    On December 20, 2021, ALLETE, Inc. (ALLETE) filed an application

a Clean Water Act section 401(a)(1) water quality certification from 
ALLETE, in conjunction with the above captioned project.
    On December 21, 2022, staff provided Minnesota Pollution Control 
Agency with written notice that the applicable reasonable period of 
time for it to act on the certification request was one (1) year from 
the date of receipt of the request, and that the certification 
requirement for the license would be waived if the certifying authority 
failed to act by December 14, 2023. Because Minnesota Pollution Control 
Agency did not act by December 14, 2023, we are notifying you pursuant 
to section 401(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1341(a)(1), that 
waiver of the certification requirement has occurred.

    Dated: February 9, 2024.
Debbie-Anne A. Reese,
Acting Secretary.
