Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 15 / Friday, January 23, 2015 / Notices
The Department of Energy
(DOE) has submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
clearance, a proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. DOE,
Office of Science (SC), has chosen to
leverage the use of Government, Off-theShelf (GOTS) software capabilities to
implement a new consolidated system
called Portfolio Analysis and
Management System (PAMS).
DATES: Comments regarding this
collection must be received on or before
February 23, 2015. If you anticipate that
you will be submitting comments, but
find it difficult to do so within the
period of time allowed by this notice,
please advise the DOE Desk Officer at
OMB of your intention to make a
submission as soon as possible. The
Desk Officer may be telephoned at 202–
395–4650.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be sent to the DOE Desk Officer, Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget, New
Executive Office Building, Room 10102,
735 17th Street NW., Washington, DC
20503.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information or
copies of the information collection
instrument and instructions should be
directed to Marina Amoroso by email at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
section contains the following
information about the information
collection submitted to OMB for review:
(1) OMB No. New; (2) Information
Collection Request Title: Portfolio
Analysis and Management System
(PAMS) Submissions for Letter of Intent
(LOI), Pre-proposals, Interagency
Proposals, and DOE National Laboratory
Proposals; System Registration by
External Users. (3) Type of Request:
New collection; (4) Purpose: This new
system is based on the Health Resources
and Services Administration (HRSA)
Electronic Handbooks software.
Discretionary financial assistance
proposals continue to be collected using
Grants.gov but are imported into PAMS
for use by the program offices. Under
the proposed information collection, an
external interface will be implemented
in PAMS to allow two other types of
proposal submission: DOE National

Jkt 235001
Laboratories will be able to submit
proposals for technical work
authorizations directly into PAMS,
while other Federal Agencies will be
able to submit Proposals for interagency
awards directly into PAMS. External
users from all institution types will be
able to submit Solicitation Letters of
Intent and Pre-proposals directly into
PAMS. All applicants, whether they
submitted through Grants.gov or PAMS,
will be able to register with PAMS to
view the proposals that were submitted.
They will also be able to maintain a
minimal amount of information in their
personal profile. The proposed
collection will automate and streamline
the submission, tracking, and
correspondence portions of financial
award pre-review processes. The
information collected will be used by
DOE to select applicants and projects for
financial awards. (5) Annual Estimated
Number of Respondents: The following
numbers are calculated using the
average of the number of financial
assistance proposals received in fiscal
year 2006 through fiscal year 2010.
9,920 PAMS registrants, who are to
include 8,000 submitters of lab
proposals, interagency proposals, preproposals, and Letters Of Intent (LOI)
(assuming one person per estimated
submission) and 1,920 reviewers of
proposals submitted through Grants.gov.
(6) Annual Estimated Number of Total
Responses: The Office of Science
receives about 1,000 DOE national
laboratory and interagency proposals
per year, based on a five-year average of
estimated submission numbers (fiscal
year 2006 through fiscal year 2010) and
about 7,000 pre-proposals and letters of
intent per year, based on an estimate of
about 200 per solicitation and the
number of solicitations per year (about
35, based on a five-year average between
fiscal year 2006 and fiscal year 2010);
(7) Annual Estimated Number of Burden
Hours: The time it takes to complete a
form depends upon the type of form
being completed. External users will
need to register with PAMS in order to
access the system. It takes
approximately 30 minutes for external
users to complete the forms required to
become a registered PAMS user. Both
LOI and pre-proposal forms take 15
minutes each, whereas completing a
lab/interagency proposal will take about
2 hours. The reviewers require about 1
hour of analysis, per submission. Based
on the annual estimated number of
responses, broken down by DOE
national laboratory, letter of intent and
pre-proposal, the annual estimated time
required for reviewers to complete
analysis or responses and the time
PO 00000
Frm 00033
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
required for external users to register
with PAMS, the estimated annual
number of burden hours is 10,630.
Total number of unduplicated
respondents: 9,920.
Reports filed per person: 1.
Total annual responses: 9,920.
Total annual burden hours: 10,630.
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $0.
Statutory Authority
Section 641 of the Department of
Energy Organization Act, codified at 42
U.S.C. 7251, authorizes the DOE to
collect, use, and retain information that
is mandatory for the financial awards
process. All information comes from
proposals, reviews, and reports that are
submitted to the DOE by authorized
external users (i.e., scientists and
research administrators).
Issued in Washington, DC, on December 1,
2014.

South Maui Pumped Storage, LLC;
Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and
Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On October 20, 2014, South Maui
Pumped Storage, LLC, filed an
application for a preliminary permit,
pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal
Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the
feasibility of the South Maui Pumped
Storage Project (South Maui Project or
project) to be located on the Pacific
Ocean, in unincorporated Maui County,
Hawaii. The sole purpose of a
preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant
the permit holder priority to file a
license application during the permit
term. A preliminary permit does not
authorize the permit holder to perform
any land-disturbing activities or
otherwise enter upon lands or waters
owned by others without the owners’
express permission.
The proposed project would consist of
the following new features: (1) Four
400-foot-long, 200-foot-wide, 50-foothigh oval concrete storage tanks; (2) a
12,000-foot-long, 4.5-foot-diameter
buried steel penstock; (3) a 150-footlong, 68-foot-wide concrete
powerhouse; (4) two 15 megawatt (MW)
Pelton turbine/generators; (5) three 10
MW multi-stage variable speed pumps;
(6) an approximately 400-foot-wide,
450-foot-long tailrace/forebay; 1 (7) a
12,000-foot-long, 4.5-foot-diameter
buried steel supply pipeline; (8) two 28kilovolt transmission lines totaling
8,000 feet long, interconnecting with the
existing Sempra Gas and Power-owned
Auwahi wind turbine transmission line;
(9) a 5.6-mile-long paved access road;
and (10) appurtenant facilities. The
estimated annual generation of the
South Maui Project would be 5.2
gigawatt-hours.
Applicant Contact: Mr. Bart O’Keefe,
United Power Corporation, P.O. Box
1 The
tailrace/forebay would be a small
constructed inlet from the Pacific Ocean. Flows
from the turbines would discharge into the tailrace/
forebay. Return flows for filling of the storage tanks
would be pumped from the tailrace/forebay.

Post-Technical Conference Questions
for Comment
The goals of proper price formation
are to: Maximize market surplus for
consumers and suppliers; provide
correct incentives for parties to follow
commitment and dispatch instructions,
make efficient investments in facilities
and equipment, and maintain reliability;
provide transparency so that market
participants understand how prices
reflect the actual marginal cost of
serving load and the operational
constraints of reliably operating the
system; and ensure that all suppliers
have an opportunity to recover their
costs. With proper price formation, the
RTO/ISO would ideally not need to
commit any additional resources
beyond those resources scheduled
economically through the market
processes, and load would reduce
consumption in response to price
signals such that market prices would
reflect the value of electricity
consumption without the need to curtail
load administratively.
