Georgia Power Company; Notice of Waiver of Water Quality 
Certification

    On January 3, 2022, Georgia Power Company (Georgia Power) filed an 
application for a new license for the Lloyd Shoals Hydroelectric 
Project (project) in the above captioned docket. On June 24, 2022, 
Georgia Power filed with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, 
Environmental Protection Division (Georgia EPD), a request for water 
quality certification for the project under section 401(a)(1) of the 
Clean Water Act.
    On July 19, 2022, staff provided the certifying authority with 
written notice pursuant to 40 CFR 121.6(b) that the applicable 
reasonable period of time for the state to act on the certification 
request was one (1) year from the date of receipt of the request, and 
that the certification requirement for the license would be waived if 
the certifying authority failed to act by June 24, 2023. Because the 
state did not act by June 24, 2023, we are notifying you pursuant to 40 
CFR 121.9(c), and section 401(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 
1341(a)(1), that waiver of the certification requirement has occurred.

    Dated: August 4, 2023.

Secretary.
