these newly proposed measures in
advance of the Commission’s licensing
decision.
Brookfield additionally proposes
mitigation measures, including the
funding of habitat restoration projects
within the Kennebec River watershed
and Merrymeeting Bay Salmon Habitat
Recovery Unit, as discussed in the Final

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–725P1 (Mandatory
Reliability Standards: PRC–005–6
Reliability Standard).
OMB Control No.: 1902–0280.
Abstract: The Commission requires
the information collected by the FERC–
725P1 to implement the statutory
provisions of section 215 of the Federal
Power Act (FPA). On August 8, 2005,
Congress enacted into law the
Electricity Modernization Act of 2005,
which is title XII, subtitle A, of the
Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005).
EPAct 2005 added a new section 215 to
the FPA, which required a Commissioncertified Electric Reliability
Organization (ERO) to develop
mandatory and enforceable Reliability
Standards, which are subject to
Commission review and approval. Once
approved, the Reliability Standards may
be enforced by the ERO subject to
Commission oversight, or the
Commission can independently enforce
Reliability Standards.
On February 3, 2006, the Commission
issued Order No. 672, implementing
section 215 of the FPA. Pursuant to
Order No. 672, the Commission certified
one organization, North American
Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC),
as the ERO. The Reliability Standards
developed by the ERO and approved by
the Commission apply to users, owners
and operators of the Bulk-Power System
as set forth in each Reliability Standard.
On November 13, 2015, the North
American Electric Reliability
Corporation filed a petition for
Commission approval of proposed
Reliability Standard PRC–005–6
(Protection System, Automatic
Reclosing, and Sudden Pressure
Relaying Maintenance). NERC also
requested approval of the proposed
implementation plan for PRC–005–6,
and the retirement of previous versions
of Reliability Standard PRC–005.
NERC explained in its petition that
Reliability Standard PRC–005–6
represented an improvement upon the
most recently approved version of the
standard, PRC–005–4. FERC approved
the proposed Reliability Standard PRC–
005–6 on December 18, 2015.
Type of Respondent: Transmission
Owner (TO), Distribution Provider (DP),
and Generator Owners (GOs).

[Docket No. CD23–1–000]
City of Aurora, Colorado; Notice of
Preliminary Determination of a
Qualifying Conduit Hydropower
Facility and Soliciting Comments and
Motions To Intervene
On October 3, 2022, the City of
Aurora, Colorado, filed a notice of intent
to construct a qualifying conduit
hydropower facility, pursuant to section
30 of the Federal Power Act (FPA). The
proposed Gun Club Hydroelectric
Energy Recovery Project would have an
installed capacity of 56 kilowatts (kW),
and would be located along a municipal
water supply pipeline in Aurora,
Arapahoe County, Colorado.

FERC Contact: Christopher Chaney,
202–502–6778, christopher.chaney@

Qualifying Conduit Hydropower
Facility Description: The project would
consist of: (1) a 56-kW turbine
generating unit within an existing 15foot by 32-foot vault, (2) intake and
discharge pipes connecting to the
existing water supply line, and (3)
appurtenant facilities. The proposed
project would have an estimated annual
generation of approximately 255,000
kilowatt-hours.
A qualifying conduit hydropower
facility is one that is determined or
deemed to meet all the criteria shown in
the table below.
TABLE 1—CRITERIA FOR QUALIFYING CONDUIT HYDROPOWER FACILITY
Statutory provision
Description
Satisfies
(Y/N)
FPA 30(a)(3)(A) .....................
The conduit the facility uses is a tunnel, canal, pipeline, aqueduct, flume, ditch, or similar manmade water conveyance that is operated for the distribution of water for agricultural, municipal, or industrial consumption and not primarily for the generation of electricity.
The facility is constructed, operated, or maintained for the generation of electric power and
uses for such generation only the hydroelectric potential of a non-federally owned conduit.
The facility has an installed capacity that does not exceed 40 megawatts ....................................
On or before August 9, 2013, the facility is not licensed, or exempted from the licensing requirements of Part I of the FPA.

Preliminary Determination: The
proposed Gun Club Hydroelectric
Energy Recovery Project will not alter
the primary purpose of the conduit,
which is to transport water for
municipal consumption. Therefore,
based upon the above criteria,
Commission staff preliminarily
determines that the operation of the
project described above satisfies the
requirements for a qualifying conduit
hydropower facility, which is not
required to be licensed or exempted
from licensing.
Comments and Motions to Intervene:
Deadline for filing comments contesting
whether the facility meets the qualifying
criteria is 30 days from the issuance
date of this notice. Deadline for filing
motions to intervene is 30 days from the
issuance date of this notice.
1 ‘‘Burden’’ is the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate,
maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information
to or for a Federal agency. For further explanation
of what is included in the information collection
burden, refer to title 5 Code of Federal Regulations
1320.3.
2 Total number of responses have increased due
an accurate estimate in burden and due to an
increase in review and adjustment of existing
program for reclosing relays and associated
equipment.
3 Entities affected by the PRC–005–6 Reliability
Standard are registered to serve any of the following
roles: TO = Transmission Owner; GO = Generator
Owner; DP = Distribution Provider. Some entities
are registered to serve multiple roles.
4 The estimated hourly cost (salary plus benefits)
provided in this section is based on the salary
figures (https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_
22.htm) and benefits (https://www.bls.gov/
news.release/ecec.nr0.htm) for May 2021 posted by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the Utilities
sector. The hourly estimates for salary plus benefits
are $72.15/hour based on the Electrical Engineering
career (Occupation Code: 17–2071).
