DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2035]


City and County of Denver, CO; Notice of Authorization for 
Continued Project Operation

May 9, 2000.
    On April 29, 1998, the City and County of Denver, Colorado, 
licensee for the Gross Reservoir Project No. 2035, filed an application 
for a new or subsequent license pursuant to the Federal Power Act (FPA) 
and the Commission's regulations thereunder. Project No. 2035 is 
located on South Boulder Creek in Boulder County, Colorado.
    The license for Project No. 2035 was issued for a period ending 
April 30, 2000. 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 of any other applicable section of the FPA. If the project's prior 
license waived the applicability of section 15 of the FPA, then, base 
don 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. 2035 is issued to 
the City and County of Denver, Colorado for a period effective May 1, 
2000, through April 30, 2001, 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 April 30, 2001, 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 City and County of Denver, Colorado is authorized 
to continue operation of the Gross Reservoir Project No. 2035 until 
such time as the Commission acts on its application for subsequent 
license.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
