DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 3452-000]
Erie Boulevard Hydropower, L.P.; Notice of Authorization for
Continued Project Operation
On June 28, 2019, Erie Boulevard Hydropower, L.P., licensee for the
Oak Orchard Hydroelectric Project No. 3452, filed an Application for a
Subsequent License pursuant to the Federal Power Act (FPA) and the
Commission's regulations thereunder. The Oak Orchard Hydroelectric
Project is located adjacent to the New York State Canal Corporation's
Barge Canal in the Village of Medina, Orleans County, New York.
The license for Project No. 3452 was issued for a period ending
June 30, 2021. Section 15(a)(1) of the FPA, 16 U.S.C. 808(a)(1),
requires the Commission, at the expiration of a license term, to issue
from year-to-year an annual license to the then licensee(s) under the
terms and conditions of the prior license until a new license is
issued, or the project is otherwise disposed of as provided in section
15 or any other applicable section of the FPA. If the project's prior
license waived the applicability of section 15 of the FPA, then, based
on section 9(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 558(c),
and as set forth at 18 CFR 16.21(a), if the licensee of such project
has filed an application for a subsequent license, the licensee may
continue to operate the project in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the license after the minor or minor part license
expires, until the Commission acts on its application. If the licensee
of such a project has not filed an application for a subsequent
license, then it may be required, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.21(b), to
continue project operations until the Commission issues someone else a
license for the project or otherwise orders disposition of the project.
If the project is subject to section 15 of the FPA, notice is
hereby given that an annual license for Project No. 3452 is issued to
Erie Boulevard Hydropower, L.P. for a period effective July 1, 2021
through June 30, 2022 or until the issuance of a new license for the
project
[[Page 38335]]
or other disposition under the FPA, whichever comes first. If issuance
of a new license (or other disposition) does not take place on or
before June 30, 2022, notice is hereby given that, pursuant to 18 CFR
16.18(c), an annual license under section 15(a)(1) of the FPA is
renewed automatically without further order or notice by the
Commission, unless the Commission orders otherwise.
If the project is not subject to section 15 of the FPA, notice is
hereby given that Erie Boulevard Hydropower, L.P is authorized to
continue operation of the Oak Orchard Hydroelectric Project, until such
time as the Commission acts on its application for a subsequent
license.
Dated: July 14, 2021.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
