[Project No. 14557-000]

Mid-Atlantic Hydro, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications

    On September 25, 2013, Mid-Atlantic Hydro, LLC, 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
Button Rock Hydroelectric Project (or project) to be located near the
town of Lyons, Boulder County, Colorado. 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
reservoir having a surface area of 248 acres and a storage capacity of
16,084 acre-feet; (2) a 925-foot-long, 210-foot-high concrete-face
earthen dam, with a crest width of 30 feet and a maximum base width of
1,030 feet; (3) an existing 54-inch outlet valve situated near the
right abutment and passing through the dam near the valley floor; (4) a
steel penstock connecting the outlet valve to the existing conduit and
extending downstream for 100 feet; (5) a reinforced concrete
powerhouse; (6) one 1.5-MW Francis turbine generating unit; and (7) a
2.3-kilovolt transmission line extending 1.75 miles from the proposed
substation to an existing distribution line located at the Longmont
Dam. The estimated annual generation of the Button Rock Hydroelectric
Project would be 5,000 megawatt-hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This action is directed to the public in general. As such, the
Agency has not attempted to describe the specific entities that this
action may apply to. Although others may be affected, this action
applies directly to the submitter of the PMNs addressed in this action.

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.

II. What action is the Agency taking?

    This document provides receipt and status reports, which cover the
period from July 1, 2015 to July 30, 2015, and consists of the PMNs and
TMEs both pending and/or expired, and the NOCs to manufacture a new
chemical that the Agency has received under TSCA section 5 during this
time period.

III. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    Under TSCA, 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., EPA classifies a chemical
substance as either an ``existing'' chemical or a ``new'' chemical. Any
chemical substance that is not on EPA's TSCA Inventory is classified as
a ``new chemical,'' while those that are on the TSCA Inventory are
classified as an ``existing chemical.'' For more information about the
TSCA Inventory go to: http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/newchems/pubs/inventory.htm.
    Anyone who plans to manufacture or import a new chemical substance
for a non-exempt commercial purpose is required by TSCA section 5 to
provide EPA with a PMN, before initiating the activity. Section 5(h)(1)
of TSCA authorizes EPA to allow persons, upon application, to
manufacture (includes import) or process a new chemical substance, or a
chemical substance subject to a significant new use rule (SNUR) issued
under TSCA section 5(a), for ``test marketing'' purposes, which is
referred to as a test marketing exemption, or TME. For more information
about the requirements applicable to a new chemical go to: http://www.epa.gov/oppt/newchems.
    Under TSCA sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3), EPA is required to publish
in the Federal Register a notice of receipt of a PMN or an application
for a TME and to publish in the Federal Register periodic status
reports on the new chemicals under review and the receipt of NOCs to
manufacture those chemicals.

IV. Receipt and Status Reports

    For the PMNs received by EPA during this period, Table 1 provides
the following information (to the extent that such information is not
claimed as CBI): The EPA case number assigned to the PMN; the date the
PMN was received by EPA; the projected end date for EPA's review of the
PMN; the submitting

manufacturer/importer; the potential uses identified by the
manufacturer/importer in the PMN; and the chemical identity. As used in
the table, (S) is used to indicate that the information provided in the
table is the specific information provided by the submitter, and (G) is
used to indicate that the information provided in the table is generic
information because the specific information provided by the submitter
was claimed as CBI.

Identification of the Information Collection 1( a) ICR for National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Perchloroethylene ( PCE) Dry Cleaning Facilities Subpart M  Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements 1( b) Short Characterization/ Abstract The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants ( NESHAP) for Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaning Facilities Subpart M were proposed on December 9, 1991 and promulgated on September 22, 1993 . These standards apply to the following dry cleaning facilities: existing facilities operating dry to dry machines only and consuming over 0.8 megagrams per year ( Mg/ yr) [ 140 gallons ( gal)] of PCE; existing facilities operating transfer machines systems consuming over 1.1 Mg/ yr ( 200 gal); existing facilities operating both dry todry machines and transfer machine systems consuming over 0.8 Mg/ yr of PCE; or new facilities entering the dry cleaning business. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart M. Owners or operators of the affected facilities described must make one time only notifications. Owners or operators are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. Monitoring requirements specific to National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Perchloroethylene ( PCE) Dry Cleaning Facilities Subpart M provide information on the operation of the control device and pollution prevention practices along with compliance with the standard. All facilities must maintain yearly PCE consumption records, and must implement a leak detection and repair program. Owners or operators must submit required reports to the EPA or the delegated State regulatory authority. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance; and are required, in general, of all sources subject to MACT. Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least 5 years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports, and records. Approximately 25,090 sources are currently subject to the standard. This estimate was based on the assumption that there will be 2,571 new affected facilities each year, but that the overall number of facilities will remain constant as the new owners will take over old existing facilities. It is further assumed that there is an average of one affected facilities per plant ( respondent). The cost of this ICR will be $ 8,851,444.88. All reports are sent to the delegated State or Local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are 2 sent directly to the EPA Regional Office.

2. Need for and Use of the Collection 2( a) Need/ Authority for the Collection The EPA is charged under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, to establish standards of performance for each category or subcategory of major sources and area sources of hazardous air pollutants. These standards are applicable to new or existing sources of hazardous air pollutants and shall require the maximum degree of emission reduction: In addition, Section 114( a) States that:

. . . the Administrator may require any owner or operator subject to any requirement of this Act to ( A) establish and maintain such records, ( B) make such reports, ( C) install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment or methods ( in accordance with such methods at such locations, at such intervals, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe), and ( D) sample such emissions, ( E) Keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical, ( F) submit compliance certifications, and ( G) provide such other information as he may reasonably require.

In the Administrator's judgment, perchloroethylene emissions from dry cleaning facilities cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, NESHAP were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart M.

2( b) PRACTICAL UTILITY/ USERS OF THE DATA The control of emissions of perchloroethylene from dry cleaning facilities requires not only the installation of properly designed equipment, but also the operation and maintenance of that equipment. Emissions of perchloroethylene from dry cleaning facilities are the result of operating the dry cleaning units. These standards rely on the reduction of PCE emissions by refrigerated condensers or carbon absorbers, and pollution prevention . The required notifications are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the standard. The records and reports are necessary to enable the reviewing authority to identify facilities that may not be in compliance with the standard. Based on reported information, the reviewing authority can decide which facilities should be offered compliance assistance and/ or inspected, and what records or processes should be inspected at these facilities. The records that the facilities maintain would indicate to the authority whether transfer emissions and other fugitive emissions are being properly controlled. The information generated by the monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements described in this ICR is used by the Agency to ensure that facilities affected by the MACT continue to operate the control equipment and achieve continuous compliance with the regulation. Adequate monitoring, recordkeeping, 3 and reporting are necessary to ensure compliance with these standards, as required by the Clean Air Act. The information collected from recordkeeping and reporting requirements is also used for targeting inspections, and is of sufficient quality to be used as evidence in court. To minimize the burden, much of the information, which is kept onsite, would be reviewed by enforcement personnel during an inspection and would not need to be routinely reported to the authority.

3. Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria 3( a) Nonduplication The recordkeeping and reporting requested are required under 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart M. If the standard has not been delegated the information is sent to the appropriate EPA Regional Office. Otherwise, the information is sent directly to the delegated State or Local Agency. If a State or Local Agency has adopted its own similar regulation to implement the Federal Regulation, a copy of the report submitted to the State or Local agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the Federal Standard. Therefore, no duplication exists.

3( b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this ICR was published in the Federal Register on October 29, 1999 [ 64 FR 58396].

3( c) Consultations No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register.

3( d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection Less frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that facilities are continuing to meet the required standards. Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practices are applied and emission limitations are met. If the information required by these standards was collected less frequently, the likelihood of detecting poor operation and maintenance of control equipment and noncompliance would decrease.

3( e) General Guidelines None of the reporting or recordkeeping requirements contained in 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart M or otherwise pertinent to this request violate any of the regulations established by OMB in 5 CFR 1320.6. 4 3( f) Confidentiality The required information consists of emissions data and other information that have been determined not to be private. However, any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, Chapter 1, Part 2, Subpart B  Confidentiality of Business Information ( see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).

3( g) Sensitive Questions None of the reporting or recordkeeping requirements contained in 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart M or otherwise pertinent to this request contain sensitive questions.

4. The Respondents and the Information Requested 4( a) Respondents/ SIC Codes The respondents of the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are existing dry cleaning facilities operating dry to dry machines only with and consuming 0.8 megagrams per year ( Mg/ yr) [ 140 gallons ( gal)] of PCE; existing facilities operating transfer machines systems consuming over 1.1 Mg/ yr ( 200 gal); existing facilities operating both dry to dry machines and transfer machines systems consuming over 0.8 Mg/ yr of PCE; or new facilities entering the dry cleaning business ( SIC Code 7215, 7216, and 7218). New dry cleaning facilities are those systems that commences construction or reconstruction on or after December 9, 1991. Other systems are existing PCE dry cleaning facilities.

4( b) INFORMATION REQUESTED ( I) Data Items All data in this ICR that is recorded and/ or reported is required by 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart M Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaning Facilities. A source must make the following reports Provide notification of:  initial notifications ( 63.324( a)) Report on:  initial report requirements ( 63.324( a))  compliance report ( 63.324( b))  facility status change ( 63.324( c))  exceedance of low solvent consumption exemption level ( 63.324( c)) A source must keep the following records  solvent purchases per month and calculation of yearly PCE consumption ( 63.324( d)) 5  weekly or biweekly inspections ( 63.324( d))  date of repairs or purchase orders for repairs ( 63.324( d))  monitoring of control equipment ( 63.324( d))  design specification and operating manual for dry cleaning systems and emission control device ( 63.324( e))  all reports and notifications 63.10( b)  record of applicability 63.10( b)( 3) Records are required to be retained for 5 years onsite. All MACT standards require 5 years of record retention. b. Respondent Activities  Read instructions  write the notifications and reports listed above  enter information required to be recorded above.  submit the required reports developing, acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information;  developing, acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and systems for the purpose of processing and maintaining information;  developing, acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and systems for the purpose of disclosing and providing information;  adjusting the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements;  training personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information;  transmitting, or otherwise disclosing the information 5. The Information Collected  Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management 5( a) Agency Activities EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the information required under 40 CFR Subpart M:  Reviews notifications and reports required to be submitted by industry  Audits facility records  Inputs, analyzes, and maintains data in the Aerometric Information Retrieval System ( AIRS) database 5( b) Collection Methodology and Management Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority might inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated. Initial notification reports and compliance method reports are used by the Agency to discern a source's initial capability to comply with the emission standard, and the operating condition, e. g. annual 6 solvent consumption, under which compliance was achieved. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. The records are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations. Information contained in the reports is entered into AIRS which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards. AIRS is EPA's database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance and annual emission inventory data for over 100,000 industrial and government owned facilities. EPA uses AIRS for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement by Local and State regulatory agencies, and EPA Regional Offices and Headquarters. EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data. The records required by this regulation must be retained by the owner or operator for five years.

5( c) Small Entity Flexibility The dry cleaning industry is considered to be composed primarily of small businesses; therefore, almost all facilities are small entities. When developing the regulation, the EPA took special steps to ensure that the burdens imposed on small entities were reasonable. For example, an in depth economic analysis ( comparable to a Regulatory Flexibility Analysis) was conducted and documented in: " Economic Impact of Regulatory Control in the Dry Cleaning Industry", EPA 45/ 3 91 021. Because of the large number of small businesses in this industry, the reporting requirements for the individual cleaning facilities are minimal. There is not any quarterly, semiannual or annual reporting requirements as there are with most regulated large industries. The burden is further minimized since costly monitoring equipment, such as a continuous monitor, is not required. In a conscience effort to allow smaller businesses to carry less burden than their larger counterparts, the weekly recordkeeping requirement for leak detection and repair is reduced to biweekly for the smallest dry cleaning facilities. Several steps have been taken to ensure that small entities are informed of the NESHAP and their reporting and recordkeeping responsibilities. Following the publication of the promulgated rule, copies of the Federal Register notice and, in some cases, background documents were mailed to all industries and organizations who have had input during the regulation development and to relevant State and local agencies. Trade associations distributed copies to their members. Also, newspaper articles were published to reach the smallest dry cleaning facility owners or operators. The EPA, States and local agencies offer compliance assistance to dry cleaners concerning the NESHAP to assist them in complying with the regulations with minimal burden.

5( d) Collection Schedule The specific frequency for each information collection activity within this request is shown on Table 2. 7 6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection Table 2 documents the computation of individual burdens for each of the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Where appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory. The Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

6( a) Estimating Respondent Burden The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirements is estimated at 1,212,129 ( total from industry table) person hours. These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the standards or test methods, Agency knowledge and experience with the MACT program, the previously approved ICR, and any comments received.

6( b) Estimating Respondent Costs ( i) Estimating Labor Costs This ICR uses labor rates of managers from the United States Department of Commerce Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 1998, Table 2: Employment Costs for Civilian Workers by Occupational and Industry Group and labor rates of launders and dry cleaning machine operators from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, http:// stats/ bls. gov/ special. requests/ ocwc/ octl/ ncsos/ ncs/. Executive, Administrative, and Managerial $ 50.48 ($ 24.04 per hour + 110% overhead) Launder and Dry Cleaning Machine Operators $ 15.10 ($ 7.19 per hour + 110% overhead)

( ii) Estimating Capital and Operations and Maintenance Costs The only type of industry costs associated with the information collection activity in the standards are labor costs. There are no capital or operations and maintenance costs. The average annual burden for capital and operations and maintenance costs to industry over the next three years of the ICR is estimated to be zero. The standards do not require the facilities to install or operate any continuous monitoring equipment.

( iii) Capital/ Start up vs. Operating and Maintenance ( O& M) Costs The only monitoring requirements are for a leak detection and repair standard ( LDAR). There is no requirement for continuous monitoring which may generate operating and maintenance costs. 8 6( c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost The only Federal costs are user costs associated with analysis of the reported information. Publication and distribution of the information are part of the AIRS program. Examination of records to be maintained by the respondents will occur as part of the periodic inspection of sources, which is part of EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program. The average annual Federal Government cost during the 3 years of the ICR is estimated to be $ 217,588.50 ( from table 1). This cost is based on an average wage of a GS10 step 1 employee rate, G12 step 12 manager, and GS3 step 1 clerical support staff and travel associated with compliance activities. Details upon which this estimate is based appear in Table 1: Agency Burden.

6( d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs The number of existing sources subject to NESHAP for Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaning Facilities Subpart M is 25,090. The number of new sources subject to NESHAP for Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaning Facilities Subpart M is 2,571. The number of total respondents is 25,090. This is the number of existing sources plus the number of new sources anticipated in one year minus the number of discontinued sources in one year. Because the dry cleaning industry is dominated by small businesses with a high turnover rate, it is estimated that new sources are typically replacing older sources. The total annual responses is 5,270. This number is calculated from the number of new sources multiplied by the number of initial reports, plus the number of existing sources multiplied by the consumption exceedance cutoff reports. The total annual labor costs are $ 8,581,444.88 and total annual capital and O& M costs to the regulated entity are zero dollars. Details upon which this estimate is based appear in Table 2: Industry Burden.

6( e) Bottom Line Burden Hours And Cost Tables See Table 2, Annual Respondent Burden and Cost of Reporting & Record Keeping Requirements 6( f) Reasons for Change in Burden The burden from the most recently approved ICR is similar to the burden determined in this ICR.

6( g) Burden Statement Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology 9 and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15.
