[Project No. 2670]

Northern States Power Company, City

of Eau Claire; Notice of Authorization

for Continued Project Operation

October 17, 2000.

On August 21, 1998, Northern States

Power Company and the City of Eau

Claire, licensees for the Dells Project No.

2670, filed an application for a new or

subsequent license pursuant to the

Federal Power Act (FPA) and the

Commission’s regulations thereunder.

Project No. 2670 is located on the

Chippewa River in Chippewa and Eau

Claire Counties, Wisconsin.

The license for Project No. 2670 was

issued for a period ending September

29, 2000. 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

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 Section1 5

of the FPA, notice is hereby given that

an annual license for Project No. 2670

is issued to Northern States Power

Company and the City of Eau Claire for
