[Project No. 3820-000]
Aclara Meters, LLC; Notice of Authorization for Continued Project
Operation
On March 29, 2019, Aclara Meters, LLC, licensee for the Somersworth
Hydroelectric Project No. 3820, filed an application for Surrender of
License. The Somersworth Hydroelectric Project is located on the Salmon
Falls River in Strafford County, New Hampshire, and York County, Maine.
The license for Project No. 3820 was issued for a period ending
August 31, 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,
[[Page 52145]]
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. 3820 is issued to
Aclara Meters, LLC for a period effective September 1, 2021 through
August 31, 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 August 31, 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 Aclara Meters, LLC is authorized to continue
operation of the Somersworth Hydroelectric Project, until such time as
the Commission takes final action on the application for Surrender of
License.
Dated: September 14, 2021.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
