    This notice revises the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's 
(Commission) schedule for processing Black Canyon Hydro, LLC's license 
application for the

Seminoe Pumped Storage Project. A prior notice issued on March 31, 
2023, identified an anticipated schedule for issuance of draft and 
final National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documents and a final 
order for the project. After the issuance of that notice, Black Canyon 
Hydro, LLC agreed to conduct additional studies requested by the 
agencies and file the study results by ``November 2023,'' and 
Commission staff issued a letter requiring the corresponding study 
reports and additional information to be filed with the Commission by 
November 30, 2023. To account for the additional time needed for Black 
Canyon Hydro, LLC to complete the studies and file the additional 
information, the application will be processed according to the 
following revised schedule.

Notice of Ready for Environmental Analysis: February 2024
Draft NEPA Document: October 2024
Final NEPA Document: May 9, 2025

    In addition, in accordance with Title 41 of the Fixing America's 
Surface Transportation Act, enacted on December 4, 2015, agencies are 
to publish completion dates for all federal environmental reviews and 
authorizations. This notice identifies the Commission's anticipated 
schedule for issuance of the final order for the project, which is 
based on the revised issuance date for the final NEPA document. 
Accordingly, we currently anticipate issuing a final order for the 
project no later than:

Issuance of Final Order: September 18, 2025

    If a schedule change becomes necessary, an additional notice will 
be provided so that interested parties and government agencies are kept 
informed of the project's progress.

    Dated: July 10, 2023.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
