                                 AN ACT


 
      To authorize extension of time limitation for a FERC-issued 
                         hydroelectric license.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled, That notwithstanding 
the time limitation of section 13 of the Federal Power Act, the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, upon the request of the licensee for FERC 
Project No. 3701, is authorized, in accordance with the good faith, due 
diligence, and public interest requirements 
of section 13 and the Commission's procedures under such section, to 
extend the time required for the licensee to commence the construction 
of such project for up to a maximum of 3 consecutive 2-year periods. 
This section shall take effect for the project upon the expiration of 
the extension (issued by the Commission under section 13) of the period 
required for commencement of construction of such project. If the 
license for FERC Project 3701 should expire prior to the date of 
enactment of this Act, the Commission is authorized and directed to 
reinstate effective June 1, 1995, the license previously issued for 
such project.

            Passed the House of Representatives November 13, 1995.

            Attest:

                                                ROBIN H. CARLE,

                                                                 Clerk.
