DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2391-000]


PE Hydro Generation, LLC; Notice of Authorization for Continued 
Project Operation

    The license for the Warren Hydroelectric Project No. 2391 was 
issued for a period ending December 31, 2023.
    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(s) 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. 2391 is issued to 
PE Hydro Generation, LLC for a period effective January 1, 2024, 
through December 31, 2024, 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 31, 2024, 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 PE Hydro Generation, LLC is authorized to continue 
operation of the Warren Hydroelectric Project under the terms and 
conditions of the prior license until the issuance of a subsequent 
license for the project or other disposition under the FPA, whichever 
comes first.

    Dated: January 16, 2024.
Debbie-Anne A. Reese,
Acting Secretary.
