The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has issued a final rule updating the fee schedule for the use of government lands by hydropower licensees. This update, effective February 10, 2021, amends the per-acre rental fees as listed in Appendix A to Part 11 of the Commission’s regulations. These fees apply from October 1, 2020, to September 30, 2021, for fiscal year 2021. The update is procedural and doesn’t significantly impact the rights of non-agency parties.
Simple Explanation
The government has made new rules for how much money people who make electricity from water have to pay to use certain lands. These rules tell how much they have to pay for each piece of land for a year, but they don't explain exactly how they figure out the cost.
