Description of Existing Facilities: The inoperative project consists of the following existing facilities: (1) Timbercrib dam with an overall length of 60 feet and a maximum height of 10 feet; (2) an intake structure; (3) a 2-inchdiameter, 50-foot-long steel penstock; and (4) a powerhouse containing one unit with a total capacity of 18 kilowatts. k. Description of Proceeding: The exemptee is currently in violation of Standard Article 1 of its exemption granted on October 8, 1982 (21 FERC ¶ 62,070). Section 4.106(a) of the Commission’s regulations, 18 CFR 4.106(a) (2011), provides, among other things, that the Commission reserves the right to revoke an exemption if any term or condition of the exemption is violated. The project has not generated since the early 1990s and has been abandoned by the exemptee. By not operating the project as proposed and authorized, the exemptee is in violation of the terms and conditions of the exemption. Based on staff’s most recent inspection on August 18, 2010, the exemptee has not made any progress toward bringing the project back into operation. On April 13, 2011, Commission staff sent a letter to the exemptee requiring him to show cause why the Commission should not initiate a proceeding to terminate the exemption based on his implied surrender of the exemption. The letter directed the exemptee to provide information, including documentation of contracts issued, permits obtained, agreements made, etc., and to show cause why the Commission should not terminate the exemption for lack of adequate progress toward the resumption of generation at the project. To date, the exemptee has failed to respond and the project remains inoperative. Commission staff continues to inspect the project every three years and reports that it remains inoperable and in poor condition. PO 00000 Frm 00028 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 l.

Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Leather Finishing Operations were proposed on October 2, 2000 (65 FR 58702), and promulgated on February 27, 2002. These standards apply to any existing, reconstructed, or new leather finishing operations. A leather finishing operation is a single process or group of processes used to adjust and improve the physical and aesthetic characteristics of the leather surface through multistage application of a coating comprising of dyes, pigments, film-forming materials, and performance modifiers dissolved or suspended in liquid carriers. A leather finishing operation is subject to the regulation only if it is a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emitting, or has the potential to emit, any single HAP at the rate of 10 tons (9.07 megagrams) or more per year, or any combination of HAP at the rate of 25 tons (22.68 megagrams) or more per year. Owners and operators must submit notification reports upon the construction or reconstruction of any leather finishing operation. Any leather finishing operation that starts up after proposal, but before promulgation, must submit an initial notification similar to the one submitted by existing sources. Each new or reconstructed source that starts up after promulgation must submit a series of notifications in addition to the initial notification that includes notification of intent to construct or reconstruct, and notification of startup. Upon the collection of twelve months of data after the date of initial notification, owners or operators of leather finishing operations must submit an annual compliance status certification report and, thereafter, annually. Owners or operators of a leather finishing operation subject to the rule must maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least five years following the date of E:\FR\FM\20SEN1.SGM 20SEN1
