that a consensus exists that the use of
alternative procedures is appropriate in
this case. Gibson Dam Hydroelectric has
submitted a communications protocol
that is supported by the stakeholders.
The purpose of this notice is to invite
any additional comments on Gibson

alternative procedures, pursuant to
Section 4.34(i) of the Commission’s
regulations. Additional notices seeking
comments on the specific project

will be issued at a later date. Gibson
Dam Hydroelectric will complete and
file a preliminary Environmental
Assessment, in lieu of Exhibit E of the
license application. This differs from
the traditional process, in which an
applicant consults with agencies, Indian
tribes, NGOs, and other parties during
preparation of the license application
and before filing the application, but the
Commission staff performs the
environmental review after the
application is filed. The alternative
procedures are intended to simplify and
expedite the licensing process by
combining the pre-filing consultation
and environmental review processes
into a single process, to facilitate greater
participation, and to improve
communication and cooperation among
the participants.
Gibson Dam Hydroelectric issued an
initial consultation document
describing the proposed project on
February 15, 2005. Agency and public
meetings and a site visit for the project
were conducted during the week of
March 28, 2005.
