DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 2445–000] 

Green Mountain Power Corporation; 

Notice of Authorization for Continued 

Project Operation 

The license for the Center Rutland 

Hydroelectric Project No. 2445 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. 2445 

is issued to Green Mountain Power 

Corporation 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 Green Mountain Power Corporation 

is authorized to continue operation of 

the Center Rutland 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 10, 2024.
