Commission 

[Project No. 5261–000] 

Green Mountain Power Corporation; 

Notice of Authorization for Continued 

Project Operation 

The license for the Newbury 

Hydroelectric Project No. 5261 was 

issued for a period ending August 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. 5261 

is issued to Green Mountain Power 

Corporation for a period effective 

September 1, 2023, through August 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 August 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 Green Mountain Power Corporation 

is authorized to continue operation of 

the Newbury 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.

[Project No. 2853–073] 

Montana Department of Natural 

Resources and Conservation; Notice 

of Intent To Prepare an Environmental 

Assessment 

On June 30, 2022, the Montana 

Department of Natural Resources and 

Conservation (Montana DNRC) filed an 

application for a new major license for 

the 9.66-megawatt Broadwater 

Hydroelectric Project (Broadwater 

Project; FERC No. 2853). The 

Broadwater Project is located on the 

Missouri River near the town of Toston 

in Broadwater County, Montana. The 

project includes Federal lands 

administered by the Bureau of Land 

Management. 

In accordance with the Commission’s 

regulations, on July 7, 2023, 

Commission staff issued a notice that 

the project was ready for environmental 

analysis (REA Notice). Based on the 

information in the record, including 

comments filed on the REA Notice, staff 

does not anticipate that licensing the 

project would constitute a major Federal 

action significantly affecting the quality 

of the human environment. Therefore, 

staff intends to prepare a draft and final 

Environmental Assessment (EA) on the 

application to relicense the Broadwater 

Project. 

The EA will be issued and circulated 

for review by all interested parties. All 

comments filed on the EA will be 

analyzed by staff and considered in the 

Commission’s final licensing decision. 

The Commission’s Office of Public 

Participation (OPP) supports meaningful 

public engagement and participation in 

Commission proceedings. OPP can help 

members of the public, including 

landowners, environmental justice 

communities, Tribal members and 

others, access publicly available 

information and navigate Commission 

processes. For public inquiries and 

assistance with making filings such as 

interventions, comments, or requests for 

rehearing, the public is encouraged to
