[Federal Register Volume 80, Number 134 (Tuesday, July 14, 2015)] [Notices] [Page 41030] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2015-17223] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Project No. 2464-000] Gresham Municipal Utilities; Notice Of Authorization for Continued Project Operation On June 10, 2013 Gresham Municipal Utilities, licensee for the Weed Dam Hydroelectric Project, filed an Application for a New License pursuant to the Federal Power Act (FPA) and the Commission's regulations thereunder. The Weed Dam Hydroelectric Project is located on Red River, in Shawano County, Wisconsin. The license for Project No. 2464 was issued for a period ending June 30, 2015. 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 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. 2464 is issued to the licensee for a period effective July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 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 June 30, 2016, 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 the licensee, Gresham Municipal Utilities, is authorized to continue operation of the Weed Dam Hydroelectric Project, until such time as the Commission acts on its application for a subsequent license. Dated: July 8, 2015. Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary. [FR Doc. 2015-17223 Filed 7-13-15; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-P
