I am not an expert in the re licensing process, but my understanding is that their denial is not official yet, it is in draft form. Hence the "Draft EIS" status of the document to which everyone refers. In my dumbed down thought process, I perceive them as saying "hey y'all - this is how we plan to rule on this. What do you think?"

So we are in a "public comment" period and this is our chance to comment, even if commenting means just physically coming to the meeting.

What distresses me is that FERC seems to have a narrow definition of stakeholder - e.g. when speaking about the proposed fall full pool level, they said it would only benefit property owners. That's silly. They are ignoring the huge potential economic benefit to the entire area for increased tourism. 

FERC also has a wide margin of error on weather prediction. They say the reason they don't want a 7 foot winter drop is that the 10 foot gives them a better margin of error to handle floods. Why do they still need such a wide margin of error, the same margin they had 40 years ago with stone age (comparatively) weather prediction methods?
