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. 2145

is issued to Public Utility District No. 1

of Chelan County for a period effective

July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007, 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, 2007, 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 Public Utility

District No. 1 of Chelan County, is

authorized to continue operation of the

Rocky Reach Project until such time as

the Commission acts on its application

for a subsequent license.
