Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 12790–015] 

Andrew Peklo III; Notice of Availability 

of Environmental Assessment 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission’s (Commission or FERC) 

regulations, 18 CFR part 380, 

Commission staff reviewed Andrew 

Peklo III’s (licensee) application for an 

amendment of the project license for the 

Pomperaug Hydroelectric Project No. 

12790 and have prepared an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) for the 

proposed amendment. The licensee 

proposes to install two 45 kilowatt (kW) 

turbines (for a total generating capacity 

of 90 kW) instead of the single 76 kW 

turbine authorized in the project 

license. The Pomperaug Project is 

unconstructed and would consist of a 

powerhouse located adjacent to the 

existing Pomperaug Dam on the 

Pomperaug River in the town of 

Woodbury, Litchfield County, 

Connecticut, and is not located on 

Federal lands. 

The final EA contains Commission 

staff’s analysis of the potential 

environmental effects of the proposed 

two-turbine installation and supporting 

activities, alternatives to the proposed 

action, and concludes that the proposed 

installation, with appropriate 

environmental protective measures, 

would not constitute a major Federal 

action that would significantly affect the 

quality of the human environment. 

The final EA may be viewed on the 

Commission’s website at http://

www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘elibrary’’ link.

Commission 

[Project No. 2628–000] 

Alabama Power Company; Notice of 

Authorization for Continued Project 

Operation 

The license for the R.L. Harris 

Hydroelectric Project No. 2628 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. 2628 

is issued to Alabama Power Company 

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 Alabama Power Company is 

authorized to continue operation of the 

R.L. Harris 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. 

Dated: December 13, 2023.
