Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 3133–000] 

Brookfield White Pine, LLC, Errol 

Hydroelectric Co., LLC; Notice of 

Authorization for Continued Project 

Operation 

The license for the Errol Hydroelectric 

Project No. 3133 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. 3133 

is issued to Brookfield White Pine 

Hydro, LLC and Errol Hydroelectric Co., 

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 Brookfield White Pine Hydro, LLC 

and Errol Hydroelectric Co., LLC are 

authorized to continue operation of the 

Errol 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.

On September 11, 2023, Northern

submitted to the Federal Energy

copy of its application for a Clean Water 

Act section 401(a)(1) water quality 

certification filed with the Wisconsin 

Department of Natural Resources 

(Wisconsin DNR), in conjunction with 

the above captioned project. Pursuant to 

section 401 of the Clean Water Act 1 and 

section 4.34(b)(5) of the Commission’s 

regulations,2 a State certifying agency is 

deemed to have waived its certifying 

authority if it fails or refuses to act on 

a certification request within a 

reasonable period of time, which is one 

year after the date the certification 

request was received. Accordingly, we 

hereby notify Wisconsin DNR of the 

following: 

Date of Receipt of the Certification 

Request: September 11, 2023. 

Reasonable Period of Time to Act on 

the Certification Request: One year 

(September 11, 2024). 

If Wisconsin DNR fails or refuses to 

act on the water quality certification 

request on or before the above date, then 

the agency certifying authority is 

deemed waived pursuant to section 

401(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act, 33 

U.S.C. 1341(a)(1). 

Dated: September 14, 2023.
