A bill to amend title IV of the Public Utilities Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 to expand the allowable power capacity of dams at which small hydroelectric power projects may be undertaken.

Amends the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 to revise the definition of "small hydroelectric power project" to mean any such project located at an existing dam which has not more than 100,000 kilowatts of installed capacity (present law limits to 15,000 kilowatts).
