In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) regulations (18 CFR Part 380), Commission staff reviewed the applications for licenses for the Nantahala, Franklin, and Mission projects (Nantahala West Projects) and prepared a draft combined environmental assessment (EA). The projects are located on the Nantahala, Little Tennessee, and Hiwassee rivers, respectively, in Macon and Clay counties, North Carolina. In this draft EA, Commission staff analyze the probable environmental effects of implementing the projects and conclude that approval of the projects, with appropriate staff-recommended environmental measures, would not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. Copies of the draft EA are available for review in Public Reference Room 2– A of the Commission’s offices at 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC.

Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are business or other for-profit. Title: Part B Permit Application, Permit Modifications, and Special Permits ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1573.11, OMB Control No. 2050–0009. ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on July 31, 2006. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: Section 3005 of Subtitle C of RCRA requires treatment, storage or disposal facilities (TSDFs) to obtain a permit. To obtain the permit, the TSDFs must submit an application describing the facility’s operation. There are two parts to the RCRA permit application— Part A and Part B. Part A defines the processes to be used for treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous wastes; the design capacity of such processes; and the specific hazardous wastes to be handled at the facility. Part B requires detailed site-specific information such as geologic, hydrologic, and engineering data. In the event that permit modifications are proposed by the applicant or EPA, modifications must conform to the requirements under Sections 3004 and 3005. This ICR provides a comprehensive discussion of the requirements for PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 owner/operators of TSDFs submitting applications for a Part B permit or permit modification. The information collections contained in this ICR are divided into three sections: demonstrations and exemptions from requirements (40 CFR part 264), contents of the part B application (40 CFR part 270), and permit modifications and special permits (40 CFR part 270). Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 165 hours per response. 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 which have subsequently changed; 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. The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency’s estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: Estimated total number of potential respondents: 74. Frequency of response: On occasion. Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 74. Estimated total annual burden hours: 12,209. Estimated total annual costs: $3,251,920. This includes an estimated burden cost of $783,682 and an estimated cost of $2,468,238 for capital investment and maintenance and operational costs. What Is the Next Step in the Process for This ICR? EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.

who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submission of responses. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from

specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork 
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does This Apply to?

    Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
business or other for-profit.
    Title: Part B Permit Application, Permit Modifications, and Special 
Permits
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1573.11, OMB Control No. 2050-0009.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on July 31, 
2006. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 
required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's 
regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal 
Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and are displayed 
either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate 
means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if 
applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA 
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: Section 3005 of Subtitle C of RCRA requires treatment, 
storage or disposal facilities (TSDFs) to obtain a permit. To obtain 
the permit, the TSDFs must submit an application describing the 
facility's operation. There are two parts to the RCRA permit 
application--Part A and Part B. Part A defines the processes to be used 
for treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous wastes; the design 
capacity of such processes; and the specific hazardous wastes to be 
handled at the facility. Part B requires detailed site-specific 
information such as geologic, hydrologic, and engineering data. In the 
event that permit modifications are proposed by the applicant or EPA, 
modifications must conform to the requirements under Sections 3004 and 
3005.
    This ICR provides a comprehensive discussion of the requirements 
for owner/operators of TSDFs submitting applications for a Part B 
permit or permit modification. The information collections contained in 
this ICR are divided into three sections: demonstrations and exemptions 
from requirements (40 CFR part 264), contents of the part B application 
(40 CFR part 270), and permit modifications and special permits (40 CFR 
part 270).
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 165 
hours per response. 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 which have subsequently changed; 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.
    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate, 
which is only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 74.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
