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, this 

meeting will satisfy the NEPA scoping 

requirements, irrespective of whether an 

EA or EIS is issued by the Commission. 

Scoping Meetings 

Commission staff will hold two 

scoping meetings in the vicinity of the 

project at the time and place noted 

below. The daytime meeting will focus 

on resource agency, Indian Tribes, and 

non-governmental organization 

concerns, while the evening meeting is 

primarily for receiving input from the 

public. We invite all interested 

individuals, organizations, and agencies 

to attend one or both of the meetings, 

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 times and locations of 

these meetings are as follows:

identified through the scoping process. 

Site Visit 

The potential applicant and 

Commission staff will conduct a site

Meeting Objectives 

At the scoping meetings, 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; (4) review and discuss 

the process plan and schedule for prefiling activity that incorporates the time 

frames provided for in Part 5 of the 

Commission’s regulations and, to the 

extent possible, maximizes coordination 

of Federal, State, and Tribal permitting 

and certification processes; and (5) 

discuss the appropriateness of any 

Federal or State agency or Indian Tribe 

acting as a cooperating agency for 

development of an environmental 

document. 

Meeting participants should come 

prepared to discuss their issues and/or 

concerns. Please review the PAD in 

preparation for the scoping meetings. 

Directions on how to obtain a copy of 

the PAD and Scoping Document are

j. Background and Description of 

Proposal: On July 11, 2005, the 

Commission issued a new license for 

the continued operation of the Box 

Canyon Project. On November 17, 2006, 

the Commission issued its order on 

rehearing of the July 11 relicense order. 

The relicense order, as amended by the 

order on rehearing, contains, in their 

entirety, conditions submitted by the 

Department of the Interior (Interior) and 

the U.S. Forest Service pursuant to 

section 4(e) of the Federal Power Act 

(FPA) and the fish passage measures 

prescribed by Interior pursuant to FPA 

section 18. On November 21, 2006, the 

Pend Oreille PUD petitioned the Court 

of Appeals for the District of Columbia 

for review of the Commission’s July 

2005 licensing order and its November 

2006 order on rehearing, alleging the 

4(e) conditions and section 18 

prescriptions were not based on 

substantial evidence. In February 2007 

the case was referred to mediation. The 

parties have settled the issues and 

developed revised conditions and 

prescriptions as a result. 

The revised section 4(e) conditions 

and section 18 prescriptions are 

included as appendices A through D of 

the settlement agreement filed with the 

application for amendment of license. 

Additional provisions to be included in 

the license are set forth in appendix E. 

The settlement agreement also requires 

Interior and the Forest Service to file 

revised section 4(e) conditions that will 

replace certain conditions set forth in 

the July 11, 2005 licensing order. On 

April 7 and 9, 2009, respectively, the 

Forest Service and Interior filed their 

revised conditions and fishway 

prescriptions for the project. The Pend 

Oreille PUD requests that the 

Commission amend the new license to 

substitute the revised conditions and 

prescriptions submitted by the Forest 

Service and Interior and the additional 

provisions set forth in Appendix E to 

the settlement agreement. The Pend 

Oreille PUD also requests that the 

Commission make conforming revisions 

to license articles 401, 402 and 406 to 

reflect new schedules and other 

revisions set forth in the revised 

conditions and prescriptions. 

k. Locations of the Application: The 

settlement agreement and application, 

Interior’s revised section 4(e) and 

section 18 fishway prescriptions and the 

Forest Service’s revised section 4(e) 

terms and conditions, are available for 

review at the Commission in the Public 

Reference Room or may be viewed on 

the Commission’s Web site at http:// 

www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.

last three digits in the docket number
