Federal agency would report yearly on hydropower license applications to Congress
This bill would require the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to send yearly reports to Congress about the status of hydropower license applications. This means Congress would receive updates on application progress, which are typically public documents, aiming for more openness in the process.
Today, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is not required to send Congress yearly reports on the status of hydropower license applications. After this bill, FERC would be required to submit annual reports to Congress. These reports would detail the progress of specific hydropower license applications, including anticipated approval dates and actions taken by all involved parties.
