DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. AD13–9–000] Hydropower Regulatory Efficiency Act of 2013; Notice Soliciting Pilot Projects To Test a Two-Year Licensing Process On August 9, 2013, President Obama signed into law the Hydropower Regulatory Efficiency Act of 2013 (Act). The Act, among other things, directs the Commission to investigate the feasibility of a two-year licensing process for PO 00000 Frm 00018 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 hydropower development at nonpowered dams and closed-loop pumped storage projects, develop criteria for identifying projects that may be appropriate for a two-year process, and by February 5, 2014, develop and implement pilot projects to test a twoyear process, if practicable. As directed by the Act, the Commission held an initial workshop on October 22, 2013, to solicit public comment and recommendations on how to implement a two-year process. By notice issued October 8, 2013, the Commission requested that written comments be filed by November 21, 2013. Federal and state agencies, hydropower developers, and nongovernmental organizations provided input at the workshop, and 16 comment letters have been filed regarding the two-year process. The Act does not authorize the Commission, by itself, to develop and implement pilot projects to test a twoyear process; therefore, the Commission is seeking proposals from potential applicants wishing to do so. As a general principle, we expect applicants to propose pilot projects that: Are located at a non-powered dam or are a closed-loop pumped storage project; have a well-developed project proposal including project facilities and operation; would cause little to no change to environmental resources; and are located in areas where there is substantial existing information on environmental resources and effects. Prior to requesting the use of a two-year process, prospective applicants should meet with federal and state resource agencies, Indian tribes, nongovernmental organizations, and the public regarding the project and potential pilot process proposal, potential project-related environmental effects, the availability of existing information, and the need for studies to supplement existing information. Further, prospective applicants should request written comments on the adequacy of available information and the need for studies, including the anticipated scope and duration of the studies. Based on our experience with expediting projects, the comments received at the initial workshop, and comments filed in response to our October 8, 2013 Notice, we have identified the following minimum criteria and process for projects that may be appropriate for licensing within a two-year process: • The project must cause little to no change to existing surface and groundwater flows and uses; E:\FR\FM\13JAN1.SGM 13JAN1
