filed an application to surrender its license for the project.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 18 CFR 16.19(b) (2022).
\2\ The license for the project was issued with an effective
date of December 1, 1985, for a term of 40 years. Fiske Hydro Inc.,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to section 16.20 of the Commission's regulations, an
existing licensee with a minor license not subject to sections 14 and
15 of the Federal Power Act must file an application for a subsequent
license or exemption at least 24 months prior to the expiration of the
current license, which with respect to the Fiske Mill Project, was

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ 18 CFR 16.20(c) (2022).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to section 16.25(a) of the Commission's regulations, when

application for an exemption subsequently does not file an application,
the Commission must solicit applications from potential applicants
other than the existing licensee.\5\ Any party interested in filing an
application for the project must file an NOI document within 90 days
from the date of this notice.\6\ In addition, NOIs for a subsequent
license must also include a pre-application document (PAD). Moreover,

preparing an application for a subsequent license, a potential
applicant for a subsequent license may include with the NOI and PAD a
request to use alternative licensing procedures.\7\ An application for
the Fiske Mill Hydroelectric Project No. 8615 must be filed within 18
