 Erie Boulevard Hydropower L.P.; Notice of Dispute Resolution 
Panel Meeting and Technical Conference

    On September 16, 2011, Commission staff, in response to the filing 
of notice of study dispute by the New York State Department of 
Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) on August 29, 2011, 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 session will address study disputes regarding six 
separate studies that focus on aquatic resource related issues. The 
disputes primarily address the Commission's determination on data 
collection and study methodologies being required for assessing project 
related effects on aquatic resources. The focus of the technical 
session is for the disputing agency, applicant, and Commission to 
provide the Panel with additional information necessary to evaluate the 
disputed studies. 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.
    If you have any questions, please contact Ryan Hansen at (202) 502-
