    On May 18, 2010, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) 
staff issued notice of a second effectiveness evaluation of the 
Integrated Licensing Process (ILP). The purpose of this evaluation is 
to seek further feedback on experiences in the ILP and to explore ideas 
to better implement the ILP. The May 18, 2010 Notice describes this 
effort, which includes conducting interviews and teleconferences with a 
cross-section of stakeholders, four regional workshops, and a multi-
stakeholder effectiveness technical conference in Washington, DC. To 
facilitate this review, FERC has contracted with Kearns & West to 
conduct the 2010 ILP Effectiveness Evaluation.
    As indicated in the May 18, 2010 Notice members of Kearns & West 
are conducting phone interviews with a number of representatives of 
agencies, tribes, non-governmental organizations, licensees, Commission 
staff, and others involved in 19 hydropower licensing proceedings in 
which the applicants have completed the pre-filing efforts and filed 
license applications using the ILP. To gather additional insight into 
the ILP formal dispute resolution process, staff has decided to expand 
the interview efforts to include all the proceedings where the ILP 
formal dispute resolution process has been used. The additional 
proceedings are identified in the caption above. Because of ex parte 
concerns, discussions will be limited to process rather than the merits 
of any proceeding before the Commission.
    See the May 18, 2010 Notice for additional details regarding the 
ILP effectiveness study.
    For additional information, please contact David Turner at 202-502-
6091 or [email protected].

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
