[Project No. 7153–018] 

Consolidated Hydro New York, LLC; 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment 

On April 29, 2022, Consolidated 

Hydro New York, LLC filed a relicense 

application for the 1.656-megawatt 

Victory Mills Hydroelectric Project 

(Victory Mills Project or project; FERC 

No. 7153). The project is located on Fish 

Creek in Saratoga County in the Village 

of Victory, New York. 

In accordance with the Commission’s 

regulations, on June 28, 2024, 

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. Therefore, 

staff intends to prepare an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) on the 

application to relicense the project.1

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

communities, Tribal members, and

rehearing, the public is encouraged to 

contact OPP at (202) 502–6595 or OPP@

ferc.gov. 

The application will be processed 

according to the following schedule. 

The EA will be issued for a 30-day 

comment period. Revisions to the 

schedule may be made as appropriate.

The Commission’s Rules of Practice

official service list for the project. 

Further, if an intervenor files comments

may affect the responsibilities of a 

particular resource agency, they must

l. Description of Project Facilities: The 

project works include a 5-foot-high,

foot, 18-inch-diameter buried penstock; 

a powerhouse containing one generating 

units with a total installed capacity of 

750 kilowatts, and appurtenant 

facilities. The project has historically 

operated as run-of-river but has not 

operated since 2008 when it lost its 

power purchase agreement. 

m. Description of Proceeding: The 

licensee has not complied with 

Standard Article 16 of the license which 

was issued on May 12, 1983 (23 FERC 

62,205). Article 16 states that if the 

licensee abandons or discontinues good 

faith operation of the project or refuses 

or neglects to comply with the terms of 

the license and the lawful orders of the 

Commission, the Commission will deem 

it to be the intent of the licensee to 

surrender the license. 

Commission staff issued a letter, on 

September 26, 2019, requesting a plan 

and schedule to resume project 

operation or surrender of the license. On 

February 26, 2019, we granted an 

extension of time until August 2, 2019. 

On October 15, 2020, a second 

extension of time was requested, which 

was granted on October 20, 2020, and

2021. On March 15, 2023, Commission 

staff issued another letter requesting a 

plan and schedule to restore the project 

to operation or an application to 

surrender the exemption by April 14, 

2023. On April 13, 2023, an additional 

extension of time was requested to 

allow for sale of the project. 

Commission staff issued the extension 

of time on May 4, 2023, granting until 

August 2, 2023, to a transfer agreement. 

To date, no additional filings have been 

made. On August 13, 2024, Commission 

staff issued a letter notifying the

Commission 

[Docket No. CP23–528–001] 

Midwestern Gas Transmission 

Company; Notice of Request for 

Extension of Time 

Take notice that on September 17, 

2024, Midwestern Gas Transmission 

Company (Midwestern) requested that 

the Commission grant an extension of 

time, until February 14, 2025, to 

complete construction and place into 

service the MGT Southbound Project 

(Project) located in Edgar and 

Vermillion Counties, Illinois, and Ohio 

County, Kentucky. On August 18, 2023, 

the Commission issued a Notice of 

Request Under Blanket Authorization, 

which established a 60-day comment 

period, ending on October 17, 2023, to 

file protests. No protests were filed 

during the comment period, and 

accordingly the project selfimplemented on October 18, 2023, and 

by Rule should have been completed 

within one year. 

Midwestern states it is waiting on the 

delivery of required materials, which 

has been twice postponed by the 

manufacturer and currently is not 

scheduled to arrive until September 30, 

2024. Midwestern avers this delivery 

delay does not afford Midwestern 

sufficient time to complete construction 

of the project and place it into service. 

Based on the current scheduled delivery 

date, Midwestern anticipates being able 

to place the project in service by
