Oswego Hydro Partners, LP; Notice of Revised Procedural Schedule

    This notice revises the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's 
(Commission) schedule for processing the relicense application for the 
Phoenix Hydroelectric Project No. 4113, which was filed by Oswego Hydro 
Partners, LP (Oswego Hydro) on February 27, 2024. On July 8, 2024, 
Commission staff issued Scoping Document 1 (SD1), which included an 
initial processing schedule with an issuance date of September 2024, 
for a public notice indicating that the application is ready for 
environmental analysis.
    On August 7, 2024, Oswego Hydro notified the Commission that it is 
actively engaged in settlement negotiations on potential protection, 
mitigation, and enhancement measures at the project. On September 6, 
2024, Oswego Hydro filed a letter stating that settlement discussions 
with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and 
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have been productive and the parties 
are making progress towards formalizing terms and conditions that would 
resolve operational and environmental issues raised by the parties. 
Oswego Hydro anticipated filing a Settlement Agreement with the 
Commission by the end of 2024. On December 2, 2024, Oswego Hydro filed 
an update on the settlement negotiations, stating that fish passage 
discussions have been productive and that it now expects to file a 
Settlement Agreement in the first quarter of 2025.
    To provide additional time for the parties to conduct settlement 
negotiations, the application will be processed according to the 
following revised schedule.
