White Pine Waterpower, LLC; Notice of Revised Schedule for White 
Pine Pumped Storage Project

    This notice revises the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's 
(Commission) schedule for processing White Pine Waterpower, LLC's 
(White Pine) license application for the White Pine Pumped Storage 
Project. A prior notice issued on March 3, 2025, 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, White Pine requested an 
extension of time to complete its hydrogeologic study with a final 
study report to be filed by January 31, 2027. Commission staff issued a 
letter approving the extension of time on March 10, 2026. To account 
for the additional time needed for White Pine to complete the study and 
file the study report, the application will be processed according to 
the following revised schedule.
    Notice of Ready for Environmental Analysis: April 2027.
    Draft NEPA Document: January 2028.
    Final NEPA Document: July 21, 2028.
    The project is covered under Title 41 of the Fixing America's 
Surface Transportation Act (FAST-41). Under FAST-41, 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. We 
currently anticipate issuing the final order for the project no later 
than:

Issuance of Final Order--October 19, 2028

    If a schedule change becomes necessary, additional notice will be 
provided so that interested parties and government agencies are kept 
informed of the project's progress.

(Authority: 18 CFR 2.1)

    Dated: March 11, 2026.
Carlos D. Clay,
Deputy Secretary.
