    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued a notice regarding the Northern States Power Company's intent to file a license application for the Gile Flowage Storage Reservoir Project in Wisconsin. The notice begins the pre-filing process and requests public comments on the Pre-Application Document (PAD) and Scoping Document 1, with a deadline for submissions set for March 17, 2021. The commission encourages electronic filing of comments and study requests, as part of the planning process for the project, without holding a public scoping meeting due to COVID-19 restrictions. The notice also discusses collaborations with various agencies and the Northern States as FERC’s non-federal representative for specific consultations.
