DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2561-000]


Sho-Me Power Electric Cooperative; Notice of Authorization for 
Continued Project Operation

    The license for the Niangua Hydroelectric Project No. 2561 was 
issued for a period ending June 1, 2024.
    Section 15(a)(1) of the Federal Power Act (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. 2561 is issued to 
Sho-Me Power Electric Cooperative for a period effective June 2, 2024, 
through June 1, 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 June 1, 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 Sho-Me Power Electric Cooperative is authorized to 
continue operation of the Niangua 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: August 7, 2024.
Debbie-Anne A. Reese,
Acting Secretary.
