To reinstate and extend the deadline for commencement of construction of a hydroelectric project involving Jennings Randolph Dam. (Sec. 1) This bill authorizes the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), upon request, to extend for up to six years the time period during which construction must commence on the Jennings Randolph Hydroelectric Project located on the North Branch of the Potomac River in Garrett County, Maryland, and Mineral County, West Virginia.

AI Summary

This bill authorizes the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to extend the deadline for commencing construction of the Jennings Randolph Hydroelectric Project, located on the North Branch of the Potomac River in Maryland and West Virginia, by up to six years. FERC can also reinstate the expired construction license for this project. The bill ensures that the licensee's obligation to pay annual charges would begin once the extended construction deadline expires, and if the license had already expired before the bill's enactment, the first extension would take effect from the date of the license's expiration.
