    Northern States Power Company has applied to relicense the Saxon Falls Hydroelectric Project, located on the Montreal River in Michigan and Wisconsin. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) staff has determined that licensing the project is unlikely to significantly affect the environment, so they plan to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA). The EA will be shared for public review, and feedback will be considered in the final licensing decision. The Commission's Office of Public Participation is available to assist the public with inquiries and the filing process.

    Simple Explanation

    Northern States Power Company wants to keep using water at a place called Saxon Falls to make electricity, and the people in charge don’t think it will hurt nature too much, so they will make a report and ask people what they think before deciding.

    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has announced that Northern States Power Company is allowed to continue operating the Saxon Falls Hydroelectric Project under its current terms while they wait for a new license or another decision. The new annual license is effective for 2025, but if a decision isn't made by the end of the year, this license will renew automatically. This ensures that the project can keep running smoothly without interruption.

    Simple Explanation

    Northern States Power Company gets to keep using their water-powered electricity project while waiting to see if they need to make any changes to keep it going. If no decisions are made by the end of the year, they still have permission to keep it running the same way.
