On March 9, 2020, Commission staff, in response to the filing of a notice of study dispute by the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) on February 25, 2020, convened a single three-person Dispute Resolution Panel (Panel) pursuant to 18 CFR 5.14(d).
The Panel will hold a technical conference, via conference call, at the time identified below. The technical conference will address the study dispute regarding an assessment of the feasibility of various fish passage options for Atlantic salmon and alewife at the Green Lake Project, as requested by NMFS in its study request filed on July 26, 2019.
The purpose of the technical session is for the disputing agency, applicant, and Commission to provide the Panel with additional information necessary to evaluate the disputed study. All local, state, and federal agencies, Indian tribes, and other interested parties are invited to participate in the conference call as observers. The Panel may also request information or clarification on written ( printed page 15159) submissions as necessary to understand the matters in dispute. The Panel will limit all input that it receives to the specific study or information in dispute and will focus on the applicability of the study or information to the study criteria stipulated in 18 CFR 5.9(b). If the number of participants wishing to speak creates time constraints, the Panel may, at its discretion, limit the speaking time for each participant.
