Hydropower Licensing Transparency Act requires FERC to report annually on the status of hydropower relicensing applications.
The Hydropower Licensing Transparency Act amends the Federal Power Act to mandate that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) submit an annual report to Congress detailing the status of ongoing hydropower relicensing applications. The report must cover the licensing process for new and subsequent licenses, as well as original licenses, including whether applications have been filed, the anticipated issuance date, upcoming proceedings, and any ongoing or completed actions required of the licensee and other agencies. The information must be disaggregated by license type.
