[Project No. 3562–000] 

KEI (Maine) Power Management (III), 

LLC; Notice of Authorization for 

Continued Project Operation 

The license for the Barker Mill Upper 

Hydroelectric Project No. 3562 was 

issued for a period ending July 31, 2023. 

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. 3562 

is issued to KEI (Maine) Power 

Management (III), LLC for a period 

effective August 1, 2023, through July 

31, 2024, 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 July 31, 2024, 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 KEI (Maine) Power Management 

(III), LLC is authorized to continue 

operation of Barker Mill Upper 

Hydroelectric Project under the terms 

and conditions of the prior license until 

the issuance of a new license for the 

project or other disposition under the 

FPA, whichever comes first.

Texas Eastern Transmission, LP; 

Notice of Request Under Blanket 

Authorization and Establishing 

Intervention and Protest Deadline 

Take notice that on September 7, 

2023, Texas Eastern Transmission, LP 

(Texas Eastern), 915 N Eldridge 

Parkway, Suite 1100, Houston, Texas 

77079–2703, filed in the above 

referenced docket, a prior notice request 

pursuant to sections 157.205 and 

157.216 of the Commission’s regulations 

under the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and 

Texas Eastern’s blanket certificate 

issued in Docket No. CP82–535–000, for 

authorization to: (1) abandon in-place 

an approximately 1.75-mile-long, 20- 

inch-diameter portion of its Line 40–G 

supply lateral; and (2) abandon by 

removal its M&R Station 72138 and 

related piping, all located in offshore 

federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico 

near Louisiana (Line 40–G Partial 

Abandonment Project). Texas Eastern 

states that the project will allow Texas 

Eastern to eliminate the need for capital 

expenditures associated with the 

ongoing maintenance and repair of 

facilities that are no longer required for 

gas transportation service. Texas Eastern 

states that the project will have no 

impact on the certificated capacity of 

Texas Eastern’s system, and no 

customer has a primary firm receipt 

point or primary firm delivery point on 

the segments to be abandoned. The 

estimated cost of removal related to the 

abandonment for the project is 

$4,200,000, all as more fully set forth in 

the request which is on file with the 

Commission and open to public 

inspection.
