that wish to cooperate in the 

preparation of the environmental 

document should follow the 

instructions for filing such requests 

described in paragraph o. below.

l. With this notice, we are designating 

White Pine Hydro as the Commission’s 

non-federal representative for carrying 

out informal consultation, pursuant to 

section 7 of the Endangered Species Act 

and section 106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act.

o. With this notice, we are soliciting

study requests. All comments and study 

requests should be sent to the address 

above in paragraph h. In addition, all 

comments on the PAD and SD1, study

the merits of the potential application 

must be filed with the Commission. 

Documents may be filed electronically

mail an original and five copies to: 

Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426. 

All filings with the Commission must 

include on the first page, the project 

name (Shawmut Hydroelectric Project) 

and number (P–2322–060), and bear the 

appropriate heading: ‘‘Comments on 

Pre-Application Document,’’ ‘‘Study 

Requests,’’ ‘‘Comments on Scoping 

Document 1,’’ ‘‘Request for Cooperating 

Agency Status,’’ or ‘‘Communications to 

and from Commission Staff.’’ Any 

individual or entity interested in 

submitting study requests, commenting 

on the PAD or SD1, and any agency 

requesting cooperating status must do so 

by March 21, 2016. 

Study requests and comments on the 

PAD or SD1 that have been filed 

previously are part of the relicensing 

record and do not need to be refiled. 

p. Although our current intent is to 

prepare an environmental assessment 

(EA), there is the possibility that an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

will be required. Nevertheless, the 

scoping meetings held December 16, 

2015, and the scoping meeting to be 

held February 9, 2016, will satisfy the 

NEPA scoping requirements, 

irrespective of whether an EA or EIS is 

issued by the Commission. 

Scoping Meeting 

Commission staff held scoping 

meetings December 16, 2015. The 

transcripts for the meetings are in the 

public record for this project, and are 

available for review through the 

Commission’s Web site, using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link. 

Commission staff will hold a third 

scoping meeting in the vicinity of the 

project at the time and place noted 

below. All interested individuals and 

entities, particularly those who were 

unable to attend the December 16 

scoping meetings, are invited to attend 

the meeting, and to assist staff in 

identifying particular study needs, as 

well as the scope of environmental 

issues to be addressed in the 

environmental document. The time and 

location of the meeting is as follows: 

Evening Scoping Meeting 

Date: Tuesday, February 9, 2016. 

Time: 6:00 p.m. 

Location: Skowhegan Community 

Center, 39 Poulin Dr., Skowhegan,

As noted in item m. of this notice, 

SD1 was mailed to the individuals and 

entities on the Commission’s mailing 

list. Copies of SD1 will be available at 

the scoping meeting, or 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. 

Meeting Objectives 

At the scoping meeting, Commission 

staff will: (1) Initiate scoping of the 

issues; (2) review and discuss existing 

conditions and resource management 

objectives; (3) review and discuss 

existing information and identify 

preliminary information and study 

needs; and (4) review and discuss the 

process plan and schedule for pre-filing 

activities. 

Meeting participants should come

concerns. Please review the PAD in 

preparation for the scoping meeting. 

Directions on how to obtain a copy of 

the PAD and SD1 are included in item
