Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Wisconsin; NSR Reform Regulations, Rule AM-06-04

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve certain revisions to Wisconsin's
prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) and non-attainment new
source review (NSR) construction permit programs submitted on May 25,
2006. On December 31, 2002, EPA published revisions to the federal PSD
and non-attainment NSR regulations. These revisions are commonly
referred to as ``NSR Reform'' regulations, which became effective on
March 3, 2003. These regulatory revisions include provisions for
determining baseline actual emissions, provisions for promulgating
actual-to-future actual methodology, provisions for establishing
Plantwide Applicability Limits (PALs), provisions for using the Clean
Unit test, and, provisions for using Pollution Control Projects (PCP).
    On June 24, 2005, the United States Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia Circuit (DC Circuit Court) issued its ruling on
challenges to the December 2002 NSR reform revisions. Although the
Court upheld most of EPA's rules, it vacated both the Clean Unit and
the PCP provisions. In addition, the Court remanded to EPA the
provision that requires recordkeeping and reporting for sources that
elect to use the actual-to-projected actual emission test only where
there is a reasonable possibility that a project may result in a
significant net emissions increase. EPA is currently working on
promulgating a rule that will clarify the reasonable possibility
provision. EPA's final decision with regard to the remand may require
Wisconsin to revise this portion of its rules to be consistent with
EPA's definition of reasonable possibility. The Wisconsin Department of
Natural Resources (WDNR) is seeking approval of rule AM-06-04 to
implement the NSR Reform provisions that have not been vacated by the
June 24, 2005, DC Circuit Court decision. This action affects major
stationary sources in Wisconsin that are subject to or potentially
subject to the PSD, and non-attainment NSR construction permit
programs.

II. What Is Being Addressed in This Document?

    We are proposing to approve rule AM-06-04 as a revision to the PSD
and non-attainment NSR construction permit programs for the State of
Wisconsin. EPA granted full approval to Wisconsin's non-attainment NSR
program on January 18, 1995 (60 FR 3538) and the approval became
effective on February 17, 1995. EPA granted final full approval to
Wisconsin's PSD program on May 27, 1999 (64 FR 28745), which became
effective on June 28, 1999.
    On December 31, 2002, EPA published revisions to the federal PSD
and non-attainment NSR regulations in 40 CFR Parts 51 and 52 (67 FR
80186). These revisions are commonly referred to as ``NSR Reform''
regulations and became effective on March 3, 2003. These regulatory
revisions included provisions for determining baseline actual
emissions, provisions for promulgating actual-to-future actual
methodology, provisions for establishing Plantwide Applicability Limits
(PALs), provisions for using the Clean Unit test, and, provisions for
using Pollution Control Projects (PCP). As stated in the December 31,
2002, EPA rulemaking, state and local permitting agencies must adopt
and submit revisions to their part 51 permitting programs implementing
the minimum program elements of that rulemaking no later than January
2, 2006 (67 FR 80240). With this submittal, Wisconsin requests approval
of program revisions that satisfy this requirement.
    WDNR originally prepared rule changes to adopt a version of the
federal rule revisions which were subsequently authorized by the
Wisconsin Natural Resources Board for public hearing in December 2003.
After the DC Circuit Court ruled on the challenges of the federal NSR
changes, WDNR moved forward to adopt those portions of the reform rules
that the Court upheld and clarify those portions that the Court
remanded back to EPA. WDNR submitted these regulatory revisions on May
22, 2006.

III. What Are the Changes That EPA Is Proposing To Approve?

Chapter NR 405--PSD rules

Section 1

NR 405.01(1) and (2)
    WDNR has amended the language for ``applicability'' and ``purpose''
to be more consistent with the language of the federal rule in Sec.
51.166(a)(7)(i) and (ii), respectively, of the federal rule.

Section 2

NR 405.02(1)(Intro) and (a) to (c)
    WDNR has amended the definition of ``actual emissions'' so that it
is more consistent with Sec.  51.166(b)(21)(i) of the federal rule.

Section 3

NR 405.02(1)(d)
    WDNR has rescinded section NR 405.02(1)(d), which is the portion of
the definition of ``actual emissions'' that discussed actual emissions
from electric utility steam generating units. The new provision under
the definition of ``Baseline actual emissions'', under section NR
405.02(2m)(b) addresses the average rate of emissions per year from
existing electric utility steam generating units. This is consistent
with Sec.  51.166(b)(47)(i) of the federal rule.

Section 4

NR 405.02(2m)
    WDNR has established the definition of ``baseline actual
emissions''. This is consistent with the definition in Sec.
51.166(b)(47) of the federal rule.

Section 5

NR 405.02(8) and (11)
    WDNR has amended the definition of ``Building, structure, facility,
or installation'' to reflect its use of the phrase ``regulated NSR
contaminant'' to replace ``air contaminant.'' WDNR has amended the
definition of ``construction'' so that it is more consistent with the
definition in Sec.  51.166(b)(8) of the federal rule.

Section 6

NR 405.02(11c), (11e) and (11j)
    WDNR has established the definitions of; ``Continuous emissions
monitoring system'' (CEMS), ``Continuous emissions rate monitoring
system'' (CERMS), and ``Continuous parameter monitoring system''
(CPMS). These definitions are consistent with Sec.  51.166(b)(43), (46)
and (45), respectively, of the federal rule.

Section 7

NR 405.02(12)
    WDNR has established the definition of ``emissions unit''. This is
consistent with the definition in Sec.  51.166(b)(7) of the federal
rule.

Section 8

NR 405.02(20m)
    WDNR has established the definition of ``Lowest Achievable Emission
Rate'' or ``LAER''. This is consistent with the definition in Sec.
51.166(b)(52) of the federal rule.

Section 9

NR 405.02(21) and (24)
    WDNR has modified the definitions of ``Major modification'' and
``Net emissions increase'' to be more consistent with Sec.
51.166(b)(2) and (b)(3), respectively, of the federal rule. WDNR has
also added the language for ``routine maintenance, repair, and
replacement'' under section NR 405.02(21), which makes the rule more
consistent with Sec.  51.166(b)(2)(iii) of the federal rule.

Section 10

NR 405.02(24j)
    WDNR has established the definition of ``Plant-wide applicability
limitation'' or ``PAL''. This is consistent with the definition in
Sec.  51.166(w)(2)(v) of the federal rule.

Section 11

NR 405.02(24m)
    WDNR has rescinded section NR 405.02(24m), the definition of
pollution control projects (PCPs). This provision was vacated by the
D.C. Circuit Court. Therefore, WDNR is making its rules consistent with
the Court's decision.

Section 12

NR 405.02(25b), (25d), (25e), (25f)(a) and (25i)
    WDNR has established the definitions of, ``Predictive emissions
monitoring system (PEMS)'', ``PSD program'', ``Project'', ``Projected
actual emissions'', and ``Regulated NSR air contaminant''. These
definitions are consistent with Sec.  51.166(b)(44), (42), (51), (40),
(49), respectively, of the federal rule.

Section 13

NR 405.02(27)(a)8., 17., and 18.
    WDNR has rescinded sections NR 405.02(27)(a)8, 17, and 18. The
pollutants Mercury, Chlorofluorocarbons and Halons are not regulated by
the federal PSD rules. This is consistent with Sec.  51.166(b)(23)(i)
of the federal rule.

Section 14

NR 405.02(27m)
    WDNR has established the definition of ``significant emissions
increase''. This is consistent with Sec.  51.166(b)(39) of the federal
rule.

Section 15

NR 405.025
    WDNR has established a provision that provides a detailed
explanation of calculating increases in actual emissions from (1)
existing emission units, (2) new emission units, and (3) new and
existing emission units. This provision addresses actual emissions and
baseline actual emissions. This is consistent with the ``actual-to-
projected actual applicability test'' provisions that can be found at
Sec.  51.166(a)(7)(iv)(c), (d), and (f) of the federal rule.

Section 16

NR 405.16(3) and (4)
    WDNR has added language regarding sources that choose to use the
actual-to-projected actual applicability test and do not trigger PSD.
WDNR specifies recordkeeping and reporting requirements for all sources
that elect to use the applicability test. The federal rules require a
source to follow the recordkeeping and reporting requirements in this
section if there is a ``reasonable possibility'' that a source may
exceed the projected actual emissions. The ``reasonable possibility''
clause of this provision of the federal rule was remanded to EPA in the
June 24, 2005, DC Circuit Court ruling. State of New York et al. v.
EPA, 413 F.3d 3 (DC Cir. 2005). At this time, EPA has not responded to
the remand order and this provision remains a part of the federal rule.
See 40 CFR 51.166(r)(6). As Wisconsin's requirement of recordkeeping
and reporting for all facilities using the actual-to-projected actual
applicability test is more stringent than the federal rule, we propose
to approve this approach.

Chapter NR 408--Nonattainment Major NSR Program

Section 18

NR 408.02(1)
    WDNR has established the definition of ``Actual emissions''. This
is consistent with the definition in Sec.  51.165(a)(1)(xii) of the
federal rule.

Section 19

NR 408.02(2m)
    WDNR has established the definition of ``Baseline actual
emissions''. This is consistent with the definition in Sec.
51.165(a)(1)(xxxv) of the federal rule.

Section 20

NR 408.02(4), (5), and (11)
    WDNR has established the definitions of ``Best available control
technology'' or ``BACT'', ``Building, structure, facility or
installation'', and ``Construction''. These definitions are consistent
with the definitions in Sec. Sec.  51.165(a)(1)(xl), 51.165(a)(1)(ii),
and 51.165(a)(1)(xviii), respectively, of the federal rule.

Section 21

NR 408.02(11e), (11m) and (11s)
    WDNR has established the definitions of; ``Continuous emissions
monitoring system'' or ``CEMS'', ``Continuous emissions rate monitoring
system'' or ``CERMS'', and ``Continuous parameter monitoring system''
or ``CPMS''. These definitions are consistent with Sec.
51.165(a)(1)(xxxi), (xxxiv) and (xxxiii), respectively, of the federal
rule.

Section 22

NR 408.02(13)
    WDNR has established the definition of ``emissions unit''. This is
consistent with the definition in Sec.  51.165(a)(1)(vii) of the
federal rule.

Section 23

NR 408.02(13m)
    WDNR has established the definition of ``federal land manager''.
This is consistent with the definition in Sec.  51.165(a)(1)(xlii) of
the federal rule.

Section 24

NR 408.02(20)
    WDNR has established the definition of ``major modification''. This
is consistent with the definition in Sec.  51.165(a)(1)(v) of the
federal rule. WDNR has also added the language for ``routine
maintenance, repair, and replacement'' under section NR 408.02(20),
which makes the rule more consistent with Sec.  51.165(a)(1)(v)(C) of
the federal rule.

Section 25

NR 408.02(21)(a)1.(Intro)
    WDNR has modified this paragraph so that ``air pollutants'' are now
``air contaminants''. WDNR's rules are replacing ``pollutants'' with
``contaminants'', and the criteria pollutants are referred to as; ``NSR
air contaminants''.

Section 26

NR 408.02(23)
    WDNR has modified the definition of ``net emissions increase'' to
be more consistent with Sec.  51.165(a)(1)(vi) of the federal rule.

Section 27

NR 408.02(24m) and (25s)
    WDNR has established the definitions for ``nonattainment major new
source review'' and ``plant-wide applicability limitation''. These
definitions are consistent with Sec. Sec.  51.165(a)(1)(xxx) and Sec.
51.165(f)(2)(v), respectively, of the federal rule.

Section 28

NR 408.02(27)
    WDNR has rescinded the existing PCP provision, which is consistent
with the federal rules.

Section 29

NR 408.02(28e), (28j), (28m), (28s)(a), (29m), and (32m)
    WDNR has established the definition of; ``predictive emissions
monitoring

system'' or ``PEMS'', ``prevention of significant deterioration
permit'' or ``PSD Permit'', ``project'', ``projected actual
emissions'', ``regulated NSR air contaminant'', and ``significant
emissions increase''. These definitions are consistent with Sec. Sec.
51.165(a)(1)(xxxii), 51.165(a)(1)(xli), 51.165(a)(1)(xxxix),
51.165(a)(1)(xxviii), 51.165(a)(1)(xxxvii), and 51.165(a)(1)(xxvii),
respectively, of the federal rule. However, as a small deviation to
note, WDNR has chosen to refer to an NSR pollutant as an NSR air
contaminant.

Section 30

NR 408.025
    WDNR has established a provision that provides a detailed
explanation of calculating increases in actual emissions from (1)
existing emission units, (2) new emission units, and (3) new and
existing emission units. This provision addresses actual emissions and
baseline actual emissions. This is consistent with the ``actual-to-
projected actual applicability test'' provisions that can be found at
Sec.  51.165(a)(2)(ii)(C), (D), and (F) of the federal rule.

Section 31

NR 408.06(10)
    WDNR has established this provision consistent with Sec.
51.165(a)(3)(ii)(J) of the federal rule, regarding the total increase
in emissions resulting from a major modification.

Section 32

NR 408.10(5) and (6)
    WDNR has added language regarding sources that choose to use the
actual-to-projected actual applicability test and do not exceed the
significance threshold for any pollutant regulated by chapter NR 408.
WDNR specifies recordkeeping and reporting requirements for all sources
that elect to use the applicability test. The federal rules require a
source to follow the recordkeeping and reporting requirements in this
section if there is a ``reasonable possibility'' that a source may
exceed the projected actual emissions. The ``reasonable possibility''
clause of this provision of the federal rule has been remanded to EPA
in the June 24, 2005, DC Circuit Court ruling. State of New York et al.
v. EPA, 413 F.3d 3 (DC Cir. 2005). At this time, EPA has not responded
to the remand order and this provision remains a part of the federal
rule. See 40 CFR 51.165(a)(6). As Wisconsin's requirement of
recordkeeping and reporting for all facilities using the actual-to-
projected actual applicability test is more stringent than the federal
rule in that it applies to all sources and not just where there is a
``reasonable possibility'' that the source may exceed the projected
actual emissions, we propose to approve this approach.

Section 33

NR 408.11 PALs in Non-Attainment Areas
NR 408.11(1)
    This portion of 408.11 outlines the ``APPLICABILITY'' provision of
PALs. This provision is consistent with Sec.  51.165(f)(1) of the

NR 408.11(12)
    This section of 408.11 outlines the ``MONITORING REQUIREMENTS FOR
PALS'' provision of PALs. This provision is consistent with Sec.
51.165(f)(12) of the federal rule.
NR 408.11(13)
    This section of 408.11 outlines the ``RECORDKEEPING REQUIREMENTS''
provision of PALs. This provision is consistent with Sec.
51.165(f)(13) of the federal rule.
NR 408.11(14)
    This section of 408.11 outlines the ``REPORTING AND NOTIFICATION
REQUIREMENTS'' provision of PALs. This provision is consistent with

    This section of 408.11 outlines the ``TRANSITION REQUIREMENTS''
provision of PALs. This provision is consistent with Sec.
51.165(f)(15) of the federal rule.

Section 34

NR 484.04(21)
    This section is amended by WDNR so that the performance
specifications in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix B, are incorporated by
reference. Appendix B contains CEM performance specifications that are
required by chapters NR 405 and NR 408. We propose to approve this
provision into the SIP.

Section 35

NR 484.04(27m)
    This section was created by WDNR to incorporate by reference, 40
CFR part 82, Subpart A, for the ozone depleting substance list that
existed in the

Pollution Control Project provision that was in the original version of
the rules. The Pollution Control Project provision has been vacated.
However, this section will remain in the rules in case it is needed for
reference in the future. We propose to approve this provision into the
SIP.

Section 36

    This section states the date rule AM-06-04 becomes effective by
WDNR. The date will be the first day of the month following publication
in the Wisconsin administrative register. Also, WDNR will not publish
the rule until EPA approves it.

Section 37

    This section contains the date the rule is approved to be adopted
by the State of Wisconsin Natural Resources Board.

IV. What Action Is EPA Taking Today?

    EPA is proposing to approve into the Wisconsin State Implementation
Plan (SIP) the revisions to WDNR's PSD and Non-attainment NSR
construction permits program submitted by WDNR on May 25, 2006. These
revisions meet the minimum program requirements of the December 31,
2002, EPA NSR Reform rulemaking.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, September 30, 1993), this
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and therefore is not
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    This proposed rule does not impose an information collection burden
under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.).

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    This proposed action merely proposes to approve state law as
meeting federal requirements and imposes no additional requirements
beyond those imposed by state law. Accordingly, the Administrator
certifies that this proposed rule will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    Because this rule proposes to approve pre-existing requirements
under state law and does not impose any additional enforceable duty
beyond that required by state law, it does not contain any unfunded
mandate or significantly or uniquely affect small governments, as
described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4).

Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action also does not have Federalism implications because it
does not have substantial direct effects on the states, on the
relationship between the national government and the states, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August
10, 1999). This action merely proposes to approve a state rule
implementing a federal standard, and does not alter the relationship or
the distribution of power and responsibilities established in the Clean
Air Act.

Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments

    This proposed rule also does not have tribal implications because
it will not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian
tribes, on the relationship between the federal government and Indian
tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between
the federal government and Indian tribes, as specified by Executive
Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).

Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental Health
and Safety Risks

    This proposed rule also is not subject to Executive Order 13045
``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not economically
significant.

Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use

    Because it is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866 or is likely to have a significant adverse effect
on the supply, distribution, or the use of energy, this action is also
not subject to Executive Order 13211, ``Actions Concerning Regulations
That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001).

National Technology Transfer Advancement Act

    Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (NTTAA), 15 U.S.C. 272 note, requires federal agencies to
use technical standards that are developed or adopted by voluntary
consensus to carry out policy objectives, so long as such standards are
not inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. In
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. Absent a
prior existing requirement for the state to use voluntary consensus
standards, EPA has no authority to disapprove a SIP submission for
failure to use such standards, and it would thus be inconsistent with
applicable law for EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in place of
a program submission that otherwise satisfies the provisions of the
Clean Air Act. Therefore, the requirements of section 12(d) of the NTTA
do not apply.

List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 52

    Environmental protection, Air pollution control, Carbon monoxide,
Incorporation by reference, Intergovernmental relations, Lead, Nitrogen
dioxide, Ozone, Particulate matter, Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements, Sulfur oxides, Volatile organic compounds.

kilowatt, 5-meter-diameter axial flow turbine-generator units with a
total installed capacity of 0.525 megawatt, with underwater cables
connecting five triframe mounts to two shoreline switchgear vaults. The
project would operate using the natural tidal currents of the East
River, during both ebb and flood tidal periods. As the direction of
tidal flow changes, each turbine-generator unit would rotate (or yaw)
to align the rotor to the direction of flow, through a passive system
caused by hydrodynamic forces on the turbine-generator unit. The annual
generation is expected to be from 840 to 1,200 megawatt-hours.

Reports, Forms and Record Keeping Requirements Agency Information
Collection Activity Under OMB Review

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, DOT

ACTION: Request for public comment on proposed collection of
information.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this
notice announces that the Information Collection Request (ICR)
abstracted below has been forwarded to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The ICR describes the nature of
the information collections and their expected burden.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before September 26, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Coleman Sachs, Office of Vehicle
Safety Compliance (NEF-230), National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, West Building, 4th Floor, Room W45-205, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration.
    Title: Importation of Vehicles and Equipment Subject to the Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety, Bumper, and Theft Prevention Standards.
    OMB Number: 2127-0002.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement of an Expired Collection.
    Publication of 60-Day Notice: The Federal Register Notice with a
60-day comment period was published on March 2, 2018 (83 FR 9074).
    Abstract: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) has requested that OMB reinstate the agency's approval of the
information collection that is incident to NHTSA's administration of
the regulations at 49 CFR parts 591, 592, and 593 that govern the
importation of motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment. The
information collection includes declarations that are filed (on the HS-
7 Declaration form) with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) upon
the importation of motor vehicles or motor vehicle equipment that is
subject to Federal motor vehicle safety, bumper, and theft prevention
standards administered by NHTSA. The information collection also
includes the Department of Transportation (DOT) conformance bond that
is furnished to CBP (on form HS-474) for each motor vehicle offered for
importation that does not conform to all applicable Federal motor
vehicle safety standards (FMVSS). The bond ensures that such vehicles
are brought into conformity with those standards within 120 days from
the date of entry or are exported from, or abandoned to, the United
States. The information collection also includes paperwork that must be
submitted to NHTSA and in some instances retained by registered
importers (RIs) of motor vehicles that were not originally manufactured
to comply with all applicable FMVSS. These items include information
that a person or business entity must submit to NHTSA to be registered
as an RI and to retain that status. The paperwork also includes the
statement of conformity that an RI must submit to NHTSA following the
completion of conformance modifications on an imported nonconforming
vehicle to obtain release of the DOT conformance bond furnished for the
vehicle at the

time of entry. Also included is the petition that an RI or manufacturer
may submit to NHTSA for the agency to decide that a vehicle that was
not originally manufactured to comply with all applicable FMVSS is
capable of being modified to conform to those standards and is
therefore eligible for importation under 49 U.S.C. 30141. The
information collection also includes applications that are filed with
NHTSA for permission to import nonconforming vehicles for purposes of
research, investigations, demonstrations, training, competitive racing
events, and show or display, as well as applications requesting that
the agency recognize vehicles manufactured for racing purposes as being
qualified to be imported as vehicles that were not primarily
manufactured for use on public roads, precluding the need for those
vehicles to comply with the FMVSS. This information collection is
necessary to ensure that motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment
subject to the Federal motor vehicle safety, bumper, and theft
prevention standards are lawfully imported into the United States and
that RIs and applicants for RI status are capable of meeting their
obligations under the statutes and regulations governing the
importation of nonconforming vehicles.
    Affected Public: Individuals and commercial entities that import
motor vehicles or motor vehicle equipment subject to the FMVSS and
vehicles that are not primarily manufactured for use on public roads,
as well as applicants for RI status and existing RIs.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 252,622 hours; $9,880,590.

ADDRESS: Send comments, within 30 days, to the Office of Information
and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th
Street NW, Washington, DC 20503, Attention NHTSA Desk Officer.
    Comments are invited on: Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Department, including whether the information will have practical
utility; the accuracy of the Department's estimate of the burden of the
proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
    A comment to OMB is most effective if OMB receives it within 30
days of publication.

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications

    On December 10, 2012, West Street Hydro, Inc., filed an application
for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power
Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Ashuelot River Dam
Hydroelectric Project (project) to be located on the Ashuelot River,
near the City of Keene, Cheshire County, New Hampshire. 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: (1) The existing 160-foot-
long, 16-foot-high, stone-masonry Ashuelot Park Dam with a 134-foot-
long spillway; (2) an existing 34-acre impoundment with a normal
maximum water surface elevation of 472 feet above mean sea level; (3) a
new intake structure; (4) a new powerhouse containing two 43-killowatt
(kW) turbine-generating units for a total installed capacity of 86 kW;
(5) a new tailrace; (6) a new 330-foot-long, 34.5-kilovolt transmission
line; and (7) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation
of the project would be 360 megawatt-hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 20, 2007, OSHA published a
proposed rule to revise the standards on general working conditions in
shipyard employment (72 FR 72451). The deadline for submitting written
comments and hearing requests was March 19, 2008. OSHA received several
hearing requests and is scheduling hearings to begin on September 9,
2008, in Washington, DC, and October 21, 2008, in Seattle, WA. This
notice describes the procedures the public must use to participate in
the hearings.
    Informal public hearings--purpose, rules and procedures. OSHA
invites interested persons to participate in this rulemaking by
providing oral testimony and documentary evidence at the informal
public hearings. In particular, OSHA invites interested persons who
have knowledge of or experience with shipyard employment and the issues
the proposed rule raises to participate in the hearings. OSHA also
welcomes data and documentary evidence that will assist the Agency in
developing a complete and accurate record.
    Pursuant to section 6(b)(3) of the Occupational Safety and Health
Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 655), members of the public have an
opportunity for an informal public hearing on a proposed rule and the
issues it raises at which they may provide oral testimony and evidence.
An administrative law judge (ALJ) presides over the hearing and
resolves procedural matters relating to the hearing.
    The legislative history of section 6 of the OSH Act, as well as
OSHA's rules governing public hearings (29 CFR 1911.15), establish the
purpose and procedures of informal public hearings. Although the
presiding officer of such hearings is an ALJ and questioning of
witnesses is allowed on crucial issues, the proceeding is largely
informal and essentially legislative in purpose. Therefore, the hearing
provides interested persons with an opportunity to make oral
presentations in the absence of procedural restraints or rigid
procedures that could impede or protract the rulemaking process. In
addition, because the primary purpose of the hearing is to gather
information and clarify the record, it is an informal administrative
proceeding rather than an adjudicative one in which the technical rules
of evidence apply. OSHA's rules governing public hearings and the pre-
hearing guidelines that the ALJ issues for the hearings will ensure
fairness and due process for participants as well as facilitate the
development of a clear, accurate, and complete record. Accordingly,
application of these rules and guidelines will be such that questions
of relevance, procedure, and participation generally will be resolved
in favor development of the record.
    Conduct of the hearing will conform to OSHA's Rules of Procedure
for Promulgating, Modifying, or Revoking Occupational Safety and Health
Standards (29 CFR Part 1911). The rules also specify that the Assistant
Secretary may, on reasonable notice, issue additional or alternative
procedures to expedite the proceedings, to provide greater procedural
protections to interested persons or to further any other good cause
consistent with applicable law (29 CFR 1911.4). Although the ALJs who
preside over the hearings make no decisions or recommendations on the
merits of OSHA proposed rules, they do have the responsibility and
authority necessary to ensure that the hearing progresses at a
reasonable pace and in an orderly manner and to ensure that interested
persons receive a full and fair hearing. To effectuate that, ALJs have
the power to regulate the course of the proceedings; dispose of
procedural requests, objections, and comparable matters; confine
presentations to matters pertinent to the issues the proposed rule
raises; use appropriate means to regulate the conduct of persons
present at the hearing; question witnesses and permit others to do so;
limit the time for such questioning; and leave the record open for a
reasonable time after the hearing for the submission of additional
data, evidence, comments and arguments (29 CFR 1911.16).
    At the close of the hearing the ALJ will establish a post-hearing
comment period for interested persons who filed a timely notice of
intention to appear at the hearing. During the first part of the post-
hearing period, those persons may submit additional data and
information to OSHA. During the second part they may submit final
briefs, arguments, and summations.
    Notice of intention to appear at the hearing. Interested persons
who intend to participate in and provide oral testimony or documentary
evidence at the hearing must file a written notice of intention to
appear prior to the hearing. To testify or questions witnesses at
either the Washington, DC, or Seattle, WA, hearing, interested persons
must submit (transmit, send, postmark, deliver) their notice by July
18, 2008. The notice must provide the following information:
     Name, address, and telephone number of each individual who
will give oral testimony;
     Name of the establishment or organization each individual
represents, if any;
     Occupational title and position of each individual
testifying;
     Hearing location at which each individual wishes to appear
and testify;
     Approximate amount of time required for each individual's
testimony;
     A brief statement of the position each individual will
take with respect to the issues identified in the proposed rule; and
     A brief summary of documentary evidence each individual
intends to present.
    OSHA emphasizes that the hearings are open to the public; however,
only individuals who file a notice of intention to appear may question
witnesses and participate fully at the hearing. If time permits, and at
the discretion of the ALJ, an individual who did not file a notice of
intention to appear may be allowed to testify at the

hearing, but for no more than 10 minutes.
    Hearing testimony and documentary evidence. Individuals who request
more than 10 minutes to present their oral testimony at the hearing or
who will submit documentary evidence at the hearing must submit
(transmit, send, postmark, deliver) the full text of their testimony
and all documentary evidence no later than August 8, 2008.
    The Agency will review each submission and determine if the
information it contains warrants the amount of time the individual
requested for the presentation. If OSHA believes the requested time is
excessive, the Agency will allocate an appropriate amount of time for
the presentation. The Agency also may limit to 10 minutes the
presentation of any participant who fails to comply substantially with
these procedural requirements, and may request that the participant
return for questioning at a later time. Before the hearing, OSHA will
notify participants of the time the Agency is allowing for their
presentation and the reasons for its decision. In addition, before the
hearing OSHA will provide the pre-hearing guidelines and hearing
schedule to each participant.
    Certification of the hearing record and Agency final determination.
Following the close of the hearing and the post-hearing comment
periods, the ALJ will certify the record to the Assistant Secretary of
Labor for Occupational Safety and Health. The record will consist of
all of the written comments, oral testimony and documentary evidence
received during the proceeding. The ALJ, however, will not make or
recommend any decisions as to the content of the final standard.
Following certification of the record, OSHA will review all the
evidence received as part of the record and will issue the final rule
based on the record as a whole.

Safety and Health, directed the preparation of this notice under the

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-10021-03-Region 8]

Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of
Colorado

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Public notice is hereby given that the state of Colorado has
revised its Public Water System Supervision (PWSS) Program by adopting
federal regulations for the Revised Total Coliform Rule (RTCR) that
correspond to the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWR).
EPA has reviewed Colorado's regulations and determined they are no less
stringent than the federal regulations. EPA is proposing to approve the
RTCR for Colorado.
    This approval action does not extend to public water systems in
Indian country. Please see SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION, Unit B.

DATES: Any interested parties may request a public hearing on this
determination by April 12, 2021. Please see SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION,
Unit C, for details. Should no timely and appropriate request for a
hearing be received, and the Regional Administrator (RA) does not elect
to hold a hearing on his/her own motion, this determination shall
become applicable April 12, 2021 and no further notice will be issued.

ADDRESSES: Requests for a public hearing should be submitted to: Robert
Clement by email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or by phone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Clement, Drinking Water B
Section, EPA Region 8, Denver, Colorado by email at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or by phone toll-free at 1-(800) 227-8917
extension 312-6653, or directly at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with section 1413 of the Safe
Drinking Water Act (SDWA), 42 U.S.C. 300g-2, and 40 CFR 142.13, public
notice is hereby given that the state of Colorado has revised its PWSS
program by adopting federal regulations for the RTCR that correspond to
the NPDWR in 40 CFR parts 141 and 142. EPA has reviewed Colorado's
regulations and determined they are no less stringent than the federal
regulations. EPA is proposing to approve Colorado's primacy revision
for the RTCR. This approval action does not extend to public water
systems in Indian country as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. Please see
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION, Unit B.

A. Why are revisions to State programs necessary?

    States with primary PWSS enforcement authority must comply with the
requirements of 40 CFR part 142 to maintain primacy. They must adopt
regulations that are at least as stringent as the NPDWRs at 40 CFR
parts 141 and 142, as well as adopt all new and revised NPDWRs in order
to retain primacy (40 CFR 142.12(a)).

B. How does this action affect Indian country (18 U.S.C. 1151) in
Colorado?

    EPA's approval of Colorado's revised PWSS program does not extend
to Indian country as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. Indian country in
Colorado generally includes (1) lands within the exterior boundaries of
the following Indian reservations located within Colorado, in part or
in full: The Southern Ute Indian Reservation and the Ute Mountain Ute
Reservation; (2) any land held in trust by the United States for an
Indian tribe; and (3) any other areas which are ``Indian country''
within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. 1151. EPA or eligible Indian tribes, as
appropriate, will retain PWSS program responsibilities over public
water systems in Indian country.

C. Requesting a Hearing

    Any interested party may request a hearing on this determination
within thirty (30) days of this notice. All requests shall include the
following information: Name, address, and telephone number of the
individual, organization, or other entity requesting a hearing; a brief
statement of interest and information to be submitted at the hearing;
and a signature of the interested individual or responsible official,

insubstantial requests for a hearing may be denied by the RA.
    Notice of any hearing shall be given not less than fifteen (15)
days prior to the time scheduled for the hearing and will be made by
the RA in the Federal Register and in a newspaper of general
circulation in the state. A notice will also be sent to both the
person(s) requesting the hearing and the state. The hearing notice will
include a statement of purpose of the hearing, information regarding
time and location for the hearing, and the address and telephone number
where interested persons may obtain further information. The RA will
issue an order affirming or rescinding the determination upon review of
the hearing record.
    Please bring this notice to the attention of any persons known by
you to have an interest in this determination.
