[Project No. 10615-000]


Tower Kleber Limited Partnership; Notice of Authorization for 
Continued Project Operation

    The license for the Tower and Kleber Hydroelectric Project No. 
10615 was issued for a period ending April 30, 2024.
    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. 10615 is issued to 
Tower Kleber Limited Partnership for a period effective May 1, 2024, 
through April 30, 2025, 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 April 30, 2025, 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 Tower Kleber Limited Partnership is authorized to 
continue operation of the Tower and Kleber 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: May 9, 2024.
Debbie-Anne A. Reese,
Acting Secretary.
