SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Application for Department of the Army Permit; ENG 4345 and Nationwide Permit (NWP) PreConstruction Notification form, ENG Form 6082; OMB Control Number 0710– 0003. Needs and Uses: Information collected is used to evaluate, as required by law, proposed construction or filing in waters of the United States that result in impacts to the aquatic environment and nearby properties, and to determine which type of permit would be required if one was needed. Respondents are private landowners, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies. Respondents also include sponsors of proposed and approved mitigation banks and in-lieu fee programs. Affected Public: Individuals or households; business or other for-profit; not-for-profit institutions; farms; Federal government; state, local, or tribal government. Annual Burden Hours: 880,000. Number of Respondents: 80,000. Responses per Respondent: 1. Average Burden per Response: 11 hours. Frequency: On occasion. The Corps of Engineers is required by three federal laws, passed by Congress, to regulate construction-related activities in waters of the United States. This is accomplished through the review of applications for permits to do this work. There are five types of permits that may be used. The ENG 4345 form used for standard permit applications has been in use since the 1970s and the request to extend the expiration date is being provided in this notice. In addition, the Corps is now proposing a form specific to their nationwide permit program. Nationwide Permits (NWPs) are one type of permit authorization that involves a streamlined review process to ensure that no more than minimal individual or cumulative adverse environmental effect result from construction of the proposed activity. NWPs authorize discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and structures or work in navigable waters under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. This form is optional, but allows the Corps to collect the information needed to evaluate the applicants’ proposal to determine eligibility for authorization. The Corps will provide outreach PO 00000 Frm 00051 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 19261 materials to guide the public in which of the forms should be used and how using the form and providing the information requested can reduce the time it takes to review whether an application is complete.

ACTION: Notice of proposed revised rules of procedure.

DATES: Anyone wishing to comment on the proposed revised rules of procedure must file such comments no later than 5:00 p.m. PDT on June 4, 2018. ADDRESSES: Comments should be submitted through Bonneville’s website at www.bpa.gov/comment. Comments may also be submitted to BPA Public Involvement, Bonneville Power Administration, P.O. Box 14428, Portland, Oregon 97293. Bonneville requests that all comments contain the designation RP–18 in the subject line.

Jensen, Executive Vice President, General Counsel, is the official responsible for the development of Bonneville’s rules of procedure. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: Table of Contents Part I Introduction and Background Part II Summary of Proposed Revised Rules PO 00000 Frm 00052 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 of Procedure Part III Proposed Revised Rules of Procedure Part I—Introduction and Background The Northwest Power Act provides that Bonneville must establish and periodically review and revise its rates so that they recover, in accordance with sound business principles, the costs associated with the acquisition, conservation, and transmission of electric power, including amortization of the Federal investment in the Federal Columbia River Power System over a reasonable number of years, and Bonneville’s other costs and expenses. 16 U.S.C. 839e(a)(1). Section 7(i) of the Northwest Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 839e(i), requires that Bonneville’s rates be established according to certain procedures, including notice of the proposed rates; one or more hearings conducted as expeditiously as practicable by a hearing officer; opportunity for both oral presentation and written submission of views, data, questions, and arguments related to the proposed rates; and a decision by the Administrator based on the record. In addition, section 212(i)(2)(A) of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 824k(i)(2)(A), provides in part that the Administrator may conduct a section 7(i) hearing to determine the terms and conditions for transmission service on the Federal Columbia River Transmission System under certain circumstances. Such a hearing must adhere to the procedural requirements of paragraphs (1) through (3) of section 7(i) of the Northwest Power Act, except that the hearing officer makes a recommended decision to the Administrator before the Administrator’s final decision. Bonneville last revised its procedures to govern hearings under section 7(i) of the Northwest Power Act in 1986. See ‘‘Procedures Governing Bonneville Power Administration Rate Hearings,’’ 51 Federal Register 7611 (1986). Since the establishment of those procedures, there have been significant advancements in the technology available to conduct the hearings. The proposed revised rules of procedure incorporate changes to reflect the manner in which Bonneville has applied these advancements. In addition, through conducting numerous hearings over the past few decades, Bonneville has gained insight regarding the strengths and weaknesses of the current procedures. The proposed revisions incorporate changes to make the hearings more efficient and procedures that were regularly adopted by order of the hearing officer in E:\FR\FM\02MYN1.SGM 02MYN1
