Western has determined that it is not necessary to hold a public information or public comment forum for this proposed minor rate adjustment as defined by 10 CFR part 903. After review of public comments and possible amendments or adjustments, Western will recommend the Deputy Secretary of Energy approve the proposed formula rates on an interim basis. Western is establishing firm electric and transmission service rates for P–DP under the Department of Energy Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7152); the Reclamation Act of 1902 (ch. 1093, 32 Stat. 388), as amended and supplemented by subsequent laws, particularly section 9(c) of the Reclamation Project Act of 1939 (43 U.S.C. 485h(c)); and other acts that specifically apply to the project involved. By Delegation Order No. 00–037.00, effective December 6, 2001, the Secretary of Energy delegated: (1) The authority to develop power and transmission rates to Western’s Administrator; (2) the authority to confirm, approve, and place such rates into effect on an interim basis to the Deputy Secretary of Energy; and (3) the authority to confirm, approve, and place into effect on a final basis, to remand or to disapprove such rates to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Existing Department of Energy (DOE) procedures for public participation in power rate adjustments (10 CFR part 903) were published on September 18, 1985. sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES Availability of Information All brochures, studies, comments, letters, memorandums, or other 21:01 Apr 28, 2008 Jkt 214001 Ratemaking Procedure Requirements Environmental Compliance In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.); the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for implementing NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500–1508); and DOE NEPA Implementing Procedures and Guidelines (10 CFR part 1021), Western has determined this action is categorically excluded from preparing an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES I. What information is EPA particularly interested in? Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA specifically solicits comments and information to enable it to: (i) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 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 estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (iv) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the VerDate Aug<31>2005 21:01 Apr 28, 2008 Jkt 214001 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 very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork burden for very small businesses affected by this collection. II. What information collection activity does this apply to? Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are all outer continental shelf sources except those located in the Gulf of Mexico west of 87.5 degrees longitude (near the border of Florida and Alabama). For sources located within 25 miles of states’ seaward boundaries, the requirements are the same as those that would be applicable if the source were located in the corresponding onshore area (COA). In states affected by this rule, state boundaries extend three miles from the coastline, except off the coast of the Florida Panhandle, where the state’s boundary extends three leagues (about nine miles) from the coastline. Title: Outer Continental Shelf Air Regulations, EPA ICR Number 1601.07 and OMB Control Number 2060.0249, expiration date: January 31, 2009. Abstract: Sources located beyond 25 miles of states’ boundaries are subject to Federal requirements (implemented and enforced solely by EPA) for Prevention of Significant Deterioration, New Source Performance Standards, National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants Standards, the Federal operating permit program, and the enhanced compliance and monitoring regulations. Before any agency, department, or instrumentality of the Federal Government engages in, supports in any way, provides financial assistance for, licenses, permits, approves any activity, that agency has the affirmative responsibility to ensure that such action conforms to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the attainment and maintenance of the national ambient air quality standards. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information request unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA’s regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15. Section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.) requires that all Federal actions conform with the SIPs to attain and maintain the NAAQS. Depending on the type of PO 00000 Frm 00073 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 action, the Federal entities must collect information themselves, hire consultants to collect the information or require applicants/sponsors of the Federal action to provide the information. The type and quantity of information required will depend on the circumstances surrounding the action. First, the entity must make an applicability determination. If the source is located within 25 miles of the state’s seaward boundaries as established in the regulations, the requirements are the same as those that would be applicable if the source were located in the COA. State and local air pollution control agencies are usually requested to provide information concerning regulation of offshore sources and are provided opportunities to comment on the proposed determinations. The public is also provided an opportunity to comment on the proposed determinations. Burden Statement: 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 annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 549 hours per response. The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency’s estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: Estimated Total Number of Potential Respondents: 49. Estimated Number of Responses: 62. Frequency of Response: Annual. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 34,038. Estimated Total Annual Costs: $1,858,350, which includes $0 annualized capital startup costs, $17,886 O&M costs, and$1,840,064 in annual labor costs. III. What is the next step in the process for this ICR? EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as E:\FR\FM\29APN1.SGM 29APN1 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 83 / Tuesday, April 29, 2008 / Notices 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. If you have any questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Dated: April 17, 2008. Jenny N.

SUMMARY: The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve) proposes to implement an electronic system for the submission of applications, notices, and other requests for regulatory authorization to the Federal Reserve System by insured depository institutions, bank holding companies (BHCs), foreign banking organizations (FBOs), other entities, individuals, or groups (collectively, filers) under the Federal Reserve Act, Bank Holding Company Act, Bank Merger Act, Change in Bank Control Act, the International Banking Act of 1978, and the Federal Reserve’s regulations implementing these statutes. As a part of this process the Federal Reserve would implement an authentication system to authorize filers and their designated agents to access the Electronic Applications system (E-Apps) and submit filings. To identify any unresolved issues with (E-Apps), the Federal Reserve proposes to establish a testing program involving a limited number of filers that would be willing to provide written and oral feedback regarding the authentication and testing processes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. What information is EPA particularly interested in?

    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA specifically 
solicits comments and information to enable it to:
    (i) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
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 estimate of the burden 
of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used;
    (iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
to be collected; and
    (iv) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
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 
very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of 
specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork 
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

II. What information collection activity does this apply to?

    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
all outer continental shelf sources except those located in the Gulf of 
Mexico west of 87.5 degrees longitude (near the border of Florida and 
Alabama). For sources located within 25 miles of states' seaward 
boundaries, the requirements are the same as those that would be 
applicable if the source were located in the corresponding onshore area 
(COA). In states affected by this rule, state boundaries extend three 
miles from the coastline, except off the coast of the Florida 
Panhandle, where the state's boundary extends three leagues (about nine 
miles) from the coastline.
    Title: Outer Continental Shelf Air Regulations, EPA ICR Number 
1601.07 and OMB Control Number 2060.0249, expiration date: January 31, 
2009.
    Abstract: Sources located beyond 25 miles of states' boundaries are 
subject to Federal requirements (implemented and enforced solely by 
EPA) for Prevention of Significant Deterioration, New Source 
Performance Standards, National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants Standards, the Federal operating permit program, and the 
enhanced compliance and monitoring regulations. Before any agency, 
department, or instrumentality of the Federal Government engages in, 
supports in any way, provides financial assistance for, licenses, 
permits, approves any activity, that agency has the affirmative 
responsibility to ensure that such action conforms to the State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) for the attainment and maintenance of the 
national ambient air quality standards. An agency may not conduct or 
sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of 
information request unless it displays a currently valid OMB control 
number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in 40 CFR are 
listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15. Section 176(c) of the 
Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.) requires that all Federal 
actions conform with the SIPs to attain and maintain the NAAQS. 
Depending on the type of action, the Federal entities must collect 
information themselves, hire consultants to collect the information or 
require applicants/sponsors of the Federal action to provide the 
information.
    The type and quantity of information required will depend on the 
circumstances surrounding the action. First, the entity must make an 
applicability determination. If the source is located within 25 miles 
of the state's seaward boundaries as established in the regulations, 
the requirements are the same as those that would be applicable if the 
source were located in the COA. State and local air pollution control 
agencies are usually requested to provide information concerning 
regulation of offshore sources and are provided opportunities to 
comment on the proposed determinations. The public is also provided an 
opportunity to comment on the proposed determinations.
    Burden Statement: 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 annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this 
collection of information is estimated to average 549 hours per 
response. The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's 
estimate, which is only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated Total Number of Potential Respondents: 49.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 62.
    Frequency of Response: Annual.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 34,038.
    Estimated Total Annual Costs: $1,858,350, which includes $0
