Description of Proceeding: The licensee, Sugar River LLC, requests the Commission extend the term of the license for the Lower Village Project No. 9088, from August 31, 2026 to August 31, 2031, which will align its modified expiration date with that of the nearby Sweetwater Project No. 10898, which has an expiration date of February 28, 2031. The licensee received a 40-year [[Page 57247]] license for the project on September 10, 1986. The licensee states that in order to facilitate a basin-wide relicensing approach with the Sweetwater Project, it needs to extend the license term to synchronize the license expiration date with that of the Sweetwater Project. The licensee's request includes letters from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, and New Hampshire Department of Environmental Service, all stating that they do not support extending the license term. k.
