Notice of Proposed Information Collection Request; Indoor airPLUS Program, 49459-49460 [2023-16195]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 145 / Monday, July 31, 2023 / Notices WAPA.7 In 1977, section 302 of 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.8 Under this authority, WAPA markets Federal hydropower. As part of WAPA’s marketing authority, WAPA needs to obtain information from interested entities who desire an allocation of Federal power using the APD form. The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 requires WAPA to obtain a clearance from OMB before collecting this information through the APD form.9 ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 II. This Process Determines the Format of the APD and Is Not a Call for Applications This public process and the associated Federal Register notice only determine the information that WAPA will collect from an entity desiring to apply for a Federal power allocation. This public process is a legal requirement that WAPA must fulfill before WAPA can request information from potential preference customers. This public process is not the process whereby interested parties request an allocation of Federal power. The actual allocation of power is outside the scope of this proceeding. Please do not submit a request for Federal power in this process. Later, and as appropriate, WAPA will issue calls for applications as part of project-specific marketing plans. When WAPA issues a call for applications, the information WAPA proposes to collect is voluntary. WAPA will use the information collected, in conjunction with its project–specific marketing plans, to determine an entity’s eligibility, and ultimately which entities will receive an allocation of Federal power. III. Invitation for Comments WAPA intends to extend and reuse the APD form approved under OMB control number 1910–5136. The extension would continue use of the form through March 31, 2027. WAPA is proposing some ministerial changes to the APD. The proposed APD form, including a list of ministerial changes and the reason for such changes, is available on WAPA’s website at https:// www.wapa.gov/PowerMarketing/Pages/ 7 See, e.g., United States v. Sacramento Mun. Util. Dist., 652 F.2d 1341, 1345 n.4 (9th Cir. 1981) (citing N. Cal. Power Agency v. Morton, 396 F. Supp. 1187, 1189 (D.D.C. 1975).

Comments are invited on: (1) whether the extended collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on applicants, including the use of automated electronic, mechanical or other collection techniques, or other forms of information technology. After considering all public comments, WAPA will publish a second notice in the Federal Register submitting the APD to OMB.
