§ 20.1

Applicability.

(a) Without special proceeding for regulation. Every security issue within the
scope of the jurisdiction conferred upon
the Commission by sections 19 and 20 of
the Federal Power Act shall be subject
to the provisions of § 20.2, except a security issue by a person organized and
operating in a State under the laws of
which its security issues are regulated
by a State commission, or by any one
described in subsection 201(f) of the act.
No other security issue within the
scope of sections 19 and 20 shall be subject to § 20.2 except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section.
(b) Reservation of possibility of regulation in other cases. Not later than 10
days prior to any proposed security
issuance which is within the scope of
section 19 or section 20 of the act, but
excepted by paragraph (a) of this section, any person or state entitled to do
so under section 19 or section 20, may
file a complaint or request in accordance with the applicable rules of the
Commission, or the Commission upon
its own motion may by order initiate a
proceeding, raising the question whether issuance of such security should be
subjected by Commission order to the
provisions of § 20.2. After notice of such
filing or order, and until such request
or complaint is denied or dismissed or
the proceeding initiated by such order
is terminated without subjecting the
issuance of the security to the provisions of § 20.2, the security in question
shall not be issued except it be issued
subject to and in compliance with
§ 20.2.

§ 20.2 Regulation of issuance of securities.
The licensee or other person issuing
or proposing to issue any security subjected to this section by or pursuant to
§ 20.1, shall be subject to and shall comply with the same requirements as the
Commission would administer to it if it
were a public utility issuing the security within the meaning and subject to
the requirements of section 204 of the
Act and part 34 of this subchapter.
CROSS REFERENCE: For applications for authorization of the issuance of securities or
the assumption of liabilities, see part 34 of
this chapter.

(a) A brief description of the proposed
project and its purposes, including such
data as maximum height of the dams, a
storage capacity curve of the reservoir
or reservoirs showing the maximum,
average, and minimum operating pool
levels, the initial and ultimate installed capacity of the project, the
rated horsepower and head on the turbines, and a curve of turbine discharge
versus output at average and minimum
operating heads.
(b)(1) A general map (one tracing and
three prints) of any convenient size and
scale, showing the stream or streams

that the capacity of the plant is required to meet the load. For example,
furnish:
(i) Hydrographs covering a 10–day low
water period showing the natural flow
of the stream and the effect thereon
caused by operations of the proposed
power plant:
(ii) Similar hydrographs covering a
10–day period during which the discharge of the stream approximates average recorded yearly flow, and
(iii) Similar hydrographs covering a
low water year using average monthly
flows.
(2) A system load curve, both daily
and monthly, and the position on the
load curve that the proposed project
would have occupied had it been in operation.
