Abstract
In 1935, the Federal Power Act was amended to provide that recreational purposes shall be included among the “beneficial public uses” for which hydroelectric project licenses are to be issued. Since 1963, when recreational use plans were first required as part of license applications, licensed projects have been subjected to increasingly detailed obligations regarding recreational resource development. In 1965, the Federal Power Commission issued a policy statement regarding licensees’ obligations to provide recreational opportunities and public access thereto. Other regulatory actions included the adoption of Part 8 of the Commission’s regulations, requiring licensees to keep the public informed of the availability of project lands and waters for recreational purposes through newspaper notices and posting of project lands, and the requirement to file a regular report, Form 80, on the status and use of recreational facilities at licensed projects.
