DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

Order on Intent To Revoke Market-Based Rate Authority

Before Commissioners: Neil Chatterjee, Chairman; Cheryl A. LaFleur,
and Robert F. Powelson.

    1. Section 205 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C. 824d
(2012), and 18 CFR part 35 (2017), require, among other things, that
all rates, terms, and conditions for jurisdictional services be filed
with the Commission. In Order No. 2001, the Commission revised its
public utility filing requirements and established a requirement for
public utilities, including power marketers, to file Electric Quarterly
Reports.\1\

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

    2. The Commission requires sellers with market-based rate
authorization to file Electric Quarterly Reports summarizing
contractual and transaction information related to their market-based
power sales as a condition for retaining that authorization.\2\
Commission staff's review of the Electric Quarterly Reports indicates
that the following seven public utilities with market-based rate
authorization have failed to file their Electric Quarterly Reports:
Niagara Generation, LLC, C2K Energy, LLC, RDAF Energy Solutions, LLC,
Castlebridge Energy Group LLC, Intercom Energy, Inc., Chesapeake
Renewable Energy LLC, and EmpireCo Limited Partnership. This order
notifies these public utilities that their market-based rate
authorizations will be revoked unless they comply with the Commission's
requirements within 15 days of the date of issuance of this order.

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

    3. In Order No. 2001, the Commission stated that,
    [i]f a public utility fails to file a[n] Electric Quarterly Report
(without an appropriate request for extension), or fails to report an
agreement in a report, that public utility may forfeit its market-based
rate authority and may be required to file a new application for
market-based rate authority if it wishes to resume making sales at
market-based rates.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Order No. 2001, FERC Stats. & Regs. ] 31,127 at P 222.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    4. The Commission further stated that,
    [o]nce this rule becomes effective, the requirement to comply with
this rule will supersede the conditions in public utilities' market-
based rate authorizations, and failure to comply with the requirements
of this rule will subject public utilities to the same consequences
they would face for not satisfying the conditions in their rate
authorizations, including possible revocation of their authority to
make wholesale power sales at market-based rates.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Id. P 223.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    5. Pursuant to these requirements, the Commission has revoked the
market-based rate tariffs of market-based rate

sellers that failed to submit their Electric Quarterly Reports.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See, e.g., Electric Quarterly Reports, 80 FR 58,243 (Sep.
28, 2015); Electric Quarterly Reports, 79 FR 65,651 (Nov. 5, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    6. Sellers must file Electric Quarterly Reports consistent with the
procedures set forth in Order Nos. 2001, 768,\6\ and 770.\7\ The exact
filing dates for Electric Quarterly Reports are prescribed in 18 CFR
35.10b (2017). As noted above, Commission staff's review of the
Electric Quarterly Reports for the period up to the second quarter of
2017 identified seven public utilities with market-based rate
authorization that failed to file Electric Quarterly Reports.
Commission staff contacted or attempted to contact these entities to
remind them of their regulatory obligations. Despite these reminders,
the public utilities listed in the caption of this order have not met
these obligations. Accordingly, this order notifies these public
utilities that their market-based rate authorizations will be revoked
unless they comply with the Commission's requirements within 15 days of
the issuance of this order.

    \7\ Revisions to Electric Quarterly Report Filing Process, Order
No. 770, FERC Stats. & Regs. ] 31,338 (2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    7. In the event that any of the above-captioned market-based rate
sellers has already filed its Electric Quarterly Reports in compliance
with the Commission's requirements, its inclusion herein is
inadvertent. Such market-based rate seller is directed, within 15 days
of the date of issuance of this order, to make a filing with the
Commission identifying itself and providing details about its prior
filings that establish that it complied with the Commission's Electric
Quarterly Report filing requirements.
    8. If any of the above-captioned market-based rate sellers does not
wish to continue having market-based rate authority, it may file a
notice of cancellation with the Commission pursuant to section 205 of
the FPA to cancel its market-based rate tariff.
    The Commission orders:
    (A) Within 15 days of the date of issuance of this order, each
public utility listed in the caption of this order shall file with the
Commission all delinquent Electric Quarterly Reports. If a public
utility subject to this order fails to make the filings required in
this order, the Commission will revoke that public utility's market-
based rate authorization and will terminate its electric market-based
rate tariff. The Secretary is hereby directed, upon expiration of the
filing deadline in this order, to promptly issue a notice, effective on
the date of issuance, listing the public utilities whose tariffs have
been revoked for failure to comply with the requirements of this order
and the Commission's Electric Quarterly Report filing requirements.
    (B) The Secretary is hereby directed to publish this order in the
Federal Register.

    By the Commission.

    Issued: November 20, 2017.

Secretary.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 147

[EPA-HQ-OW-2012-0186; FRL-9924-94-OW]

State of Washington Underground Injection Control (UIC) Program
Revision Approval

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking
direct final action to approve the State of Washington Underground
Injection Control (UIC) Program revisions as required by rule under the
Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The Agency determined that the state's
program revisions are consistent with the

provisions of the SDWA and are as stringent as all applicable federal
regulations to prevent underground injection activities that endanger
underground sources of drinking water. The state revised its UIC Class
V Program regulations and transferred oversight authority from the
Department of Ecology to the Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council to
issue UIC permits at energy facilities.

DATES: This rule is effective on July 6, 2015 without further notice,
unless EPA receives adverse comment by May 6, 2015. If EPA receives
adverse comment, the Agency will publish a timely withdrawal in the
Federal Register informing the public that the rule will not take
effect. For judicial purposes, EPA promulgates this final rule as of
July 6, 2015. The incorporation by reference of certain publications
listed in the rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register
as of July 6, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Why is EPA issuing a direct final rule?

    EPA published this rule without a prior proposed rule because the
Agency views this action as noncontroversial and anticipates no adverse
comment. However, in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of this Federal
Register, EPA published a separate document that serves as the proposed
rule if the Agency receives adverse comments on this direct final rule.
The Agency will not institute a second comment period on this action.
Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time. For
further information about commenting on this rule, see the ADDRESSES
section of this document.
    If EPA receives adverse comment, the Agency will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register, informing the public that this
direct final rule will not take effect. The Agency will then address
all public comments in any subsequent final rule based on the proposed
rule.

II. Does this action apply to me?

CONTACT section.

III. Legal Authorities

    EPA approves the State of Washington Underground Injection Control
(UIC) Program revisions, as required by rule under the SDWA, to prevent
underground injection activities that endanger underground sources of
drinking water. The state revised its UIC Class V Program regulations
and transferred oversight authority from the Department of Ecology to
the Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council to issue UIC permits at
energy facilities. Accordingly, the Agency codifies the state
regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations at 40 CFR part 147 under
the authority of the SDWA, sections 1422 and 1450, 42 U.S.C. 300h-1 and
300j-9.
    The Agency's approval is based on a legal and technical review of
the state's program revision application as directed at 40 CFR part 145
and the requirements for state permitting and compliance evaluation
programs, enforcement authority and information sharing at 40 CFR parts
124 and 144, to determine that the state's revisions are as stringent
as all applicable federal regulations. EPA oversees the state's
administration of the UIC program; part of the Agency's oversight
responsibility requires quarterly reports of non-compliance and annual
UIC performance reports pursuant to 40 CFR 144.8. The Memorandum of
Agreement between EPA and the state, signed by the Regional
Administrator on February 15, 2011, provides the Agency with the
opportunity to review and comment on all permits. EPA continues to
administer the UIC Class V Program on Indian lands located within the
state.

IV. Washington's Application

A. Public Participation Activities Conducted by EPA

    On March 8, 2013, EPA published notice of Washington's Underground
Injection Control Program Revision application in the Federal Register
(78 FR 14951), the Seattle Times on March 6, 2013, and in the Yakima
Herald on March 7, 2013. The local notices provided for a public
hearing on April 8, 2013. No one attended the public hearing and no
public comments were received.

B. Incorporation by Reference

    This direct final rule amends 40 CFR part 147 and incorporates by
reference EPA-approved state statutes and regulations. The provisions
of the State of Washington's Code that contain standards, requirements
and procedures applicable to owners or operators of UIC well classes I,
II, III, IV, and V are incorporated by reference into 40 CFR part 147.
Any provisions incorporated by reference, as well as all permit
conditions or permit denials issued pursuant to such provisions, are
enforceable by EPA pursuant to section 1423 of the SDWA and 40 CFR
147.1(e).
    In order to better serve the public, the Agency reformatted the
codification of EPA-approved Washington SDWA section 1422 UIC Program
Statutes and Regulations for Well Classes I, II, III, IV, and V.
Instead of codifying the Washington Statutes and Regulations as
separate paragraphs, the Agency now codifies a binder that contains
EPA-approved Washington Statutes and Regulations for Well Classes I,
II, III, IV, and V. This binder is incorporated by reference into 40
CFR part 147 and available at http://www.regulations.gov in the docket
for this rule. The Agency also codifies a table listing EPA-approved
Washington Statutes and Regulations for Well Classes I, II, III, IV,
and V in 40 CFR part 147.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review

    This action is not a significant regulatory action and was
therefore not submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for review.

B. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This action does not impose any new information collection burden.
EPA determined that there is no need for an Information Collection
Request under the Paperwork Reduction Act because this direct final
rule does not impose any new federal reporting or recordkeeping
requirements. Reporting or recordkeeping requirements are based on the
State of Washington UIC Regulations, and the state is not subject to
the Paperwork Reduction Act. However, OMB has previously approved the
information collection requirements contained in the existing
regulations (40 CFR parts 144-148) under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. and assigned OMB
control number 2040-0042. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    I certify that this action will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. In
making this determination, the impact of concern is any significant
adverse economic impact on small entities. An agency may certify that a
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities if the rule relieves regulatory burden, has no
net burden or otherwise has a positive economic effect on the small
entities subject to the rule. This action does not impose any new
requirements on any regulated entities. It simply codifies the State of
Washington's Class V regulations, which are at least as stringent as
the federal regulations. We have therefore concluded that this action
will have no net regulatory

burden for all directly regulated small entities.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

    This action does not contain an unfunded mandate as described in
UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1521-1538. The action imposes no enforceable duty on any
state, local or tribal governments or the private sector.

 E. Executive Order 13132--Federalism

    This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have
substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship between
the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.

F. Executive Order 13175--Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments

    This action does not have tribal implications as specified in
Executive Order 13175 as explained in section V.C. Thus, Executive
Order 13175 does not apply to this action.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health & Safety Risks

    EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only to those
regulatory actions that concern environmental health or safety risks
that the Agency has reason to believe may disproportionately affect
children, per the definition of ``covered regulatory action'' in
section 2-202 of the Executive Order. This action is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 because it approves a state action as explained
in section V.C.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 because it is
not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)

    This rulemaking does not involve technical standards.

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

    EPA believes the human health or environmental risk addressed by
this action will not have potential disproportionately high and adverse
human health or environmental effects on minority, low-income or
indigenous populations because the rule does not affect or change the
level of protection provided to human health or the environment.

K. Congressional Review Act (CRA)

    This action is subject to the CRA, and EPA will submit a rule
report to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of
the United States. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry
entitled ``Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis:
Developing Drug Products for Treatment.'' The purpose of this draft
guidance is to assist sponsors in the development of drug products for
the treatment of CFS/ME.
    Currently, there are no approved therapies indicated to treat CFS/
ME. The lack of approved therapies indicated for the treatment of CFS/
ME represents a public health concern. To foster drug development in
CFS/ME, this draft guidance outlines the following key issues in drug
development in CFS/ME:
     The case definitions or criteria for CFS/ME that could be
used to define a patient population in the context of drug development

     Recommendations for establishing efficacy in CFS/ME based
on patient-reported symptoms and measurements of exercise capacity
     Recommended trial design and duration
     Recommendations for establishing safety in CFS/ME
    This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good
guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when
finalized, will represent the Agency's current thinking on developing
drug products for the treatment of CFS/ME. It does not create or confer
any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the
public. An alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies
the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations.

II. The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This guidance refers to previously approved collections of
information that are subject to review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520). The collections of information in 21 CFR part 314 have been
approved under OMB control number 0910-0001.

III. Comments

    Interested persons may submit either electronic comments regarding
this document to http://www.regulations.gov or written comments to the
Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES). It is only necessary to
send one set of comments. Identify comments with the docket number
found in brackets in the heading of this document. Received comments
may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4
p.m., Monday through Friday, and will be posted to the docket at http://www.regulations.gov.

NOTE SUBJECT: Meeting with Mr. John L. Berrey, Chairman, Quapaw Tribe, March 1, 2006 TO: File FROM: Stephen Hoffman DATE: 3/ 16/ 06 On March 1, 2006, Mr. John L. Berrey, Chairman, Quapaw Tribe met with Mr. Matt Hale, Director, Office of Solid Waste, USEPA at EPA's office in Arlington Virginia. Chairman Berrey also brought the tribe's outside counsel, Mr. J. Steven Griles of Lundquist, Nethercutt and Griles. USEPA staff attending the meeting included Matt Straus, Richard Kinch, and myself.

Chairman Berrey indicated that his primary goal was to remove as much chat out of the Tar Creek NPL site as quickly as possible. He indicated that the some of the BIA bids for chat had been rejected due to low prices, however he noted that the tribe had arranged for a chat sale to a company in Kansas. Chat from piles located in Pitcher Oklahoma would be purchased for use as aggregate in hot mix asphalt. Chairman Berrey stated that unwashed run of pile material had been tested by the Kansas Department of Transportation ( KDOT) and that the run of pile material met KDOT aggregate specification for use in hot mix asphalt for road surfaces.

Chairman Berrey said that the tribe would prefer a proposal which would not require sizing of chat since such a requirement would adversely affect the market for chat by increasing costs and that review of University of Oklahoma studies indicated that unsized chat used in asphalt did not present a threat to human health or the environment. Chairman Berrey said that the tribe was not opposed to requiring that chat be encapsulated in asphalt or concrete.
