    On March 4, 2010, Commission staff, in response to the filing of a 
notice of study dispute by the U.S. Department of Interior, Fish and 
Wildlife Service, on February 12, 2010, convened a single three-person 
Dispute Resolution Panel (Panel) pursuant to 18 CFR 5.14(d).
    The Panel will hold a technical conference at the time and place 
noted below. The technical conference will address a study dispute 
pertaining to five issues in the Fish Entrainment, Population Sampling, 
Habitat Use, and Movement Study. The issues in dispute are: (1) Species 
of fish to be used in controlled entrainment testing; (2) methodology 
for controlled testing of entrainment injury and mortality; (3) 
riverine fish movement, behavior, and habitat use; (4) fish population 
effects; and (5) entrainment effects on fish eggs and larvae, aquatic 
macroinvertebrates, and zooplankton.
    The purpose of the technical session is for the disputing agencies, 
applicants, 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 attend the meeting as observers. The Panel may also request 
information or clarification on written submissions as necessary to 
understand the matters in dispute. The Panel will limit all input that 
it receives to the specific studies or information in dispute and will 
focus on the applicability of such studies 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 their 
discretion, limit the speaking time for each participant.
