Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 3251-000]
Cornell University; Notice of Authorization for Continued Project
Operation
On June 28, 2019, Cornell University, licensee for the Cornell
University Hydroelectric Project No.3251, filed an Application for a
Subsequent License pursuant to the Federal Power Act (FPA) and the
Commission's regulations thereunder. The Cornell University
Hydroelectric Project is located on Fall Creek within the Cornell
University campus in the City of Ithaca, Tompkins County, New York.
The license for Project No. 3251 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. 3251 is issued to
Cornell University for a period effective July 1, 2021 through June 30,
2022 or until the issuance of a new license for the project 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
[[Page 38331]]
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 Cornell University is authorized to continue
operation of the Cornell University Hydroelectric Project, until such
time as the Commission acts on its application for a subsequent
license.
Dated: July 13, 2021.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
