The proposed Danville Union Dam
Hydroelectric Project would consist of
the following: (1) An existing 820-footlong and 10-foot-high dam made of
granite slabs; (2) an existing
impoundment having a surface area of
119.4 acres at an elevation of 410 feet
mean sea level, and a storage capacity
of 59.7 acre-feet at a 6-inch drawdown
from the dam crest; (3) an existing
1,460-foot-long canal that would be
extended an additional 1,000 feet
downstream from the current terminus
to the proposed powerhouse; (4) a new
30-foot by 100-foot powerhouse with
three identical turbine-generator units
with an installed capacity of 620
kilowatts each; (5) a 550-foot-long
tailrace; (6) a new 12.48-kilovolt
transmission line extending 500 feet
from the powerhouse to an existing
substation; and (7) appurtenant
facilities. The proposed project would
have an annual generation of 9.5
gigawatt-hours.

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments
and information to enable it to: (i)
Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (ii) evaluate the
accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (iv) minimize the burden
of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses. 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. At that time, EPA
will issue another Federal Register
notice to announce the submission of
the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
Abstract: With this ICR renewal, EPA
is seeking permission to continue
recordkeeping and reporting
requirements to authorize renewable
fuel producers using certain foreigngrown feedstocks to use an aggregate

biomass verification provisions, akin to
that applicable to producers using crops
and crop residue grown in the United
States. For this authorization, foreign
based entities may petition EPA for
approval of the aggregate compliance
approach for specified renewable fuel
feedstocks either in a foreign country as
a whole or in a specified geographical
area. This petition request for the
aggregate compliance approach for
foreign-grown crops and crop residue is
voluntary, though, if approved by EPA,
will offer the benefit that certain
renewable biomass produced in a
foreign country or geographical area can
be counted as feedstock to make
renewable fuel for credit under the
Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS2)
program in 40 CFR Part 80.
Form numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: 15.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Voluntary.
Estimated number of respondents: 15
(total).
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 200 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $22,794 (per
year), includes no annualized capital or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in estimates: There is no
increase of hours in the total estimated
respondent burden compared with the
ICR currently approved by OMB. The
respondent universe and responses also
remained the same in this collection.
There was in increase in cost to the
industry of $8,598 per year due to better
numbers used to calculate the industry
burden and to account for inflation.
