{"abstract":"The Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO), within the Department of Energy (DOE) is issuing this request for information (RFI) to invite input from the public regarding challenges and opportunities associated with hydropower development in undeveloped stream-reaches. Through this RFI, the WPTO is also seeking input on the focus and structure of a potential funding opportunity to support research and development of advanced and/or non-traditional transformative hydropower technologies and project designs capable of avoiding or minimizing environmental and social effects of new cost- competitive hydropower development in undeveloped stream-reaches of the United States.","action":"Request for information (RFI).","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY","name":"Energy Department","id":136,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/energy-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/136","parent_id":null,"slug":"energy-department"},{"raw_name":"Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy","name":"Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Office","id":137,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/energy-efficiency-and-renewable-energy-office","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/137","parent_id":136,"slug":"energy-efficiency-and-renewable-energy-office"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2016/11/09/2016-27054.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"81 FR 78795","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Responses must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. (ET) on Friday, December 16, 2016.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2016-27054","effective_on":null,"end_page":78797,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2016/11/09/2016-27054.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/11/09/2016-27054/challenges-and-opportunities-for-sustainable-development-of-hydropower-in-undeveloped-stream-reaches","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2016-27054?publication_date=2016-11-09","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2016-11-09/2016-27054/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":3,"page_views":{"count":437,"last_updated":"2026-10-24 06:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-11-09/pdf/2016-27054.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2016-27054.pdf?1478612764","publication_date":"2016-11-09","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2016/11/09/2016-27054.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[],"comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=EERE_FRDOC_0001","supporting_documents_count":0,"docket_id":"EERE_FRDOC_0001","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"Recently Posted EERE Rules and Notices.","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2016-11-29T06:00:21Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":78795,"subtype":null,"title":"Challenges and Opportunities for Sustainable Development of Hydropower in Undeveloped Stream Reaches of the United States; Request for Information","toc_doc":"Challenges and Opportunities for Sustainable Development of Hydropower in Undeveloped Stream Reaches of the United States","toc_subject":"Requests for Information:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":81}
