DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 8936-000]
Far West Power Corporation; Notice of Authorization for Continued
Project Operation
The Power Canal Hydroelectric Project is located on the tailrace
canal of Pacific Gas and Electric Company's (PG&E) existing Potter
Valley Project No. 77, on the East Fork Russian River, in Mendocino
County, California. The license for Project No. 8936 was issued for a
period ending April 14, 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. 8936 is issued to
the Far West Power Corporation for a period effective April 15, 2022
through April 14, 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 April 14, 2023, notice is hereby given that, pursuant to 18
CFR 16.18(c), an annual license under section 15(a)(1) of the
[[Page 25235]]
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 Far West Power Corporation is authorized to
continue operation of the Power Canal Hydroelectric Project, until such
time as the Commission orders disposition of the project.
Dated: April 22, 2022.
Debbie-Anne A. Reese,
Deputy Secretary.
