DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2587-000]
Notice of Authorization for Continued Project Operation; Northern
States Power Company
The license for the Superior Falls Hydroelectric Project No. 2587
was issued for a period ending December 31, 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. 2587 is issued to
Northern States Power Company for a period effective January 1, 2025,
through December 31, 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 December 31, 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 Northern States Power Company is authorized to
continue operation of the Superior 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: January 24, 2025.
Debbie-Anne A. Reese,
Secretary.
