The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) assigned staff members Rachael Warden and Elizabeth Molloy, who work in the Office of the General Counsel, to help with settlement talks related to the Thompson Falls Hydroelectric Project. These staff members are designated as non-decisional, meaning they won't be involved in decision-making on settlement agreements or the relicense application. Instead, different advisory staff will handle the review and processing of these matters. Furthermore, non-decisional staff and advisory staff are strictly prohibited from discussing the settlement and relicense application with each other.
Simple Explanation
In this notice, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has chosen two helpers, Rachael and Elizabeth, to join talks about a water power project in a town called Thompson Falls. They are there just to help and won't make any big decisions, and they have to work separately from the people who will decide.
