DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2955-000]
City of Watervliet, New York; Notice of Authorization for
Continued Project Operation
On February 28, 2020, the City of Watervliet, New York, licensee
for the Normanskill Hydroelectric Project No.2955, filed an Application
for a Subsequent Minor License for the Normanskill Hydroelectric
Project pursuant to the Federal Power Act (FPA) and the Commission's
regulations thereunder. The Normanskill Hydroelectric Project located
on the Normans Kill in Guilderland, Albany County, New York
The license for Project No.2955 was issued for a period ending
February 28, 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
[[Page 13289]]
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.2955 is issued to
the City of Watervliet, New York, for a period effective March 1, 2022
through February 28, 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 February 28, 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 the City of Watervliet, New York, is authorized to
continue operation of the Normanskill Hydroelectric Project, until such
time as the Commission acts on its application for a Subsequent Minor
license.
Dated: March 3, 2022.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
