Public Participation
There are three ways to become
involved in the Commission’s review of
this project: you can file a protest to the
project, you can file a motion to
intervene in the proceeding, and you
can file comments on the project. There
is no fee or cost for filing protests,
motions to intervene, or comments. The
deadline for filing protests, motions to
intervene, and comments is 5:00 p.m.
Eastern Time on June 20, 2023. How to
file protests, motions to intervene, and
comments is explained below.
Protests
Pursuant to section 157.205 of the
Commission’s regulations under the
NGA,2 any person 3 or the Commission’s
staff may file a protest to the request. If
no protest is filed within the time
allowed or if a protest is filed and then
withdrawn within 30 days after the
allowed time for filing a protest, the
proposed activity shall be deemed to be
authorized effective the day after the
time allowed for protest. If a protest is
filed and not withdrawn within 30 days
after the time allowed for filing a
protest, the instant request for
authorization will be considered by the
Commission.
Protests must comply with the
requirements specified in section
157.205(e) of the Commission’s
regulations,4 and must be submitted by
the protest deadline, which is June 20,
2023. A protest may also serve as a
motion to intervene so long as the
protestor states it also seeks to be an
intervenor.
Interventions
Any person has the option to file a
motion to intervene in this proceeding.
Only intervenors have the right to
request rehearing of Commission orders
issued in this proceeding and to
subsequently challenge the
Commission’s orders in the U.S. Circuit
Courts of Appeal.
To intervene, you must submit a
motion to intervene to the Commission
in accordance with Rule 214 of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure 5 and the regulations under

the NGA 6 by the intervention deadline
for the project, which is June 20, 2023.
As described further in Rule 214, your
motion to intervene must state, to the
extent known, your position regarding
the proceeding, as well as your interest
in the proceeding. For an individual,
this could include your status as a
landowner, ratepayer, resident of an
impacted community, or recreationist.
You do not need to have property
directly impacted by the project in order
to intervene. For more information
about motions to intervene, refer to the
FERC website at https://www.ferc.gov/
how-guides.
All timely, unopposed motions to
intervene are automatically granted by
operation of Rule 214(c)(1). Motions to
intervene that are filed after the
intervention deadline are untimely and
may be denied. Any late-filed motion to
intervene must show good cause for
being late and must explain why the
time limitation should be waived and
provide justification by reference to
factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the
Commission’s Rules and Regulations. A
person obtaining party status will be
placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and
will receive copies (paper or electronic)
of all documents filed by the applicant
and by all other parties.
Comments
Any person wishing to comment on
the project may do so. The Commission
considers all comments received about
the project in determining the
appropriate action to be taken. To
ensure that your comments are timely
and properly recorded, please submit
your comments on or before June 20,
2023. The filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the
proceeding. To become a party, you
must intervene in the proceeding.
How To File Protests, Interventions,
and Comments
There are two ways to submit
protests, motions to intervene, and
comments. In both instances, please
reference the Project docket number
CP23–161–000 in your submission.

to intervene, and comments by using the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–510, Application for
Surrender of a Hydropower License.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0068.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–510 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting and recordkeeping
requirements.
Abstract: The purpose of FERC–510 is
to implement information collections
pursuant to sections 4(e), 6, and 13 of
the Federal Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C.
797(e), 799 and 806). Section 4(e) gives
the Commission authority to issue
licenses for the purposes of
constructing, operating and maintaining
dams, water conduits, reservoirs,
powerhouses, transmission lines or
other power project works necessary or
convenient for developing and
improving navigation, transmission and
utilization of power using bodies of
water over which Congress has
jurisdiction. Section 6 gives the
Commission the authority to prescribe
the conditions of licenses including the
revocation or surrender of the license.
Section 13 defines the Commission’s
authority to delegate time periods for
when a license must be terminated if
project construction has not begun.
Surrender of a license may be desired by
a licensee when a licensed project is
retired or not constructed or natural
catastrophes have damaged or destroyed
the project facilities.
FERC–510 is the application for the
surrender of a hydropower license.1 The
information is used by Commission staff
to determine the broad impact of such
surrender. The Commission will issue a
notice soliciting comments from the
public and other agencies and conduct
a review of the application before
issuing an order for Surrender of a
License. The order is the result of an
analysis of the information produced
(i.e., dam safety, public safety, and
environmental concerns, etc.), which is
examined to determine whether any
conditions must be satisfied before
granting the surrender. The order
implements the existing regulations and
is inclusive for surrender of all types of
hydropower licenses issued by FERC
and its predecessor, the Federal Power
Commission.
Type of Respondent: Private or
Municipal Hydropower Licensees.

All timely, unopposed motions to intervene are automatically
granted by operation of Rule 214(c)(1). Motions to intervene that are
filed after the intervention deadline are untimely and may be denied.
Any late-filed motion to intervene must show good cause for being late
and must explain why the time limitation should be waived and provide
justification by reference to factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the
Commission's Rules and Regulations. A person obtaining party status
will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies (paper or electronic) of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties.
Comments
Any person wishing to comment on the project may do so. The
Commission considers all comments received about the project in
determining the appropriate action to be taken. To ensure that your
comments are timely and properly recorded, please submit your comments
on or before June 20, 2023. The filing of a comment alone will not
serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. To become a party,
you must intervene in the proceeding.
