A license applicant must provide the Commission with project information and proof of legal compliance. The applicant must also make a good-faith certified-mail effort to notify affected property owners and interested government agencies.

(a) Each license applicant must submit maps, plans, specifications, and cost estimates needed to understand the project. Once approved, they become part of the license and cannot be changed without Commission approval and inclusion in the license. The applicant must also submit satisfactory proof of compliance with State laws about stream beds and banks, water appropriation, diversion and use for power, the power business, and other business needed for the license, plus any other information the Commission requires. (b) When an application other than one under section 808 is filed, the applicant must make a good-faith effort by certified mail to notify each recorded owner of an interest in property within the project boundaries and each Federal, State, municipal, or other local government agency likely to be interested in or affected by the application.
