DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. PL01–1–000]

Hydroelectric Licensing Policies,

Procedures, and Regulations—

Comprehensive Review; Notice of

Public Meetings and Requesting

Comments and Recommendations

November 28, 2000.

Pursuant to Section 603 of the Energy

Act of 2000 (Public Law No. 106–469),

the Commission is preparing a

comprehensive review of policies,

procedures, and regulations for the

licensing of hydroelectric projects to

determine how to reduce the cost and

time of obtaining a license. Section 603

directs the Commission to report its

findings to Congress, including any

recommendations for legislative

changes, by May 8, 2001.

To ensure a comprehensive review,

the Commission seeks the comments

and recommendations of all

stakeholders in the Commission’s

hydroelectric licensing program,

including federal and state agencies,

Indian tribes, non-governmental

organizations, licensees, and other

members of the public. In particular, the

Commission wishes to receive

comments identifying steps in the

existing licensing process that may

require inordinate time and expense to

complete, and the reasons therefor.

The Commission will meet with other

federal agencies in Washington, DC, and

will send letters to state water quality

officials requesting their views.

The Commission will also hold public

meetings to receive comments and

recommendations in Washington, DC,

and in several locations throughout the

country. Notice of the location, date,

and times of these meetings will be

provided in future notices as

arrangements are made. Each public

meeting will include a review of the

existing licensing process and an

opportunity for participants to offer

their comments on how it can be

improved. The public meetings will be

recorded by a stenographer and,

thereby, will become a part of the record

of the proceeding. Persons making

statements will be asked to identify

themselves for the record. The speaking

time permitted to individuals will be

determined at the beginning of each

meeting, based on the number of

persons wishing to speak and the

approximate amount of time available

for the session, but all speakers will be

provided at least ten minutes to present

their views.

Persons choosing not to speak but

wishing to comment, as well as speakers

unable to summarize their positions

within the allotted time, may submit

written statements for inclusion in the

public record.

Written comments may also be mailed

to David P. Boergers, Secretary, Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426.

Correspondence should clearly show

the following caption on the first page:

Hydroelectric Licensing Policies, Procedures,

and Regulations—Comprehensive Review

In light of the limited amount of time

available for submission on the

Commission’s Report to Congress,

commenters are encouraged to provide

written comments as early as possible,

but not later than February 1, 2001, and

to use their time at the public meetings

to summarize previously filed written

comments or to focus on only the most

significant sources of cost and delay in

the licensing process from their

perspective. Comments may also be

filed electronically via the Internet. See
