Abstract: Under Section 24 of the Federal Power Act (16 USC 818) applicants proposing hydropower projects on, or changes to existing projects located on, lands owned by the United States are required to provide a description of the U.S. lands affected and to notify the Commission and the Secretary of the Interior. When the filer submits the FERC-587, the filer is also required to submit exhibit drawings (e.g., on aperture cards and/or electronic files). FERC Form No. 587 consolidates the information required, identifies hydropower project boundary maps associated with the lands of the United States, and serves as a ‘table of contents’ for the federal lands that are shown in the drawings. [The requirements and burden imposed by the drawings are cleared separately and not a subject of this request.]
