William B. Ruger, Jr.; Notice of Existing Licensee's Failure To 
File Notice of Intent To File a Subsequent License Application

    By April 30, 2016, William B. Ruger, Jr., the existing licensee for 
the Sugar River II Project No. 10934 was required to file a notice of 
intent to file an application for a subsequent license. The existing 
license for Project No. 10934 expires on April 30, 2021.
    The 200-kilowatt (kW) project is located on the Sugar River in 
Sullivan County, New Hampshire. No federal lands are affected.
    The principal project works consist of: (1) A 44-foot-long, 10-
foot-high concrete dam; (2) a 1.4-acre impoundment; (3) a rectangular 
intake; (4) a 650-foot-long, 7-foot diameter steel penstock; (5) a 
powerhouse containing one 200-kW turbine-generator unit; (6) a 75-foot-
long transmission line; and (7) appurtenant facilities.
    Pursuant to section 16.19(b) of the Commission's regulations, an 
existing licensee with a minor license or a license for a minor part of 
a hydroelectric project must file a notice of intent pursuant to 
section 16.6(b).
    Pursuant to section 16.6(b) of the Commission's regulations, in 
order to notify the Commission whether or not a licensee intends to 
file an application for new license, the licensee must file with the 
Commission a letter that contains an unequivocal statement of the 
licensee's intention to file or not to file an application for a new 
license.
    William B. Ruger, Jr. has not filed a notice of intent to file an 
application for a subsequent license for this project.
    Pursuant to section 16.23(b) of the Commission's regulations, an 
existing licensee of a water power project that fails to file a notice 
of intent pursuant to section 16.6(b) shall be deemed to have filed a 
notice of intent indicating that it does not intend to file an 
application for subsequent license.
    Pursuant to section 16.20 of the Commission's regulations, 
applications for subsequent license (except from the existing licensee 
which is prohibited from filing) must be filed with the Commission at 
least 24 months prior to the expiration of the existing license. 
Applications for license for this project must be filed by April 30, 
2019. Questions concerning this notice should be directed to Steve 
Kartalia at (202) 502-6131 or Stephen.Kartalia@ferc.gov.

    Dated: May 9, 2016.

 Secretary.
