Davis and Weber Counties Canal
Company; Notice of Preliminary
Determination of a Qualifying Conduit
Hydropower Facility and Soliciting
Comments and Motions To Intervene
On April 27, 2018, Davis and Weber
Counties Canal Company filed a notice
of intent to construct a qualifying
conduit hydropower facility, pursuant
to section 30 of the Federal Power Act
(FPA), as amended by section 4 of the
Hydropower Regulatory Efficiency Act
21771
of 2013 (HREA). The proposed Canal
Station 603+00 Micro-hydropower
Project would have an installed capacity
up to 8 kilowatts (kW), and would be
located along the four-foot wide by sixfoot long section of the open irrigation
canal. The project would be located near
the Town of Sunset in Davis County,
Utah.

Qualifying Conduit Hydropower
Facility Description: The proposed
project would consist of: (1) Two new
generating units plus two future units,
approximately four-foot wide by six-foot
long, placed in an open channel of the
Davis & Weber Canal with a total
generating capacity of up to 8 kW; and
(2) appurtenant facilities. The proposed
project would have an estimated annual
generation of 17.5 megawatt-hours, and
may include two additional units in the
future.
A qualifying conduit hydropower
facility is one that is determined or
deemed to meet all of the criteria shown
in the table below.
TABLE 1—CRITERIA FOR QUALIFYING CONDUIT HYDROPOWER FACILITY
Statutory provision
Description
Satisfies
(Y/N)
FPA 30(a)(3)(A), as amended by HREA ...
The conduit the facility uses is a tunnel, canal, pipeline, aqueduct, flume, ditch, or
similar manmade water conveyance that is operated for the distribution of water for
agricultural, municipal, or industrial consumption and not primarily for the generation of electricity.
The facility is constructed, operated, or maintained for the generation of electric
power and uses for such generation only the hydroelectric potential of a non-federally owned conduit.
The facility has an installed capacity that does not exceed 5 megawatts .....................
On or before August 9, 2013, the facility is not licensed, or exempted from the licensing requirements of Part I of the FPA.

FPA 30(a)(3)(C)(ii), as amended by HREA

Preliminary Determination: The
proposed hydroelectric project will
utilize the Davis and Weber Canal, the
primary purpose of which is to deliver
agricultural and irrigation water to
Davis and Weber counties. The addition
of the Canal Station 603+00 Microhydropower Project will not alter the
conduit’s primary purpose. Therefore,
based upon the above criteria,
Commission staff preliminarily
determines that the proposal satisfies
the requirements for a qualifying
conduit hydropower facility, which is
not required to be licensed or exempted
from licensing.

Allocations of Cross-State Air

ACTION:
Notice of data availability.
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is providing notice of the
availability of data on emission
allowance allocations to certain units
under the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule
(CSAPR) trading programs. EPA has
completed preliminary calculations for
the first round of allocations of
allowances from the CSAPR new unit
set-asides (NUSAs) for the 2018 control
periods and has posted spreadsheets
containing the calculations on EPA’s
website. EPA will consider timely
objections to the preliminary
calculations (including objections
concerning the identification of units
eligible for allocations) before
determining the final amounts of the
first-round allocations.
DATES: Objections to the information
referenced in this notice must be
received on or before June 11, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Submit your objections via
email to CSAPR_NUSA@epa.gov.
Include ‘‘2018 NUSA allocations’’ in the
email subject line and include your
name, title, affiliation, address, phone
number, and email address in the body
of the email.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions concerning this action should
be addressed to Kenon Smith at (202)
343–9164 or smith.kenon@epa.gov or
Jason Kuhns at (202) 564–3236 or
kuhns.jason@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under
each CSAPR trading program where
EPA is responsible for determining
emission allowance allocations, a
portion of each state’s emissions budget
for the program for each control period
is reserved in a NUSA (and in an
additional Indian country NUSA in the
case of states with Indian country
within their borders) for allocation to
certain units that would not otherwise
receive allowance allocations. The
procedures for identifying the eligible
units for each control period and for
allocating allowances from the NUSAs
and Indian country NUSAs to these
units are set forth in the CSAPR trading
program regulations at 40 CFR 97.411(b)
and 97.412 (NOX Annual), 97.511(b) and
97.512 (NOX Ozone Season Group 1),
97.611(b) and 97.612 (SO2 Group 1),
97.711(b) and 97.712 (SO2 Group 2), and
97.811(b) and 97.812 (NOX Ozone
Season Group 2). Each NUSA allowance
allocation process involves up to two
rounds of allocations to eligible units,
termed ‘‘new’’ units, followed by the
allocation to ‘‘existing’’ units of any
allowances not allocated to new units.
This notice concerns preliminary
calculations for the first round of NUSA
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00011

allowance allocations for the 2018
control periods. Generally, the
allocation procedures call for each
eligible unit to receive a first-round
2018 NUSA allocation equal to its 2017
emissions as reported under 40 CFR part
75 unless the total of such allocations to
all eligible units would exceed the
amount of allowances in the NUSA, in
which case the allocations are reduced
on a pro-rata basis.
The detailed unit-by-unit data and
preliminary allowance allocation
calculations are set forth in Excel
spreadsheets titled ‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_
2018_NOX_Annual_1st_Round_Prelim_
Data’’, ‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_2018_NOX_OS_
1st_Round_Prelim_Data’’, and ‘‘CSAPR_
NUSA_2018_SO2_1st_Round_Prelim_
Data,’’ available on EPA’s website at
https://www.epa.gov/csapr/new-unitset-aside-notices-data-availability-nusanoda-cross-state-air-pollution-rule. Each
of the spreadsheets contains a separate
worksheet for each state covered by that
program showing, for each unit
identified as eligible for a first-round
NUSA allocation, (1) the unit’s
emissions in the 2017 control period
(annual or ozone season as applicable),
(2) the maximum first-round 2018
NUSA allowance allocation for which
the unit is eligible (typically the unit’s
emissions in the 2017 control period),
(3) various adjustments to the unit’s
maximum allocation, many of which are
necessary only if the NUSA pool is
oversubscribed, and (4) the preliminary
calculation of the unit’s first-round 2018
NUSA allowance allocation.
Each state worksheet also contains a
summary showing (1) the quantity of
allowances initially available in that
state’s 2018 NUSA, (2) the sum of the
first-round 2018 NUSA allowance
allocations that will be made to new
units in that state, assuming there are no
corrections to the data, and (3) the
quantity of allowances that would
remain in the 2018 NUSA for use in
second-round allocations to new units
(or ultimately for allocation to existing
units), again assuming there are no
corrections to the data.
Objections should be strictly limited
to the data and calculations upon which
the NUSA allowance allocations are
based and should be emailed to the
address identified in ADDRESSES.
Objections must include: (1) Precise
identification of the specific data and/or
calculations the commenter believes are
inaccurate, (2) new proposed data and/
or calculations upon which the
commenter believes EPA should rely
instead to determine allowance
allocations, and (3) the reasons why
EPA should rely on the commenter’s
