DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 5124-000]
Washington Electric Cooperative, Inc.; Notice of Authorization
for Continued Project Operation
The license for the North Branch No. 3 Hydroelectric Project No.
5124 was issued for a period ending October 31, 2022.
Section 15(a)(1) of the Federal Power Act (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. 5124 is issued to
the Washington Electric Cooperative, Inc for a period effective
November 1, 2022, through October 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 October 31, 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,
[[Page 67471]]
unless the Commission orders otherwise.
If the project is not subject to section 15 of the FPA, notice is
hereby given that the Washington Electric Cooperative, Inc is
authorized to continue operation of the North Branch No. 3
Hydroelectric Project under the terms and conditions of the prior
license until the issuance of a new license for the project or other
disposition under the FPA, whichever comes first.
Dated: November 2, 2022.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
