MIKVA, Circuit Judge:
This case involves a contest over a license to run a major hydroelectric power project in the state of Washington. Its significance, however, extends substantially beyond the instant dispute and raises important questions about the meaning of § 7(a) of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. § 800(a) (1982), the significance of the definitive precedent interpreting it, and the binding effect of a decision rendered by one of our sister circuits.
