Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Project No. 1417; Project No. 1835]

Central Nebraska Public Power and

Irrigation District Nebraska Public

Power District; Notice Extending

Deadline To Submit Final Biological

Opinion

January 31, 1997.

On December 4, 1996, the U.S.

Department of the Interior, Fish and

Wildlife Service (FWS), issued its draft

biological opinion on threatened and

endangered species for the relicensing

of the Kingsley Dam Project No. 1417

and the North Platte/Keystone Diversion

Dam Project No. 1835. The two

hydropower projects are located on the

North Platte, South Platte, and Platte

Rivers in Nebraska. On December 17,

1996, Commission staff participated in a

meeting with FWS to discuss the draft

biological opinion. Formal consultation

on the draft opinion was completed at

the conclusion of the December 17

meeting.1 FWS is required to deliver its

final biological opinion to the

Commission within 45 days after formal

consultation is consulted, i.e., no later

than January 31, 1997.2

FWS has not submitted the final

biological opinion as required. By letter

January 14, 1997, FWS informed the

Commission that it would not complete

the final biological opinion until May 2,

1997, and asked the Commission to

adopt its revised schedule.3 Given

FWS’s failure to meet the January 31,

1997 deadline and its January 14 letter

setting out a revised schedule, an

extension of the deadline for submitting

the final biological opinion is

warranted. The new deadline for the

final biological opinion is May 2, 1997,

as requested.
