[Docket Nos. RM19–6–000; AD19–7–000;

Hydroelectric Licensing Regulations
Under America’s Water Infrastructure
Act of 2018; Notice Establishing
Schedule Pursuant to America’s Water
Infrastructure Act of 2018
On October 23, 2018, the President
signed America’s Water Infrastructure
Act of 2018 (Act) into law. In addition
to amending part 1 of the Federal Power
Act as it relates to certain aspects of
preliminary permits, qualifying conduit
hydropower facilities, and hydropower
licenses, the Act directs the Federal
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) to:
(1) Issue a rule not later than 180 days
after the date of enactment of the Act,
establishing an expedited process for
issuing and amending licenses for
qualifying facilities at existing
nonpowered dams that will seek to
ensure a final decision by the
Commission on an application for a
license no later than two years after
receipt of a completed application;
(2) With the Secretary of the Army,
the Secretary of the Interior, and the
Secretary of Agriculture, jointly develop
a list of existing nonpowered Federal
dams that the Commission and the
Secretaries agree have the greatest
potential for non-Federal hydropower
development, and make the list
available to the public and provide the
list to certain Committees of the House
58243
of Representatives and the Senate not
later than 12 months after the date of
enactment of the Act;
(3) Issue a rule not later than 180 days
after the date of enactment of the Act,
establishing an expedited process for
issuing and amending licenses for
closed-loop pumped storage projects
that will seek to ensure a final decision
by the Commission on an application
for a license by no later than two years
after receipt of a completed application;
and
(4) Hold a workshop not later than six
months after the date of enactment of
the Act to explore potential
opportunities for development of
closed-loop pumped storage projects at
abandoned mine sites, and issue
guidance no later than one year after the
date of enactment of the Act to assist
applicants for licenses or preliminary
permits for closed-loop pumped storage
projects at abandoned mine sites.
In establishing the expedited
processes for issuing and amending
licenses for qualifying facilities at
existing nonpowered dams and closedloop pumped storage projects, sections
3003 and 3004 of the Act require the
Commission to convene an interagency
task force (ITF), with appropriate federal
and state agencies and Indian tribes
represented, to coordinate the regulatory
processes associated with the
authorizations required to construct and
operate these projects. By concurrent
notice, the Commission has invited
federal and state agencies and Indian
tribes to request participation on the ITF
by filing a statement of interest with the
Commission by November 29, 2018.
The Commission has established three
dockets in order to implement the
requirements of the Act: RM19–6–000
(Licensing Regulations under America’s
Water Infrastructure Act of 2018);
AD19–7–000 (Nonpowered Dams List);
and AD19–8–000 (Closed-loop Pumped
Storage Projects at Abandoned Mines
Guidance).
Because the Act requires the
Commission to issue a rule establishing
the expedited licensing processes not
later than 180 days after the date of
enactment of the Act, the Commission
has established a schedule with
abbreviated deadlines. The schedule,
which is subject to change, is included
below.
Deadline for federal and state agencies and Indian tribes to file a statement requesting participation on the
ITF.
Commission staff will hold coordination session for the ITF to discuss proposals for the expedited licensing
processes.
Commission staff will issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) for the expedited licensing processes.
