p. Scoping Process: The Commission’s 

scoping process will help determine the 

required level of analysis and satisfy the 

NEPA scoping requirements, 

irrespective of whether the Commission 

prepares an environmental assessment 

or Environmental Impact Statement. 

Due to on-going concerns with large 

gatherings related to COVID–19, we do 

not intend to hold in-person public 

scoping meetings or an in-person 

environmental site review. Rather, we 

will hold virtual public scoping 

meetings and a virtual environmental 

site review. 

Scoping Meetings 

Commission staff will hold two 

virtual public scoping meetings. A 

daytime meeting will focus on concerns 

of resource agencies, Native American 

tribes, and NGOs while an evening 

meeting will focus on receiving input 

from the public. We invite all interested 

agencies, Native American tribes, NGOs, 

and individuals to attend one of these 

meetings to assist us in identifying the 

scope of environmental issues that 

should be analyzed in the NEPA 

document. The scoping meetings will be 

recorded by a court reporter. All oral 

and written comments will become part 

of the Commission’s public record. Oral 

comments will be limited to 5 minutes 

in duration. 

Date and Time 

Meeting for resource agencies, Tribes, 

and NGOs: Thursday, September 9, 

2021, 9:00–11:00 am EDT, Call in 

number: 888–604–9359, Participant

Scoping Document 1 (SD1), which 

outlines the subject areas to be 

addressed in the environmental 

document, was mailed to the 

individuals and entities on the 

Commission’s mailing list and Great 

Lakes Hydro America, LLC’s mailing 

list. Copies of SD1 may be viewed on 

the web at http://www.ferc.gov, using 

the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Follow the 

directions for accessing information in 

paragraph n. Based on all oral and 

written comments, a Scoping Document 

2 (SD2) may be issued. SD2 may include 

a revised process plan and schedule, as 

well as a list of issues, identified 

through the scoping process. 

Environmental Site Review 

Great Lakes Hydro America, LLC and 

Commission staff will hold a virtual 

Environmental Site Review of the 

Ripogenus Project and the Penobscot 

Mills Projects on September 9, 2021, 

starting at 1:30 p.m. Please contact Cate 

Russell of HDR, Inc. at (207) 239–3792,

Meeting Objectives 

At the scoping meetings, staff will: (1) 

Briefly describe the relicensing process, 

as well as the projects and their 

operation; (2) initiate scoping of the 

issues; (3) review existing information 

and identify preliminary information 

and study needs; and (4) review the 

process plan and schedule for pre-filing 

activities. Meeting participants should

and/or concerns. Please review the PAD 

in preparation for the scoping meetings. 

Directions on how to obtain a copy of
