As part of our commitment to ensuring the effectiveness of the
Integrated Licensing Process (ILP), Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) is undertaking a second effectiveness evaluation. To
facilitate this review, FERC has contracted with Kearns & West to
conduct the 2010 ILP Effectiveness Evaluation. This effort includes
conducting interviews and teleconferences with a cross-section of
stakeholders, four regional workshops, and a multi-stakeholder
effectiveness technical conference in Washington, DC. We invite
stakeholders to provide lessons learned from their experience as a
participant in the ILP.
Interviews and Teleconferences
Over the next few weeks, members of Kearns & West will be
conducting phone interviews with a number of representatives of
agencies, tribes, non-governmental organizations, licensees, Commission
staff, and others involved in the above-identified hydropower licensing
proceedings. Applicants in these proceedings have completed the pre-
filing efforts and filed license applications using the ILP. Other
participants in these or other ILP proceedings are encouraged to share
their thoughts at the workshops and technical conference. Following the
completion of the interviews, three teleconferences by sectors (i.e.
applicants, resource agencies and tribes, and non-governmental
organizations) will be held between July 19 and July 30, 2010.
Regional Effectiveness Workshops
Commission staff will hold four regional workshops on the ILP in
September 2010. The purpose of the regional workshops is to seek
further feedback on experiences in the ILP and to explore ideas to
better implement the ILP. Because of ex parte concerns, discussions
will be limited to process rather than the merits of any proceeding
before the Commission.
FERC is exploring hosting the Regional Effectiveness Workshops in
the following locations: New York, California, Virginia or North
Carolina, and Washington State.
The workshops are open to the public and all interested parties are
invited to attend and participate. Meeting details and logistics will
be noticed and posted on the Commission's Web page and calendar (http://www.ferc.gov/).
Multi-Stakeholder ILP Effectiveness Technical Conference
A one-day, multi-stakeholder technical conference will be held on
Wednesday, November 3, 2010, from 11 a.m. (EST) to 3 p.m., in the
Commission Meeting Room at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
888 First Street, NW., Washington, DC. The technical conference will
focus on gathering information to evaluate the effectiveness of the ILP
and refining ideas to better implement the ILP. The technical
conference is open to the public and all interested parties are invited
to attend and participate.
We are exploring opportunities for remote listening, participating,
and viewing the Technical Conference. Final details will be noticed and
posted no later than October 1, 2010.
For additional information, please contact David Turner at 202-502-
6091 or [email protected].

Secretary.
