Summary: The Northwest Hydroelectric Association (NWHA) supports the Department of the Interior's request for information regarding regulatory revisions. They argue for specific changes to Endangered Species Act (ESA) implementation, mandatory conditioning authorities, and trial-type hearing processes to ensure hydropower licensing is more efficient, predictable, and consistent with statutory requirements.
