    On March 31, 2020, Eagle Creek Hydro Power, LLC, Eagle Creek Water 
Resources, LLC, and Eagle Creek Land Resources, LLC (co-licensees 
collectively referred to as Eagle Creek) jointly filed an application 
for a new license for each of the ``Mongaup River Projects'' consisting 
of the Swinging Bridge Hydroelectric Project (P-10482), Mongaup Falls 
Hydroelectric Project (P-10481), and the Rio Hydroelectric Project (P-
9690). Eagle Creek filed with the New York Department of Environmental 
Conservation (New York DEC) a request for water quality certification 
for the Mongaup River Projects under section 401(a)(1) of the Clean 
Water Act on March 30, 2021. On March 24, 2022, the New York DEC denied 
certification for the project. Eagle Creek filed a copy of New York 
DEC's denial of certification on November 14, 2022. Pursuant to 40 CFR 
121.8, we are providing notice that New York DEC's denial satisfies the 
requirements of 40 CFR 121.7(e).
