Intervene, and Competing Applications
emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
October 19, 2010.
On June 28, 2010, Osprey II, LLC filed
an application for a preliminary permit,
pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal
Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the
feasibility of the 649 Water Street
Project to be located on the
Cobbosseecontee Stream, in Kennebec
County, Maine. 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.
The proposed project would consist
of: (1) A new intake structure with trash
racks; (2) a new 6-foot-diameter, 1,900foot-long buried concrete penstock; (3) a
new approximately 400-square-foot
powerhouse containing two new
turbines and generators with a total

installed capacity of 1.5 megawatts;
(4) a new tailrace; (5) a new 7.2 or 12.47kilovolt transmission line connecting to
an existing distribution line
immediately adjacent to the proposed
powerhouse; and (6) appurtenant
facilities. The project would have an
estimated annual generation of 8,760
megawatt-hours.

Title: Hazardous Waste Specific Unit
Requirements, and Special Waste
Processes and Types.
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1572.08,
OMB Control No. 2050–0050.
ICR status: This ICR is currently
scheduled to expire on March 31, 2011.
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: This ICR provides a
discussion of all of the information
collection requirements associated with
specific unit standards applicable to
owners and operators of facilities that
treat, store, or dispose of hazardous
wastes as defined by 40 CFR Part 261.
It includes a detailed description of the
data items and respondent activities
associated with each requirement and
with each hazardous waste management
unit at a facility. The specific units and
processes included in this ICR are: Tank
systems, Surface impoundments, Waste
piles, Land treatment, Landfills,
Incinerators, Thermal treatment,
Chemical, physical, and biological
treatment, Miscellaneous (subpart X),
Drip pads, Process vents, Equipment
leaks, Containment buildings, Recovery/
recycling.
With each information collection
covered in this ICR, EPA is aiding the
goal of complying with its statutory
mandate under RCRA to develop
standards for hazardous waste
treatment, storage, and disposal
facilities, to protect human health and
the environment. Without the
information collection, the agency
cannot assure that the facilities are
designed and operated properly.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media
Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR)
was published in the Federal Register
(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of
title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR
establishes electronic reporting as an
acceptable regulatory alternative to
paper reporting and establishes
requirements to assure that electronic
documents are as legally dependable as
their paper counterparts. Under Subpart
D of CROMERR, state, tribe or local
government agencies that receive, or
wish to begin receiving, electronic
reports under their EPA-authorized
programs must apply to EPA for a
revision or modification of those
programs and get EPA approval. Subpart
D also provides standards for such
approvals based on consideration of the
electronic document receiving systems
that the state, tribe, or local government
will use to implement the electronic
reporting. Additionally, in § 3.1000(b)
through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D
provides special procedures for program
revisions and modifications to allow
electronic reporting, to be used at the
SUMMARY:

option of the state, tribe or local
government in place of procedures
available under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An
application submitted under the subpart
D procedures must show that the state,
tribe or local government has sufficient
legal authority to implement the
electronic reporting components of the
programs covered by the application
and will use electronic document
receiving systems that meet the
applicable subpart D requirements.
On April 27, 2010, the State of
Arkansas Department of Environmental
Quality (ARDEQ) submitted an
application for its Net Discharge
Monitoring Report (NetDMR) electronic
document receiving system for revision
of its 40 CFR part 123—National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) State Program Requirements
EPA-authorized program for electronic
reporting of Discharge Monitoring
Report (DMR) information under 40 CFR
part 122.
EPA has reviewed ARDEQ’s request to
revise its EPA-authorized program and,
based on this review, EPA has
determined that the application meets
the standards for approval of authorized
program revisions/modifications set out
in 40 CFR part 3, subpart D. In
accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(d), this
notice of EPA’s decision to approve
Arkansas’s request for revision to its 40
CFR part 123—NPDES State Program
Requirements authorized program for
electronic reporting of discharge
monitoring report information is being
published in the Federal Register.
ARDEQ was notified of EPA’s
determination to approve its application
with respect to the authorized program
listed above.

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: This ICR provides a discussion of all of the information
collection requirements associated with specific unit standards
applicable to owners and operators of facilities that treat, store, or
dispose of hazardous wastes as defined by 40 CFR Part 261. It includes
a detailed description of the data items and respondent activities
associated with each requirement and with each hazardous waste
management unit at a facility. The specific units and processes
included in this ICR are: Tank systems, Surface impoundments, Waste
piles, Land treatment, Landfills, Incinerators, Thermal treatment,
Chemical, physical, and biological treatment, Miscellaneous (subpart
X), Drip pads, Process vents, Equipment leaks, Containment buildings,
Recovery/recycling.
With each information collection covered in this ICR, EPA is aiding
the goal of complying with its statutory mandate under RCRA to develop
standards for hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal
facilities, to protect human health and the environment. Without the
information collection, the agency cannot assure that the facilities
are designed and operated properly.

What is the next step in the process for this ICR?
EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will
issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any
questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the
