DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 10482-000]
Eagle Creek Hydro Power, LLC, Eagle Creek Water Resources, LLC,
Eagle Creek Land Resources, LLC; Notice of Authorization for Continued
Project Operation
On March 31, 2020, Eagle Creek Hydro Power, LLC, Eagle Creek Water
Resources, LLC, and Eagle Creek Land Resources, LLC, (collectively
referred to as Eagle Creek) co-licensees for the Swinging Bridge
Hydroelectric Project No. 10482, filed an application for a new major
license. The Swinging Bridge Hydroelectric Project is located on the
Mongaup River and Black Lake Creek in Sullivan County, New York.
The license for Project No. 10482 was issued for a period ending
March 31, 2022. Section 15(a)(1) of the FPA, 16
[[Page 21652]]
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. 10482 is issued to
Eagle Creek for a period effective April 1, 2022 through March 31, 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 March
23, 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 Eagle Creek is authorized to continue operation of
the Swinging Bridge Hydroelectric Project, until such time as the
Commission takes final action on the application for a new major
license.
Dated: April 5, 2022.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
