[Project No. 4914]


International Paper Company; Notice of Authorization for

December 8, 2004.
    On November 20, 2002, International Paper Company, licensee for the 
De Pere Project No. 4914, filed an application for a new or subsequent 
license pursuant to the Federal Power Act (FPA) and the Commission's 
regulations. Project No. 4914 is located on the Fox River in Brown 
County, Wisconsin.
    The license for Project No. 4914 was issued for a period ending 
November 30, 2004. Section 15(a)(1) of the FPA, 16 U.S.C. 808(a)(1),

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 Project No. 4914 is issued to 
International Paper Company for a period effective December 1, 2004 
through November 30, 2005, 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 1, 2005, 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 International Paper Company is authorized to continue 
operation of the De Pere Project No. 4914 until such time as the 
Commission acts on its application for subsequent license.

Secretary.
