Black Canyon Hydro, LLC; Notice of Revised Schedule for the 
Seminoe Pumped Storage Project

    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 July 10, 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 requested an extension of time to 
complete additional studies with a final study report to be filed by 
September 30, 2024. Commission staff issued a letter approving the 
extension of time on October 31, 2023. To account for the additional 
time needed for Black Canyon Hydro, LLC to complete the studies and 
file the study reports, the application will be processed according to 
the following revised schedule.

Notice of Ready for Environmental Analysis: December 2024
Draft NEPA Document: August 2025
Final NEPA Document: March 13, 2026

    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: June 18, 2026

    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: January 10, 2024.
Debbie-Anne A. Reese,
Acting Secretary.
