DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 2361–000] 

ALLETE, Inc; Notice of Authorization 

for Continued Project Operation 

The license for the Prairie River 

Hydroelectric Project No. 2361 was 

issued for a period ending December 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. 2361 

is issued to ALLETE, Inc. for a period 

effective January 1, 2024, through 

December 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 December 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 ALLETE, Inc. is authorized to 

continue operation of the Prairie River 

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: January 8, 2024.

Commission 

[Project No. 1494–405] 

Grand River Dam Authority; 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 the Grand 

River Dam Authority’s (GRDA) 

application for an amendment to the 

license of the Pensacola Hydroelectric 

Project No. 1494 and have prepared an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) for the 

proposed amendment. GRDA proposes 

to acquire, develop, and manage a 540- 

acre tract of land known as the Coal 

Creek Wildlife Management Area 

(WMA) and include these lands in the 

project boundary. This area is located 

along the south side of the Neosho River 

about three miles southwest of Miami, 

Oklahoma, immediately adjacent to the 

project boundary. Features of the 

Pensacola Project include: a concrete 

dam; auxiliary spillways; a reservoir 

known as Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees 

(Grand Lake); six penstocks, turbines, 

and generators; a powerhouse; a tailrace; 

and appurtenant facilities. The project is 

located on the Neosho (Grand) River in 

Craig, Delaware, Mayes, and Ottawa 

counties, Oklahoma, and occupies

federal land administered by the Bureau 

of Indian Affairs. 

The EA contains Commission staff’s 

analysis of the potential environmental 

effects of developing and maintaining 

the Coal Creek WMA by GRDA and 

cooperatively with the Oklahoma 

Department of Wildlife Conservation to 

provide habitat for migratory birds and 

other wildlife through specific habitat 

restoration and management measures, 

and concludes that the proposed 

amendment, with appropriate 

environmental protective measures, 

would not constitute a major federal 

action that would significantly affect the 

quality of the human environment.

Commission’s website at http://
