SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Notice of Final Decision

    OSHA hereby gives notice of the expansion of the scope of
recognition for SolarPTL LLC (PTL). PTL's expansion covers the addition
of one test standard to the NRTL scope of recognition.
    OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies that the organization meets
the requirements specified in 29 CFR 1910.7. Recognition is an
acknowledgment that the organization can perform independent safety
testing and certification of the specific products covered within the
scope of recognition. Each NRTL's scope of recognition includes (1) the
type of products the NRTL may test, with each type specified by the
applicable test standard and (2) the recognized site(s) that has/have
the technical capability to perform the product-testing and product-
certification activities for test standards within the NRTL's scope.
Recognition is not a delegation or grant of government authority;
however, recognition enables employers to use products approved by the
NRTL to meet OSHA standards that require product testing and
certification.
    The agency processes applications by a NRTL for initial
recognition, as well as for an expansion or renewal of recognition,
following requirements in Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This appendix
requires that the agency publish two notices in the Federal Register in
processing an application. In the first notice, OSHA announces the
application and provides the preliminary finding. In the second notice,
the agency provides the final decision on the application. These
notices set forth the NRTL's scope of recognition or modifications of
that scope. OSHA maintains an informational web page for each NRTL,
including PTL, which details that NRTL's scope of recognition. These
pages are available from the OSHA website at http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html.
    PTL submitted an application, dated June 1, 2021 (OSHA-2010-0013-
0005), to expand recognition as a NRTL to include one additional test
standard. OSHA staff performed a detailed analysis of the application
packet and reviewed other pertinent information. OSHA performed an on-
site assessment related to this application on August 16-17, 2022,
where OSHA found nonconformances with the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.
PTL addressed the nonconformances adequately and OSHA has no objection
to the addition of this standard to the NRTL scope of recognition.
    OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing PTL's expansion
application in the Federal Register on October 23, 2023 (88 FR 72794).
The agency requested comments by November 7, 2023, but it received no
comments in response to this notice. OSHA now is proceeding with this
final notice to grant expansion of PTL's NRTL scope of recognition.
    To review copies of all public documents pertaining to PTL's
application, go to http://www.regulations.gov or contact the Docket
Office, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department
of Labor at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Docket No. OSHA-2010-0013 contains all
materials in the record concerning PTL's recognition. All submissions,
including copyrighted material, are available for inspection through
the OSHA Docket Office. Contact the OSHA Docket Office at (202) 693-
2350 for assistance in locating docket submissions.

II. Final Decision and Order

    OSHA staff examined PTL's expansion application, their capability
to meet the requirements of the test standard, and other pertinent
information. Based on its review of this evidence, OSHA finds that PTL
meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its
recognition, subject to the limitations and conditions listed below.
OSHA, therefore, is proceeding with this final notice to grant PTL's
scope of recognition. OSHA limits the expansion of PTL's recognition to
testing and certification of products for demonstration of conformance
to the test standard shown below in Table 1.

 Table 1--Appropriate Test Standard for Inclusion in PTL's NRTL Scope of
                               Recognition
------------------------------------------------------------------------
               Test standard                     Test standard title
------------------------------------------------------------------------
UL 3703...................................  Standard for Solar Trackers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    OSHA's recognition of any NRTL for a particular test standard is
limited to equipment or materials for which OSHA standards require
third-party testing and certification before using them in the
workplace. Consequently, if a test standard also covers any products
for which OSHA does not require such testing and certification, a
NRTL's scope of recognition does not include these products.

A. Conditions

    Recognition is contingent on continued compliance with 29 CFR
1910.7, including but not limited to,

abiding by the following conditions of recognition:
    1. PTL must inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any
change of ownership, facilities, or key personnel, and of any major
change in its operations as a NRTL, and provide details of the
change(s);
    2. PTL must meet all the terms of its recognition and comply with
all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and
    3. PTL must continue to meet the requirements for recognition,
including all previously published conditions on PTL's scope of
recognition, in all areas for which it has recognition.
    Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the
scope of recognition of PTL as a NRTL, subject to the limitations and
conditions specified above.

III. Authority and Signature

    James S. Frederick, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for
Occupational Safety and Health, 200 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington,
DC 20210, authorized the preparation of this notice. Accordingly, the
agency is issuing this notice pursuant to 29 U.S.C. 657(g)(2),

        Summary of EPA's Additional Visibility Improvement Modeling
      EPA performed additional modeling of NOx control scenarios for both BART and reasonable progress sources. All Region 8 modeling files are available upon request. Contact Laurel Dygowski at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>For baseline emissions, the BART Guidelines recommend that states use the maximum 24-hour average actual emission rate for the meteorological period being modeled.  The visibility modeling performed by PacifiCorp, and subsequently submitted by the state, deviates from this guidance by using the permit limit emission rates and maximum rated heat input to derive the modeled emission rates instead of the actual maximum 24-hour average. The visibility modeling performed by Basin Electric, and subsequently submitted by the state, also deviates from this guidance by using a baseline hourly emission rates derived from actual annual average heat input (MMBtu) and actual annual average emission rates (lb/MMBtu) from 2001-2003 continuous emissions monitoring (CEM) data.   For consistency, EPA's additional modeling to ascertain visibility improvements from individual NOx controls used the state's baseline emission rates for the Pacificorp sites and Basin Electric's Laramie River Station. All other aspects of EPA's additional visibility modeling followed the recommendations made in the BART Guidelines.
           The tables beginning on page 4 show the CALPUFF inputs used for each unit modeled. EPA's modeling modified the state of Wyoming's inputs in order to isolate the impact of different NOx control scenarios.  As seen in the tables, the NOx emission rates were varied across the different scenarios with the other input parameters held constant.  For the Pacificorp and Basin Electric BART sources, the inputs were derived from the state of Wyoming's BART Application Analyses that can be downloaded from the following website: http://deq.state.wy.us/aqd/309(g)%20Attachment%20A_January%202011%20Submittal.asp
EPA's modeling utilized the emission and stack parameter CALPUFF inputs from "Post-Control Scenario A" in the reports for its Scenarios 1-3 with the only difference between scenarios being the emission rate for NOx and, in the SCR scenarios, total sulfate rates were increased to account for the additional production that results from SCR controls.  EPA's "New Baseline" is essentially the state's "Post-Control Scenario A" but with the NOx emission rate from their "Baseline" scenario.  Table 1 summarizes the control scenarios from EPA's additional modeling for BART sources.
Table 1- Description of EPA control scenarios for Wyoming's BART sources
                                 EPA Scenario
                                  Description

Scenario 3
Post-Control Scenario A from state's BART Application Analysis with NOx emission rate that reflects the visibility improvement from SCR controls

EPA also performed additional modeling for Dave Johnston's Units 1 and 2.  These are considered reasonable progress sources and were not part of the state's BART Application Analyses.  EPA followed a similar approach for modeling these sources as used for the BART sources.  Permit limit emission rates with heat input were used to derive emission inputs in the "New Baseline" scenario.  Similar to the BART sources, the only differences in the control scenarios are the emission rates for NOx and, in the SCR scenario (Scenario 3), total sulfate rates were increased to account for the additional production that results from SCR controls. Stack parameter data for these sources was obtained from the Western Region Air Partnership's (WRAP) 2002 SMOKE input files.  Table 2 summarizes the control scenarios for EPA's reasonable progress source modeling.

Virterras Hydro Power, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On May 1, 2015, Virterras Hydro Power, Inc., filed an application
for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power
Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the Silver Creek
Pumped Storage Project to be located on Silver Creek Reservoir in
Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. The sole purpose of a preliminary
permit, if issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a
license application during the permit term. A preliminary permit does
not authorize the permit holder to perform any land-disturbing
activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others
without the owners' express permission.
    The proposed project would consist of the following: (1) A new
8,000-foot-long, 125- to 175-foot-high roller-compacted concrete or
rock-filled semi-circular dam and/or dike forming an upper reservoir
having a surface area of 150 acres and a total storage capacity between
approximately 8,000 and 10,000 acre-feet at a normal maximum water
surface elevation between approximately 1,650 and 1,750 feet above mean
sea level (msl); (2) a lower reservoir encompassing the existing Silver
Creek Reservoir and neighboring abandoned mines land and having a
surface area of 100 acres and a total storage capacity of 10,000 acre-
feet at a normal maximum water surface elevation between 1,200 and
1,300 feet msl; (3) a 3,000-foot-long tunnel connecting the upper and
lower reservoirs; (4) a powerhouse containing two turbine units with a
total rated capacity of 250 megawatts; (5) a 2-mile-long transmission
line connecting to an existing 230 kilovolt (kV) line or a 4000-foot-
long transmission line connecting to an existing 69-kV line; and (6)
appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would have an annual
generation of 784,750 megawatt-hours.
