    p. Scoping Process: In gathering background information for 
preparation of an environmental document for the issuance of a Federal 
hydropower license, staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 
is using a scoping process to identify significant environmental issues 
related to the construction and operation or the continued operation of 
hydropower projects. The staff will review all issues raised during the 
scoping process and identify issues deserving of study and also 
deemphasize insignificant issues narrowing the scope of the 
environmental document as well. If preliminary analysis indicates that 
any issues presented in the scoping process would have little potential 
for causing significant impacts, the issue or issues will be identified 
and the reasons for not providing a more detailed analysis will be 
given.
    q. Request for Scoping Comments: Federal, state, and local resource 
agencies; licensees, applicants and developers; Indian tribes; other 
interested groups and individuals, are requested to forward to the 
Commission any information that they believe will assist the Commission 
staff in conducting an accurate and thorough analysis of the site-
specific and cumulative environmental effects of the proposed licensing 
activities of the project(s). Therefore you are requested to provide 
information related to the following items:

 Information, data, maps or professional opinion that may 
contribute to defining the geographical and temporal scope of the 
analysis and identifying significant environmental issues.
 Identification of and information from any other EIS or 
similar study (previous, on-going, or planned) relevant to the proposed 
licensing activities in the subject river basin.
 Existing information and any data that would aid in describing 
the past and present effects of the project(s) and other developmental 
activities on the physical/chemical, biological, and socioeconomic 
environments. For example, fish stocking/management histories in the 
subject river, historic water quality data and the reasons for 
improvement or degradation of the quality, any wetland habitat loss or 
proposals to develop land and water resources within the basin.
 Identification of any federal, state or local resource plans 
and future project proposals that encompass the subject river or basin. 
For example, proposals to construct or operate water treatment 
facilities, recreation areas, or implementation of fishery management 
programs.
 Documentation that would support a conclusion that the 
project(s) does not contribute, or does contribute to adverse and 
beneficial cumulative effects on resources and therefore should be 
excluded for further study or excluded from further consideration of 
cumulative impacts within the river basin. Documentation should 
include, but not be limited to: how the project(s) interact with other 
projects within the river basin or other developmental activities; 
results from studies; resource management policies; and, reports from 
federal, state and local agencies.

    Comments concerning the scope of the environmental document should
