The license application was untimely filed and is hereby rejected.1 The project is located on the Mississippi River approximately 75 miles northwest of St. Paul, Minnesota in the City of St. Cloud, Stearns and Sherburne Counties, Minnesota. The project consists of: (1) an approximately 3.5-mile-long, 294-surface-acre reservoir with a storage capacity of 2,254 acre-feet at a normal pool elevation of 981.0 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929; (2) a 420-foot-long earthen embankment that abuts the east side of 1 The City of St. Cloud was issued a major license for the project on December 5, 1984, for a term of 40 years, effective the first day of the month in which the order was issued. See 29 FERC ¶ 62,233 (1984). Therefore, the license would expire on November 30, 2024, and the statutory deadline for filing a new license application was November 30, 2022. See FPA § 15(c)(1), 16 U.S.C. 808(c)(1). The Commission received the application via the internet at 6:42 p.m. Eastern Time, which is after regular business hours (i.e., after 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time), on November 30, 2022; therefore, the application is considered filed on the next regular business day, December 1, 2022.

As a result of the rejection of the City of St. Cloud’s application and pursuant to section 16.25 of the Commission’s regulations, the Commission is soliciting license applications from potential applicants. This solicitation is necessary because the deadline for filing an application for a new license and any competing license applications, pursuant to section 16.9 of the Commission’s regulations, was November 30, 2022, and no other license applications for this project were filed. With this notice, we are waiving those parts of section 16.24(a) and 16.25(a) which bar an existing licensee that missed the two-year application filing deadline from filing another application. Further, because the City of St. Cloud completed the consultation requirements pursuant to Part 5 of the Integrated Licensing Process, we are waiving the consultation requirements in section 16.8 for the existing licensee. Consequently, the City of St. Cloud will be allowed to refile a license application and compete for the license and the incumbent preference established by the FPA section 15(a)(2) will apply.2 The licensee is required to make available certain information described in section 16.7 of the regulations. For more information from the licensee, please contact Ms. Tracy Hodel, Public Services Director, City of St. Cloud, 1201 7th Street South, St. Cloud, Minnesota 56301, (320) 255–7226.
