Tallassee Shoals, LLC; Notice of Waiver of Water Quality 
Certification

    On September 15, 2021, Tallassee Shoals, LLC. filed an application 
for a new license for the Tallassee Shoals Hydroelectric Project 
(project) in the above captioned docket. On August 12, 2022, Tallassee 
Shoals, LLC. filed with the Georgia Environmental Protection Division, 
a request for water quality certification for the project under section 
401(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act.
    On September 2, 2022, staff provided the certifying authority with 
written notice pursuant to 40 CFR 121.6(b) that the applicable 
reasonable period of time for the state to act on the certification 
request was one (1) year from the date of receipt of the request, and 
that the certification requirement for the license would be waived if 
the certifying authority failed to act by August 12, 2023. Because the 
state did not act by August 12, 2023, we are notifying you pursuant to 
40 CFR 121.9(c), and section 401(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act, 33 
U.S.C. 1341(a)(1), that waiver of the certification requirement has 
occurred.

    Dated: August 31, 2023.

Secretary.
