S 3373

Sponsored by Steve Daines (R)

A bill to require the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to extend the time period during which licensees are required to commence construction of certain hydropower projects.

Would have let FERC give hydropower projects licensed before March 2020 four more years to start construction.

Tradeoff

Would have let federal regulators extend construction deadlines for older hydropower projects by four years. Would also have let them revive licenses that had already expired.
