FERC may reinstate a license that expired after December 31, 2023
What the document says“the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission may reinstate the license for the applicable project effective as of the date of expiration of the license”
Paragraph (1) of subsection (d). It applies where the period to commence construction of a covered project under section 13 of the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 806) expired after December 31, 2023 and before this Act was enacted. In that case reinstatement is permitted, and it is backdated to the date the license expired.
What the document actually says“the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission may reinstate the license for the applicable project effective as of the date of expiration of the license”
FERC can bring the permit back. It counts as live again from the day it ran out.
Some permits ran out before this law was signed. This part is for those. It works only if the permit ran out after December 31, 2023.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
