2The Commission’s deadline applies to the 

decisions of other Federal agencies, and state 

agencies acting under federally delegated authority, 

that are responsible for Federal authorizations, 

permits, and other approvals necessary for 

proposed projects under the Natural Gas Act. Per 

18 CFR 157.22(a), the Commission’s deadline for 

other agency’s decisions applies unless a schedule 

is otherwise established by Federal law. 

Commission staff issued a notice that 

the project was ready for environmental 

analysis (REA Notice). Based on the 

information in the record, staff does not 

anticipate that licensing the project 

would constitute a major Federal action 

significantly affecting the quality of the 

human environment. Therefore, staff 

intends to prepare an Environmental 

Assessment (EA) on the application to 

license the project.1

The EA will be issued and circulated 

for review by all interested parties. All 

comments filed on the EA will be 

analyzed by staff and considered in the 

Commission’s final licensing decision. 

The Commission’s Office of Public 

Participation (OPP) supports meaningful 

public engagement and participation in 

Commission proceedings. OPP can help 

members of the public, including 

landowners, environmental justice 

communities, Tribal members, and 

others, access publicly available 

information and navigate Commission 

processes. For public inquiries and 

assistance with making filings such as 

interventions, comments, or requests for 

rehearing, the public is encouraged to 

contact OPP at (202) 502–6595 or OPP@

ferc.gov. 

The application will be processed 

according to the following schedule. 

Revisions to the schedule may be made 

as appropriate.

Black Canyon Hydro, LLC; Notice of 

Revised Schedule for the Seminoe 

Pumped Storage Project 

This notice revises the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission’s (Commission) 

schedule for processing Black Canyon 

Hydro, LLC’s license application for the 

Seminoe Pumped Storage Project. A 

prior notice issued on January 10, 2024, 

identified an anticipated schedule for 

issuance of draft and final National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 

documents and a final order for the 

project. On September 4, 2024, Black 

Canyon Hydro, LLC requested an 

extension of time to file its historic 

properties management plan by October 

31, 2024. Commission staff issued a 

letter approving the extension of time 

on September 11, 2024. To account for 

the additional time needed for Black 

Canyon Hydro, LLC to file the required 

information, the application will be 

processed according to the following 

revised schedule. 

Notice of Ready for Environmental 

Analysis: January 2025. 

Draft NEPA Document: September 

2025. 

Final NEPA Document: April 13, 

2026. 

In addition, in accordance with title 

41 of the Fixing America’s Surface 

Transportation Act, enacted on 

December 4, 2015, agencies are to 

publish completion dates for all federal 

environmental reviews and 

authorizations. This notice identifies the 

Commission’s anticipated schedule for 

issuance of the final order for the 

project, which is based on the revised 

issuance date for the final NEPA 

document. Accordingly, we currently 

anticipate issuing a final order for the 

project no later than: 

Issuance of Final Order: July 16, 2026.

provided so that interested parties and
