The project consists of: (1) The 5mile-long Columbia Ditch from its terminus to the project boundary of the Phoenix Hydroelectric Project No. 1061, licensed to Pacific Gas and Electric Company; (2) an intake structure on the Columbia Ditch; (3) an 18,700-foot-long steel penstock; (4) a powerhouse containing one generating unit with an installed capacity of 350 kW; (5) a 500foot-long tailrace returning water to the Bureau of Reclamation’s existing New Melones Reservoir; (6) a 2,600-foot-long transmission line; and (7) appurtenant facilities. At least five years 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 a notice of intent (NOI) that contains an unequivocal statement of the licensee’s intention to file or not to file an application for a subsequent license, details on the principal project works and installed plant capacity, and other information.2 1 Tuolumne 2 18 Utilities Dist., 72 FERC 62,178 (1995).

VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:36 Nov 04, 2020 Jkt 253001 If such a licensee does not inform the Commission that it intends to file an application for, in this case, a subsequent license for the project, the licensee may not file an application for a subsequent license, either individually or in conjunction with an entity or entities that are not currently licensees of the project.3 Because the existing license expires on July 31, 2025, the NOI was due to be filed no later than the close of business on July 31, 2020. Tuolumne Utilities District, the existing licensee for the Columbia Water Supply Hydroelectric Project, failed to file an NOI for the project by this date. Any party interested in filing a license application for the Columbia Water Supply Hydroelectric Project must first file an NOI 4 and a 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 alternative licensing procedures when it files its NOI.6 This notice sets a deadline of 120 days from the date of this notice for interested applicants, other than the existing licensee, to file NOIs, PADs, and requests to use the traditional licensing process or alternative procedures. Applications for a subsequent license from potential applicants must be filed with the Commission at least 24 months prior to the expiration of the existing license.7 Because the existing license expires on July 31, 2025, applications for license for this project must be filed by July 31, 2023.8 Questions concerning this notice should be directed to Shannon Boyle at (202) 502–8417 or shannon.boyle@ ferc.gov.

Type of Request: Three-year approval of the FERC–725D information collection requirements, with no changes to the reporting or recordkeeping requirements. (There are adjustments to the estimates to update the totals that represent the numbers reflected in the NERC Compliance Registry as of July 17, 2020.) Abstract: On August 8, 2005, The Electricity Modernization Act of 2005, which is Title XII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005), was enacted into law. EPAct 2005 added a new section 215 to the Federal Power Act (FPA), which requires a Commissioncertified Electric Reliability Organization (ERO) to develop mandatory and enforceable Reliability Standards, subject to Commission review and approval. Once approved, the Reliability Standards may be enforced by the ERO, subject to Commission oversight, or by the Commission independently. Section 215 of the FPA requires a Commissioncertified ERO to develop mandatory and enforceable Reliability Standards, subject to Commission review and approval. Once approved, the Reliability Standards may be enforced by the ERO subject to Commission oversight or by the Commission independently. In 2006, the Commission certified NERC (now called the North American Electric Reliability Corporation) as the ERO pursuant to section 215 of the FPA. On March 16, 2007 (pursuant to section 215(d) of the FPA), the Commission issued Order No. 693, approving 83 of the 107 initial Reliability Standards filed by NERC. In the intervening years, numerous changes have been made to update, eliminate, or establish various Reliability Standards. 1 This renewal is being submitted to extend the OMB expiration date and will not have an effect on the Docket No. RD20–4 that is being addressed separately. PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The information collected by FERC– 725D is required to implement the statutory provisions of section 215 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C. 824c). Pursuant to section 215 of the Federal Power Act (FPA),2 in Order 836,3 the commission approved the following standards, FAC–001–2 (Facility Interconnection Requirements), FAC–002–2 (Facility Interconnection Requirements) FAC–001–3 (Facility Interconnection Requirements). Reliability Standard FAC–001–2 requires each transmission owner and applicable generator owner to document facility interconnection requirements, and to make them available upon request to entities seeking to interconnect. In addition, Reliability Standard FAC–001–2 requires each transmission owner and applicable generator owner to include procedures for coordinating studies to determine the impact of interconnecting facilities on existing interconnections as well as on affected systems. Reliability Standard FAC–002–2 requires each transmission planner and each planning coordinator to study the reliability impact of interconnecting new—or materially modifying existing—generation, transmission, or electricity end-user facilities on affected systems. In particular, Reliability Standard FAC–002–2 requires transmission planners and planning coordinators to perform steady-state, short-circuit, and dynamic studies to evaluate system performance under both normal and contingency conditions. In addition, Reliability Standard FAC– 002–2 requires each generator owner seeking to interconnect, each transmission owner, each distribution provider, and each load-serving entity that is seeking to interconnect new—or materially modifying existing— transmission facilities or end-user facilities to coordinate and cooperate on studies with its transmission planner and planning coordinator. Reliability Standard FAC–001–3 (Transmission Owners) are set out to avoid adverse impacts on the reliability of the Bulk Electric System, Transmission Owners and applicable Generator Owners must document and make Facility interconnection requirements available so that entities seeking to interconnect will have the necessary information.
