provides, among other things, that it is

A license for the Appleton Trust

Project was issued by Order Issuing

License (Minor Project) on July 18, 1986

(36 FERC ¶ 62,047). The project has not

operated regularly since November 1994

and the licensee, James Lichoulas, Jr.,

has not made necessary repairs to

resume operations. By letter of March

17, 2003, the Commission’s Division of

E:\FR\FM\29MRN1.SGM

jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 60 / Thursday, March 29, 2007 / Notices

Dam Safety and Inspections, New York

Regional Office directed the licensee to

resume project operation by May 30,

2003, and to provide a status report to

that office by June 15, 2003. The

licensee did not comply. By letter of

September 23, 2004, Commission staff

informed the licensee that the project

was considered abandoned and that the

Commission may terminate the license

for the project under an implied

surrender proceeding. In this letter, the

licensee was given the opportunity to

voluntarily surrender the license.

On December 6, 2004, the licensee

filed a response to Commission staff’s

September 23, 2004 letter, stating that

the reason repairs had not been done at

the project was that the Appleton Mills

area had been undergoing a major

selective demolition of 400,000 of its

600,000 square feet and that an asbestos

removal and clean up process had gone

on for several years. In the December 6,

2004 filing, the licensee stated that

necessary planning was underway for

the reconstruction of the equipment and

wheelhouse. The licensee further stated

that it was his plan to develop a full

scope of work by early March 2005 and

that he would forward an outline of the

scope with a full timeline projection to

the Commission. However, a scope of

work was never filed. On July 26, 2006,

the City of Lowell, Massachusetts (City)

filed a letter with the Commission

stating that the City had acquired the

parcel of land on which the licensed

Appleton Trust Project is located.

To date, the licensee has not made the

necessary repairs to resume operations

at the project and the project is hereby

considered abandoned.

l. Location of the Order: A copy of the

order is available for inspection and

reproduction at the Commission in the

Public Reference Room or may be

viewed on the Commission’s Web site at
