Commission 

[Project No., 2232–610] 

Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC; Notice of 

Effectiveness of Withdrawal of 

Rehearing Request 

On August 11, 2009, Duke Energy 

Carolinas, LLC (Duke Energy), filed a 

petition asking the Commission to 

declare that the state of South Carolina 

has waived its water quality 

certification for the relicensing of Duke 

Energy’s Catawba-Wateree Hydroelectric 

Project No. 2232. On April 17, 2014, the 

Commission denied the petition.1 On 

May 16, 2014, Duke Energy filed a 

request for rehearing. By delegated order 

issued June 16, 2014, rehearing was 

granted for the limited purpose of 

further consideration. 

On August 5, 2014, based on an 

agreement among Duke Energy, two 

environmental stakeholders, and South 

Carolina’s water quality agency, Duke 

Energy filed a motion to stay 

deliberation on the rehearing request. 

On February 18, 2015, having received 

a final water quality certification from 

the state, Duke Energy filed a notice of 

withdrawal of its rehearing request. 

Pursuant to Rule 216 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure,2 the withdrawal of any 

pleading is effective at the end of 15 

days from the date the notice of 

withdrawal is filed if, within that 

period, no motion in opposition to the 

notice is filed and the Commission takes 

no action disallowing withdrawal. The 

15-day period closed on March 5, 2015. 

No such pleading was filed, and the 

Commission took no such action. 

Accordingly, Duke Energy’s rehearing 

request is withdrawn and this 

proceeding is thereby terminated. 

Dated: March 6, 2015.

the Commission’s Regulations under the
