EWEB Draft License Application

 

News!

eureka software can create searchable archive DVDs that include all license application support documents, including interactive PDFs and videos. The documents are easily accessible to those working on license negotiationsProgress Energy's Final Application for License of the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Project.

And, as the relicensing process moves forward into implementation and through settlement negotiations, having license application documentation content that is accessible by a search of interactive PDFs and the simple click of a mouse is a win-win situation for both the client and the FERC.

SMUD UARP Application for New LicenseA Prime Example!
By early January 2006 the UARP Application for a New License that was submitted to the FERC on Friday, July 15, 2005, had been reviewed by the FERC and was found to have no deficiencies. This review of content is the first stage in a two-year review period. The application was submitted to the FERC in CD and print formats. eureka software processed the documents using templates designed by eureka with custom-formatted styles for publication of linked/bookmarked electronic documents. The resulting documents, complex interactive PDFs, were used in creating the print versions and the searchable multiple CD sets (14 CDs in a set) that were submitted to the FERC. They were concurrently published to the SMUD relicensing Web site.

Electronic Filing

let our experience power your success

eureka software has the experience and knowledge from being the first to create a hydro relicensing electronic publishing system. Working directly with our clients and the FERC, we developed this innovative system of interactive communication tools that included e-filing, DVD/CD and web publication. This system of multimedia publication exceeded the eureka creates license applications that are specifically developed to easily interface with FERC systemsexpectations of all parties involved. 

eureka software worked with the FERC to develop standardsFERC for electronic submissions of all energy documents and license applications. This is especially relevant since, as of July 2005, the integrated licensing process (ILP), which prefers e-filing for license documentation, became the default process for filing hydro licenses.

We can create a quality, economical site to facilitate your relicensing project. You can realize significant cost savings with our flexible design that integrates with your existing Web site and document management system.

Specific Benefits

  • Reduction in paperwork: Chelan County PUD estimates that their license application CDs and DVDs have reduced their paperwork by 50 percent!

  • Savings in document production:  CDs and DVDs cost substantially less to produce than a printed version of the same document.

  • More savings in document distribution: Documents can be made available on Web sites and CDs/DVDs are less expensive to mail than print documents.

  • No extra cost for the use of color on a CD: Large amounts of GIS mapping information that might otherwise be expensive to produce in hard copy can be included on a CD/DVD at no extra cost.

  • Documents are user-friendly: Documents are indexed and text-searchable through the use of hyperlinks and bookmarks.

  • Processing time can be significantly reduced: Copy protection can be implemented as appropriate, but CD/DVD versions of documents filed with the FERC can also be easily provided in their native format for reuse by the FERC when completing their NEPA assessment for the relicensing.

  • Individuals in the consultation process have up-to-date access to information: Copies of the relicensing Web site can be published on CD/DVD and updated by republishing every six months. This is an efficient and useful archiving method as well.

  • Relicensing Web sites benefit everyone: The internal hydro relicensing team uses the Web site for in-office filing and many find it unnecessary to maintain hard copies of the relicensing documents in their personal files.

An unexpected result of posting correspondence on the Web has arisen. It has been noted that interested parties and people at participating agencies have been more deliberate in what they say in their correspondence – to the benefit of thoughtful, constructive communication on all sides.
