Notice of Authorization for Continued

On December 30, 2015, Algonquin 

Power (Beaver Falls), LLC, licensee for 

the Upper Beaver Falls Hydroelectric 

Project No. 2593 and the Lower Beaver 

Falls Hydroelectric Project No. 2823, 

filed a joint application for subsequent 

license 1 pursuant to the Federal Power 

Act (FPA) and the Commission’s 

regulations thereunder. Both projects 

are located on the Beaver River in the 

towns of Croghan and New Bremen in 

Lewis County, New York. 

The license terms for Project Nos. 

2593 and 2823 ended on December 31, 

2017. 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 section 15 

of the FPA, notice is hereby given that 

an annual license for Project No. 2593 

is issued to the licensee for a period 

effective January 1, 2018 through 

December 31, 2018 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
