has filed an application for a subsequent license, the licensee may 
continue to operate the project in accordance with the terms and

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. 2727 is issued to 
the licensee for a period effective January 1, 2018 through December 
31, 2018 or until the issuance of a new license for the project or
