DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 3211-000]


Power Authority of the State of New York; Notice of Authorization 
for Continued Project Operation

    The license for the Hinckley (Gregory B. Jarvis) Hydroelectric 
Project No. 3211 was issued for a period ending July 31, 2022.
    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. 3211 is issued to 
the Power Authority of the State of New York for a period effective 
August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2023, 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 July 31, 2023, 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 the Power Authority of the State of New York is 
authorized to continue operation of the Hinckley (Gregory B. Jarvis) 
Hydroelectric Project under the terms and conditions of the prior 
license until the issuance of a new license for the project or other 
disposition under the FPA, whichever comes first.

    Dated: August 18, 2022.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
