[Project No. 472]


PacifiCorp; Notice of Authorization for Continued Project 
Operation

October 29, 2001.
    On September 27, 1999, PacifiCorp, licensee for the Oneida Project 
No. 472, filed an application for a new or subsequent license pursuant 
to the Federal Power Act (FPA) and the Commission's regulations 
thereunder. Project No. 472 is located on the Bear River in Franklin 
County, Idaho.
    The license for Project No. 472 was issued for a period ending 
October 1, 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 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,

[[Page 55652]]

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 Project No. 472 is issued to 
PacifiCorp for a period effective October 2, 2001, through October 1, 
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 October 
2, 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 PacifiCorp is authorized to continue operation of the 
Oneida Project No. 472 until such time as the Commission acts on its 
application for subsequent license.

David P. Boergers,
 Secretary.
