ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: EPA is proposing to approve a portion of a revision to the Mississippi State Implementation Plan (SIP), submitted by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), to EPA on November 28, 2007. The revision modifies Mississippi’s prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) permitting regulations in the SIP to address permit requirements promulgated in the 1997 8–Hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) Implementation Rule-Phase II (hereafter referred to as the ‘‘Ozone Implementation New Source Review (NSR) Update’’). The Ozone Implementation NSR Update revised permit requirements relating to the implementation of the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS specifically incorporating nitrogen oxides (NOX) as a precursor to ozone. Specifically, this SIP revision incorporates by reference the Ozone Implementation NSR Update federal regulations into the Mississippi SIP through Air Pollution Control Section 5 (APC–S–5) ‘‘Regulations for the Prevention of Significant Deterioration of Air Quality.’’ EPA’s approval of Mississippi’s incorporation by reference of the Ozone Implementation NSR Update federal regulations, including provisions to recognize NOX as an ozone precursor, into the Mississippi SIP, is based on EPA’s determination that Mississippi’s revision related to these provisions complies with current Federal requirements and section 110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). EPA is not taking action on two portions of Mississippi’s November 28, 2007 submittal. The first is regarding Mississippi’s incorporation by reference of provisions promulgated by EPA on May 1, 2007, which exclude from the NSR major source permitting requirements ‘‘chemical process plants’’ that produce ethanol through a natural fermentation process (hereafter referred to as the ‘‘Ethanol Rule’’). See 72 FR 24060. EPA may consider further action SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\07OCP1.SGM 07OCP1

Transmission Planning and Cost Allocation by Transmission Owning 
and Operating Public Utilities

September 29, 2010.
AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, DOE.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; request for reply comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On June 17, 2010, the Commission issued a Notice of proposed 
rulemaking (75 FR 37884) proposing to amend the transmission planning 
and cost allocation requirements established in Order No. 890 to ensure 
that Commission-jurisdictional services are provided on a basis that is 
just, reasonable and not unduly discriminatory or preferential. With 
respect to transmission planning, the proposed rule would provide that 
local and regional transmission planning processes account for 
transmission needs driven by public policy requirements established by 
state or federal laws or regulations; improve coordination between 
neighboring transmission planning regions with respect to interregional 
facilities; and remove from Commission-approved tariffs or agreements a 
right of first refusal created by those documents that provides an 
incumbent transmission provider with an undue advantage over a 
nonincumbent transmission developer. Neither incumbent nor nonincumbent 
transmission facility developers should, as a result of a Commission-
approved tariff or agreement, receive different treatment in a regional 
transmission planning process. Further, both should share similar 
benefits and obligations commensurate with that participation, 
including the right, consistent with state or local laws or 
regulations, to construct and own a facility that it sponsors in a 
regional transmission planning process and that is selected for 
inclusion in the regional transmission plan. With respect to cost 
allocation, the proposed rule would establish a closer link between 
transmission planning processes and cost allocation and would require 
cost allocation methods for intraregional and interregional 
transmission facilities to satisfy newly established cost allocation 
principles. The Commission is providing interested persons an 
opportunity to file reply comments on the proposed rule.

DATES: Reply comments to the proposed rule published June 30, 2010 (75 
FR 37884) are due November 12, 2010.

ADDRESSES: You may submit reply comments, identified by Docket No. 
RM10-23-000, by any of the following methods:
     Agency Web Site: https://www.ferc.gov. Documents created 
electronically using word processing software should be filed in native 
applications or print-to-PDF format and not in a scanned format.

electronically must mail or hand deliver an original and 14 copies of 
their comments to: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Office of the 
Secretary, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
