    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has received a hydroelectric application from KEI (Maine) Power Management (I), LLC for the Eustis Hydroelectric Project in Maine. The application, which seeks a subsequent minor license, is available for public viewing and involves maintaining current project facilities and operations. Interested parties can submit additional study requests or apply for cooperating agency status until January 26, 2025. The project consists of a dam, powerhouse, and associated facilities, and operates to protect local water quality and aquatic resources. The FERC encourages electronic filings and provides various resources for public engagement and participation in the application process.

    The government is checking a plan from a company in Maine to keep running a small power plant by a river. People can tell the government if they think more studies are needed or join the project's planning team until January 26, 2025, so they can help protect fish and clean water in that area.

    The notice from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) explains rules about off-the-record communications that relate to contested proceedings. According to Order No. 607, FERC employees must submit these communications, whether written or oral, to the Secretary of the Commission. Prohibited communications are not considered in decision-making unless fairness demands their inclusion. Exempt communications are included in the decisional record unless they are with certain cooperating agencies. A list of recent off-the-record communications can be accessed on FERC's website.

    Simple Explanation

    The notice tells about the rules FERC follows when talking in secret during important decisions. They have to share what was said, but if it’s not fair to count it, they won’t use it to decide anything.
