The following definitions are used in this General Permit, in addition to those contained in OAR 141-085:
(1) “Commercial Operation”, as defined in ORS 274.870 (Definitions for ORS 274.870 to 274.879), means a project undertaken to generate ocean renewable energy for a purposes other than research, demonstration or personal use and that has financial profit as a goal.
(2) "Demonstration Project", means a limited duration, non-commercial activity in the territorial sea to test the economic and/or technological viability of establishing a commercial operation. A demonstration project may be temporarily connected to the regional power grid for testing purposes without being a commercial operation.
(3) "Educational/Research Institution", as defined in OAR 141-140-0020 (Definitions), means any accredited public or private university or college, or non-profit research organization.

(5) “Ocean Renewable Energy”, as defined in ORS 274.870 (Definitions for ORS 274.870 to 274.879), means electricity that is generated through:
(a) The conversion of energy contained in the natural properties of the ocean, including but not limited to energy contained in waves and swells, the tides and currents, ocean temperature and salinity gradients; and,
(b) Ocean offshore wind power.
(7) “Ocean Renewable Energy Facility”, as defined in ORS 274.870 (Definitions for ORS 274.870 to 274.879), means any energy conversion technology or device that is used as a necessary component of a research project, demonstration project or commercial operation to generate ocean renewable energy, including but not limited to all buoys, anchors, energy collectors, cables, control and transmission lines, and other equipment necessary or useful to the project or operation.
(5) "Research Project", means a limited duration, non-commercial activity by an educational/research institution for the placement of ocean renewable energy facility in the territorial sea. The purpose of a research project is to test the technology used in, or functionality of an experimental ocean renewable energy device.
(9) "Territorial Sea" means the waters and seabed extending three geographical miles seaward from the coastline in conformance with federal law.
