Description of Proceeding: The licensee is in violation of Article 16 of its license, which was granted September 29, 1982 (20 FERC ¶ 62,586). Article 16 states in part: If the Licensee shall abandon or discontinue good faith operation of the project or refuse or neglect to comply with the terms of the license and the lawful orders of the Commission, the Commission will deem it to be the intent of the Licensee to surrender the license. Commission records show that the project has not been operational since January 2001 and the licensee (Inman Mills) has failed to retain sufficient rights to operate the project. Inman Mills transferred the property rights to another party without securing an effective transfer approval from the Commission, which is a continuing violation of standard article 5 of the license. The current project license expired on August 31, 2012, and the project remains authorized under an annual license. Inman Mills failed to file a notice of intent to seek a subsequent license, which the Commission deemed as notice that Inman Mills does not intend to file an application for subsequent license. Then on August 31, 2010, Lockhart Power Company, Inc., filed a license application for the project; however, the application was withdrawn on October 1, 2014. On November 26, 2014, staff sent the licensee a letter pursuant to the Commission’s regulations at 18 CFR 16.26(b), requiring the licensee to file a schedule for the filing of a surrender application for the project license for Commission approval within 90 days from the date of the letter. The letter required that any application must be filed in accordance with 18 CFR 16.8 and Part 6 of the Commission’s regulations. The letter stated that if no response is filed, the Commission will take action to terminate license by implied surrender. On February 3, 2015, PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 20215 the licensee filed a response but failed to file a surrender application in accordance with18 CFR 16.8 and Part 6 of the Commission’s regulations. l.

failed to file a surrender application in accordance with18 CFR 16.8 
and Part 6 of the Commission's regulations.
