The sole purpose of a preliminary permit 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.

Water for the project would be pumped directly from the Pacific Ocean. A breakwater would be constructed in the Pacific Ocean to reduce water level fluctuations during pumping events, and to dissipate energy during periods of power generation, for the purpose of reducing impacts to marine resources caused by project discharges. The estimated annual energy production of the proposed project would be approximately 3,952,128 megawatthours.

(NGA), and Part 157 of the Commission's regulations requesting 
authorization for its Temporary Action Project. The Project consists of 
temporarily abandoning a 21-mile segment of its 26-inch-diameter line 
known as Line N and placing it in an idled state located in Texas and 
Beaver Counties, Oklahoma. The Project will allow Southern Star 
additional time to evaluate whether to bring the line back to a 
service-ready state to meet future demand or to abandon the pipeline at 
the appropriate time in the future, all as more fully set forth in the 
application, which is on file with the Commission and open for public 
inspection.
    In addition to publishing the full text of this document in the
