Western Area Power Administration
Agency Information Collection
Extension
Western Area Power
Administration, DOE.
ACTION: Submission for Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) review;
comment request.
AGENCY:
The Department of Energy
(DOE) has submitted an information
collection request to the OMB for
extension under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The
information collection requests a threeyear extension of Western Area Power
Administration’s (WAPA) Applicant
Profile Data (APD), OMB Control
Number 1910–5136. The proposed
collection is necessary for the proper
performance of WAPA’s functions.
WAPA markets a limited amount of
Federal hydropower. Due to the high
demand for WAPA’s power, WAPA
needs the ability to collect information
under the information collection request
in order to evaluate who may receive an
allocation of Federal power pursuant to
SUMMARY:

specific marketing plans. This APD
public process only determines the
information WAPA will collect in its
information collection request. The
actual allocation of Federal power will
be conducted through a separate
marketing plan process outside the
scope of this APD process.
DATES: Comments regarding this
collection must be received on or before
November 6, 2020. If you anticipate that
you will be submitting comments, but
find it difficult to do so within the
period of time allowed by this notice,
please advise the OMB Desk Officer of
your intention to make a submission as
soon as possible. The Desk Officer may
be telephoned at (202) 395–4718.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Erin Green, Power Marketing and
Energy Services Specialist, Western
Area Power Administration, P.O. Box
281213, Lakewood, CO 80228,
telephone (720) 962–7016, or email
egreen@wapa.gov. The proposed APD
form is available on WAPA’s website at
www.wapa.gov/PowerMarketing/Pages/
applicant-profile-data.aspx.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information collection request contains:
(1) OMB No.: 1910–5136; (2)
Information Collection Request Title:
Western Area Power Administration
(WAPA) Applicant Profile Data; (3)
Type of Review: Renewal; (4) Purpose:
WAPA is collecting—and will continue
to collect—the data under its APD to
properly perform its function of
marketing a limited amount of Federal
hydropower. The information WAPA
collects is voluntary. Due to the high
demand for WAPA’s power and limited
amount of available power, WAPA will
use the information collected in the
APD—and has used the information
collected under the current OMBapproved control number—pursuant to
its marketing plans, to determine an
applicant’s eligibility for an allocation
of Federal power. As a result, the
information WAPA collects under its
APD is both necessary and useful.
WAPA notes the Paperwork Reduction
Act is the process whereby WAPA
obtains approval from OMB to collect
information from the public. It is a legal
requirement WAPA must comply with
before requesting an interested party

submit an application for power. The
Paperwork Reduction Act process is not
the process in which interested parties
apply for a new allocation of Federal
power. The allocation of power from
WAPA is outside the scope of this
process and is completed in a separate
marketing plan process by each WAPA
region, when required; (5) Annual
Estimated Number of Respondents:

Statutory Authority: Reclamation
Laws are a series of laws arising from
the Desert Land Act of 1877 and
include, but are not limited to: The
Desert Land Act of 1877, Reclamation
Act of 1902, Reclamation Project Act of
1939, and the Acts authorizing each
individual project such as the Central
Valley Project Authorizing Act of 1937.
See Ch. 107, 19 stat. 377 (1877), Ch.
1093, 32 Stat. 388 (1902), Ch. 418, 53
Stat. 1187 (1939), Ch. 832, 50 Stat. 844,
850 (1937), all as amended and
supplemented. The Reclamation Act of
1902 established the Federal
reclamation program. See Ch. 1093, 32
Stat. 388 (1902), as amended and
supplemented. The basic principle of
the Reclamation Act of 1902 was that
the United States, through the Secretary
of the Interior, would build and operate
irrigation works from the proceeds of
public land sales in the sixteen arid
Western states (a seventeenth was later
added). The Reclamation Project Act of
1939 expanded the purposes of the
reclamation program and specified
certain terms for contracts that the
Secretary of the Interior enters into to
furnish water and power. See Ch. 418,
53 Stat. 1187 (1939), as amended and
supplemented. In 1977, the Department
of Energy Organization Act transferred
the power marketing functions of the
Department of the Interior to the
Secretary of Energy, acting by and
through a separate Administrator for
WAPA. See 42 U.S.C. 7152(a)(1)(D).
Section 5 of the Flood Control Act of
1944 is read in pari materia with
Reclamation Laws with respect to
WAPA. See Act of December 22, 1944,
Ch. 665, 58 Stat. 887, as amended and
supplemented.

the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) of 1969. NEPA requires that
each federal agency evaluate the impact
of ‘‘major actions significantly affecting
the quality of the human environment.’’
It is the FCC’s opinion that this is the
most efficient and reasonable method of
complying with NEPA with regard to
the environmental issue of
radiofrequency radiation from FCCregulated transmitters.
The December 2019 RF Exposure
Second Report and Order, ET Docket
Nos. 03–137 and 13–184, FCC 19–126,
amended §§ 1.1307, 2.1091 and 2.1093
requiring approval by OMB under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (85 FR 18131,
April 1, 2020). The Commission
subsequently stated that the
amendments to these rules affects
information collections under the
Paperwork Reduction Act. 85 FR 33578
(June 2, 2020). Revision to information
collection effected by amendments to
§§ 2.1091 and 2.1093 is reported
separately under OMB Information
Collection 3060–0057.
In amended § 1.1307, the Commission
revised its implementing rules to reflect
modern technology and current uses.
The Commission streamlined the
criteria for determining when an
applicant or licensee is exempt from our
radio frequency (RF) exposure
evaluation criteria by replacing servicebased exemptions with a formula-based
approach. For those applicants and
licensees who do not qualify for an
exemption, the Commission provided
more flexibility to establish compliance
with our RF exposure limits. The
Commission also specified methods that
RF equipment operators can use to
mitigate the risk of excess exposure,
both to members of the public and
trained workers (such as training,
supervision, and signage). The amended
rules provide more efficient, practical,
and consistent RF exposure evaluation
procedures and mitigation measures to
help ensure compliance with the
existing RF exposure limits.
Most of the changes to § 1.1307
represent clarification or simplification
of existing requirements and are not
expected to significantly increase or
decrease the estimated burden to
respondents or to the Federal
government. To address components of
the amended requirements that were not
included in previous burden estimates,
isolated revisions were made to the
burden estimates as summarized in the
supporting statement of the Information
Collection. To update burden estimates
based on most recently available data,
the Commission also adjusted the total
number of respondents/responses, the
total annual hourly burden, and the
