Specifically, it permits FERC to extend the construction deadline for the Jordan Hydroelectric Limited Partnership's Flannagan Dam and Reservoir Hydroelectric Project in Virginia by up to six years, in three consecutive two-year periods, provided the project continues to meet requirements for good faith, due diligence, and public interest.
