DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 

Central Maine Power Co., et al.; Authorizations for Continued 
Project Operation

[Project Nos. 2329-000, et al.]
January 21, 1994.
    On the date listed in the appendix, the licensee for the project 
named in the appendix, filed an application for a new or subsequent 
license pursuant to the Federal Power Act (FPA) and the Commission's 
regulations thereunder. The location of each project is also listed in 
the appendix.
    The license for each named project was issued for a period ending 
December 31, 1993. 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 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 each of the projects listed in 
the appendix is issued to the licensee for a period effective January 
1, 1994, through December 31, 1994, 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 31, 1994, 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 the licensee is authorized to continue operation of 
the project until such time as the Commission acts on its application 
for subsequent license.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
