Download as PDF rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES 57932 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 196 / Thursday, October 11, 2007 / Notices All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with: Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. The Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure require all intervenors filing documents with the Commission to serve a copy of that document on each person whose name appears on the official service list for the project. Further, if an intervenor files comments or documents with the Commission relating to the merits of an issue that may affect the responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency. A copy of any motion to intervene must also be served upon each representative of the Applicant specified in the particular application. k. Description of Request: The Alabama Power Company (APC) is requesting a temporary variance of the minimum flow requirement of the project license in order to resume a study of the effects of minimum flow reductions on aquatic resources, including the federally endangered Tulotoma snail, Tulotoma magnifica. Flow reductions are being studied because of a worsening drought in the Coosa Basin, rated ‘‘exceptional,’’ the most severe category recognized by the U.S. Drought Monitoring Program. The project license requires a flow release of 2,000 cfs July 1 through March 31. Study flow reductions were originally approved in a July 18, 2007 Commission order. The July 18, 2007 approval allowed a reduction to 1,000 cfs, made in 250-cfs increments. The licensee and resource agencies would assess habitat conditions downstream of Jordan Dam at each flow increment. However, in mid-August, when study flows were 1,600 cfs, high water temperatures caused concerns for the Tulotoma snail, and the study was suspended. With seasonal water temperatures decreasing, the licensee now proposes to resume the study, based on resource agency consultations and written concurrences. Flow releases would be reduced over a period of 6 days, to 1,600 cfs, by October 1. A target flow of 1,600 cfs, within +/¥5 percent, would be maintained until December 1, 2007, unless a 7-day inflow of at least 2,000 cfs occurs, in which case flow releases would be increased to 2,000 cfs. The licensee would hold weekly teleconferences with the resource agencies regarding the study and flows, and would produce aerial photographs of the downstream area at the reduced flow rate.

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 0976.13, OMB Control No. 2050–0024. ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2007. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 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, 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: This ICR renews an ongoing information collection from hazardous waste generators and hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facilities. This collection is done on a two-year cycle as required by Sections 3002 and 3004 of RCRA. The information is collected via a mechanism known as the Hazardous Waste Report for the required reporting year [EPA Form 8700–13 A/B] (also known as the Biennial Report). Both RCRA Sections 3002 and 3004 require EPA to establish standards for recordkeeping and reporting of hazardous waste generation and management. Section 3002 applies to hazardous waste generators and Section 3004 applies to hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities. The implementing regulations are found at 40 CFR 262.40(b) and (d); 262.41(a)(1)–(5), (a)(8), and (b); 264.75(a)–(e) and (j); 265.75(a)–(e) and (j); and 270.30(l)(9). This is mandatory reporting by the respondents. Burden Statement: The reporting burden is estimated to average 16.4 hours per respondent, and includes time for reviewing instructions, gathering data, completing and reviewing the forms, and submitting the report. The record keeping requirement is estimated to average 2.3 hours per response and includes the time for filing and storing the Biennial Report submission for three years. 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 PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 57933 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. Respondents/Affected Entities: Private Entities and State, Local, or Tribal Governments. Estimated Number of Respondents: 12,671, including 12,619 survey respondents and 52 state and territorial agencies. Frequency of Response: Biennially. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 685,196. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $20,137,491, including $66,642 annualized capital or O&M costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 519,944 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This increase in burden has occurred for two reasons. First, there is an increase in the number of respondents, from 9,106 in 2005 to 12,619 projected for 2007. Second, and most importantly, EPA is counting the State Agency burden in the overall burden for this ICR for the first time with this renewal. Historically, EPA calculated State Agency burden with the Federal Agency burden, so the State Agency burden was not reflected in the bottom line burden for the ICR. Dated: October 2, 2007.
