2222.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information
collection requirements in accord with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (PRA-95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that
information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs)
is minimal, collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA's
estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651
et seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the OSH Act or for developing
information regarding the causes and prevention of occupational
injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also
requires that OSHA obtain such information with minimum burden upon
employers, especially those operating small businesses, and to reduce
to the maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
    The Standard on Dipping and Coating Operations (29 CFR
1910.126(g)(4)) requires employers to post a conspicuous sign near each
piece of electrostatic detearing equipment that notifies employees of
the minimum safe distance they must maintain between goods undergoing
electrostatic detearing and the electrodes or conductors of the
equipment used in the process. Doing so reduces the likelihood of
igniting the explosive chemicals used in electrostatic detearing
operations.

II. Special Issues for Comment

    OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
     Whether the proposed information collection requirement is
necessary for the proper performance of the Agency's functions to
protect workers, including whether the information is useful;
     The accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and
costs) of the information collection requirement, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     The quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and
     Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply;
for example, by using automated or other technological information
collection and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

    OSHA is requesting that OMB extend its approval of the information
collection requirement contained in the Standard on Additional
Requirements for Special Dipping and Coating Operations (Dip Tanks) (29
CFR 1910.126(g)(4)). The Agency is requesting to retain its previous
burden hour estimate of one (1) hour. This provision requires the
employer to determine how far away goods being electrostatically
deteared should be separated from electrodes or conductors. This
distance is called the ``safe distance.'' This minimum distance must be
displayed conspicuously on a sign located near the equipment.
    OSHA has determined that where electrostatic equipment is being
used, the information has already been ascertained and that the ``safe
distance'' has been displayed on a sign in a permanent manner. The
Agency does not believe that this equipment is currently being
manufactured or used due to changes in technology. OSHA does not
believe there is any burden associated with the information collection
requirement in the provision and is, therefore, estimating zero burden
hours and no cost to the employer.
    The Agency will summarize the comments submitted in response to
this notice, and will include this summary in the request to OMB.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved information
collection.
    Title: Additional Requirements for Special Dipping and Coating
Operations (Dip Tanks) (29 CFR 1910.126(g)(4)).
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0237.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profits; Federal Government;
State, Local, or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 1.
    Frequency of Recordkeeping: On occasion.
    Total Responses: 1.
    Average Time per Response: 0.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 1.
    Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $0.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 14824-000]

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

    On January 18, 2017, Merchant Hydro Developers, LLC, filed an
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the
Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the
Girard Estate Pumped Storage Hydro Project to be located near Zerbe
Township in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. The sole purpose of a
preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit holder priority
to file a license application during the permit term. A preliminary
permit does not authorize the permit holder to perform any land-
disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by
others without the owners' express permission.
    The proposed project would consist of the following: (1) A new
upper reservoir with a surface area of 90 acres and a storage capacity
of 1,350 acre-feet at a surface elevation of approximately 1,400 feet
above mean sea level (msl) created through construction of a new
roller-compacted concrete or rock-filled dam; (2) a new lower
reservoir, including an existing abandoned mine pit, with a surface
area of 25 acres and a storage capacity of 1,620 acre-feet at a surface
elevation of 1,000 feet msl; (3) a new 2,242-foot-long, 48-inch-
diameter penstock connecting the upper and lower reservoirs; (4) a new
150-foot-long, 50-foot-wide, 25-foot-high powerhouse containing two
turbine-generator units with a total rated capacity of 44 megawatts;
