[Project No. 2368-000]
Algonquin Northern Maine Generating Company; Notice of
Authorization for Continued Project Operation
On December 3, 2019, Algonquin Northern Maine Generating Company,
licensee for the Scopan Hydroelectric Project No. 2368, filed an
application for a Subsequent License pursuant to the Federal Power Act
(FPA) and the Commission's regulations thereunder. The Scopan
Hydroelectric Project is located on Scopan Stream in Aroostook County,
Maine.
The license for Project No.2368 was issued for a period ending
December 3, 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.
[[Page 71259]]
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. 2368 is issued to
Algonquin Northern Maine Generating Company for a period effective
December 4, 2021 through December 3, 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 December 3, 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 Algonquin Northern Maine Generating Company, is
authorized to continue operation of the Scopan Hydroelectric Project,
until such time as the Commission takes final action on the application
for a subsequent license.
Dated: December 9, 2021.
Debbie-Anne A. Reese,
Deputy Secretary.
