SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Filings and Information Services, Washington, DC
20549.

Extension:
    Regulation G; OMB Control No. 3235-0576; SEC File No. 270-518.

    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'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget for extension and approval.
    Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
``Exchange Act'') requires registrants that publicly disclose material
information that includes a non-GAAP financial measure to provide a
reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
Regulation G implemented the requirements of Section 401 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We estimate that approximately 14,000
public companies must comply with Regulation G approximately six times
a year for a total of 84,000 responses annually. We estimated that it
takes approximately .5 hours per response (84,000 x .5 hours) for a
total reporting burden of 42,000 hours annually.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this 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
collections of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information on respondents, including
through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. Consideration will be given to comments and
suggestions submitted in writing within 60 days of this publication.
    Please direct your written comments to R. Corey Booth, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Office of Information Technology, Securities
and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549.

    Dated: October 7, 2005.

Assistant Secretary.

    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State
of Oklahoma resulting from severe storms and flooding during the
period of June 3-20, 2008, is of sufficient severity and magnitude
to warrant a major disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121-5206
(the Stafford Act). Therefore, I declare that such a major disaster
exists in the State of Oklahoma.
    In order to provide Federal assistance, you are hereby
authorized to allocate from funds available for these purposes such
amounts as you find necessary for Federal disaster assistance and
administrative expenses.
    You are authorized to provide Public Assistance in the
designated areas, Hazard Mitigation throughout the State, and any
other forms of assistance under the Stafford Act that you deem
appropriate. Consistent with the requirement that Federal assistance
be supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act
for Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75 percent of the total
eligible costs. Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for
Public Assistance also will be limited to 75 percent of the total
eligible costs, except for any particular projects that are eligible
for a higher Federal cost-sharing percentage under the FEMA Public
Assistance Pilot Program instituted pursuant to 6 U.S.C. 777. If
Other Needs Assistance under Section 408 of the Stafford Act is
later requested and warranted, Federal funding under that program
also will be limited to 75 percent of the total eligible costs.
    Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration
to the extent allowable under the Stafford Act.

    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice
that pursuant to the authority vested in the Administrator, under
Executive Order 12148, as amended, Justin A. Dombrowski, of FEMA is

Washington (District).
    e. Name of Project: Sullivan Creek Power Project.
    f. Location: The Sullivan Creek Power Project is located on
Sullivan Lake, Outlet Creek and Sullivan Creek, a tributary of Pend
Oreille River, in the vicinity of the town of Metaline Falls, Pend
Oreille County, Washington, and occupies lands of the United States
within the Colville National Forest. The project is not located on
Tribal lands.
    g. Filed Pursuant to: Section 23(b)(1) of the Federal Power Act, 16
U.S.C. 817(b).
    h. Applicant Contact: James B. Vasile, Davis Wright Tremaine LLP,
1500 K Street, NW., Suite 450, Washington, DC 20005. Telephone: (202)
508-6662; FAX:<PHONE_NUMBER>; e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    i. FERC Contact: Any questions on this notice should be addressed
to Henry G. Ecton<PHONE_NUMBER>, or E-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    j. Deadline for filing comments, protests, and/or motions: November
20, 2006.
    All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with:
Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426. Comments, protests, and/or interventions may be
filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper. Any questions,
please contact the Secretary's Office. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii)
and the instructions on the Commission's Web site at: http://www.ferc.gov
    Please include the docket number (DI07-1-000) on any protests,

comments or motions filed.
    k. Previous Commission Actions and Proposal of Petition: The
existing Sullivan Creek Power Project was constructed by Inland
Portland Cement Company in 1909. The District entered into an agreement
with Inland to purchase the project in 1957 and filed an application
for a license. The Federal Power Commission issued the license for
Project No. 2225 on November 25, 1958. The District proposed to operate
the project as a storage project benefiting downstream generation
projects (other than the Sullivan Creek plant) on the Pend Oreille
River and the Columbia Rivers. The project consists of Sullivan Lake
and dam, Mill Pond and dam, Mill Pond Historic Site, a flume and canal,
a forebay, a horseshoe-shaped tunnel power conduit, and a powerhouse.
Sullivan Lake has 31,000 acre-feet of active storage capacity. Sullivan
Lake Dam is a 58-foot-long by 29-foot-high concrete gravity dam. Mill
Pond has a 1,962 acre-foot capacity. Mill Pond Dam is a 134-foot-long
by 55-foot-high concrete gravity dam. Sullivan Lake stores and releases
about 31,000 acre-feet of water annually, in accordance with the
Pacific Northwest Coordination Agreement and its license. The District
gave notice in 2003 that it did not intend to seek a new license when
the current license expires on October 1, 2008.
    This petition requests the Commission to confirm that the Sullivan
Creek Project is not necessary or appropriate for any downstream unit
of development, because it is not directly connected to and has only
immaterial effects on downstream generation, and is therefore not
required to be licensed pursuant to Section 23(b)(1) of the Federal
Power Act. The petition also requests the Commission determine that the
existing license is null and void, since the Commission lacked
jurisdiction to issue a voluntary license under Section 4(e) in this
circumstance. In the alternative, if it is determined that the District
currently possesses a voluntary license, the petition requests the
Commissions to confirm that the District is not required to file a
surrender application or seek any other Commission authorization upon
the expiration of its license.
    When a Petition for Declaratory Order is filed with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, the Federal Power Act requires the
Commission to investigate and determine if the interests of interstate
or foreign commerce would be affected by the project. The Commission
also determines whether or not the project: (1) Would be located on a
navigable waterway; (2) would occupy or affect public lands or
reservations of the United States; (3) would utilize surplus water or
water power from a government dam; or (4) if applicable, has involved
or would involve any construction subsequent to 1935 that may have
increased or would increase the project's head or generating capacity,
or have otherwise significantly modified the project's pre-1935 design
or operation.
    l. Locations of the application: Copies of this filing are on file
with the Commission and are available for public inspection. This
filing may be viewed on the Web at http://www.ferc.gov using the

``eLibrary'' link, select ``Docket'' and follow the
instructions. For assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll-free at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or TTY,

contact<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    m. Individuals desiring to be included on the Commission's mailing
list should so indicate by writing to the Secretary of the Commission.
    n. Comments, Protests, And/Or Motions to Intervene--Anyone may
submit comments, a protest, and/or a motion to intervene in accordance
with the requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR
385.210, .211, .214. In determining the appropriate action to take, the
Commission will consider all protests or other comments filed, but only
those who file a motion to intervene in accordance with the
Commission's Rules may become a party to the proceeding. Any comments,
protests, or motions to intervene must be received on or before the
specified comment date for the particular application.
    o. Filing and Service of Responsive Documents--any filings must
bear in all capital letters the title ``COMMENTS'', ``PROTESTS'', AND/
OR ``MOTIONS TO INTERVENE'', as applicable, and the Docket Number of
the particular application to which the filing refers. A copy of any
motion to intervene must also be served upon each representative of the
applicant specified in the particular application.
    p. Agency Comments--Federal, state, and local agencies are invited
to file comments on the described application. A copy of the
application may be obtained by agencies directly from the applicant. If
an agency does not file comments within the time specified for filing
comments, it will be presumed to have no comments. One copy of an
