View Rule

The Commission issued this Final Rule to make minor changes to its regulations. This Final Rule amended requirements pertaining to the format and dimensions of maps and drawings submitted to the Commission by applicants and licensees in the Commission's hydropower program. Specifically, the amendments removed the requirement that applicants and licensees submit copies of certain project maps and drawings in microfilm format on aperture cards and changed the minimum and maximum dimensions applicable to submitted maps and drawings. These amendments modernize the regulations to reflect technological advances and relieve burdens placed on applicants and licensees (Docket No. RM14-20-000).
