Requires the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to report to Congress each year on the status of hydropower license applications that are still pending.

• The first report is due 180 days after enactment, and reports are due every year after that.
• Covers new, subsequent, and original hydropower licenses where the applicant gave notice at least 3 years earlier and no license has been issued.
• Each report lists notice dates, docket numbers, whether an application has been filed, expected issuance dates, upcoming proceedings, and pending actions by licensees and agencies.
• Reports separate new and subsequent licenses from original licenses.

• Energy and Natural Resources Committee (Senate)
• Water and Power Subcommittee
