In addition, on March 2, 2007, pursuant to section 10(j) of the Federal Power Act, staff issued a notice the application has been accepted for filing and is ready for further environmental analysis and requested motions to intervene, protests, comments, recommendations, terms and conditions, and fishway prescriptions.
