Briar Hydro Associates; Notice of Authorization for Continued 
Project Operation

    The license for the Penacook Lower Falls Hydroelectric Project No. 
3342 was issued for a period ending November 30, 2024.
    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. 3342 is issued to 
Briar Hydro Associates for a period effective December 1, 2024, through 
November 30, 2025, 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 November 30, 2025, 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, unless the Commission orders otherwise.
    If the project is not subject to section 15 of the FPA, notice is 
hereby given that Briar Hydro Associates is authorized to continue 
operation of the Penacook Lower Falls Hydroelectric Project under the 
terms and conditions of the prior license until the issuance of a 
subsequent license for the project or other disposition under the FPA, 
whichever comes first.

    Dated: December 19, 2024.
Debbie-Anne A. Reese,
Secretary.
