                  referred the bill (S. 1104) to extend the deadline for commencement
                  of construction of a hydroelectric project involving the Gibson Dam,
                  having  considered the same, reports favorably thereon without

                                             PURPOSE
                    The  purpose of S. 1104 is to extend the deadline for commence-
                  ment  of construction of a hydroelectric project involving the Gibson
                  Dam.
                                       BACKGROUND  AND NEED
                    Gibson  Dam  Hydroelectric Project was licensed as Federal En-
                  ergy Regulatory Commission   (FERC) Project No. 12478 in 2014,
                  and  subsequently received the maximum   two-year extension in
                  2014. The  deadline for the commencement of construction is cur-
                  rently January 12, 2016. Section 13 of the Federal Power Act pro-
                  vides that, if construction does not timely commence, the Commis-
                  sion must terminate the license. Due to unforeseen delays in pro-
                  curing the necessary rights-of-way and working with the U.S. Fish
                  and  Wildlife Service on transmission corridor compliance, legisla-
                  tion is required to extend the construction commencement deadline.
