SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: FERC-725A(1B), (Mandatory Reliability Standards for the Bulk
Power System).
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0292.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-725A(1B)
information collection requirements with no changes to the current
reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

    Abstract: FERC-725A(1B).\1\ Under section 215 of the Federal Power
Act (FPA), the Commission proposes to approve Reliability Standards
TOP-010-1i (Real-time Reliability Monitoring and Analysis Capabilities)
submitted by North American Electric Corporation (NERC). In this order,
the Reliability Standards build on monitoring, real-time assessments
and support effective situational awareness. The Reliability Standards
accomplish this by requiring applicable entities to: (1) Provide
notification to operators of real-time monitoring alarm failures; (2)
provide operators with indications of the quality of information being
provided by their monitoring and analysis capabilities; and (3) address
deficiencies in the quality of information being provided by their
monitoring and analysis capabilities. FERC-725A(1B) addresses
situational awareness objectives by providing for operator awareness
when key alarming tools are not performing as intended. These
collections will improve real-time situational awareness capabilities
and enhance reliable operations by requiring reliability coordinators,
transmission operators, and balancing authorities to provide operators
with an improved awareness of system conditions analysis capabilities,
including alarm availability, so that operators may take appropriate
steps to ensure reliability. These functions include planning,
operations, data sharing, monitoring, and analysis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The 725(1B) collection was created as a temporary collection
number originally used at the time of the RD16-6-000, because OMB
cannot review two pending requests with the same OMB control no. at
a given time. The FERC 725A is again pending at OMB for an unrelated
matter, thus we are renewing the temporary number and the related
collection at this time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Type of Respondent: Balancing Authority (BA), Transmission
Operations (TOP) and Reliability Coordinators (RC).
    Estimate of Annual Burden: \2\ The Commission estimates the total
annual burden and cost for this information collection in the table
below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ ``Burden'' is 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. For further
explanation of what is included in the information collection
burden, refer to title 5 Code of Federal Regulations 1320.3.

other forms of information technology.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Our estimates are based on the NERC Compliance Registry
Summary of Entities and Functions as of November 4, 2022, which
indicates there are 266 entities registered as BA and TOP.
    \4\ The number of respondents is the number of entities in which
a change in burden from the current standards to the proposed
standards exists, not the total number of entities from the current
or proposed standards that are applicable.
    \5\ The estimated hourly costs (salary plus benefits) are based
on Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) information, as of May 2022 (at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Title 5, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) section 1320.8(d),
requires PHMSA to provide interested members of the public and affected
agencies the opportunity to comment on information collection and
recordkeeping requests before they are submitted to OMB for approval.
In accordance with this regulation, on June 16, 2022, (87 FR 36373)
PHMSA published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on its plan to renew, without change, three
information collections that are due to expire in 2023. PHMSA received
no comments in response to the proposed renewal of these information
collection requests. This notice announces that PHMSA will submit the
information collection requests abstracted below to OMB for approval.

    The following information is provided for each information
collection: (1) Title of the information collection; (2) OMB control
number; (3) Current expiration date; (4) Type of request; (5) Abstract
of the information collection activity; (6) Description of affected
public; (7) Estimate of total annual reporting and recordkeeping
burden; and (8) Frequency of collection.
    PHMSA will request a three-year term of approval for each
information collection. PHMSA requests comments on the following
information:
    1. Title: Reporting Safety-Related Conditions on Gas, Hazardous
Liquid, and Carbon Dioxide Pipelines and Liquefied Natural Gas
Facilities.
    OMB Control Number: 2137-0578.
    Current Expiration Date: 1/31/2023.
    Type of Request: Renewal of a currently approved information
collection.
    Abstract: 49 CFR 191.23 and 195.55 require each operator of a
pipeline facility (except master meter operators) to submit to PHMSA a
written report on any safety-related condition that causes or has
caused a significant change or restriction in the operation of a
pipeline facility or a condition that is a hazard to life, property or
the environment. This information collection supports the PHMSA
strategic goal of safety by reducing the number of incidents in natural
gas, hazardous liquid, and carbon dioxide pipelines as well as in
liquefied natural gas facilities.
    Affected Public: Operators of Natural Gas, Hazardous Liquid, and
Carbon Dioxide Pipelines and Liquefied Natural Gas Facilities.
    Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden:
    Total Annual Responses: 174.
    Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,044.
    Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
    2. Title: Hazardous Liquid Operator Notifications.
    OMB Control Number: 2137-0630.
    Current Expiration Date: 1/31/2023.
    Type of Request: Renewal of a currently approved information
collection.
    Abstract: The pipeline safety regulations contained within 49 CFR
part 195 require hazardous liquid operators to notify PHMSA in various
instances. Section 195.414 requires hazardous liquid operators who are
unable to inspect their pipeline facilities within 72 hours of an
extreme weather event to notify the appropriate PHMSA Region Director
as soon as practicable. Section 195.452 requires operators of pipelines
that cannot accommodate an in-line inspection tool to file a petition
in compliance with Sec.  190.9. These mandatory notifications help
PHMSA to stay abreast of issues related to the health and safety of the
nation's pipeline infrastructure.
    Affected Public: Hazardous liquid pipeline operators.
    Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden:
    Estimated number of responses: 110.
    Estimated annual burden hours: 125.
    Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
    3. Title: Notification Requirements for Gas Transmission Pipelines.
    OMB Control Number: 2137-0636.
    Current Expiration Date: 1/31/2023.
    Type of Request: Renewal of a currently approved information
collection.
    Abstract: The pipeline safety regulations contained within 49 CFR
part 192 require operators to make various notifications upon the
occurrence of certain events. Section 192.506(g) requires that
operators who use alternative technologies or evaluation processes when
conducting spike hydrostatic pressure tests to notify PHMSA at least 90
days in advance. Section 192.607(e)(4) specifies the reporting
requirements associated with the expanded sampling and testing programs
required (under Sec.  192.607(e)) when sampling of unknown material
properties on onshore steel transmission pipelines identify unknown or
unexpected materials. Section 192.607(e)(5) requires that operators who
use alternative statistical sampling approaches when verifying unknown
materials properties to notify PHMSA at least 90 days in advance and
provide information about the alternative program.
    Section 192.624(b)(4) allows operators to petition for an extension
of the completion deadlines to reconfirm maximum allowable operating
pressure (MAOP) by up to one year if they provide an up-to-date plan,
the reason for the requested extension, current status, completion
date, remediation activities outstanding, and other factors. Section
192.624(c)(2)(iii) requires that operators notify PHMSA when they
choose to use a less conservative pressure reduction factor or longer
look-back period when reconfirming MAOP under Sec.  192.624(c). Section
192.624(c)(3)(iii)(A) requires operators to notify PHMSA at least 90
days in advance when using an ``other technology'' besides those
enumerated in Sec.  192.624(c)(3) for reconfirming MAOP using
engineering critical assessment and analysis.
    Section 192.624(c)(6) requires operators to notify PHMSA at least
90 days in advance of using an alternative technical evaluation process
in reconfirming MAOP in onshore steel transmission pipelines. Section
192.712(e)(2)(i)(E) allows operators to use other appropriate Charpy
energy values (other than those specified in Sec.  192.712(e)(2)(i)) if
they notify PHMSA in advance.
    Section 192.921(a)(7) requires operators to notify PHMSA (and
applicable state and local authorities) at least 90 days in advance of
using alternative baseline integrity assessment methods. Section
192.937(c)(7) requires operators to notify PHMSA (and applicable state
and local authorities) at least 90 days in advance of using alternative
ongoing integrity assessment methods.
    These mandatory notifications help PHMSA to stay abreast of issues
related to the health and safety of the nation's pipeline
infrastructure. These notification requirements are necessary to ensure
safe operation of transmission pipelines, ascertain compliance with gas
pipeline safety regulations, and to provide a background for incident
investigations.
    Affected Public: Operators of natural gas transmission pipelines.
    Estimated number of responses: 722.
    Estimated annual burden hours: 1,070.
    Frequency of collection: On occasion.
    Comments are invited on:
    (a) The need for the renewal and revision of this collection of
information 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,
    (c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
    (d) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are required to respond, including the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Emergency Planning and Release Notification Requirements under Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act Sections 302, 303, and 304, OMB Control Number 2050   0092, EPA ICR Number 1395.05, expiring January 31, 2003. This is a request for extension of a currently approved collection. Abstract: EPCRA established broad emergency planning and facility reporting requirements. Section 302 ( 40 CFR 355.30) requires facilities where an extremely hazardous substances ( EHS) is present in an amount at or in excess of the threshold planning quantity ( TPQ) to notify the State Emergency Response Commission ( SERC) by May 17, 1987. This activity has been completed; the section 302 costs and burden hours for this ICR, therefore, reflect only the estimate of cost and burden incurred by newly regulated facilities during years 2000 to 2002. Section 303 ( 40 CFR 355.300 requires local emergency planning committees ( LEPCs) to prepare local emergency plans. Facilities subject to section 302 are required to provide information for the development and implementation of these local emergency plans. Section 304 ( 40 CFR 355.40) requires facilities to report to SERCs and LEPCs releases of EHSs and hazardous substances in excess of reportable quantities established by EPA. In addition, these facilities must provide written followup information on the release, its impacts, and any actions taken in response to the release. 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. The Federal Register document required under 5 CFR 1320.8( d), soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on August 12, 2002 ( 67 FR 52481); no comments were received. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average for emergency planning under 40 CFR 355.30 is 16.15 hours for new and newly regulated facilities and 1.50 hours for existing facilities. For a limited number of existing facilities, there may be a burden to inform the LEPC of any changes at a facility that may affect emergency planning ( 1.50 hours). The average reporting burden for facilities reporting releases under 40 CFR 355.40 is estimated to average approximately 5 hours per release, including the time for determining if the release is a reportable quantity, notifying the LEPC and SERC, or the 911 operator, and developing and submitting a written follow up notice. There are no recordkeeping requirements for facilities under EPCRA sections 302   304. The average burden for emergency planning activities under 40 CFR 300.215 is 21 hours per plan for LEPCs, 16 hours per plan for SERCs. Each SERC and LEPC is also estimated to incur an annual recordkeeping burden of 10 hours. 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 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. Respondents/ Affected Entities: Facilities where extremely hazardous substances are present, LEPCs and SERCs. Estimated Number of Respondents: 82,260. Frequency of Response: Section 302 respondents will comply with requirements once unless new information becomes available. Section 303 respondents will comply with requirements as requested by LEPCs; LEPCs may have to update their local emergency response plans as new facilities or other information such as new chemicals present at or above a TPQ. Section 304 respondents will comply when there is a release of an EHS above the RQ. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 212,460 hours. Estimated Total Annualized Capital, O& M Cost Burden: $ 15,160. Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of automated collection techniques to the addresses listed above. Please refer to EPA ICR No. 1395.05 and OMB Control No. 2050   0092 in any correspondence.

Title: NSPS for Metal Furniture Coating   subpart EE ( OMB Control No. 2060   0106, EPA ICR No. 0649.08). This is a request to renew an existing approved collection that is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2003. Under the OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards for Metal Furniture Coating   subpart EE were proposed on November 28, 1980 and promulgated on October 29, 1982. These standards apply to each metal furniture surface coating operation in which organic coatings are applied ( greater than 3,842 liters of coating per year), commencing construction, modification or reconstruction after November 28, 1980. Approximately three hundred ninety seven ( 397) sources are currently subject to the regulation, and it is estimated that an additional thirty ( 30) sources per year will become subject to the regulation in the next three years while an equal number will go off line during this time period. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart EE. Owners or operators of the affected facilities described must make initial reports when a source becomes subject, conduct and report on a performance test, demonstrate and report on continuous monitor performance, and maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility. Semiannual reports of excess emissions are required. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance; and are required, in general, of all sources subject to NSPS. 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 2 years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports, and records. The estimated total cost of this ICR will be $ 836,540 per year over the next three years. All reports are sent to the delegated State or Local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPA Regional Office. 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, and are identified on the form and/ or instrument, if applicable. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 71 hours per response. 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 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. Respondents/ Affected Entities: Owners/ Operators of metal furniture coating facilities. Estimated Number of Respondents: 397. Frequency of Response: semiannual for all, every other year for excess emission report. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 73,181 hours. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $ 5,016,640, includes $ 4,180,100 labor costs and $ 836,540 non labor costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 27,889 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to a correction in the number of facilities based on a review of records incorporated into EPA's Integrated Data VerDate 0ct< 31> 2002 19: 49 Dec 23, 2002 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00047 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\ FR\ FM\ 24DEN1.

Title: NSPS Grain Elevators   subpart DD ( OMB Control No. 2060   0082; EPA ICR No. 1130.07). This is a request to renew a collection that is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2003. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. Abstract: This ICR contains recordkeeping and reporting requirements that are mandatory for compliance with 40 CFR 60.300, et seq., subpart DD, New Source Performance Standards for Grain Elevators. This information notifies EPA when a source becomes subject to the regulations, informs the Agency if a source is in compliance. In the Administrator's judgment, particulate matter emissions from grain elevators cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, NSPS were promulgated for this source category, as required under section 111 of the Clean Air Act. Controlling emissions of particulate matter from grain elevators requires not only the installation of properly designed equipment, but also the operation and maintenance of that equipment. Particulate emissions from grain elevators are the result of grain drying and grain handling operations, including loading and unloading. These standards rely on the proper operation of particulate control devices such as baghouses and equipment such as shed doors and spouts designed to reduce particulate emission during grain unloading and loading. Owners or operators of the affected facilities subject to NSPS subpart DD must make the following one time only reports: notification of the date of construction or reconstruction; notification of the anticipated and actual dates of startup; notification of any physical or operational change to an existing facility that may increase the rate of emission of the regulated pollutant; notification of the date of the initial performance test; and the results of the initial performance test, including information necessary to determine the conditions of the performance test and performance test measurements and results, including particulate matter concentration and opacity. 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, as well as the nature and cause of the malfunction ( if known) and corrective measures taken. These notifications, reports and records are required, in general, of all sources subject to NSPS.

II. Background

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    Under section 4 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is reevaluating existing pesticides to
ensure that they meet current scientific and regulatory standards. EPA
has completed a Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) for the
pesticide, pyrethrins under section 4(g)(2)(A) of FIFRA. Pyrethrins are
botanical insecticides derived from the flowers of Chrysanthemum
cinerariaefolium. Pyrethrins are used in four general ways: Pre-harvest
and post-harvest uses on many agricultural crops; direct and indirect
treatments of livestock animals and premises; treatments of commercial
and industrial facilities and storage areas where raw and processed
food/feed commodities are stored or processed; and wide area mosquito
abatement use. EPA has determined that the data base to support
reregistration is substantially complete and that products containing
pyrethrins are eligible for reregistration, provided the risks are
mitigated in the manner described in the RED. Upon submission of any
required product specific data under section 4(g)(2)(B) and any
necessary changes to the registration and labeling (either to address
concerns identified in the RED or as a result of product specific
data), EPA will make a final reregistration decision under section
4(g)(2)(C) for products containing pyrethrins.
    EPA must review tolerances and tolerance exemptions that were in
effect when the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) was enacted in
August 1996, to ensure that these existing pesticide residue limits for
food and feed commodities meet the safety standard established by the
new law. Tolerances are considered reassessed once the safety finding
has been made or a revocation occurs. EPA has reviewed and made the
requisite safety finding for the pyrethrins tolerances included in this
notice.
    EPA is applying the principles of public participation to all
pesticides undergoing reregistration and tolerance reassessment. The
Agency's Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment and Reregistration; Public
Participation Process, published in the Federal Register on May 14,
2004, (69 FR 26819)(FRL-7357-9) explains that in conducting these
programs, EPA is tailoring its public participation process to be
commensurate with the level of risk, extent of use, complexity of
issues, and degree of public concern associated with each pesticide.
Due to its uses, risks, and other factors, pyrethrins was reviewed
through the full 6-Phase process. Through this process, EPA worked
extensively with stakeholders and the public to reach the regulatory
decisions for pyrethrins.
    The reregistration program is being conducted under Congressionally
mandated time frames, and EPA recognizes the need both to make timely
decisions and to involve the public. The Agency is issuing the
pyrethrins RED for public comment. This comment period is intended to
provide an additional opportunity for public input and a mechanism for
initiating any necessary

amendments to the RED. All comments should be submitted using the
methods in ADDRESSES, and must be received by EPA on or before the
closing date. These comments will become part of the Agency Docket for
pyrethrins. Comments received after the close of the comment period
will be marked ``late.'' EPA is not required to consider these late
comments.
    The Agency will carefully consider all comments received by the
closing date and will provide a Response to Comments Memorandum in the
Docket and regulations.gov. If any comment significantly affects the
document, EPA also will publish an amendment to the RED in the Federal
Register. In the absence of substantive comments requiring changes, the
pyrethrins RED will be implemented as it is now presented.

B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA as amended directs that, after submission
of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, the Administrator
shall determine whether pesticides containing such active ingredient
are eligible for reregistration, before calling in product specific
data on individual end-use products and either reregistering products
or taking other ``appropriate regulatory action.''
    Section 408(q) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA),
21 U.S.C. 346a(q), requires EPA to review tolerances and exemptions for
pesticide residues in effect as of August 2, 1996, to determine whether
the tolerance or exemption meets the requirements of section 408(b)(2)
or (c)(2) of FFDCA. This review is to be completed by August 3, 2006.

[Docket No. RM95-4-000]

Revision to Uniform System Accounts, Form, Statements, and
Reporting Requirements for Natural Gas Companies; Notice of Correction

March 23, 2007.
AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of Correction to FERC Forms No. 2 and 2-A.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is making corrections
to the General Information Instruction for its FERC Form 2-A. to bring
them back in accordance with requirements of its regulations and Order
No. 581. By this notice, the Commission is requiring the filing of a
CPA Certification Statement with the original and each copy of FERC
Form No. 2 and 2-A rather than allowing such filings 30 days after the
filing of the forms. The Commission is also allowing submittal in a
flexible format.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeffrey W. Honeycutt, Division of
Financial Regulation, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20246,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    1. In Order No. 581, the Commission revised section 158.11 of the
Commission's regulations, Report of Certification,\1\ to require the
filing of the letter or report of the independent accountant's
certifying approval (CPA Certification Statement) with the original and
each copy of the FERC Form No. 2 or FERC Form No. 2-A rather than
allowing such filings within 30 days after filing the FERC Form Nos. 2
or 2-A. Additionally, the Commission changed General Information
Instruction III to replace the CPA Certification Statement with a
flexible format that enabled the respondent's independent accountant to
prepare its certification statement in accordance with current
standards of reporting and still attest as to the conformity of listed
schedules with the Commission's Uniform System of Accounts and the
Chief Accountant's published accounting releases.\2\

1996), FERC Stats. & Regs. ] 31,032 (1996); see 18 CFR Sec.  158.10.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2. Subsequent to implementing the revisions required by Order No.
581, in the conversion to the current electronic submission format,
eForms, the General Information Instruction concerning the CPA
Certification Statement requirements was inadvertently changed to allow
the certification to be submitted within 30 days after the filing of
the FERC Form Nos. 2 or 2-A, and to remove the flexible format.
    3. Therefore, to bring the General Information Instruction back
into accord with the requirements of the Commission's regulations and
Order No. 581, General Information Instruction III to the FERC Form
Nos. 2 and 2-A is corrected as follows. The clause allowing for the CPA
Certification Statement to be submitted within 30 days after the filing
date of the FERC Form Nos. 2 or 2-A is deleted. The clause directing
the standardized format of the CPA Certification Statement is also
deleted, allowing the independent auditor to use a flexible format as
prescribed in Order No. 581. The corrected paragraph, prescribed in
Order No. 581, thus will read as follows:

    For the CPA certification, submit with the original submission
of this form, a letter or report (not applicable to respondents
classified as Class C or Class D prior to January 1, 1984) prepared
in conformity with current standards of reporting which will: * * *

    Finally, we will direct the Secretary to publish this notice in the
Federal Register

    By direction of the Commission.
