    On March 28, 2014, Commission staff, in response to the filing of a 
Notice of Study Dispute by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) on 
March 13, 2014, convened a single three-person Dispute Resolution Panel 
(Panel) pursuant to 18 CFR 5.14(d).
    The Panel will hold a technical conference at the time and place 
identified below. The technical conference will address the study 
dispute regarding the need to quantify the entrainment of American shad 
eggs and larvae into the Northfield Mountain Pumped Storage Project (P-

    The purpose of the technical session is for the disputing agency, 
applicant, and Commission to provide the Panel with additional

it receives to the specific study or information in dispute and will 
focus on the applicability of the study or information to the study 
criteria stipulated in 18 CFR 5.9(b). If the number of participants 
wishing to speak creates time constraints, the Panel may, at its 
discretion, limit the speaking time for each participant.
