Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 15 / Tuesday, January 23, 2024 / Notices 4291 

1The Council on Environmental Quality’s (CEQ) 

regulations under 40 CFR 1501.10(b)(1) (2022) 

require that EAs be completed within 1 year of the 

federal action agency’s decision to prepare an EA. 

See National Environmental Policy Act, 42 U.S.C. 

4321 et seq., as amended by section 107(g)(1)(B)(iii) 

of the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, Public Law 

118–5, 4336a, 137 Stat. 42. 

Commission staff issued a notice that 

the project was ready for environmental 

analysis (REA notice). Based on the 

information in the record, including 

comments filed on the REA notice, staff 

does not anticipate that licensing the 

project would constitute a major federal 

action significantly affecting the quality 

of the human environment. On June 7, 

2023, the Commission issued a notice 

indicating that staff intended to prepare 

a draft and final Environmental 

Assessment (EA). However, upon 

further review, staff intends to prepare 

a single EA on the application to 

relicense the Meyers Falls Project. 

The EA will be issued and circulated 

for review by all interested parties. All 

comments filed on the EA will be 

analyzed by staff and considered in the 

Commission’s final licensing decision. 

The Commission’s Office of Public 

Participation (OPP) supports meaningful 

public engagement and participation in 

Commission proceedings. OPP can help 

members of the public, including 

landowners, environmental justice 

communities, Tribal members and 

others, access publicly available 

information and navigate Commission 

processes. For public inquiries and 

assistance with making filings such as 

interventions, comments, or requests for 

rehearing, the public is encouraged to 

contact OPP at (202) 502–6595 or OPP@

ferc.gov. 

By this notice, Commission staff is 

updating the procedural schedule for 

completing the EA. The revised 

schedule is shown below. Further 

revisions to the schedule may be made 

as appropriate.

Commission 

[Project No. 2391–000] 

PE Hydro Generation, LLC; Notice of 

Authorization for Continued Project 

Operation 

The license for the Warren 

Hydroelectric Project No. 2391 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. 2391 

is issued to PE Hydro Generation, LLC 

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 PE Hydro Generation, LLC is 

authorized to continue operation of the 

Warren 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 16, 2024.
