[Project No. 2897]


S. D. Warren Company; Notice of Authorization for Continued 
Project Operation

February 28, 2001.
    On January 22, 1999, S. D. Warren Company, licensee for the 
Saccarappa Project No. 2897, filed an application for a new or 
subsequent license pursuant to the Federal Power Act (FPA) and the 
Commission's regulations thereunder. Project No. 2897 is located on the 
Presumpscot River in Cumberland County, Maine.
    The license for Project No. 2897 was issued for a period ending 
January 26, 2001. 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 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 mirror 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. 2897 is issued to 
S. D. Warren Company for a period effective January 27, 2001, through 
January 26, 2002, 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 January 27, 2002, 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 S. D. Warren Company is authorized to continue 
operation of the Saccarappa Project No. 2897 until such time as the 
Commission acts on its application for subsequent license.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
