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

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. 2064

is issued to Flambeau Hydro, LLC for a

period effective December 1, 2001,

through November 30, 2002, 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 1,

2002, 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 Flambeau Hydro, LLC is authorized

to continue operation of the Winter

Project No. 2064 until such time as the

Commission acts on its application for

subsequent license.

Marseilles Hydro Power LLC; Notice of

Rejection of Notices of Intent To File

Competing Applications and Waiver of

Section 4.36

December 11, 2001.

Pursuant to the notice of acceptance

of application for the Marseilles

Hydroelectric Project, issued August 16,

2001 by the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission (Commission), the

following filings have been received: (1)

Marseilles Land and Water Company

(MLWC) September 18, 2001 filing for

waiver of the requirements of § 4.36 of

the Commission’s regulations

establishing deadlines for the filing of

applications with an initial preliminary

permit application; and (2) the three

October 15, 2001 notices of intent to file

competing development applications

filed by MLWC, Fountainhead

Properties LLC, and City of Oglesby,

Illinois, respectively.

Background

On May 14, 2001, Marseilles Hydro

Power LLC (MHP) filed its application

for license for the Marseilles

Hydroelectric Project, FERC No. 12020,

pursuant to the notice of intent it had

filed in response to the Commission’s

notice of filing of an application for

preliminary permit, FERC Project No.

11863, by MLWC. The Commission

issued a public notice that MHP’s

application for license for Project No.

12020 had been accepted for filing on

August 16, 2001. The above mentioned

subsequent filings were filed with the

Commission.

Commission Conclusions

The Commission has previously

addressed the situation of when an

application for license may be filed in

competition with an initial permit

application.1 The Commission has

clearly specified that license

applications filed in competition with

an initial permit application are to be

filed in response to the notice of the

initial preliminary permit application,

not subsequent notices of a competing

license application as claimed by

MLWC.

Therefore, the Commission rejects the

pleadings of (1) MLWC’s filing for

waiver of the requirements of § 4.36;

and (2) the three October 15, 2001

notices of intent to file competing

development applications filed by

MLWC, Fountainhead Properties LLC,

and City of Oglesby, Illinois,

respectively.

This notice constitutes final agency

action. Requests for rehearing by the

Commission may be filed within 30

days of the date of this issuance of this

notice, pursuant to 18 CFR 385.713.
