The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is asking for public comments on the FERC-512 information collection. This request is related to renewing the paperwork approval needed for preliminary permits, which allow companies the priority to apply for hydropower project licenses. These permits, which last up to four years, do not authorize construction but let companies study and plan potential projects. Public comments on this matter are due by March 12, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission wants to hear what people think about letting companies have more time to plan water power projects before they try to get a big license. They want these thoughts by March 12, 2021.
