[Project No. 6115–000] 

Pyrites Hydro, LLC; Notice of 

Authorization for Continued Project 

Operation 

The license for the Pyrites 

Hydroelectric Project No. 6115 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. 6115 

is issued to Pyrites Hydro, LLC 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 Pyrites Hydro, LLC is authorized to 

continue operation of the Pyrites 

Hydroelectric Project under the terms 

and conditions of the prior license until 

the issuance of a subsequent license for
