j. Verdant requests a waiver of the
Commission’s pre-filing regulations
under section 16.8(c) with respect to the
requirement to submit a draft license
application for the Roosevelt Island
Tidal Energy Project. Verdant states that
the project has a long history of
consultation and that it proposes no
substantive changes to the currently
licensed pilot project. Further, Verdant
indicates that it held two joint agency
meetings (on January 8, 2019 and May
16, 2019), the second of which was held
for federal agencies that were unable to
attend the January meeting due to the
funding lapse at certain federal agencies
between December 22, 2018, and
January 25, 2019. Verdant explains that
the second joint agency meeting and the
additional time needed to respond to
study requests has reduced the amount
of time available for submitting and
effectively reviewing responses to a
draft license application, prior to the
filing of the final license application by
December 31, 2019. Therefore,
Commission staff is soliciting comments
on Verdant’s request to waive the
requirement to file a draft license
application for the Roosevelt Island
Tidal Energy Project, pursuant to
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Lock+TM Hydro Friends Fund XXVII,
LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and
Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On March 6, 2019, Lock+TM Hydro
Friends Fund XXVII, LLC, filed an
application for a preliminary permit,
pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal
Power Act, proposing to study the
feasibility of the Cowanesque Dam
Hydropower Project to be located at the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’
Cowanesque Dam on the Cowanesque
River in Tioga County, Pennsylvania.
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 landdisturbing activities or otherwise enter
upon lands or waters owned by others
without the owners’ express permission.
The proposed project would consist of
the following: (1) A new 30-foot-long,
30-foot-wide, 160-foot-high Large Frame
Module; (2) two turbine-generator units
with a total rated capacity of 0.85
megawatt; (3) a new 4-foot-long, 4-footwide, 3-foot-high pad-mounted
transformer; (4) a new 200-foot-long, 13kilovolt transmission line connecting
the new transformer to an existing
distribution line; and (5) appurtenant
facilities. The proposed project would
have an annual generation of 3,700
megawatt-hours.
