DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 15000-000]
Erie Boulevard Hydropower, L.P.; Notice of Authorization for Continued Project
Operation
The license for the Franklin Falls Hydroelectric Project No. 15000 was issued for
a period ending June 30, 2024.
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. 15000 is issued to Erie Boulevard Hydropower, L.P. for a

period effective July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, 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 June 30, 2025, 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
Erie Boulevard Hydropower, L.P. is authorized to continue operation of the Franklin
Falls Hydroelectric Project under the terms and conditions of the prior license until the
issuance of a subsequent license for the project or other disposition under the FPA,
whichever comes first.
Dated: July 11, 2024.
Debbie-Anne A. Reese,
Acting Secretary.
