Brookfield White Pine Hydro LLC; 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment 

On November 20, 2020, Brookfield 

White Pine Hydro LLC (White Pine 

Hydro) filed an application for a new 

license for the 10.9-megawatt Hiram 

Hydroelectric Project (Hiram Project) 

(FERC No. 2530). The Hiram Project is 

located on the Saco River near the 

towns of Hiram, Baldwin, Denmark, and 

Brownfield in Oxford and Cumberland 

Counties, Maine. The project does not 

occupy federal land. 

In accordance with the Commission’s 

regulations, on January 11, 2021, 

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 license the Hiram Project. 

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 application will be processed 

according to the following schedule. 

Revisions to the schedule may be made 

as appropriate.

[Project No. 3063–000] 

Blackstone Hydro Associates; Notice 

of Authorization for Continued Project 

Operation 

On July 31, 2019, Blackstone Hydro 

Associates, licensee for the Central Falls 

Hydroelectric Project No. 3063, filed an 

Application for a Subsequent License 

pursuant to the Federal Power Act 

(FPA) and the Commission’s regulations 

thereunder. The Central Falls 

Hydroelectric Project is located on the 

Blackstone River, in the City of Central 

Falls, Providence County, Rhode Island. 

The license for Project No. 3063 was 

issued for a period ending July 31, 2021. 

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(s) 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 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
43652 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 151 / Tuesday, August 10, 2021 / Notices 

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. 3063 

is issued to Blackstone Hydro 

Associates for a period effective August 

1, 2021 through July 31, 2022 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 July 31, 

2022, 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 Blackstone Hydro Associates is 

authorized to continue operation of the 

Central Falls Hydroelectric Project, until 

such time as the Commission acts on its 

application for a subsequent license.

webinar will be for an Opportunity 

Zones Practitioner Panel for the EFAB 

Opportunity Zones Workgroup. Due to 

interest from the full Board, this 

webinar is being opened to the public. 

DATES: The webinar will be held on 

August 26, 2021 from 12 p.m. to 1:30 

p.m. (Eastern Time). 

ADDRESSES: The webinar briefing will be 

conducted via webinar only and is open 

to the public. Interested persons must 

register in advance at the weblink below 

to access the meeting. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any 

member of the public who wants 

information about the meeting may 

contact Ed Chu, the Designated Federal 

Officer, via telephone/voice mail at 

(913) 551–7333 or email to efab@

epa.gov. General information 

concerning the EFAB is available at 

https://www.epa.gov/ 

waterfinancecenter/efab. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The EFAB is an EPA 

advisory committee chartered under the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), 5 U.S.C. app. 2, to provide 

advice and recommendations to EPA on 

innovative approaches to funding 

environmental programs, projects, and 

activities. Administrative support for 

the EFAB is provided by the Water 

Infrastructure and Resiliency Finance 

Center within EPA’s Office of Water. 

Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, 

notice is hereby given that the EFAB 

will hold a public webinar briefing for 

the following purpose: 

(1) The purpose of the webinar will be 

for members of the EFAB to hear from 

Opportunity Zones practitioners who 

work on Opportunity Zones investments 

in disadvantaged communities and are 

willing to share their experiences to 

support the workgroup’s charge. The 

webinar is open to the public, but no 

oral public comments will be accepted 

during the briefing. Written public 

comments relating to the Opportunity 

Zones Workgroup should be provided in

on written statements.

will be available on EPA’s website at

Procedures for Providing Public Input: 

Public comment for consideration by 

EPA’s federal advisory committees has a 

different purpose from public comment 

provided to EPA program offices. 

Therefore, the process for submitting 

comments to a federal advisory 

committee is different from the process 

used to submit comments to an EPA 

program office. Federal advisory 

committees provide independent advice 

to EPA. Members of the public can 

submit comments on matters being 

considered by the EFAB for 

consideration by members as they 

develop their advice and 

recommendations to EPA. 

Written Statements: Written 

statements for the webinar should be 

received by August 20, 2021 so that the 

information can be made available to 

the EFAB for its consideration. Written 

statements should be sent via email to 

efab@epa.gov. Members of the public 

should be aware that their personal 

contact information, if included in any 

written comments, may be posted to the 

EFAB website. Copyrighted material 

will not be posted without explicit 

permission of the copyright holder. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities or to request 

accommodations for a disability, please 

register for the webinar and list any 

special requirements or 

accommodations needed on the 

registration form at least 10 business 

days prior to the meeting to allow as 

much time as possible to process your 

request.
