also serve a copy of the document on
that resource agency.
k. Description of Request: The
applicant requests Commission
approval for a temporary variance from
the reservoir elevation requirements at
Lake Shafer which is part of the Norway
Development. Due to the severe regional
drought conditions and low river flow
on the Tippecanoe River, the applicant
is currently operating the project under
abnormal river conditions and requests
a variance from the allowable elevation
at Lake Shafer (maintain fluctuation
within of 0.25 feet below elevation
647.47 feet National Geodetic Vertical
Datum) so that it can continue to meet
the flow requirements from the
downstream Lake Freeman (part of the
Oakdale Development) to protect the
federally endangered mussel species.
Although the duration of drought
conditions are difficult to predict, the
applicant requests the temporary
variance to remain into effect until
March 31, 2022, which is when winter
weather conditions typically begin to
subside and will produce sufficient flow
from melting snow and ice to allow
Lake Shafer to return to its normal
elevation.

a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control

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

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: In 2001, EPA’s Energy
Supply and Industry Branch (ESIB)
launched two partnership programs
with industry and other stakeholders:
The Green Power Partnership (GPP) and
the Combined Heat and Power
Partnership (CHPP). These voluntary
partnership programs, along with others
in the ESIB, encourage organizations to
invest in clean, efficient energy
technologies, including renewable
electricity and combined heat and
power. To continue to be successful, it
is critical that EPA collect information
from these program stakeholders to
ensure these organizations are meeting
their clean energy goals and to assure
the credibility of these voluntary nonregulatory programs.
EPA has developed this ICR to obtain
authorization to collect information
from organizations participating in the
GPP and CHPP, and other ESIB
voluntary programs. Organizations that
join these programs voluntarily agree to
the following respective actions: (1)
Designating a Green Power or CHP
liaison and filling out a Partnership
Agreement or Letter of Intent (LOI)
respectively, (2) for the GPP, reporting
to EPA, on an annual basis, their
progress toward their green power
commitment via a 3-page reporting
form; (3) for the CHP Partnership,
reporting to EPA information on their
existing CHP projects, new project
development, and other CHP-related
activities via a one-page reporting form
(for projects) or via an informal email or
phone call (for other CHP-related
activities). In addition to these actions,
organizations may voluntarily apply for
recognition to the programs’ established
annual recognition events, which
require submitting additional
information. EPA uses the data obtained
from its Partners to assess the success of
these programs in achieving their
national energy and greenhouse gas
(GHG) reduction goals. Partners are
organizational entities that have
