Section 6 of the Federal Power Act ( 16 U.S.C. 799 ) is amended— by striking the section designation and all that follows through Licenses under in the first sentence and inserting the following: Licenses under ; and by adding at the end the following: Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this subsection, the Commission, after providing for public notice and comment, shall promulgate regulations establishing procedures for license surrender proceedings initiated by a licensee. The regulations promulgated under paragraph
(1)shall include— a requirement for a licensee seeking a license surrender to prepare an initial public report that describes and analyzes— the surrender proposal; any alternatives considered for the disposition of project works; any impacts of the proposed license surrender on— grid reliability; any increase in the price of energy, power, and essential grid services to consumers of power; and the ability to integrate intermittent generating resources; and any benefits of the proposed license surrender to— surrounding communities; and the natural environment; opportunities for the public— to comment on— the initial public report; and the surrender application; to propose other alternatives for the disposition of project works for consideration by the Commission and licensee; and to otherwise participate in the surrender proceeding; requirements for the licensee to consult with applicable Federal and State resource agencies, Indian Tribes, and interested members of the public before filing the surrender application with the Commission; procedures to develop a schedule for each surrender proceeding; and procedures to expedite the surrender proceeding for a license that does not— present complex resource issues; involve significant controversy or public opposition; or require other major regulatory approvals. . Nothing in this section (including an amendment made by this section) affects the continued operation of any federally owned dam, including the Federal dams on the Lower Snake River operated by the Corps of Engineers. No action carried out under section 6 of the Federal Power Act ( 16 U.S.C. 799 ) establishes a precedent for an action relating to a dam referred to in paragraph (1).
