Commission 

[Project No. 2531–000] 

Brookfield White Pine, LLC; Notice of 

Authorization for Continued Project 

Operation 

On August 10, 2012, Brookfield White 

Pine LLC, licensee for the West Buxton 

Hydroelectric Project, filed an 

Application for a New License pursuant 

to the Federal Power Act (FPA) and the 

Commission’s regulations thereunder. 

The West Buxton Hydroelectric Project 

facility is located on the Saco River in 

the towns of Buxton, Hollis, and 

Standish, within York and Cumberland 

Counties, Maine. 

The license for Project No. 2531 was 

issued for a period ending 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. 2531 

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 

(or other disposition) does not take 

place on or before December 31, 2018, 

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 the licensee, Brookfield White Pine, 

LLC is authorized to continue operation 

of the West Buxton Hydroelectric 

Project, until such time as the 

Commission acts on its application for 

a subsequent license.
