Archon Energy 1, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

    On November 12, 2013, and February 7, 2014, Archon Energy 1, Inc. 
(Archon) filed and amended, respectively, an application for a 
preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 
proposing to study the feasibility of the proposed Purisima Point Wave 
Park Project (project). The proposed project would be developed in a 
phased approach. Under a potential pilot project license, installation 
of several wave energy converter units would have a capacity of 5-10 
megawatts (MW). Under a commercial license, a proposed project would 
consist of thirty-three 3-MW wave energy converter units with a 
capacity of 100 MW. The proposed project would have a maximum potential 
of 500 MW with installation of additional wave energy converter units. 
The requested project boundary comprises approximately 12 to 15 square 
nautical miles of coastal waters and lands located along the coast of 
Santa Barbara County, California, near the Vandenberg Air Force Base.
    The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant 
the permit holder priority to file a license application during the 
permit term. A preliminary permit does not authorize the permit holder 
to perform any land disturbing or construction activities or to 
otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the 
owners' express permission.
    Applicant Contact: Paul J. Grist, Archon Energy 1, Inc., 101 East
