To the Party Addressed:
Re: Hydro Licensing Status
Workshop Docket No. AD02-5-000
You are invited to attend and participate in a
two-day, Commissioner-led public workshop that will be held on December 10 and
11, 2001, beginning at 10:00 a.m., in the Commission Meeting Room at the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington,
D.C. The workshop will focus on the 51
pending license applications that have been on file with the Commission longer
than 5 years, which are identified in Attachment 1.
The workshop will concentrate on identifying the
unresolved issues associated with each project, and determining the best course
of action to resolve or remove obstacles to final action on each pending
license application.
We believe the best way to achieve the goals of the
workshop is for you and your staff to attend the workshop in person and have an
open and frank face-to-face dialogue.
However, we understand that budgetary and other constraints may limit
travel to Washington, D.C. Therefore,
we have made alternative arrangements for you to listen, view, or participate
in the workshop through the Internet, video conferencing, or
teleconferencing. For more details
about the alternative arrangements, please see the public notice (Attachment
2).
By December 3, 2001, an agenda for the workshop and
information about the pending license applications will be posted on the
Commission's web site under Hydro Licensing Status Workshop. Anyone without access to information on the
Commission's
web site, or have questions should contact Tom Dean at 202-219-2778, thomas.dean@ferc.fed.us or Alan Mitchnick at
202-219-2826, alan.mitchnick@ferc.fed.us.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
J. Mark Robinson
Director
Office of Energy Projects
