Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 18 CFR Parts 4 and 5
Docket No. RM2021000; Order No. 877

Removing Profile Drawing Requirement for Qualifying Conduit Notices of Intent and Revising Filing Requirements for Major Hydroelectric Projects 10 MW or Less Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Department of Energy.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:

FR Doc. 202116584 Filed 8421; 8:45 am
In this final rule, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Commission is amending its regulations governing the filing requirements for qualifying conduits and certain major hydroelectric power projects. Specifically, the Commission is removing the requirement that a notice of intent to construct a qualifying conduit include a profile drawing showing the source of the hydroelectric potential in instances where a dam would be constructed in association with the facility and extending the licensing requirements that currently apply to major projects up to 5
megawatts MW to major projects 10
MW or less, consistent with the amended definition of a small hydroelectric power project in the Hydropower Regulatory Efficiency Act of 2013.
DATES: This rule is effective October 4, 2021.

I. Background 1. By this final rule, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Commission or FERC is amending parts 4 and 5 of its regulations governing the filing requirements for qualifying conduits and certain major hydroelectric power projects. The Commission, under Part I of the Federal Power Act FPA, licenses hydropower projects that are developed by nonFederal entities including individuals, private entities, states, municipalities, electric cooperatives, and others.
2. The Hydropower Regulatory Efficiency Act of 2013 2013 HREA 1
was signed into law on August 9, 2013.
As explained below, changes implemented in response to the 2013
HREA form the basis for these revisions to the Commissions regulations.
II. Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 3. On February 18, 2021, the Commission issued a notice of proposed rulemaking NOPR proposing to: 1
Remove the requirement that a notice of intent to construct a qualifying conduit include a profile drawing showing the source of the hydroelectric potential in instances where a dam would be constructed in association with the facility; and 2 extend the licensing requirements that currently apply to major projects up to 5 megawatts MW
to major projects 10 MW or less, consistent with the amended definition of a small hydroelectric power project in the 2013 HREA.2 The Commission did not receive any comments in response to the NOPR. The proposal set forth in the NOPR and the Commissions determination are discussed below.
III. Discussion A. Qualifying Conduits 4. The NOPR explained that the 2013
HREA amended section 30 of the FPA
to create a subset of small conduit facilities that are categorically excluded from the licensing and exemption requirements of the FPA. In 2014, the Commission issued Order No. 800, which became effective February 23, 2015, defining a qualifying conduit hydropower facility at 4.30b26 of its regulations.3 Subsequently, section 30 of the FPA was amended by the 1 Public
Law 11323, 127 Stat. 493 2013.
