Download as PDF PWALKER on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES 26686 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 105 / Wednesday, June 3, 2009 / Notices the output of an intermittent generator located within Western’s Control Area and a delivery schedule from that generator serving load located outside of Western’s Control Area. Intermittent generators serving load outside Western’s Control Area will be required to pseudo-tie or dynamically schedule their generation to another Control Area. An intermittent resource, for the limited purpose of these schedules, is an electric generator that is not dispatchable and cannot store its fuel source and therefore cannot respond to changes in system demand or respond to transmission security constraints. Western proposes to base the rate on deviation bands as follows: (i) Deviations within +/¥1.5 percent (with a minimum of 2 MW) of the scheduled transaction to be applied hourly to any generator imbalance that occurs as a result of Transmission Customer’s scheduled transaction(s) will be netted on a monthly basis and settled financially, at the end of the month, at 100 percent of the average incremental cost; (ii) Deviations greater than ±1.5 percent up to 7.5 percent (or greater than 2 MW up to 10 MW) of the scheduled transaction to be applied hourly to any generator imbalance that occurs as a result of Transmission Customer’s scheduled transaction(s) will be settled financially, at the end of each month. When energy delivered in a schedule hour from the generation resource is less than the energy scheduled, the charge is 110 percent of incremental cost. When energy delivered from the generation resource is greater than the scheduled amount, the credit is 90 percent of the incremental cost; and (iii) Deviations greater than ±7.5 percent (or 10 MW) of the scheduled transaction to be applied hourly to any generator imbalance that occurs as a result of the Transmission Customer’s scheduled transaction(s) will be settled at 125 percent of Western’s highest incremental cost for the day when energy delivered in a schedule hour is less than the energy scheduled or 75 percent of Western’s lowest daily incremental cost when energy delivered from the generation resource is greater than the scheduled amount. As an exception, an intermittent resource will be exempt from this deviation band and will pay the deviation band charges for all deviations greater than the larger of 1.5 percent or 2 MW. Notwithstanding the foregoing, deviations from scheduled transactions in order to respond to directives by the Transmission Provider, a balancing authority, or a reliability coordinator VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:08 Jun 02, 2009 Jkt 217001 shall not be subject to the deviation bands identified above and, instead, shall be settled financially, at the end of the month, at 100 percent of incremental cost. Such directives may include instructions to correct frequency decay, respond to a reserve sharing event, or change output to relieve congestion. Western’s incremental cost will be based upon a representative hourly energy index or combination of indexes. The index to be used will be posted on Western’s OASIS https:// www.oatioasis.com/wapa/ at least 30 days prior to use for determining the Western incremental cost and will not be changed more often than once per year unless Western determines that the existing index is no longer a reliable price index. Legal Authority Western is proposing transmission and ancillary service rates for the P– SMBP—ED in accordance with section 302 of the Department of Energy (DOE) Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7152). This section transferred to and vested in the Secretary of Energy the power marketing functions of the Secretary of the Department of Interior and the Bureau of Reclamation under 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 section 5 of the Flood Control Act of 1944 (16 U.S.C. 825s); and other acts that specifically apply to the projects 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 FERC. Existing DOE procedures for public participation in power rate adjustments (10 CFR part 903) were published on September 18, 1985 (50 FR 37835). After review of public comments, and possible amendments or adjustments, Western will recommend the Deputy Secretary of Energy approve the proposed rates on an interim basis. Availability of Information All brochures, studies, comments, letters, memorandums, or other documents that Western initiates or uses to develop the proposed rates are PO 00000 Frm 00039 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 available for inspection and copying at the Upper Great Plains Regional Office, located at 2900 4th Avenue North, Billings, Montana. Many of these documents and supporting information are also available on its Web site under the ‘‘2009 Transmission and Ancillary Services Rate Adjustment Process’’ section located at https://www.wapa.gov/ ugp/rates/default.htm. Regulatory Procedure Requirements: Environmental Compliance In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4347), Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 CFR parts 1500–1508), and DOE NEPA Regulations (10 CFR part 1021), Western is in the process of determining whether an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement should be prepared or if this action can be categorically excluded from those requirements. Determination Under Executive Order 12866 Western has an exemption from centralized regulatory review under Executive Order 12866; accordingly, no clearance of this notice by the Office of Management and Budget is required.

L. 107–118) was signed into law on January 11, 2002. The Act amends the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended, and authorizes EPA to award grants to states, tribes, local governments, and other eligible entities to assess and clean up brownfields sites. EPA requires Brownfields program grant recipients to report information to EPA on the uses and accomplishments associated with the funded brownfields activities. EPA uses this information to meet Federal stewardship responsibilities to manage and track how program funds are being spent, to evaluate the performance of the Brownfields Cleanup and Redevelopment Program, to meet the Agency’s reporting requirements under the Government Performance Results Act, and to report to Congress and other program stakeholders on the status and accomplishments of the grants program. This ICR addresses the burden imposed on grant recipients that are associated with those reporting and recordkeeping requirements that are specific to grants awarded under the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act. This ICR renewal modifies the annual reporting and recordkeeping burden under the previous ICR. The modified PO 00000 Frm 00040 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 26687 burden reflects an increase in the number of respondents subject to the reporting and recordkeeping requirements, and improvements to the reporting forms based on EPA’s experience implementing the grant program. EPA is also modifying the reporting form to simplify and clarify the reporting requirements, which will improve the accuracy of information reported and minimize the burden to grant recipients. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 5 hours per response for job training grant recipients, and 1.25 hours per response for subtitle A assessment, cleanup, and revolving loan fund and subtitle C grant recipients. 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. Respondents/Affected Entities: Local governments, Indian Tribes and nonprofit organizations. Estimated Number of Respondents: 544. Frequency of Response: Bi-annual for subtitle C grant recipients; quarterly for subtitle A grant recipients. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 16,550. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,584,479, includes $0 annualized capital or O&M costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 7,867 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is primarily due to an additional $100 million in grant funding for the EPA Brownfields Program in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the majority of which is going towards awarding approximately 200 additional grants in the first year of the ICR.
