seven public meetings and a public
webinar to describe the project and
accept comments. TVA received about
300 comment submissions signed by
about 1,270 individuals and
organizations. After considering and
responding to these comments, further
evaluating the alternative strategies, and
developing the Target Power Supply
Mix, TVA issued the Final IRP and EIS.
The NOA for the Final IRP and EIS was
published in the Federal Register on
July 5, 2019 (84 FR 31268).
Following the publication of the NOA
for the Final IRP and EIS, TVA received
about 1,000 public comments via a form
email through a Sierra Club campaign.
These comments reiterated comments
received on the Draft IRP and EIS and
urged TVA to adopt the greatest amount
of DER and renewable energy in the
Target Power Supply Mix. Over 400 of
these messages included statements
added by the commenters. These
statements did not raise issues of
relevance to this IRP that were not
previously raised in the comments on
the Draft IRP and EIS and addressed by
TVA in Appendix F of the Final EIS.
Environmentally Preferable Alternative
All of the alternative strategies, as
well as the Target Power Supply Mix,
have several common features that affect
their anticipated environmental
impacts. No baseload generation is
added, but there is a need for new
capacity in all scenarios to replace
expiring or retiring capacity. Solar
expansion plays a substantial role in all
scenarios, and gas, storage and demand
response additions provide reliability
and/or flexibility. Emissions of air
pollutants, including carbon dioxide,
the intensity of carbon dioxide
emissions, water use and consumption,
and generation of coal waste decrease
under all strategies. Although the
differences between Strategies A
through E are small, the impacts to most
environmental resources are greatest for
Strategy A (the No Action alternative)
and least for Strategy C (Promote
Resiliency), followed closely by
Strategies B, D and E. The impacts of the
Target Power Supply Mix span the
range of Strategies A through E for most
environmental and socioeconomic
resources. An exception is the impact to
land use, quantified as the land area
needed to accommodate new generating
and storage facilities, which is
potentially greatest under the Target
Power Supply Mix with the addition of
up to 14,000 MW of solar capacity
occupying up to about 103,000 acres (in
a high-load forecast scenario). Under all
strategies and the Target Power Supply
Mix, at least 97 percent of the land area

required for new generating and storage
facilities would be occupied by solar
facilities. Compared to other types of
generation, the impacts of solar facilities
to land-based resources are relatively
small and of shorter duration as
described in Sections 5.2.3 and 5.5.5 of
the Final EIS. Given these conditions,
Strategy C is the environmentally
preferable alternative.
Decision
On August 22, 2019, the TVA Board
of Directors adopted the preferred
alternative, the Target Power Supply
Mix. The Board also directed staff to
monitor future developments to help
determine when deviations from the
recommended resource ranges should
be made and to initiate an update to the
IRP no later than 2024 and earlier if
future developments make this
appropriate.
Mitigation Measures
The reduction of environmental
impacts was an important goal in TVA’s
integrated resource planning process
and all of the alternatives assessed by
TVA do that. Because this is a
programmatic review, measures to
reduce potential environmental impacts
on a site-specific level were not
identified. As TVA deploys specific
energy resources, it will review and take
measures to reduce their potential
environmental impacts as appropriate.
TVA’s siting process for generation and
transmission facilities, as well as
processes for modifying these facilities,
are designed to avoid and/or minimize
potential adverse environmental
impacts.
Potential impacts will also be reduced
through pollution prevention measures
and environmental controls such as air
pollution control systems, wastewater
treatment systems, and thermal
generating plant cooling systems. Other
potentially adverse unavoidable impacts
will be mitigated by measures such as
compensatory wetlands mitigation,
payments to in-lieu stream mitigation
programs and related conservation
initiatives, enhanced management of
other properties, documentation and
recovery of cultural resources, and
infrastructure improvement assistance
to local communities.

collection. The collection involves the
collection of information related to rules
governing Helicopter Air Ambulance,
Commercial Helicopter, and Part 91
Helicopter Operations. The information
to be collected supports the Department
of Transportation’s strategic goal of
safety. Specifically, the goal is to
promote the public health and safety by
working toward the elimination of
transportation-related deaths and
injuries.

Form Numbers: 2120–0756,
Helicopter Air Ambulance Mandatory
Flight Information Report.
Type of Review: Renewal of an
information collection.
Background: These requirements in
part 135 are addressed specifically to
helicopter air ambulances, often referred
to as emergency medical services (EMS),
and to on-demand operations including
overwater operations. The National
Transportation Safety Board
recommended several changes following
accident investigations. The FAA aims
to improve the safety record of
helicopter air ambulances through better
oversight of their operations. The FAA
will use the information it collects and
reviews to ensure compliance and
adherence with regulations and, if
necessary, to take enforcement action on
violators of the regulations.
Under the authority of Title 49 CFR,
Section 44701, Title 14 CFR prescribes
the terms, conditions, and limitations as
are necessary to ensure safety in air
transportation. Title 14 CFR parts 91
and 135 prescribes the requirements
governing helicopter air ambulance,
commercial helicopter, and Part 91
helicopter operations. The information
collected is used to determine air
operators’ compliance with the
minimum safety standards and the
applicants’ eligibility for air operations
certification. Each operator which seeks
to obtain, or is in possession of an
operating certificate, must comply with
the requirements of part 91 or 135, as
applicable, which include maintaining
data which is used to determine if the
air carrier is operating in accordance
with minimum safety standards.
Respondents: Part 135 Helicopter Air
Ambulance Operators, Part 135
Helicopter Commercial Operators, or
Part 91 Helicopter Operators.
Frequency: On Occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: Varies by Response Type.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
132,639 Hours.
