DOE/FE Evaluation 

DOE/FE will review the Statement, as 

supplemented, in accordance with its 

Procedures for Changes in Control 

Affecting Applications and 

Authorizations to Import or Export 

Natural Gas (CIC Procedures).1

Consistent with the CIC Procedures, this 

notice addresses the Authorization 

Holders’ various existing authorizations 

to export LNG to non-free trade 

agreement (non-FTA) countries, as 

identified in the Statement.2 If no 

interested person protests the change in 

control and DOE takes no action on its 

own motion, the proposed change in 

control will be deemed granted 30 days 

after publication in the Federal 

Register. If one or more protests are 

submitted, DOE will review any 

motions to intervene, protests, and 

answers, and will issue a determination 

as to whether the proposed change in 

control has been demonstrated to render 

the underlying authorizations 

inconsistent with the public interest.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CD21–6–000] 

North Loup River Public Power and 

Irrigation District; Notice of Preliminary 

Determination of a Qualifying Conduit 

Hydropower Facility and Soliciting 

Comments and Motions To Intervene 

On May 21, 2021, North Loup River 

Public Power and Irrigation District 

filed a notice of intent to construct a 

qualifying conduit hydropower facility, 

pursuant to section 30 of the Federal 

Power Act (FPA). The proposed North 

Loup Canal Hydroelectric Project would 

have an installed capacity of 30 

kilowatts (kW), and would be located in 

the applicant’s existing North Loup 

Main Canal in Valley County, Nebraska. 

Applicant Contact: Amos Lange, 128 

North 16th Street, Ord, NE 68862, 

Email: nlrppid@yahoo.com. 

FERC Contact: Christopher Chaney, 

Phone No. (202) 502–6778, Email: 

christopher.chaney@ferc.gov. 

Qualifying Conduit Hydropower 

Facility Description: The proposed 

project would consist of: (1) Four 

approximately 1.8-meter by 2.3-meter by 

2.4-meter hydrokinetic turbine modules 

with a total capacity of 30 kW; and (2) 

appurtenant facilities. The proposed 

project would have an estimated annual 

generation of approximately 130 

megawatt-hours. 

A qualifying conduit hydropower 

facility is one that is determined or 

deemed to meet all the criteria shown in 

the table below. 

TABLE 1—CRITERIA FOR QUALIFYING CONDUIT HYDROPOWER FACILITY

Statutory provision Description Satisfies 

(Y/N) 

FPA 30(a)(3)(A) ........................ The conduit the facility uses is a tunnel, canal, pipeline, aqueduct, flume, ditch, or similar 

manmade water conveyance that is operated for the distribution of water for agricultural, 

municipal, or industrial consumption and not primarily for the generation of electricity.

Y 

FPA 30(a)(3)(C)(i) ..................... The facility is constructed, operated, or maintained for the generation of electric power and 

uses for such generation only the hydroelectric potential of a non-federally owned conduit.

Y 

FPA 30(a)(3)(C)(ii) .................... The facility has an installed capacity that does not exceed 40 megawatts ................................ Y 

FPA 30(a)(3)(C)(iii) ................... On or before August 9, 2013, the facility is not licensed, or exempted from the licensing requirements of Part I of the FPA.Y 

Preliminary Determination: The 

proposed North Loup Canal 

Hydroelectric Project will not alter the 

primary purpose of the conduit system, 

which is used to distribute water for 

agricultural irrigation. Therefore, based 

upon the above criteria, Commission 

staff preliminarily determines that the 

proposal satisfies the requirements for a 

qualifying conduit hydropower facility, 

which is not required to be licensed or 

exempted from licensing.
