16828 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 56 / Thursday, March 22, 2012 / Notices 

1The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) also 

requested dispute resolution on two studies 

requested by the California Department of Fish and 

Game (Cal Fish and Game) and one study requested 

by NMFS. Additionally, NMFS requested dispute 

resolution on one of the Cal Fish and Game studies. 

In a March 9, 2012, letter the Director of the Office 

of Energy Projects determined that the Cal Fish and 

Game’s studies would not be referred to dispute 

resolution because a disputing agency can only 

dispute a study request that it has made itself. The 

dispute regarding the study requested by NMFS and 

endorsed by FWS will go forward as a NMFS study 

dispute.

Turlock Irrigation District, & Modesto 

Irrigation District; Notice of Dispute 

Resolution Process Schedule, Panel, 

Technical Conference, and Modified 

Filing Times for Panel 

Recommendations and Dispute 

Determination 

On January 11, 2012, the National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration’s National Marine 

Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the 

California Water Resources Control 

Board (Water Board) (collectively, the 

Agencies), filed a Notice of Study 

Dispute to initiate the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission’s (Commission) 

formal study dispute resolution process, 

pursuant to 18 CFR 5.14, in the 

relicensing proceeding for the Don 

Pedro Hydroelectric Project No. 2299– 

075.1 Turlock Irrigation District and the 

Modesto Irrigation District (collectively, 

the Districts), are co-licensees for the 

Don Pedro Hydroelectric Project. 

In its Notice of Study Dispute, NMFS 

disputes the December 22, 2011 Study 

Plan Determination’s treatment of eight 

of its June 10, 2011 study requests. 

NMFS identified study requests 1–4 and 

7–9 as being in dispute. Specifically, the 

disputed study requests are: Request 1— 

Effects of the Project and Related 

LaGrange Complex Facilities on 

Anadromous Fish; Request 2—Effects of 

the Project and Related Facilities 

Evaluated Through an Operations 

Model; Request 3—Effects of the Project

2Mr. White’s designation followed two previous 

designations of NMFS staff members who were 

determined to have prior involvement in the Don 

Pedro proceeding and were deemed ineligible to 

serve on the Panel. Mr. White’s designation came 

one business day ahead of the deadline established 

by the Commission of March 5, 2012. Because of 

the delay in establishing an eligible agency panel 

member, March 5, 2012 will serve as the date of 

initiation of the dispute resolution process rather 

than the dispute notice date of January 11, 2011. 

Mr. White was designated to represent the Water 

Board as well as NMFS.

for Anadromous Fish; Request 4— 

Effects of the Project and Related

Fish: Magnitude, Timing, Duration, and

of the Upper Tuolumne Habitats for 

Anadromous Fish; Request 8—Salmon 

and Steelhead Full Life-Cycle 

Population Models; and Request 9— 

Effects of the Project and Related 

Facilities on Ecosystem/Marine-Derived 

Nutrients for Anadromous Fish. 

The Water Board’s Notice of Study 

Dispute seeks to have the Districts’ 

Study W&AR–2—Project Operations/ 

Water Balance Model modified to 

address constraints in timing and 

magnitude of flows related to water 

rights. 

On February 10, 2012, Commission 

staff designated Mr. Stephen Bowler to 

serve as the Commission staff Dispute 

Resolution Panel (Panel) chair. On 

March 2, 2012, NMFS designated Mr. 

David White as the Agency Dispute 

Resolution Panel member.2 From an 

established list of potential third party 

panelists, Mr. Bowler and Mr. White 

selected Mr. Richard Craven and 

requested that he serve on the Panel. 

Mr. Craven agreed to serve and the 

Panel convened on March 10, 2012. Mr. 

Craven’s statement certifying that he has 

no conflict of interest, which also 

summarizes his qualifications, has been 

filed into the record. None of the three 

panelists have been involved previously 

in the Don Pedro Hydroelectric Project 

relicensing proceeding. 

By letter filed March 15, 2012, the 

Panel requested that the Director of the 

Office of Energy Projects (Director) 

modify the timeframe for submission of 

the Panel’s recommendations from 50 to 

60 days from the start of the dispute 

resolution process, specifically from 

April 24, 2012 to May 4, 2012. The 

Panel also recommended the 

modification of the deadline for the 

Director’s determination on the study 

dispute from 70 to 80 days from the start 

of the dispute resolution process, 

specifically from May 14, 2012 to May 

24, 2012. By this notice, the Director 

modifies the schedule as recommended 

and requested by the Panel under his 

authority provided in 18 CFR 5.29(f)(2) 

of the Commission’s regulations. The 

resulting process plan for dispute 

resolution is as follows:

The Panel will hold an all-day 

technical conference on the disputed 

studies on April 17, 2012. The 

conference will be held in Sacramento, 

CA. Further details will be supplied in 

a future notice. The purpose of the 

technical conference is for the disputing 

agencies, the applicant, and the 

Commission to provide the Panel with 

additional information necessary to 

evaluate the disputed studies. All local, 

state, and federal agencies, Indian tribes, 

and other interested parties are invited 

to attend the meeting as observers. The 

Panel may also request information or 

clarification on written submissions as 

necessary to understand the matters in 

dispute. The Panel will limit all input 

that it receives to the specific studies or 

information in dispute and will focus on 

the applicability of such studies or 

information to the study criteria 

stipulated in 18 CFR 5.9(b). If the 

number of participants wishing to speak 

creates time constraints, the Panel may, 

at its discretion, limit the speaking time 

for each participant.

Panel Chair, at stephen.bowler@ferc.gov
