Period of Time for Water Quality Certification Application

    On March 11, 2022, the Power Authority of the State of New York

evidence of its application for a Clean Water Act section 401(a)(1)

above captioned project. Pursuant to section 401 of the Clean Water Act 
\1\ and section 5.23(b) of the Commission's regulations,\2\ a state 
certifying agency is deemed to have waived its certifying authority if 
it fails or refuses to act on a certification request within a 
reasonable period of time, which is one year after the date the 
certification request was received. Accordingly, we hereby notify New 
York DEC of the following:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 33 U.S.C. 1341(a)(1).
    \2\ 18 CFR [4.34(b)(5)/5.23(b)/153.4/157.22].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Date that New York DEC Received the Certification Request: March 
11, 2022.
    If New York DEC fails or refuses to act on the water quality 
certification request on or before March 11, 2023, then the agency 
certifying authority is deemed waived pursuant to section 401(a)(1) of 
the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1341(a)(1).

    Dated: April 7, 2022.
