FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Project No. 8615–047] 

Fiske Hydro, Inc.; Notice Soliciting PreApplication Documents and Notices of 

Intent To File a Subsequent License 

Application 

On November 30, 2020, Fiske Hydro, 

Inc. (Fiske Hydro), the current licensee 

for the Fiske Mill Hydroelectric Project 

No. 8615 (project), filed a Notice of 

Intent (NOI) to file an application for an 

exemption from licensing for the 

project.1 The existing license for the 

project expires on November 30, 2025.2

On September 20, 2023, Fiske Hydro 

filed an application to surrender its 

license for the project.3

Pursuant to section 16.20 of the 

Commission’s regulations, an existing 

licensee with a minor license not 

subject to sections 14 and 15 of the 

Federal Power Act must file an 

application for a subsequent license or 

exemption at least 24 months prior to 

the expiration of the current license, 

which with respect to the Fiske Mill 

Project, was November 30, 2023.4

Pursuant to section 16.25(a) of the 

Commission’s regulations, when an 

existing licensee, having previously 

filed an NOI to file an application for an 

exemption subsequently does not file an 

application, the Commission must 

solicit applications from potential 

applicants other than the existing 

licensee.5 Any party interested in filing 

an application for the project must file 

an NOI document within 90 days from 

the date of this notice.6 In addition, 

NOIs for a subsequent license must also 

include a pre-application document 

(PAD). Moreover, while the integrated 

licensing process is the default process 

for preparing an application for a 

subsequent license, a potential 

applicant for a subsequent license may 

include with the NOI and PAD a request 

to use alternative licensing procedures.7

An application for the Fiske Mill 

Hydroelectric Project No. 8615 must be 

filed within 18 months of the date of 

filing the NOI. 

Questions concerning the process for 

filing an NOI should be directed to 

Robert Haltner at 202–502–8612 or
