Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 189 / Monday, October 1, 2007 / Notices fact be little incentive for the pipeline to try to reduce those costs. 22. In ANR, the Commission found that the inclusion of a true-up mechanism in a tracker does not remove all incentives for the pipeline to reduce its fuel use. The Commission explained that pipelines do face some competitive pressures in obtaining marginal throughput, for example, obtaining customers with access to alternative fuels. Because the Commission has held that pipelines may not discount their fuel use percentages since those costs are variable, the only way a pipeline can reduce its fuel percentages in order to help obtain marginal business is by reducing its fuel usage. 23. Was the Commission’s conclusion in ANR, that the benefits of requiring a true-up as part of a tracker outweigh the disadvantages of reduced incentives for efficient operation accurate? What impact does a true-up mechanism have on a pipeline’s incentive to reduce fuel costs? Is there evidence that pipelines with tracker and true-up mechanisms operate less efficiently than pipelines without such mechanisms? 24. Is there a benefit to giving pipelines an incentive to reduce fuel use, such as the inclusion in the tracker of a profit or loss sharing mechanism? If the pipeline could retain some benefit of fuel cost reductions, would it have a greater incentive to reduce those costs? Would customers benefit from the reduced costs and from sharing in any cost over-recoveries? How important are fuel costs relative to total transportation costs? (4) Should the Commission Retain Its Current Policy? 25. Finally, the Commission seeks comments on whether it should retain its current policy which gives pipeline discretion over whether to have a tracker mechanism governing the recovery of fuel costs. What are the benefits and/or costs of retaining the current policy? What factors should the Commission consider in deciding whether a change in fuel retention policy is warranted at this time? mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES III. Procedure for Comments 26.

Additional Information About the Proposed Settlement Agreement This case challenges the rule entitled ‘‘Final Extension of the Deferred Effective Date for 8-Hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Early Action Compact Areas,’’ 71 FR 69022 (Nov. 29, 2006). Specifically, Petitioner challenges EPA’s action to issue a further deferral of the effective date of the 8-hour ozone nonattainment designation for the Denver EAC area from December 31, 2006 to July 1, 2007. Under the terms of the proposed settlement, EPA will review and take final action on a regulation submitted by the State of Colorado to EPA in August 2007 (‘‘Regulation No. 7’’) by March 25, 2008. Additionally, by November 20, 2007, EPA will evaluate the 8-hour ozone air quality data for the Denver EAC area from 2005, 2006 and the first three quarters of 2007 and if the data do not indicate a violation of the 8-hour ozone standard, EPA will issue a final rule further extending the deferral of the effective date of the nonattainment designation until April 15, 2008. If the data do indicate a violation of the 8hour ozone standard, EPA will take no further action and the nonattainment designation will be effective November 20, 2007. Based on whether the area has an effective nonattainment or an effective attainment designation, the State of Colorado has to submit either an attainment demonstration or a maintenance SIP revision for the Denver EAC to EPA no later than July 1, 2009. If the State submits an attainment demonstration SIP revision, EPA must sign a notice of final agency action approving or disapproving the State of Colorado SIP revision by October 1, 2010. If either EPA or the State fail to meet any of these deadlines, RMCAA’s sole remedy is to request the court to lift the stay of the litigation and to set a briefing schedule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Additional Information About the Proposed Settlement Agreement

    This case challenges the rule entitled ``Final Extension of the 
Deferred Effective Date for 8-Hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality 
Standards for Early Action Compact Areas,'' 71 FR 69022 (Nov. 29, 
2006). Specifically, Petitioner challenges EPA's action to issue a 
further deferral of the effective date of the 8-hour ozone 
nonattainment designation for the Denver EAC area from December 31, 
2006 to July 1, 2007. Under the terms of the proposed settlement, EPA 
will review and take final action on a regulation submitted by the 
State of Colorado to EPA in August 2007 (``Regulation No. 7'') by March 
25, 2008. Additionally, by November 20, 2007, EPA will evaluate the 8-
hour ozone air quality data for the Denver EAC area from 2005, 2006 and 
the first three quarters of 2007 and if the data do not indicate a 
violation of the 8-hour ozone standard, EPA will issue a final rule 
further extending the deferral of the effective date of the 
nonattainment designation until April 15, 2008. If the data do indicate 
a violation of the 8-hour ozone standard, EPA will take no further 
action and the nonattainment designation will be effective November 20, 
2007. Based on whether the area has an effective nonattainment or an 
effective attainment designation, the State of Colorado has to submit 
either an attainment demonstration or a maintenance SIP revision for 
the Denver EAC to EPA no later than July 1, 2009. If the State submits 
an attainment demonstration SIP revision, EPA must sign a notice of 
final agency action approving or disapproving the State of Colorado SIP 
revision by October 1, 2010. If either EPA or the State fail to meet 
any of these deadlines, RMCAA's sole remedy is to request the court to 
lift the stay of the litigation and to set a briefing schedule.
    For a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication 
of this notice, the Agency will receive written comments relating to 
the proposed settlement agreement from persons who were not named as 
parties or intervenors to the litigation in question. EPA or the 
Department of Justice may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed 
settlement agreement if the comments disclose facts or considerations 
that indicate that such consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, 
or inconsistent with the requirements of the Act. Unless EPA or the 
Department of Justice determines, based on any comment which may be 
submitted, that consent to the settlement agreement should be 
withdrawn, the terms of the agreement will be affirmed.
