DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
[Project No. 1999-000]
Wisconsin Public Service Corp.; Notice of Authorization for
Continued Project Operation
July 11, 1995.
On June 24, 1993, Wisconsin Public Service Corporation, licensee
for the Wausau Project No. 1999, filed an application for a new or
subsequent license pursuant to the Federal Power Act (FPA) and the
Commission's regulations thereunder. Project No. 1999 is located on the
Wisconsin River in Marathon County within the City of Wausau,
Wisconsin.
The license for Project No. 1999 was issued for a period ending
June 30, 1995. 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. 1999 is issued to
Wisconsin Public Service Corporation for a period effective July 1,
1995, through June 30, 1996, 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, 1996, 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 Wisconsin Public Service Corporation is authorized to
continue operation of the Wausau Project No. 1999 until such time as
the Commission acts on its application for subsequent license.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
