BILLING CODE 6450-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Project No. 2597] Northeast Generation Company (Proposed To Be Combined With Project No. 2576); Notice of Authorization for Continued Project Operation January 24, 2003. On August 31, 1999, The Connecticut Light and Power Company, licensee for the Falls Village Project No. 2597, filed an application for a new or subsequent license pursuant to the Federal Power Act
(FPA)and the Commission's regulations thereunder. Project No. 2597 is located on the Housatonic River in Litchfield County, Connecticut. The application proposes to combine Project No. 2597 with the licensed Housatonic Project No. 2576. The application further requests that the Commission issue a single new license for both projects to be called the Housatonic River Project No. 2576. On November 17, 1999, the Commission issued an order transferring the licenses for Project Nos. 2597 and 2576 to Northeast Generation Company. The license for Project No. 2597 was issued for a period ending August 31, 2001. 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 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. 2597 has been issued to Northeast Generation Company for a period effective September 1, 2001, through August 31, 2002. This license was effective until the issuance of a new license for the project or other disposition under the FPA. Because issuance of a new license (or other disposition) did not take place on or before September 1, 2002, 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 Northeast Generation Company is authorized to continue operation of the Falls Village Project No. 2597 until such time as the Commission acts on its application for subsequent license. Magalie R. Salas, Secretary. [FR Doc. 03-2235 Filed 1-29-03; 8:45 am]
