we) has forwarded the following
Information Collection Request (ICR) to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval: Use
Authorization Application (Form 7–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Bureau of Reclamation Use
Authorization Application, 43 CFR part
429.
Abstract: Reclamation is responsible
for approximately 6.5 million acres of
land which directly support
Reclamation’s Federal water projects in
the 17 western states. Individuals or
entities wanting to use Reclamation’s
lands, facilities, or waterbodies must
submit an application to gain
permission for such uses. Examples of
such uses are:
—Agricultural uses such as grazing and
farming;
—Commercial or organized recreation
and sporting activities;
—Other commercial activities such as
‘‘guiding and outfitting’’ and ‘‘filming
and photography;’’ and
—Resource exploration and extraction,
including sand and gravel removal
and timber harvesting.
Reclamation reviews applications to
determine whether granting individual
use authorizations is compatible with
Reclamation’s present or future uses of
the lands, facilities, or waterbodies.
When we find a proposed use
compatible, we advise the applicant of
the estimated administrative costs and
estimated application processing time.
In addition to the administrative costs,
we require the applicant to pay a use fee
for the use authorization based on a
valuation or competitive bidding. If the
application is for construction of a
bridge, building, or other significant
construction project, Reclamation may
require that all plans and specifications
be signed and sealed by a licensed
professional engineer.
We changed the form and its
instructions to comply with revisions to
43 CFR part 429. The name of the form
is now ‘‘Bureau of Reclamation Use
Authorization Application’’ and ‘‘rightof-use’’ is replaced with ‘‘use
authorization’’ in the form and
instructions. We expanded the examples
in the instructions of proposed uses for
which you must seek permission. The
instructions reflect an application fee of
$100. However, some applications may
incur a higher cost due to additional
required analyses such as the need to
perform a valuation or to ensure
compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act. The average
cost for preparing an application is
estimated to be $200. We made other
changes to the form and the instructions
to improve the readability and

phone numbers, instead of work and
home numbers.
Frequency: Each time a use
authorization is requested.
Respondents: Individuals,
corporations, companies, and State and
local entities who want to use
Reclamation lands, facilities, or
waterbodies.
Estimated Annual Total Number of
Respondents: 175.

Comments
We invite your comments on:
(a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of our functions, including
whether the information will have
practical use;
(b) The accuracy of our burden
estimate for the proposed collection of
information;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
(d) Ways to minimize the burden of
the information collection on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
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. Reclamation will
display a valid OMB control number on
the Use Authorization Application Form
7–2540. A Federal Register notice with
a 60-day comment period soliciting
comments on this collection of
information was published in the
Federal Register (73 FR 56865, Sep. 30,
2008). No public comments were
received.
OMB has up to 60 days to approve or
disapprove this information collection,
but may respond after 30 days;
therefore, public comment should be
submitted to OMB within 30 days in

BILLING CODE 4310–MN–P
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree
in United States v. Kentucky Utilities
Company Under the Clean Air Act
Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby
given that on February 3, 2009, a
proposed consent decree (‘‘Consent
Decree’’) between Kentucky Utilities
Company (‘‘Kentucky Utilities’’) and the
United States in connection with Civil
Action No. 5:07–CV–75–KSF, was
lodged with the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of
Kentucky.
The Consent Decree would resolve
claims asserted by the United States
against Kentucky Utilities pursuant to
Sections 113(b) and 167 of the Clean Air
Act (the ‘‘Act’’), 42 U.S.C. 7413(b) and
7477, seeking injunctive relief and the
assessment of civil penalties for
Kentucky Utilities’ violations of:
(a) The Prevention of Significant
Deterioration (‘‘PSD’’) provisions in Part
C of Subchapter I of the Act, 42 U.S.C.
7470–92;
(b) The New Source Performance
Standards (‘‘NSPS’’) provisions of the
Act, 42 U.S.C. 7411;
(c) Title V of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 7661
et seq.; and
(d) The federally enforceable State
Implementation Plan (‘‘SIP’’) developed
by the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
Kentucky Utilities Company is a
Kentucky corporation headquartered in
Lexington, Kentucky. Kentucky Utilities
owns and operates five coal-fired
electrical power generating stations in
Kentucky. One of those stations, the
E.W. Brown Plant (‘‘Brown Plant’’) is
located on Lake Herrington in Mercer
County, Kentucky. The Brown Plant
operates three coal-fired boiler units.
Only Unit 3 at the Brown Plant (‘‘Brown
Unit 3’’) is the subject of this settlement.
The complaint filed by the United States
alleges that Kentucky Utilities modified
Brown Unit 3 without complying with
the PSD requirements of the Act
(including the requirements to first
obtain a PSD permit authorizing the
modification and to install and operate
the best available technology to control
emissions of sulfur dioxide (‘‘SO2’’),
nitrogen oxides (‘‘NOX’’), and/or
PO 00000

particulate matter (‘‘PM’’)), and without
complying with the NSPS requirements
of the Act. The complaint also alleges
that Kentucky Utilities violated Title V
of the Act by failing to include the PSD
and NSPS requirements triggered by its
modifications in its Title V operating
permit for the Brown Plant. Finally, the
complaint alleges that Kentucky
Utilities illegally operated Brown Unit 3
at heat input capacities that were higher
than allowed by its operating permit.
The proposed Consent Decree would
require Kentucky Utilities to reduce
SO2, NOX and PM emissions at Brown
Unit 3 through the installation and
operation of state-of-the-art pollution
control technologies. In addition, the
proposed Consent Decree would require
Kentucky Utilities to contribute $3
million toward environmental
mitigation projects, including $1.8
million toward a carbon sequestration
research project overseen by the
University of Kentucky and the
Kentucky Geological Survey, $1 million
to retrofit diesel school buses with
devices to reduce particulate matter
emissions, and $200,000 toward the
National Park Service’s efforts to protect
and restore Mammoth Caves National
Park. Finally, the proposed Consent
Decree would require Kentucky Utilities
to pay a civil penalty of $1.4 million.
The Department of Justice will receive
for a period of thirty (30) days from the
date of this publication comments
relating to the Consent Decree.
Comments should be addressed to the
Assistant Attorney General,
Environment and Natural Resources
Division, and either e-mailed to
pubcomment-ees.enrd@usdoj.gov or
mailed to P.O. Box 7611, U.S.
Department of Justice, Washington, DC
20044–7611, and should refer to United
States v. Kentucky Utilities Company,
D.J. Ref. No. 90–5–2–1–08850.
The Consent Decree may be examined
at the Office of the United States
Attorney, Eastern District of Kentucky,
260 West Vine Street, Suite 300,
Lexington, Kentucky 40507–1612, and
at U.S. EPA Region IV, 61 Forsyth
Street, SW., Atlanta, Georgia 30303–
8960. During the public comment
period, the Consent Decree may also be
examined on the following Department
of Justice Web site, https://

Consent Decree may also be obtained by
