Hydropower Licensing Transparency Act

This bill would require the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to send Congress a report within 180 days of the law taking effect, and every year after that, on the status of hydropower license applications that are still pending. The report would cover renewal and original licenses where the applicant gave notice of intent at least 3 years before the report but no license has been issued. For each case, the report would list the notice date, docket number, whether an application was filed, the expected license issue date, upcoming meetings, and actions required of the applicant and agencies. The information would be separated by type of license.
