DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 5089-000]

Fall River Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc.; Notice of
Authorization for Continued Project Operation

    The license for the Felt Hydroelectric Project No. 5089 was issued
for a period ending August 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. 5089 is issued to
Fall River Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc., for a period effective
September 1, 2023, through August 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 August 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 Fall River Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc., is
authorized to continue operation of the Felt 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: September 21, 2023.
