Light), the existing licensee for the Lower Mousam Project No. 5362, 
filed notice of its intent to not file an application for a subsequent 
license. Therefore, pursuant to section 16.24(b)(1) of the Commission's 
regulations, Kennebunk Light may not file an application for a 
subsequent license for the project, either individually or in 
conjunction with an entity or entities that are not currently licensees 
of the project.
    The 600-kilowatt (kW) Lower Mousam Project is located on the Mousam 
River, in York County, Maine. No federal lands are affected. The 
existing minor license for the project expires on March 31, 2022.
    The project consists of the following three developments:

Dane Perkins Development

    The Dane Perkins Development consists of: (1) a 12-foot-high, 83-
foot-long concrete gravity dam with a 50-foot-long spillway section 
that has a crest elevation of 81.8 feet mean sea level (msl) and 2.5-

facilities.

Twine Mill Development

    The Twine Mill Development is located approximately 0.5 miles 
downstream from the Dane Perkins Development and consists of: (1) an 
18-foot-high, 223-foot-long concrete gravity dam with an 81-foot-long 
spillway section that has a crest elevation of 68.8 feet msl and 3.0-
foot-high flashboards; (2) a 12-acre impoundment with a normal maximum 
elevation of 71.8 feet msl; (3) a powerhouse containing a single 
turbine-generator unit rated at 300 kW; (4) a generator lead connecting 
the turbine-generator unit to the regional grid; and (5) appurtenant 
facilities.

Kesslen Development

    The Kesslen Development is located approximately 2.5 miles 
downstream from the Twine Mill Development and consists of: (1) an 18-
foot-high, 140-foot-long concrete gravity dam with a 114-foot-long 
spillway section that has a crest elevation of 42.2 feet msl and 1.5-
foot-high flashboards; (2) a 20-acre impoundment with a normal maximum

    Any party interested in filing a license application (i.e., 
potential applicant) for the Lower Mousam Project No. 5362 must file a 
Notice of Intent (NOI) \3\ and pre-application document (PAD).\4\

    Applications for a subsequent license from potential applicants, 
other than the existing licensee, must be filed with the Commission at 
least 24 months prior to the expiration of the existing license.\6\
