Commission 

[Project No. 2570–000] 

Eagle Creek Racine Hydro, LLC; Notice 

of Authorization for Continued Project 

Operation 

The license for the Racine 

Hydroelectric Project No. 2570 was 

issued for a period ending November 30, 

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. 2570 

is issued to Eagle Creek Racine Hydro, 

LLC for a period effective December 1, 

2023, through November 30, 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 November 30, 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 Eagle Creek Racine Hydro, LLC is 

authorized to continue operation of the 

Racine 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.
