The license for the Newbury
Hydroelectric Project No. 5261 was
issued for a period ending August 31,
2023.
Section 15(a)(1) of the FPA, 16 U.S.C.
808(a)(1), requires the Commission, at
the expiration of a 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. 5261
is issued to Green Mountain Power
Corporation for a period effective
September 1, 2023, through August 31,
2024, 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 August 31, 2024,
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 Green Mountain Power Corporation
is authorized to continue operation of
the Newbury Hydroelectric Project
under the terms and conditions of the

Commission
[Project No. 2853–073]
Montana Department of Natural
Resources and Conservation; Notice
of Intent To Prepare an Environmental
Assessment
On June 30, 2022, the Montana
Department of Natural Resources and
Conservation (Montana DNRC) filed an
application for a new major license for
the 9.66-megawatt Broadwater
Hydroelectric Project (Broadwater
Project; FERC No. 2853). The
Broadwater Project is located on the
Missouri River near the town of Toston
in Broadwater County, Montana. The
project includes Federal lands
administered by the Bureau of Land
Management.
In accordance with the Commission’s
regulations, on July 7, 2023,
Commission staff issued a notice that
the project was ready for environmental
analysis (REA Notice). Based on the
information in the record, including
comments filed on the REA Notice, staff
does not anticipate that licensing the
project would constitute a major Federal
action significantly affecting the quality
of the human environment. Therefore,
staff intends to prepare a draft and final
Environmental Assessment (EA) on the
application to relicense the Broadwater
Project.
The EA will be issued and circulated
for review by all interested parties. All
comments filed on the EA will be
analyzed by staff and considered in the
Commission’s final licensing decision.
The Commission’s Office of Public
Participation (OPP) supports meaningful
public engagement and participation in
Commission proceedings. OPP can help
members of the public, including
landowners, environmental justice
communities, Tribal members and
others, access publicly available
information and navigate Commission
processes. For public inquiries and
assistance with making filings such as
interventions, comments, or requests for
rehearing, the public is encouraged to
