H.R.3657

Hydropower Licensing Transparency Act

Chamber Passed·7/15/25

Hydropower Relicensing Transparency Act requires FERC to report annually to Congress on the status of ongoing hydropower relicensing applications.

The Hydropower Relicensing Transparency Act amends the Federal Power Act to mandate that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) submit an annual report to Congress on the status of ongoing hydropower relicensing applications. Each report must include details such as the date notice was provided to the Commission, any assigned docket number, whether an application has been filed, the status of the application, anticipated issuance dates, and any related proceedings or meetings. This aims to enhance transparency in the hydropower licensing process.
