Solicitation of Public Comments on a Proposed Policy for Review of Mandatory Conditions Developed by the Departments of the Interior and Commerce in the Context of Hydropower Licensing

Résumé

The Department of the Interior and the Department of Commerce (Departments) are proposing a new process for public review of and comment on mandatory conditions and prescriptions the Departments develop as part of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's) hydropower licensing proceedings under part I of the Federal Power Act (Act). This policy would offer an opportunity for public comment on the Departments' mandatory conditions and prescriptions for both the traditional licensing process and the alternative licensing process.
