Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 123 / Wednesday, June 26, 2013 / Notices a. What approaches are being taken by the industry, ISOs, and other system planners to address the continued changes in projected resource mix resulting from Environmental Protection Agency rules and, among other things, recent trends in natural gas prices? How are regulators, system planners, and industry participants identifying and responding to potential changes in the generation resource mix or in capacity reserve levels due to retirement of aging or other non-economically viable plants? Which regions are expected to be most affected by retirement of coal plants or other changes in resource mix, and how are those regions responding? How are regions accommodating outages necessitated by generator retrofits? b. What is the status of implementation (in the Western Electricity Coordinating Council Region and in the other regions) of the recommendations made or lessons learned in the September 8, 2011 Southwest blackout and from the February 2011 cold weather outages? The purpose of this panel is not to discuss any ongoing investigation but to address what steps are being taken to ensure that the lessons learned are being implemented and are not lost over time. Also, what have been the primary obstacles in implementing the changes recommended in the NERC/FERC blackout reports issued in response to these outages? mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Panelists: 1.

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 applicant is considering two alternatives for this proposed project. The first option would include the installation of facilities immediately downstream of the existing Gould weir. The second option would include the installation of facilities in a bypass channel adjacent to Gould weir. Based on a reconnaissance-level study of the site performed in 2002, the project could have an installed capacity of 0.96 megawatt and an estimated average annual generation of 4.4 gigawatt-hours utilizing one Kaplan-bulb turbine. A preliminary design of the facilities and selection of the turbine and generator would be performed during the feasibility study. Applicant Contact: Mr. David Orth, 4886 East Jensen Avenue, Fresno, CA 93725, phone (559) 237–5567, extension 101. FERC Contact: Corey Vezina, (202) 502–8598 or Corey.vezina@ferc.gov. Competing Application: This application competes with Project No. 14497–000 filed February 11, 2013. Competing applications had to be filed on or before June 3, 2013. Deadline for filing comments and motions to intervene: 60 days from the issuance of this notice. Comments and motions to intervene may be filed electronically via the Internet.

Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to either conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the Emission Guidelines at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit an initial notification report, performance tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or operators are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. Reports are required semiannually at a minimum. Respondents/Affected Entities: Commercial and industrial solid waste incineration units. Estimated Number of Respondents: 90. Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually and annually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 18,061. ‘‘Burden’’ is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,892,789, which includes $1,748,799 in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $1,143,990 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a change in the total estimated respondent and Agency burden and cost as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens due to several reasons: (1) The previous ICR included contractor labor costs associated with annual stack testing and continuous parameter monitoring as a respondent burden. Since the contractor labor costs apply solely to O&M activities, we have revised the ICR to reflect these as O&M costs, resulting in an apparent decrease in the total E:\FR\FM\26JNN1.SGM 26JNN1
