The license application was untimely filed and is hereby rejected.1 The project is located on the Housatonic River in Fairfield and New Haven Counties, Connecticut. The project consists of: (a) a 23.7-foot-high, 675-foot-long dam made of concrete capped cut stone with flashboards of varying heights, ranging from 1.8-foothigh to 2.2-foot-high, and a crest elevation of 25.2 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1988 (NGVD 88); (b) 1 Eveready Machinery Company, Inc. was issued a major license for the project on March 25, 1986, for a term of 40 years, effective the first day of the month in which the order was issued. See Eveready Machinery Company, Inc., 34 FERC ¶ 62,578 (1986). Therefore, the license would expire on February 28, 2026, and the statutory deadline for filing a new license application was February 29, 2024. See FPA § 15(c)(1), 16 U.S.C. 808(c)(1).

As a result of the rejection of McCallum and Shelton’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 February 29, 2024, 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 McCallum and Shelton completed the consultation requirements pursuant to Part 4 of the Commission’s regulations, we are waiving the consultation requirements in section 16.8 for the existing licensees. Consequently, McCallum and Shelton 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 licensees are required to make available certain information described in section 16.7 of the regulations.

[Project No. 6066-041]


McCallum Enterprises I, Limited Partnership and Shelton Canal 
Company; Notice Rejecting Application, Waiving Regulations, and 
Soliciting Applications

    On March 1, 2024, McCallum Enterprises I, Limited Partnership and 
Shelton Canal Company (McCallum and Shelton), co-licensees for the 
Derby Dam Hydroelectric Project No. 6066 (project), filed an 
application for a new license for the project pursuant to section 
15(c)(1) of the Federal Power Act (FPA). The license application was 
untimely filed and is hereby rejected.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Eveready Machinery Company, Inc. was issued a major license 
for the project on March 25, 1986, for a term of 40 years, effective 
the first day of the month in which the order was issued. See 
Eveready Machinery Company, Inc., 34 FERC ] 62,578 (1986). 
Therefore, the license would expire on February 28, 2026, and the 
statutory deadline for filing a new license application was February 
29, 2024. See FPA Sec.  15(c)(1), 16 U.S.C. 808(c)(1). The 
Commission received the application via the internet at 12:09 a.m. 
Eastern Time on March 1, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The project is located on the Housatonic River in Fairfield and New 
Haven Counties, Connecticut. The project consists of: (a) a 23.7-foot-
high, 675-foot-long dam made of concrete capped cut stone with 
flashboards of varying heights, ranging from 1.8-foot-high to 2.2-foot-
high, and a crest elevation of 25.2 feet National Geodetic Vertical 
Datum of 1988 (NGVD 88); (b) a 400-foot-long earth dike with a maximum 
height of 10 feet, located at the east abutment and oriented in a 
northwest-southwest direction; (c) a reservoir (Lake Housatonic) with a 
normal maximum water surface elevation of 25.2 feet NGVD 88 and a 
usable storage capacity of 500 acre-feet; (d) a gatehouse (Derby 
gatehouse) and 2,135 foot-long, 40-foot-wide canal paralleling the east 
bank of the river; (e) a gatehouse (Shelton gatehouse) and 130-foot-
long, 94-foot-wide headrace channel extending downstream from the dam; 
(f) a navigation lock located at the west abutment, which constitutes 
the first 70 feet of the Shelton canal; (g) a powerhouse (Shelton 
powerhouse) at the west abutment, in the existing Shelton canal and 
lock structure, and located approximately 130 feet downstream of the 
Shelton gatehouse, containing two horizontal A-C tube Kaplan turbines 
with two direct drive generators with a total rated capacity of 7.8 
megawatts and a rated flow of 4,600 cubic feet per second; (h) a 775-
foot-long, 13.8 kilovolt underwater transmission line tying into the 
existing United Illuminating Company system; and (i) appurtenant 
facilities.
    As a result of the rejection of McCallum and Shelton'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 February 29, 2024, 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 McCallum and Shelton completed the 
consultation requirements pursuant to Part 4 of the Commission's 
regulations, we are waiving the consultation requirements in section 
16.8 for the existing licensees. Consequently, McCallum and Shelton 
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\
