The EPA received the Petition from
the Environmental Integrity Project and
Sierra Club dated July 25, 2017,
requesting that the EPA object to the
issuance of operating permit no. O2942,
issued by TCEQ to the Oak Grove Steam
Electric Station in Robertson County,
Texas. The Petition claims the proposed
permit omitted enforceable
requirements in Oak Grove’s written
Maintenance, Startup, and Shutdown
Plan, omitted limits and representations
in Oak Grove’s certified Permit by Rule
registrations, and failed to assure
compliance with emission limits and
operating requirements established by
Oak Grove’s New Source Review
permits, including Permits by Rule.
On October 15, 2021, the EPA
Administrator issued an Order granting
the Petition. The Order explains the
basis for EPA’s decision.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Federal Acquisition Regulation and
Code of Federal Regulation prescribe the
policies and procedures requiring
registration in the System for Award
Management database. Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart
4.11 prescribes policies and procedures
for requiring registration in the System
for Award Management (SAM) database
to: (1) Increase visibility of vendor
sources (including their geographical
locations) for specific supplies and
services; and (2) establish a common
source of vendor data for the
Government. The Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) at 2 CFR 25.200
prescribes policies and procedures for
requiring recipient registration in the
System for Award Management (SAM)
database.
In the past, the GSA Office of
Inspector General (OIG) conducted an
investigation into fraudulent activities
discovered within SAM. Certain bad
actors have, through electronic means,
used public information to impersonate
legitimate entities and established new
entity registrations for those entities in
SAM. By establishing fraudulent entity
registrations, bad actors submitted bids
in certain U.S. Government
procurement systems or shipped
deficient or counterfeit goods to the U.S.
Government.
GSA established an Information
Collection Request (ICR) to collect
additional information to support
increased validation of entities
registered in the System for Award

Management (SAM). This additional
information is contained in a notarized
letter in which an officer or other
signatory authority of the entity
formally appoints the administrator for
the entity when an administrator is not
available to perform that function for
that entity. The original, signed letter is
submitted electronically to the Federal
Service Desk (FSD) for SAM when an
administrator needs to be appointed for
an existing entity.
The new ICR expires December 31,
2021. GSA is actively pursuing
technical alternatives to the collection
of this information for all non-federal
entities. GSA seeks to refine the
requirement and adopt a risk-based
approach. This notice for an extension
of the ICR lays the groundwork for the
authority to continue collection of the
information provided GSA is still
pursuing the technical alternative
beyond the ICR expiration date. In the
interim, the collection of the notarized
letter information is essential to GSA’s
acquisition mission to meet the needs of
all federal agencies, as well as the needs
of the grant community. A key element
of GSA’s mission is to provide efficient
and effective acquisition solutions
across the Federal Government. SAM is
essential to the accomplishment of that
mission. In addition to federal contracts,
federal assistance programs also rely
upon the integrity and security of the
information in SAM. Without
assurances that the information in SAM
is protected and is at minimal risk of
compromise, GSA would risk losing the
confidence of the federal acquisition
and assistance communities which it
serves. As a result, some entities may
prefer not to do business with the
Federal Government.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Respondents: 686,400.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Total Annual Responses: 686,400.
Hours per Response: 2.25.
Total Burden Hours: 1,544,400.
The information collection allows
GSA to request the notarized letter and
apply this approach to new registrants
(an average of 7,200 per month) and to
existing SAM registrants (an average of
50,000 re-register per month).
Entities registered and registering in
SAM are provided the template for the
requirements of the notarized letter. It is
estimated that the Entity Administrator
will take on average 0.5 hour to create
the letter and 0.25 hour to submit an
electronic copy of the letter to FSD. GSA
proposes that an Entity Administrator
equivalent to a GS–5, Step 5
Administrative Support person within
the Government would perform these

tasks. The estimated hourly rate of
$24.70 (Base + Locality + Fringe) was
used for the calculation.
Based on historical data of the ratio of
small entities to other than small
entities registering in SAM, GSA
approximates 32,200 of the 57,200 new
and existing entities (re-registrants) will
have in-house resources to notarize
documents. GSA proposes that the
entities with in-house notaries will
typically be large businesses where the
projected salary of the executive or
officer responsible for signing the
notarized letter is on average
approximately $150 per hour. The
projected time for signature and
notarizing the letter internally is 0.5
hour.
The other remaining 25,000 new and
existing entities (re-registrants) per
month are estimated to be small entities
where the projected salary of the
executive or officer responsible signing
the notarized letter is on average
approximately $100 per hour. These
entities will more than likely have to
obtain notary services from an outside
source. The projected time for signature
and notarizing the letter externally is 1
hour. The estimate includes a nominal
fee ($5.00) usually charged by thirdparty notaries.
