[Project No. 10821-000]

Pacific Gas & Electric Company; Notice of Authorization for 
Continued Project Operation

    On June 27, 2019, Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E), licensee 
for the Camp Far West Transmission Line Project No. 10821, filed an 
Application for a Subsequent License pursuant to the Federal Power Act 
(FPA) and the Commission's regulations thereunder. The Camp Far West 
Transmission Line Project is located in Placer and Yuba Counties, 
California.
    The license for Project No. 10821 was issued for a period ending 
June 30, 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 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. 10821 is issued to 
the Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E), for a period effective July 
1, 2021 through June 30, 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 June 30, 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 Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) is authorized 
to continue operation of the Camp Far West Transmission Line Project, 
until such time as the Commission acts on its application for a 
subsequent license.

    Dated: July 13, 2021.

Secretary.
