for a project, subsequently does not file
a license application, the Commission
must solicit applications from potential
applicants other than the existing
licensee.5 Any party interested in filing
a license application or exemption (i.e.,
a potential applicant) for the project
must file an NOI and pre-application
document within 90 days from the date

PB Energy, Inc.; Soliciting Notices of
Intent To File a License Application
and Pre-Application Documents
The current license for PB Energy,
Inc.’s (PB Energy) Dry Spruce Bay
Project No. 1432 was issued on June 11,
1990, for a term of 30 years, ending June
1, 2020.1 The 75-kilowatt (kW) project is
located on an unnamed creek near Port
Bailey in the Kodiak Island Borough of
Alaska. The project occupies 44 acres of
land administered by the Bureau of
Land Management.
The principal project works consist
of: (1) A 920-foot-long, 50-foot-wide
ditch diverting water from an unnamed
stream to an upper pond; (2) a 12.59acre upper pond created by a 200-footlong, 50-foot-wide, 5-foot-high earthen
dam with a spillway and a 200-footlong
overflow ditch; (3) a short metal flume
and a 275-foot-long, 12-inch-diameter
wood stave pipe conveying water from
the upper pond to the lower pond; (4)
a 1000-foot-long, 50-foot-wide ditch
diverting water from an unnamed
stream to the lower pond; (5) a 2.2-acre
lower pond created by a 200-foot-long,
50-foot-wide, 5-foot-high earthen dam;
(6) a 6,772- foot-long PVC and steel
penstock conveying water from the
lower pond to the powerhouse; (7) a
steel powerhouse with a 75-kilowatt
Pelton turbine; (8) a short transmission
line; and (9) appurtenant facilities.
At least 24 months before the
expiration of a license for a minor water
power project in which sections 14 and
15 of the Federal Power Act were
waived, the Commission’s regulations
require the licensee to file with the
Commission an application for a
subsequent license.2 Accordingly, the
licensee was required to file a
subsequent license application by June
1, 2018. On May 30, 2018, PB Energy
filed an application for a subsequent
license for the Dry Spruce Bay Project.
However, on May, 1, 2019, Commission
staff rejected PB Energy’s license
application for failing to cure
deficiencies and respond to additional
information requests.
If the Commission rejects or dismisses
a subsequent license application, the
licensee may not refile the application
after the deadline to file (i.e., June 1,
2018).3 Because the only timely-filed
license application has been dismissed,
the Commission is soliciting
applications from other potential
applicants for the project.
Any party interested in filing a license
application for the Dry Spruce Bay
Project No. 1432 must first file a notice
of intent (NOI) 4 and pre-application
document (PAD) 5 pursuant to Part 5 of
the Commission’s regulations. Although
the integrated licensing process (ILP) is
the default pre-filing process, section
5.3(b) of the Commission’s regulations
allows a potential license applicant to
request to use the traditional licensing
process or alternative procedures when
it files its NOI.6
