license to continue to operate the Kinzua Pumped Storage Project No.

competing NOI and PAD for a license for the Seneca Pumped Storage 
Project No. 13889-000. Both FirstEnergy and the Seneca Nation plan to

United States Forest Service Allegheny National Forest, adjacent to the 
Allegheny River and the Allegheny Reservoir near the City of Warren, in

federal lands.

containing a description of the existing project and proposed project 
facilities and mode of operation, a preliminary list of issues to be 
addressed in the Commission's National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)

scoping process, Commission staff will hold a site visit at the Kinzua 
Pumped Storage Project--Seneca Pumped Storage Project. All participants
