construction of the project for up to 3 consecutive 2-year periods from 
the date of the expiration of the extension originally issued by the 
Commission.
    (b) Reinstatement of Expired License.--If the period required for 
commencement of construction of the project described in subsection (a) 
has expired prior to the date of enactment of this Act--
            (1) the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission may reinstate 
        the license effective as of the date of the expiration of the 
        license; and
            (2) the first extension authorized under subsection (a) 
        shall take effect on that expiration date.
