Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc.;
Notice Dismissing Request for
Rehearing
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
On October 27, 2023, Dominion
Energy South Carolina, Inc. (Dominion
Energy), filed a final license application
to relicense its Stevens Creek
Hydroelectric Project No. 2535. On
November 8, 2023, Commission staff
issued a notice of application and
solicited additional study requests. On
December 11, 2023, Augusta-Richmond
County, Georgia, filed additional study
requests with the Commission. On
November 25, 2024, Commission staff
issued a letter responding to the
additional study requests and explained
that no further studies were needed. On
December 26, 2024, Augusta-Richmond
County filed a request for rehearing of
Commission staff’s November 25, 2024
letter.
Rule 713(b) of the Commission’s
Rules of Practice and Procedure permits
requests for rehearing ‘‘of any final
decision or other final order in a
proceeding.’’ 1 An order is final, and
thus subject to rehearing, only when it
imposes an obligation, denies a right, or
fixes some legal relationship as a
consummation of the administrative
process.2 The November 24, 2024
Commission staff letter is not a final
Commission decision or order on the
final license application, which remains
pending before the Commission, nor
imposes an obligation on the license
applicant or any other party.
When the Commission, or its delegate,
issues a final order regarding Dominion
Energy’s license application, AugustaRichmond County may, at that time, file
a request for rehearing. Thus,
Commission staff’s November 25, 2024
letter is interlocutory and does not fall
within the scope of Rule 713.
Accordingly, the request for rehearing is
dismissed.3
1 18 CFR 385.713(b) (2024); see also 15 U.S.C.
717r(a) (parties ‘‘aggrieved by an order issued by the
Commission in a proceeding . . . may apply for a
rehearing within thirty days after the issuance of
such order’’).

consummation of the agency’s decision-making
process’ and is ‘one by which rights or obligations
have been determined, or from which legal
consequences will flow’ ’’) (quoting Bennett v.
Spear, 520 U.S. 154, 178 (1997)).

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2535-130]
Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc.; Notice Dismissing Request
for Rehearing
On October 27, 2023, Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. (Dominion
Energy), filed a final license application to relicense its Stevens
Creek Hydroelectric Project No. 2535. On November 8, 2023, Commission
staff issued a notice of application and solicited additional study
requests. On December 11, 2023, Augusta-Richmond County, Georgia, filed
additional study requests with the Commission. On November 25, 2024,
Commission staff issued a letter responding to the additional study
requests and explained that no further studies were needed. On December
26, 2024, Augusta-Richmond County filed a request for rehearing of
Commission staff's November 25, 2024 letter.
Rule 713(b) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure
permits requests for rehearing ``of any final decision or other final
order in a proceeding.'' \1\ An order is final, and thus subject to
rehearing, only when it imposes an obligation, denies a right, or fixes
some legal relationship as a consummation of the administrative
process.\2\ The November 24, 2024 Commission staff letter is not a
final Commission decision or order on the final license application,
which remains pending before the Commission, nor imposes an obligation
on the license applicant or any other party.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 18 CFR 385.713(b) (2024); see also 15 U.S.C. 717r(a)
(parties ``aggrieved by an order issued by the Commission in a
proceeding . . . may apply for a rehearing within thirty days after
the issuance of such order'').
\2\ Reliable Automatic Sprinkler Co. v. Consumer Prod. Safety
Comm'n, 324 F.3d 726, 731 (D.C. Cir. 2003) (holding that ``final
agency action `mark[s] the consummation of the agency's decision-
making process' and is `one by which rights or obligations have been
determined, or from which legal consequences will flow' '') (quoting
Bennett v. Spear, 520 U.S. 154, 178 (1997)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the Commission, or its delegate, issues a final order
regarding Dominion Energy's license application, Augusta-Richmond
County may, at that time, file a request for rehearing. Thus,
Commission staff's November 25, 2024 letter is interlocutory and does
not fall within the scope of Rule 713. Accordingly, the request for
rehearing is dismissed.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See, e.g., Exelon Gen Co., 131 FERC ] 61,166, at PP 15-16
(2010) (denying rehearing of a study plan determination letter, in
part, because letter was a procedural decision by Commission staff);

at P 7 & n.9 (2008) (dismissing request for rehearing of denial of
study request); Duke Power, 117 FERC ] 61,303, at PP 5-7 (2006)
(affirming dismissal as interlocutory of request for rehearing of

by the Commission of this notice must be filed within 30 days of the
