Regulatory Considerations in the Use of the ILP in Developing New Hydroelectric Projects by Kirby Gilbert, MWH. FERC’s Integrated Licensing Process (ILP) is applicable to both relicensing existing hydroelectric projects and developing new projects. FERC’s ILP was developed during a period when there were few applications being filed for new. WASHINGTON, D.C. – Hydropower makes up the largest portion of America’s renewable energy resources, but the licensing process needs modernizing as delays are causing inefficiencies for utilities and can hold up environmental benefits for years, a PG&E vice president told a Congressional committee. “Hydropower is an invaluable resource – and it’s .
About Us History. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) was established within the Department of Transportation on January 1, , pursuant to the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of (49 U.S.C. ).

The hydropower project licensing process provides the Service with a significant opportunity to pursue conservation of the nation’s wetlands, waterways, and watersheds and the fish and wildlife populations that they sustain.
These opportunities include improving instream flows at existing projects. “Emissions-free hydropower is a great source of electricity in Washington and keeps our rates among the lowest in the country,” Cantwell said.
“This bipartisan bill would help boost small hydropower development across the country by simplifying the licensing process. The Federal Power Act (FPA) gives FERC legal authority to issue licenses to non-federal hydropower projects. As noted in Chapter 1, non-federal projects represent about two-thirds of the hydropower projects operating in the U.S.

Relicensing process A license authorizes operation of a hydroelectric plant for 30 to 50 years. The plants’ current license was issued on December 5, A new license authorizes the continued operation of an existing (previously licensed) plant.
We’ll soon file a proposal, or Pre-Application Document, with FERC to begin the relicensing. The commission has three licensing processes. At least 5 years before a license expires, the licensee must file a notice of intent declaring whether or not it intends to seek a new license (relicense) for its project.
At least 2 years before a license expires, the licensee must file an application for new license. As required by Section of the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act (MSCIA) ofcertification is required for all motor carrier safety auditors, including private contractors, who conduct safety inspection audits and reviews.
