In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (Commission) regulations (18 CFR part 380), the Office of Energy Projects has prepared a Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) regarding Marquette Board of Light and Power’s plan to repair the Tourist Park Dam of the Marquette Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 2589) located on the Dead River in Marquette County, Michigan. This FEA concludes that the proposed repair, with staff’s recommended mitigation measures, would not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. Copies of the FEA are available for review in the Public Reference Room 2– A of the Commission’s offices at 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. The FEA may also be viewed on the Commission’s Internet Web site (https:// www.ferc.gov) using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. Renewal ICR 1664.07, OMB Control No. 2050– 0141. ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on 08/31/2010. 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: Section 311(d)(2)(G) of the Clean Water Act (CWA), requires a Product Schedule (the Schedule), identifying ‘‘dispersants, other chemicals, and other spill mitigating devices and substances, if any, that may be used in carrying out’’ the National Contingency Plan (NCP). The authority of the President to implement the CWA is currently delegated to EPA by Executive Order 12777 (56 FR 54757, October 18, 1991). The use of dispersants, other chemical agents, and biological additives to respond to oil spills in U.S. waters is governed by Subpart J of the NCP (40 CFR 300.900). To place a product on the Schedule, Subpart J requires that a product manufacturer conduct specific toxicity and effectiveness tests and submit the corresponding technical product data and other required information to the EPA Product Schedule Manager in the VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:52 Jul 02, 2010 Jkt 220001 Office of Emergency Management (OEM). EPA has established an effectiveness threshold for listing dispersants (40 CFR 300.920(a)(2)). Only those dispersants that meet or exceed the established threshold will be listed on the Schedule. In addition, at 40 CFR 300.915(d), EPA requires respondents to test bioremediation agents for effectiveness, using the testing protocol contained in Appendix C to part 300. The Bioremediation Agent Effectiveness Test is used to compare the effectiveness of different bioremediation agents. The objective of the effectiveness testing protocol is to provide empirical laboratory evidence that evaluates a bioremediation agent’s ability to enhance biodegradation compared to the degradation due to the natural population of oil degrading microbes. Collection and submission to EPA of the toxicity and effectiveness tests and technical product data is mandatory if a manufacturer wants to place a product on the Schedule. All information is typically submitted on paper however, once a company contacts EPA, the Product Schedule Manager can allow some data and information to be submitted electronically. At 40 CFR 300.920(c), respondents may assert that certain information in the technical product data submissions is confidential business information. EPA will handle such claims pursuant to the provisions in 40 CFR part 2, subpart B. Such information must be submitted separately from non-confidential information, clearly identified, and clearly marked ‘‘Confidential Business Information.’’ If the applicant fails to make such a claim at the time of submittal, EPA may make the information available to the public without further notice. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 28 hours per response. 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; PO 00000 Frm 00047 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action include, but are not limited to, manufacturers of bioremediation agents, dispersants, surface collecting agents, surface washing agents and other chemical agents and biological additives used as countermeasures against oil spills. Estimated Number of Respondents: 14 per year. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 390. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $100,493 includes $82,800 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change of hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. Dated: June 29, 2010.

    To place a product on the Schedule, Subpart J requires that a

EPA may make the information available to the public without further 
notice.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 28 
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
