SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
information collected on the FERC Form
80 (also known as ‘‘FERC–80,’’ OMB
Control No. 1902–0106), ‘‘Licensed
Hydropower Development Recreation
Report,’’ is used by the Commission to
implement the statutory provisions of
sections 4(a), 10(a), 301(a), 304 and 309
of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16
U.S.C. sections 797, 803, 825c & 8254.
The authority for the Commission to
collect this information comes from
E:\FR\FM\15APN1.SGM
15APN1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 72 / Thursday, April 15, 2010 / Notices
section 10(a) of the FPA which requires
the Commission to be responsible for
ensuring that hydro projects subject to
its jurisdiction are consistent with the
comprehensive development of the
nation’s waterway for recreation and
other beneficial public uses. In the
interest of fulfilling these objectives, the
Commission expects licensees subject to
its jurisdiction, to recognize the
resources that are affected by their
activities and to play a role in protecting
such resources.
FERC Form 80 is a report on the use
and development of recreational
facilities at hydropower projects
licensed by the Commission.
Applications for amendments to
licenses and/or changes in land rights
frequently involve changes in resources
available for recreation. Commission
staff utilizes FERC Form 80 data when
analyzing the adequacy of existing
public recreational facilities and when
processing and reviewing possible
amendments to help determine the
impact of such changes. In addition, the
Commission’s regional office staff uses
the FERC Form 80 data when
conducting inspections of licensed
projects. The Commission’s inspectors
use the data in evaluating compliance
with various license conditions and in
identifying recreational facilities at
hydropower projects.
The data required by FERC Form 80
are specified by Title 18 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR
8.11 and 141.14 (and are discussed at
https://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/
forms.asp#80). The FERC Form 80 is
collected once every six years. The last
collection was due on April 1, 2009, for
data compiled during the calendar year
ending December 31, 2008. The next
collection of the FERC Form 80 is due
on April 1, 2015, with subsequent
collections due every sixth year, for data
compiled during the previous calendar
year.
The current OMB clearance expires
on 9/30/2010. With the next collection
due in 2015, FERC Form 80 will not be
collected during the requested
upcoming three-year OMB clearance
cycle. Because the requirements for
Form 80 are contained in the
Commission’s regulations, FERC plans
to submit FERC Form 80 to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review, to ensure the OMB clearance
remains continuous and current.
Updates and corrections to the
instructions include:

reviewing the collection of information;
and (7) transmitting, or otherwise
disclosing the information.
The estimate of cost for respondents
is based upon salaries for professional
and clerical support, as well as direct
and indirect overhead costs. Direct costs
include all costs directly attributable to
providing this information, such as
administrative costs and the cost for
information technology. Indirect or
overhead costs are costs incurred by an
organization in support of its mission.
These costs apply to activities which
benefit the whole organization rather
than any one particular function or
activity.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the Commission,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
the agency’s estimate of the burden of

San Diego County Water Authority;
Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and
Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
April 7, 2010.
On March 1, 2010, San Diego County
Water Authority filed an application for
a preliminary permit, pursuant to
section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act,
proposing to study the feasibility of the
San Vicente Pumped Storage Water
Power Project No. 13747. The proposed
project would be located at the existing
San Vicente dam and reservoir on San
Vicente Creek in San Diego County,
California. The project would consist of
the existing San Vicente reservoir
functioning as the lower reservoir of the
project and one of three alternatives as
an upper reservoir: the Iron Mountain
Alternative, the Foster Canyon
Alternative, and the East Reservoir
Alternative. Specific details about each
of these alternatives are described
below. The sole purpose of a
preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant
the permit holder priority to file a
license application during the permit
term. A preliminary permit does not
authorize the permit holder to perform
any land-disturbing activities or
otherwise enter upon lands or waters
owned by others without the owners’
express permission.
All three of the alternatives would use
the San Vicente reservoir as the lower
reservoir of the pumped storage project.
The San Vicente reservoir portion of the
project would consist of:
(1) an existing dam, currently being
raised to a dam height of 337 feet, and
a length of 1,442 feet; and (2) an existing
impoundment, that upon completion of
the dam raise will have a surface area
of 1,600 acres, and storage capacity of

247,000 acre-feet with a normal
maximum water surface elevation of 767
feet above mean sea level (msl).
The three alternatives for the upper
reservoir are described below.
Iron Mountain Alternative
(1) A proposed 235-foot-high, 1,250foot-long upper dam located 3 miles
north of San Vicente reservoir; (2) a
proposed reservoir with a surface area of
93 acres having a storage capacity of
8,070 acre-feet and a normal maximum
water surface elevation of 2,110 feet
above msl; (3) a proposed 12,300-footlong, 20-foot-diameter concrete power
tunnel; (4) two proposed 500-foot-long,
steel-lined penstocks; (5) a proposed
powerhouse containing two generating
units having a total installed capacity of
500 megawatts; (6) a proposed 3,300foot-long, 24-foot-diameter concrete
tailrace; (7) a proposed 14,000-foot-long,
230-kilovolt transmission line; and (8)
appurtenant facilities.
Foster Canyon Alternative
(1) A proposed upper dam
approximately one half mile north of
San Vicente reservoir; (2) a proposed
upper reservoir with a surface area of
100 acres normal maximum water
surface elevation of 1,490 feet above
msl; (3) a proposed 3,000-foot-long, 20foot-long, concrete power tunnel; (4)
two proposed 300-foot-long, steel-lined
penstocks; (5) a proposed powerhouse
containing two generating units having
a total installed capacity of 480
megawatts; (6) a proposed 2,700-footlong, 24-foot-diameter concrete tailrace;
(7) a proposed 9,000-foot-long, 230kilovolt transmission line; and (8)
appurtenant facilities.
The East Reservoir Alternative
(1) A proposed upper dam
approximately 0.8 miles east of San
Vicente Reservoir; (2) a proposed upper
reservoir with a surface area of 60 acres
and a normal maximum water surface
elevation of 1,600 feet above msl; (3) a
proposed 6,000-foot-long, 20-foot-long
concrete power tunnel; (4) two proposed
300-foot-long, steel-lined penstocks; (5)
a proposed powerhouse containing two
generating units having a total installed
capacity of 570 megawatts; (6) a
proposed 2,600-foot-long, 24-footdiameter concrete tailrace; (7) a
proposed 15,000-foot-long, 230-kilovolt
transmission line; and (8) appurtenant
facilities.
The proposed project would have a
maximum estimated annual generation
of up to 1,000 gigawatt-hours, which
would be sold to a local utility.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The information collected on the FERC Form
80 (also known as ``FERC-80,'' OMB Control No. 1902-0106), ``Licensed
Hydropower Development Recreation Report,'' is used by the Commission
to implement the statutory provisions of sections 4(a), 10(a), 301(a),
304 and 309 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C. sections 797,
803, 825c & 8254. The authority for the Commission to collect this
information comes from
[[Page 19631]]
section 10(a) of the FPA which requires the Commission to be
responsible for ensuring that hydro projects subject to its
jurisdiction are consistent with the comprehensive development of the
nation's waterway for recreation and other beneficial public uses. In
the interest of fulfilling these objectives, the Commission expects
licensees subject to its jurisdiction, to recognize the resources that
are affected by their activities and to play a role in protecting such
resources.
FERC Form 80 is a report on the use and development of recreational
facilities at hydropower projects licensed by the Commission.
Applications for amendments to licenses and/or changes in land rights
frequently involve changes in resources available for recreation.
Commission staff utilizes FERC Form 80 data when analyzing the adequacy
of existing public recreational facilities and when processing and
reviewing possible amendments to help determine the impact of such
changes. In addition, the Commission's regional office staff uses the
FERC Form 80 data when conducting inspections of licensed projects. The
Commission's inspectors use the data in evaluating compliance with
various license conditions and in identifying recreational facilities
at hydropower projects.
The data required by FERC Form 80 are specified by Title 18 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR 8.11 and 141.14 (and are
discussed at https://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/forms.asp#80). The FERC
Form 80 is collected once every six years. The last collection was due
on April 1, 2009, for data compiled during the calendar year ending
December 31, 2008. The next collection of the FERC Form 80 is due on
April 1, 2015, with subsequent collections due every sixth year, for
data compiled during the previous calendar year.
The current OMB clearance expires on 9/30/2010. With the next
collection due in 2015, FERC Form 80 will not be collected during the
requested upcoming three-year OMB clearance cycle. Because the
requirements for Form 80 are contained in the Commission's regulations,
FERC plans to submit FERC Form 80 to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for review, to ensure the OMB clearance remains continuous
and current.

The total estimated annual cost burden to respondents (spread over

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The reporting burden includes the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide
the information including: (1) Reviewing instructions; (2) developing,
acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and systems for the
purposes of collecting, validating, verifying, processing, maintaining,
disclosing and providing information; (3) adjusting the existing ways
to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements;
(4) training personnel to respond to a collection of information; (5)
searching data sources; (6) completing and reviewing the collection of
information; and (7) transmitting, or otherwise disclosing the
information.
The estimate of cost for respondents is based upon salaries for
professional and clerical support, as well as direct and indirect
overhead costs. Direct costs include all costs directly attributable to
providing this information, such as administrative costs and the cost
for information technology. Indirect or overhead costs are costs
incurred by an organization in support of its mission. These costs
apply to activities which benefit the whole organization rather than
any one particular function or activity.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Commission, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) 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; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including 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.
