Act, 16 U.S.C. 791 (a) 825(r) and
sections 799 and 801.

k. Description of Request: The
licensee requests approval to construct
and operate a 3,000 cubic feet per
second (cfs) synchronous flow bypass
system and to revise flow reduction and
fluctuation criteria under article 33(d) of
the license for the Narrows II
development. Currently, the licensee is
only capable of bypassing 650 cfs
through the plant, which has a capacity
of 3,400 cfs under full generation load.
The proposed bypass system will allow
the licensee, especially during
emergency shutdown periods, to be able
to minimize flow fluctuations
downstream. The licensee has consulted
with the California Department of Fish
and Game, U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service and the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration’s National
Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA
Fisheries). The NOAA Fisheries, in
anticipation of the licensee’s proposal to
construct the bypass system, has issued
a preliminary Biological Opinion to
protect the Central Valley steelhead and
spring-run Chinook salmon that are
listed as threatened species under the
Endangered Species Act and occur
downstream of the project.
l. Locations of the Application: A
copy of the application is available for
inspection and reproduction at the
Commission’s Public Reference Room,
located at 888 First Street, NE., Room
2A, Washington, DC 20426, or by calling

Affected entities: Entities potentially
affected by this action are those which
generate, treat and store hazardous
waste. Examples include hazardous
waste incinerators, boilers, cement kilns
and lightweight aggregate kilns that
burn hazardous waste.
Title: RCRA Reporting and
Recordkeeping Requirements for Boilers
and Industrial Furnaces Burning
Hazardous Waste.
Abstract: EPA regulates the burning of
hazardous waste by several source
categories of hazardous waste
combustors under 40 CFR parts 63, 261,
264 thru 266 and part 270. The
VerDate jul<14>2003
14:55 Apr 20, 2005
Jkt 205001
standards to control emissions of
hazardous air pollutants from boilers
and industrial furnaces were
promulgated under Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
on February 21, 1991 (see 56 FR 7208)
and are codified in 40 CFR parts 266
and 270. The general facility and
comparable/syngas fuel standards, and
financial requirements are covered in 40
CFR parts 261, 264 and 265. Revised
standards to control emissions of
hazardous air pollutants from
incinerators, cement kilns and
lightweight aggregate kilns that burn
hazardous wastes were promulgated on
September 30, 1999, under the joint
authority of RCRA and Clean Air Act
(CAA). See 64 FR 52828. The EPA ICR
#1773.06 relating to the CAA provisions
(codified in 40 CFR part 63) has been
published separately under OMB
Control #2050–0171. The EPA ICR
#1361.09 pertaining to RCRA provisions
of the rule was approved under OMB
Control #2050–0073, expires on
December 31, 2005, and is being
renewed now under this action.
The emission standards of the
September 30, 1999 rule created
maximum achievable control
technology (MACT) based standards for
hazardous air pollutant emissions under
CAA, assuring that combustion of
hazardous waste in these devices is
properly controlled, while the RCRA
provisions satisfied EPA’s mandate to
ensure that hazardous waste combustion
is conducted in a manner protective of
human health and the environment.
Thus, we have consolidated regulatory
control of hazardous waste combustion
into a single set of regulations, thereby
minimizing the potential for conflicting
or duplicate federal requirements and
burden on the regulated community.
The information collection required
under this ICR is mandatory for the
regulated sources, as it is essential to
properly enforce the emission limitation
requirements of the rule and will be
used to further the proper performance
of the functions of EPA. EPA believes
that if the minimum requirements
specified under the regulations are not
met, EPA will not fulfill its
Congressional mandate to protect public
health and the environment. EPA,
however, has made extensive efforts to
integrate the monitoring, compliance
testing and recordkeeping requirements
of the CAA and RCRA, so that the
facilities are able to avoid the burden of
duplicate and unnecessary submissions.
We also ensure, to the fullest extent by
law, the confidentiality of the submitted
information. EPA may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The OMB control
numbers for EPA’s regulations are listed
in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.
The EPA would like to solicit
comments to:
(i) Evaluate whether the proposed
collections of information are necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the
Agency’s estimates of the burdens for
reporting and recordkeeping
requirements of the proposed
collections of information;
(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and,
(iv) Minimize the burden of the
collections of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated or
electronic collection technologies or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
Burden Statement: The total average
annual hourly burden for this ICR is
estimated to be 307,949 hours for 1969
responses, which is roughly 156 hours
per response. The total annual cost of
this ICR is estimated to be $26,353,000,
which represents $8,548,000 for capital/
startup costs, and $17,805,000 for
operation and maintenance costs.
Burden means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons
to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose
or provide information to or for a
Federal agency. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; develop,
acquire, install, and utilize technology
and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements; train personnel to be able
to respond to a collection of
information; search data sources;
complete and review the collection of
information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
