If FERC grants the license application, the order will state all conditions in the form of numbered articles, and it will make findings of fact and law that support these articles.¹ A denial will make the necessary findings and, for an existing project, must also address decommissioning. The order will be final 30 days after issuance, unless the licensee or other party timely seeks rehearing.
