at 18 CFR 16.21(a), if the licensee of such project has filed an

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. 2149 is issued to 
the Public Utility District No. 1 of Douglas County for a period 
effective June 1, 2012 through May 31, 2013, or until the issuance of a

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 Public Utility District No. 1 of Douglas County 
is authorized to continue operation of the Wells Hydroelectric Project, 
until such time as the Commission acts on its application for a
