40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R09-OAR-2015-0807; FRL-9941-94-Region 9]

Approval of California Air Plan Revisions, Department of
Pesticide Regulations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve revisions to the California Department of Pesticide Regulations
(CDPR) portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). These
revisions concern emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from
pesticides. We are proposing to approve these rules to regulate these
emission sources under the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act). We are
taking comments on this proposal and plan to follow with a final
action.

DATES: Any comments must arrive by March 9, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R09-
OAR-2015-0807 at http://www.regulations.gov, or via email to
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>For comments submitted at Regulations.gov,
follow the online instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted,
comments cannot be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. For either
manner of submission, the EPA may publish any comment received to its
public docket. Do not submit electronically any information you

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

    On August 4, 2015, the submittal for CDPR's Nonfumigant Regulations
was deemed by operation of law to meet the completeness criteria in 40
CFR part 51 Appendix V, which must be met before formal EPA review.

B. Are there other versions of these rules?

    There are no previous versions of 3 CCR 6558, 6577, 6864, 6880,
6883, 6884, or 6886 in the SIP. We approved earlier versions of 3 CCR
6452, 6452.2 and 6452.4 (now 6881) into the SIP on October 26, 2012 (77
FR 65294).

C. What is the purpose of the submitted rules and rule revisions?

    VOCs help produce ground-level ozone, smog and PM, which harm human
health and the environment. Section 110(a) of the CAA requires States
to submit regulations that control VOC emissions. The overall purpose
of the new and amended regulations is to regulate certain nonfumigant
pesticide products applied to certain crops in the SJV ozone NAA when
VOC emissions meet or exceed 95% of the 18.1 tons per day limit on VOC
emissions, or 17.2 tons per day. CDPR added or revised the rules
specified above largely to establish limits on the sale and use of
high-VOC formulations of nonfumigant pesticide products that contain
abamectin, chlorpyrifos, gibberellins, or oxyfluorfen as their primary
active ingredient, for use on any of the following seven crops:
Alfalfa, almond, citrus, cotton, grape, pistachio, and walnut. These
restrictions are only triggered when the VOC emissions meet or exceed
17.2 tons per day, as reported in the CDPR's Annual VOC Emissions
Inventory Report. They apply only during the May-October ``ozone
season.'' Once high-VOC product prohibitions are in effect, they must
remain in effect until the ``hypothetical emissions'' (i.e., the
estimated VOC emissions if the prohibitions were not in effect) for
pesticides in the SJV ozone NAA comply with the 17.2 tons per day limit
for at least two consecutive years. The rules include a calculation to
determine the ``hypothetical emissions.'' The rules also require pest
control dealers to provide customers written information about these
restrictions and to indicate on the invoice that the written
information was provided. Pest control advisors are prohibited from
recommending a restricted nonfumigant product, unless it qualifies
under an exception.
    The EPA's technical support document (TSD) has more information
about these rules.

II. The EPA's Evaluation and Action

A. How is the EPA evaluating the rules?

    SIP rules must be enforceable (see CAA section 110(a)(2)), must not
interfere with applicable requirements concerning attainment and
reasonable further progress or other CAA requirements (see CAA section
110(l)), and must not modify certain SIP control requirements in
nonattainment areas without ensuring equivalent or greater emissions
reductions (see CAA section 193).
    Generally, SIP rules must require Reasonably Available Control
Technology (RACT) for each category of sources covered by a Control
Techniques Guidelines (CTG) document as well as each major source of
VOCs in ozone nonattainment areas classified as moderate or above (see
CAA section 182(b)(2)). Because there are no relevant EPA CTG documents
and because there are no major sources of VOCs for nonfumigant
pesticides, nonfumigant pesticides are not subject to RACT
requirements. However, nonfumigant pesticide use is subject to other
VOC limits and requirements described in the TSD.
    Guidance and policy documents that we use to evaluate
enforceability, revision/relaxation and rule stringency requirements
for the applicable criteria pollutants include the following:

1. ``Issues Relating to VOC Regulation Cutpoints, Deficiencies, and
Deviations,'' EPA, May 25, 1988 (the Bluebook, revised January 11,
1990).
2. ``Guidance Document for Correcting Common VOC & Other Rule
Deficiencies,'' EPA Region 9, August 21, 2001 (the Little Bluebook).

B. Do the rules meet the evaluation criteria?

    We believe these rules are consistent with CAA requirements and
relevant guidance regarding enforceability, stringency, and SIP
revisions. The TSD has more information on our evaluation.

C. EPA Recommendations To Further Improve the Rules

    The TSD describes additional rule revisions that we recommend for
the next time the local agency modifies the rules but are not currently
the basis for rule disapproval.

E. Public Comment and Proposed Action

    As authorized in section 110(k)(3) of the Act, the EPA proposes to
fully approve the submitted rules because we believe they fulfill all
relevant requirements. We will accept comments

from the public on this proposal until March 9, 2016. Unless we receive
convincing new information during the comment period, we intend to
publish a final approval action that will incorporate these rules into
the federally enforceable SIP.

III. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, the EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance
with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is proposing to incorporate by
reference the CDPR rules as described in Table 1 of this notice. The
EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents available
electronically through www.regulations.gov and in hard copy at the
appropriate EPA office (see the ADDRESSES section of this preamble for
more information).

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve State
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this proposed action merely proposes to approve State law
as meeting Federal requirements and does not impose additional
requirements beyond those imposed by State law. For that reason, this
proposed action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     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);
     does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act; and
     does not provide the EPA with the discretionary authority
to address disproportionate human health or environmental effects with
practical, appropriate, and legally permissible methods under Executive
Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not
impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal
law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000).

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736

Extension:
    Form 1-K

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget this request for extension of the previously approved
collection of information discussed below.
    Form 1-K (17 CFR 239.91) is used to file annual reports by Tier 2
issuers under Regulation A, an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). Tier 2 issuers under
Regulation A conducting offerings of up to $50 million within a 12-
month period are required to file Form 1-K. Form 1-K provides audited
year-end financial statements and information about the issuer's
business operation, ownership, management, liquidity, capital resources
and operations on an annual basis. In addition, Part I of the Form 1-K
collects information on any offerings under Regulation A that have been
terminated or completed unless it has been previous reported on Form 1-
Z. The purpose of the Form 1-K is to better inform the public about
companies that have conducted Tier 2 offerings under Regulation A. We
estimate that approximately 36 issuers file Form 1-K annually. We
estimate that Form 1-K takes approximately 600 hours to prepare. We
estimate that 75% of the 600 hours per response (450 hours) is prepared
by the company for a total annual burden of 16,200 hours (450.0 hours
per response x 36 responses).
    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 control number.
    The public may view background documentation for this information
collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Find this
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
Written comments and

recommendations for the proposed information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this notice to (i) www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain and (ii) David Bottom, Director/Chief Information
Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Cynthia Roscoe, 100 F
Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or by sending an email to:

phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>, fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>, email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 7 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.

    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington,
DC 20426.
    Comment Date: November 7, 2012.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-63593; File No. SR-NYSE-2010-83]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change
Making Permanent the Pilot Program That Offers Liquidity Takers a
Reduced Transaction Fee Structure for Certain Bond Trades Executed on
the NYSE Bonds System

December 21, 2010.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that, on December 16, 2010, the New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE''
or the ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I
and II below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to make permanent the pilot program that
offers liquidity takers a reduced transaction fee structure for certain
bond trades executed on the NYSE Bonds \SM\ system (``NYSE Bonds'').
The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's
principal office, http://www.nyse.com, the Commission's Public
Reference Room, and on the Commission's Web site at http://www.sec.gov.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant parts of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to make permanent the pilot program that
offers liquidity takers a reduced transaction fee structure for certain
bond trades executed on the NYSE Bonds \SM\ system (``NYSE Bonds'').
The pilot program commenced in January 2008 \3\ and has been extended
several times since that time.\4\ It is scheduled to expire on December
31, 2010.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57176 (January 18,
2008), 73 FR 4929 (January 28, 2008) (SR-NYSE-2008-04).
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 57823 (May 15,
2008), 73 FR 29804 (May 22, 2008) (SR-NYSE-2008-38), 59178 (December
30, 2008), 74 FR 748 (January 7, 2009) (SR-NYSE-2008-137), 61201
(December 18, 2009), 74 FR 68651 (December 28, 2009) (SR-NYSE-2009-
127), 62455 (July 6, 2010), 75 FR 40004 (July 13, 2010) (SR-NYSE-
2010-51).

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

    The pilot program reduces transaction fees charged to liquidity
takers for transactions executed on NYSE Bonds with a staggered
transaction fee schedule based on the number of bonds purchased or sold
in excess of ten (10) bonds. When the liquidity taker purchases or
sells from one to ten (10) bonds, the Exchange will charge an execution
fee of $0.50 per bond; when the liquidity taker purchases or sells from
eleven (11) to twenty five (25) bonds, the Exchange will charge an
execution fee of $0.20 per bond, and when the liquidity taker purchases
or sells twenty six (26) bonds or more, the Exchange charges an
execution fee of $0.10 per bond. The Exchange imposes a $100 execution
fee cap per transaction.
    For example, if a liquidity taker purchases or sells five (5)
bonds, the Exchange charges $.50 per bond, or a total of $2.50 for
execution fees. If a liquidity taker purchases or sells twenty (20)
bonds, the Exchange charges $.20 per bond or a total of $4.00 for
execution fees. If a liquidity taker purchases or sells thirty (30)
bonds, the Exchange charges $.10 per bond or a total of $3.00 for
execution fees.
    The bond liquidity taker fee schedule has been in place for nearly
two years and the Exchange believe that it is an equitable allocation
of fees for users of the NYSE bond platform. As such, the Exchange
believes that it is appropriate at this time to adopt the fee schedule
on a permanent, rather than a pilot, basis.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the provisions of Section 6 \5\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \6\ in general and Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \7\ in
particular, in that it is designed to provide for the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among its members
and other persons using its facilities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78a.
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \8\ and paragraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-4
thereunder,\9\ because it establishes a due, fee, or other charge
imposed by the NYSE.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP12-31-000]

 Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Elba BOG Compressor Project and Request for Comments on
Environmental Issues; Southern LNG Company, L.L.C.

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of the Elba BOG Compressor Project
involving construction and operation of facilities by Southern LNG
Company, L.L.C. (SLNG) in Chatham County, Georgia. The Commission will
use this EA in its decision-making process to determine whether the
project is in the public convenience and necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the
Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested
agencies on the project. Your input will help the Commission staff
determine what issues they need to evaluate in the EA. Please note that
the scoping period will close on February 13, 2012.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for this project. State and local government
representatives should notify their constituents of this proposed
project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.

Summary of the Proposed Project

    SLNG proposes to construct and operate additional boil-off gas
(BOG) compression facilities at its liquefied natural gas (LNG) marine
terminal on Elba Island in Chatham County, Georgia (Terminal). The Elba
BOG Compressor Project would supplement the existing 1,500 horsepower
BOG compressor and is expected to operate any time the overall plant
vaporization rate is below approximately 120 million cubic feet per
day. The additional compression would increase the Terminal's
capability to compress a total of 21 million cubic feet per day of BOG
generated within its storage tanks without the need to re-gasify
additional LNG. The project would not increase the LNG sendout or
storage of the Terminal. The Elba BOG Compressor Project would consist
of the following facilities:
     2,500 horsepower electric-motor driven reciprocating gas
compressor;
     flow metering modifications;
     underground discharge piping tie-in to the existing 30-
inch-diameter sendout pipeline;
     approximately 200 feet of 4-inch-diameter suction/
discharge pipe;
     approximately 420 feet of aboveground 10-inch-diameter
piping;
     electrical modifications in the existing compressor
building; and
     valving modifications.
    The general location of the project facilities is shown in appendix
1.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The appendices referenced in this notice will not appear in
the Federal Register. Copies of appendices were sent to all those
receiving this notice in the mail and are available at www.ferc.gov
using the link called ``eLibrary'' or from the Commission's Public
Reference Room, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, or call
(202) 502-8371. For instructions on connecting to eLibrary, refer to
the last page of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Land Requirements for Construction

    The project would be located entirely within SLNG's existing
Terminal. All work would be performed within an approximately 21-acre
portion of the existing Terminal boundaries, near the existing K-5
compressor at the Terminal. The majority of the project land
requirements would be temporary use areas associated with fabrication,
parking, and staging areas, which have been previously disturbed.
Existing access roads would be used for construction and operations
activities. At completion, approximately 0.05 acre of additional land
within the Terminal

boundaries would be permanently converted to project use.

The EA Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the
Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could
result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us
\2\ to discover and address concerns the public may have about
proposals. This process is referred to as ``scoping.'' The main goal of
the scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important
environmental issues. By this notice, the Commission requests public
comments on the scope of the issues to address in the EA. We will
consider all filed comments during the preparation of the EA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ ``We,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the Commission's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the EA we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of
the construction and operation of the proposed project under these
general headings:
     Geology and soils;
     Land use;
     Water resources, fisheries, and wetlands;
     Cultural resources;
     Vegetation and wildlife;
     Air quality and noise;
     Endangered and threatened species; and
     Public safety.
    We will also evaluate reasonable alternatives to the proposed
project or portions of the project, and make recommendations on how to
lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    The EA will present our independent analysis of the issues. The EA
will be available in the public record through eLibrary. Depending on
the comments received during the scoping process, we may also publish
and distribute the EA to the public for an allotted comment period. We
will consider all comments on the EA before making our recommendations
to the Commission. To ensure we have the opportunity to consider and
address your comments, please carefully follow the instructions in the
Public Participation section beginning on page 4.
    With this notice, we are asking agencies with jurisdiction by law
and/or special expertise with respect to the environmental issues of
this project to formally cooperate with us in the preparation of the
EA.\3\ Agencies that would like to request cooperating agency status
should follow the instructions for filing comments provided under the
Public Participation section of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Council on Environmental Quality regulations addressing
cooperating agency responsibilities are at Title 40, Code of Federal
Regulations, part 1501.6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consultations Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act

    In accordance with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's
implementing regulations for section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act, we are using this notice to initiate consultation
with applicable State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), and to
solicit their views and those of other government agencies, interested
Indian tribes, and the public on the project's potential effects on
historic properties.\4\ We will define the project-specific Area of
Potential Effects (APE) in consultation with the SHPO as the project
develops. On natural gas facility projects, the APE at a minimum
encompasses all areas subject to ground disturbance (examples include
construction right-of-way, contractor/pipe storage yards, compressor
stations, and access roads). Our EA for this project will document our
findings on the impacts on historic properties and summarize the status
of consultations under section 106.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's regulations
are at Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 800. Those
regulations define historic properties as any prehistoric or
historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in
or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic
Places.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American Tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. This list also
includes all affected landowners (as defined in the Commission's
regulations) who are potential right-of-way grantors, whose property
may be used temporarily for project purposes, or who own homes within
certain distances of aboveground facilities, and anyone who submits
comments on the project. We will update the environmental mailing list
as the analysis proceeds to ensure that we send the information related
to this environmental review to all individuals, organizations, and
government entities interested in and/or potentially affected by the
proposed project.
    If we publish and distribute the EA, copies will be sent to the
environmental mailing list for public review and comment. If you would
prefer to receive a paper copy of the document instead of the CD
version or would like to remove your name from the mailing list, please

application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the
Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the
Lower Alamo & New Rivers Hydroelectric Project (Lower Alamo & New
Rivers Hydroelectric Project or project) to be located on the Alamo
River and New River, near the cities of Calipatria and Brawley,
Imperial County, California. 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 four river drop developments:
     The Alamo River Drop 2, New River Drop 2, and New River
Drop 3 developments would consist of the

following: (1) a VLH 4000 turbo-generator; (2) a 10-by-10 foot
electrical control shack; and (3) appurtenant facilities.
     The Alamo River Drop 3-3A development would consist of the
following: (1) a gated water intake canal located upstream of the 3A
weir; (2) a 30-foot-wide concrete diversion canal approximately 1,300
feet in length; (3) a 50-by-40-foot powerhouse enclosing one Kaplan
turbine and generator; and (4) appurtenant facilities.
    The proposed project would have a total installed capacity of 2.9
megawatts and generate an estimated average annual energy production of
23.65 gigawatt-hours.

Safety Administration, W46-491, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington,
DC 20590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), before an agency submits a proposed
collection of information to OMB for approval, it must first publish a
document in the Federal Register providing a 60-day comment period and
otherwise consult with members of the public and affected agencies
concerning each proposed collection of information. The OMB has
promulgated regulations describing what must be included in such a
document. Under OMB's regulation (at 5 CFR 1320.8(d)), an agency must
ask for public comment on the following: (a) whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) 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; (c) how to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected;
and (d) how to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,e.g. permitting electronic
submission of responses. In compliance with these requirements, NHTSA
asks for public comments on the following proposed collection of
information for which the agency is seeking approval from OMB.
    Title: Influence of Drivers' Internal Reasoning on Speeding.
    OMB Control Number: New.
    Form Numbers: NHTSA Form 1659.
    Type of Request: Approval of a New Information Collection.
    Type of Review Requested: Regular.
    Requested Expiration Date of Approval: 3 years from date of
approval.
    Summary of the Collection of Information: NHTSA is seeking approval
to conduct a survey of 1,500 licensed drivers in Washington State age
18 and older regarding speeding. The study will coordinate with the
Washington Traffic Safety Commission and Washington Department of
Licensing to survey drivers in the State who received one or more
speeding convictions in the last three years and drivers not convicted
of speeding in that same time-frame. Participation in the study will be
voluntary. The study will use a self-administered web-based survey with
a paper survey option available. The survey will include general and
speeding-specific questions about moral reasoning (judgments about
rightfulness and wrongfulness), legal reasoning (judgments about
lawfulness and unlawfulness), and attitudes and perceptions of laws,
enforcement, and sanctions. Past speeding behavior and intent to speed
in the future will also be assessed.
    In conducting the proposed research, the survey will use computer-
assisted web interviewing (i.e., a programmed, self-administered, web
survey) to facilitate ease of use and maximize data accuracy. Although
web will be the primary data collection mode, a paper questionnaire
will be sent to households that do not respond to the web invitations.
The proposed survey will be anonymous, and the survey will not collect
any personal identifying information. This collection only requires
respondents to report their answers; there are no record-keeping costs
to the respondents. Individuals receiving a survey invitation will
receive compensation in return for their activities.
    The results of this research will assist NHTSA in better
understanding how to develop successful programs to improve driver
safety. The technical report will be distributed to a variety of
audiences interested in improving highway safety. This collection will
inform the development of countermeasures, particularly in the areas of
communications and outreach intended to reduce speeding.
    Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use of the
Information: NHTSA was established to reduce the number of deaths,
injuries, and economic losses resulting from motor vehicle crashes on
the Nation's highways. As part of this statutory mandate, NHTSA is
authorized to conduct research as a foundation for the development of
traffic safety programs. Title 23, United States Code, Section 403
gives the Secretary of Transportation (NHTSA by delegation)
authorization to use funds appropriated to conduct research and
development activities, including demonstration projects and the
collection and analysis of highway and motor vehicle safety data and
related information, with respect to all aspects of highway and traffic
safety systems and conditions relating to vehicle, highway, driver,
passenger, motorcyclist, bicyclist, and pedestrian characteristics;
accident causation and investigations; and human behavioral factors and
their effect on highway and traffic safety. Speeding behavior is an
area for which NHTSA has developed comprehensive

programs to meet its injury reduction goals. The major components of
speeding safety programs are education, enforcement, and outreach, with
legislative efforts added to the mix.
    Speeding continues to be a major safety problem. In 2019, speeding
was a contributing factor in 26% of fatal, 12% of injury, and 9% of
property-damage-only crashes. Motor vehicle crashes in 2019 where at
least one driver was speeding accounted for 9,478 fatalities. That same
year, 326,000 people were injured in speeding-related traffic
crashes.\1\ To address the safety problem, NHTSA has provided State
Highway Safety Offices and safety advocates with information on
attitudes and behaviors of drivers who speed, including changes across
time, and classified speeder types.2 3 NHTSA is continuing
these efforts and attempting to assist the development of more tailored
countermeasures by conducting this new study to evaluate additional
psychological factors that may predict speeding behavior.

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

    In order to design countermeasures that address directly the
factors that influence speeding behavior and intention to engage in
this behavior, it is necessary to understand as much as possible about
the internal reasoning of drivers who speed. Insight into factors such
as judgments about whether speeding is morally right or wrong and
perceptions of the legitimacy of the speed laws, enforcement, and
sanctions can help to develop tailored and effective interventions.
This study will examine these factors by conducting a survey of
speeders and non-speeders. NHTSA will use the findings to assist
States, localities, and communities in developing and refining
countermeasures that will aid in their efforts to reduce speeding
behavior and speeding-related crashes and injuries.
    NHTSA will disseminate the information from this study in a
technical report. The technical report will provide aggregate (summary)
statistics and tables as well as the results of statistical analysis of
the information, but it will not include any personally identifiable
information (PII). The technical report will be shared with State
highway offices, local governments, and those who develop traffic
safety communications that aim to reduce speeding behavior and
speeding-related crashes.
    Affected Public: Participants are eligible for the survey if they
are (1) licensed drivers in the State of Washington at the time the
sample is drawn; (2) age 18 and older; (3) randomly selected from the
total drivers in Washington State in three groups based on the number
of speeding convictions on their driver record (0; 1; and 2+).
    Estimated Number of Respondents: Participation in this study will
be voluntary. The study anticipates contacting up to 4,545 adult
licensed drivers from Washington State to obtain no more than 1,500
completed surveys.
    Frequency of Collection: The study will be conducted one time
during the three-year period for which NHTSA is requesting approval.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: NHTSA estimates the
approximate time to complete the survey is 20 minutes per participant.
Details of the burden hours for each wave in the survey are included in
Table 1 below. When rounded up to the nearest whole hour for each data
collection effort, the total estimated annual burden from the project
activities for 1,500 participants is 501 hours.
