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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:09 Oct 25, 2010 Jkt 223001 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. Applicant Contact: Hoon Won, 275 River Road, P.O. Box 202, Woolwich, ME 04579; (203) 340–2517.

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: PO 00000 Frm 00022 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 65627 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. Dated: October 19, 2010. Andrew T.
