DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2883-000]
Aquenergy Systems, LLC; Notice of Authorization for Continued
Project Operation
On May 30, 2018, Aquenergy Systems, LLC, licensee for the Fries
Hydroelectric Project No.2883, filed an Application for a New Major
License pursuant to the Federal Power Act (FPA) and the Commission's
regulations thereunder. The Fries Hydroelectric Project is located on
the New River in the Town of Fries, Grayson County, Virginia.
The license for Project No. 2883 was issued for a period ending May
31, 2020. 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. 2883 is issued to
Aquenergy Systems, LLC for a period effective June 1, 2020 through May
31, 2021 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
May 31, 2021, 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 Aquenergy Systems, LLC is authorized to continue
operation of the Fries Hydroelectric Project, until such time as the
Commission acts on its application for a new major license.
Dated: October 19, 2021.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
