Enhances dam and hydropower safety by amending the Federal Power Act.
The National Dam and Hydropower Safety Improvements Act of 2026 amends the Federal Power Act to improve dam and hydropower safety. It requires the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to notify states when a dam safety inspection requires repairs, when a license is revoked or surrendered, or when a non-compliance proceeding is initiated. FERC must also consult with states to provide records and information on dam maintenance, repair, and risk assessments.
