[Project 2879-000]
Green Mountain Power Corporation; Notice of Authorization for
Continued Project Operation
On January 30, 2020, Green Mountain Power Corporation, licensee for
the Bolton Falls Hydroelectric Project No. 2879, filed an Application
for a New Major License for Bolton Falls Hydroelectric Project pursuant
to the Federal Power Act (FPA) and the Commission's regulations
thereunder. The Bolton Falls Hydroelectric Project is located on the
Winooski River in Washington County, Vermont.
The license for Project No. 2879 was issued for a period ending
January 31, 2022. 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. 2879 is issued to
Green Mountain Power Corporation, for a period effective February 1,
2022 through January 30, 2023 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 January 30, 2023, 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 Green Mountain Power Corporation, is authorized to
continue operation of the Bolton Falls Hydroelectric Project, until
such time as the Commission acts on its application for a new major
license.
Dated: February 3, 2022.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
