Kelliher, Chairman; Suedeen G. Kelly, Marc Spitzer, Philip D. Moeller, and Jon Wellinghoff; Settlements in Hydropower Licensing Proceedings Under Part I of the Federal Power Act; Policy Statement on Hydropower Licensing Settlements Issued September 21, 2006. 1. Hydroelectric licensing proceedings under Part I of the Federal Power Act (FPA) are ulti-faceted and complex. These proceedings involve the balancing of many public interest factors, as well as consideration of the views of all interested groups and individuals. Moreover, since the physical design, environmental impact, and history of every project is different, each licensing proceeding is, to at least some extent, unique. 2. Given this backdrop, the Commission looks with great favor on settlements in licensing cases. When parties are able to reach settlements, it can save time and money, avoid the need for protracted litigation, promote the development of positive relationships among entities who may be working together during the course of a license term, and give the Commission, as it acts on license and exemption applications, a clear sense as to the parties’ views on the issues presented in each settled case. 3. At the same time, the Commission cannot automatically accept all settlements, or all provisions of settlements. Section 10(a)(1) of the FPA requires that the Commission determine that any licensed project is best adapted E:\FR\FM\27SEN1.SGM 27SEN1
