(2) Information Collection Request
Titled: Data Collection for the U.S.
Energy Employment Report;
(3) Type of Review: Reinstatement;
(4) Purpose: The rapidly changing
nature of energy production,
distribution, and consumption
throughout the U.S. economy is having
a dramatic impact on job creation and
economic competitiveness, but is
inadequately understood and, in some
sectors, incompletely measured by
traditional labor market sources. The
U.S. Energy and Employment Report
Survey will collect data from businesses
in in-scope industries, quantifying and
qualifying employment among energy
activities, workforce demographics and
the industry’s perception on the
difficulty of recruiting qualified
workers. The data will be used to
generate an annual U.S. Energy and
Employment Report;
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: 30,000;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: 30,000;
(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 6,750;
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $0.

The Chittenden Falls Hydroelectric
Project is located on Kinderhook Creek,
near the Town of Stockport, Columbia
County, New York.
The license for Project No. 3273 was

license term, to issue from year-to-year
an annual license to the then licensee(s)
under the terms and conditions of the
prior license until a new license is
issued, or the project is otherwise
disposed of as provided in section 15 or
any other applicable section of the FPA.
If the project’s prior license waived the
applicability of section 15 of the FPA,
then, based on section 9(b) of the
Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C.
558(c), and as set forth at 18 CFR
16.21(a), if the licensee of such project
has filed an application for a subsequent
license, the licensee may continue to
operate the project in accordance with
the terms and conditions of the license
after the minor or minor part license
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. 3273
is issued to Chittenden Falls
Hydropower, Inc, for a period effective
June 1, 2021 through May 31, 2022 or
until the issuance of a new license for
the project or other disposition under
the FPA, whichever comes first. If
issuance of a new license (or other
disposition) does not take place on or
before May 31, 2022, notice is hereby
given that, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.18(c),
an annual license under section 15(a)(1)
of the FPA is renewed automatically
without further order or notice by the
Commission, unless the Commission
orders otherwise.
If the project is not subject to section
15 of the FPA, notice is hereby given
that Chittenden Falls Hydropower, Inc.
is authorized to continue operation of
the Chittenden Falls Hydroelectric
Project, until such time as the
Commission acts on its application for
a subsequent license.
