Controls Needed Although there are no upstream temperature data available, Exhibit A 15 indicates that the water downstream of the discharge is meeting the current State rearing and spawning criterion. However, the stream is exceeding EPA's proposed rearing criterion in July and August and the proposed spawning criterion in June.

Oregon's current WQS prohibit any receiving water temperature increase greater than 0.14

C above the applicable criterion in waters that exceed the criterion. However, if the stream is not exceeding the criterion, EPA assumed that no increase in temperature at the edge of the mixing zone is allowed. Exhibit A 16 summarizes how the effluent is most likely affecting stream temperature compared to the current criteria and the proposed criteria. September 2003 Appendix A. Facility Analyses A   13 Exhibit A 16 indicates that the facility's current discharge would not cause a temperature increase above the current State criteria at the edge of the mixing zone, and would not contribute to an instream exceedance of greater than 0.14

C above EPA's revised criteria. Therefore, the facility would not likely incur costs associated with EPA's proposed rule.

Facility Analyses A   14 Siletz Sewage Treatment Plant Facility Description The Siletz Sewage Treatment Plant ( NPDES No. OR0020419) is located in Lincoln County, Oregon. The facility has an average dry weather design flow of 0.157 mgd and treats domestic wastewater from the City of Siletz. With the exception of a local microbrewery, there are no significant commercial or industrial dischargers, and the facility does not receive septage. The facility discharges to the Siletz River at river mile 38.1 in the Mid Coast basin. EPA classifies the discharge as a minor discharge.

Treatment Processes The facility's 1998 permit evaluation sheet indicates that current treatment processes consist of headworks, surge basin, continuous feed sequencing batch reactor activated sludge, and ultraviolet disinfection. All biosolids are stored in a synthetic lined facultative sludge lagoon. The lagoon has been in operation for five years, and no biosolids have been removed.

Applicable Designated Uses and Criteria The Siletz River is currently designated for salmonid spawning from September 15 to May 31, and for salmonid rearing the remainder of the year. EPA revised the time period for which the salmonid spawning criterion apply to September 1 to June 15, and the salmonid rearing criteria to 16

C ( from 17.8

C) for core juvenile rearing. The rearing criterion applies as a summer maximum. Exhibit A 17 summarizes the applicable criterion and designated uses.

Exhibit A 20 indicates that the facility's current discharge would not contribute to an instream temperature exceedance of greater than 0.14

C above the current or revised criteria. Therefore, the facility would likely not incur costs associated with EPA's proposed rule. September 2003 Appendix A. Facility Analyses A   17 Stayton Wastewater Treatment Plant Facility Description The City of Stayton Wastewater Treatment Plant ( NPDES No. OR0020427) is located in Marion County, Oregon. The treatment plant began operation in 1996, and a second phase of construction is planned to handle increased flow or loadings. The facility serves about 7,000 residents in the City of Stayton. EPA classifies the discharge as a major discharge. The facility has a peak wet weather design flow of 3.91 mgd, and discharges to the North Santiam River at river mile 15.0 through a multiport diffuser.

Treatment Processes The facility's 1998 permit evaluation report indicates that current treatment processes consist of headworks, oxidation ditch, secondary clarification consisting of sequencing batch reactors, and ultraviolet disinfection. Solids are dewatered with a belt filter press and aerobically digested. Sludge is stabilized with lime and sent to storage before being land applied.

Applicable Uses and Criteria The North Santiam River at river mile 15.0 is currently designated for salmonid spawning from September 15 to June 30 and salmonid rearing the remainder of the year. EPA revised the time period for which the salmonid spawning criterion apply to September 1 to June 15, and the salmonid rearing criteria to 16

Summary of Receiving Water Data The only applicable receiving water station with recent ( e. g., data from 1990 or later) and sufficient temperature data is located about 7.5 miles upstream of the facility. Exhibit A 23 summarizes the maximum monthly temperatures from June 2000 through September 2001. A separate data appendix contains the underlying daily temperature recordings.

Controls Needed Exhibit A 23 indicates that the stream does not meet the current and revised rearing criterion in July, August, and September ( usually the warmest months of the year), and also does not meet the current and revised spawning criterion in September and June. There are no receiving water data for the remaining spawning time period of October to May.

Oregon's current WQS prohibit any receiving water temperature increase greater than 0.14

C above the applicable criterion. Exhibit A 24 summarizes how the effluent is most likely affecting stream temperature compared to the current criteria and the proposed criteria.

Exhibit A 24 indicates that the facility's current discharge would contribute to an instream temperature exceedance of greater than 0.14

C above current or revised criteria. To meet the current State criterion for rearing, the facility would have to decrease its average maximum September 2003 Appendix A. Facility Analyses A   19 monthly effluent temperature during the summer to 21.4

C ( less than 1

C). An additional 1.8

C decrease in temperature ( an effluent temperature of 19.6

C) would be necessary to meet the revised rearing criterion. For compliance with the State spawning criterion the facility would have to reduce their average maximum effluent temperature from September 15 to June 30 to 16.4

C ( about 4.2

C). For compliance with EPA's proposed spawning criterion, the facility would need to extend the temperature reduction for an additional two week period ( September 1 to June 15).

The facility does not currently have a temperature management plan ( TMP). Under current State WQS, the facility would be required to develop a TMP because it has been shown that the discharge is contributing to an exceedance of the current criteria. Based on TMPs from similar facilities, the facility would most likely pursue low cost options first. EPA assumed that the facility would most likely pursue process optimization or a waste minimization program to reduce temperatures to meet the current State rearing criterion ( since only a 0.2

C decrease is necessary). To meet the current State spawning criterion, EPA assumed that the facility would use a combination of land application/ water reuse and discharge in September ( after the 15th), October, November, May, and June. Based on current effluent temperatures, peak effluent flows, and available dilution, EPA calculated that the facility could discharge to the receiving water up to 1.5 mgd in May, 1.6 mgd in November, and about 1.0 mgd in September, October, and June, with the remaining discharge ( 1.6 mgd in May, 3.5 mgd in November, about 0.26 mgd in October and June, and 0.36 mgd in September) being land applied or reused by another facility ( e. g., industrial facility, park, farm). September 2003 Appendix A. Facility Analyses A   20 These measures would also reduce effluent temperatures to the levels necessary for compliance with EPA's proposed spawning and rearing criteria. However the facility would incur incremental costs of extending such treatment options to a longer time period ( change in spawning time period and addition of rearing months).

Exhibit A 25 summarizes the control costs associated with reducing effluent temperatures to the required levels. EPA assumed that the facility would land apply or reuse the portion of the effluent it could not discharge. The costs represent the incremental costs necessary for land application or effluent reuse for July, August, and the first half of September.

Facility Analyses A   21 Sweet Home Wastewater Treatment Plant Facility Description The Sweet Home WWTP ( NPDES No. OR0020346) is located in Linn County, Oregon. The facility was constructed in 1947 and upgraded to an activated sludge treatment plant in 1974. The facility has an average dry weather design flow of 1.38 mgd and treats domestic and industrial wastewater from the Sweet Home area. EPA classifies the discharge as a major discharge. The facility discharges to the South Santiam River at river mile 33.6 in the Willamette basin.

Treatment Processes The facility's 1998 permit fact sheet indicates that current treatment processes consist of headworks, aeration, secondary clarification, sand filtration, and chlorination/ dechlorination. Sludge is digested and dewatered in a belt filter press. Lime is added to the pressed sludge prior to land application.

Applicable Criteria and Designated Uses The South Santiam River is currently designated for salmonid spawning from September 15 to May 31, and for salmonid rearing the remainder of the year. EPA revised the time period for which the salmonid spawning criterion apply to September 1 to May 15, and the salmonid rearing criteria to 16

Controls Needed Exhibit A 28 indicates that the stream meets the current and revised rearing criteria. The stream also meets the current and revised spawning criteria in September. There are no data for the spawning months of October through May.

The facility is currently discharging at temperatures below 16

C, and therefore, would not likely incur costs associated with the revised rearing criterion. However, the facility could have the potential to cause an increase in temperature during the spawning period because effluent temperatures during the spawning time period exceed the spawning temperature criterion.

Oregon's current WQS prohibit any receiving water temperature increase greater than 0.14

C above the applicable criterion in waters exceeding the criterion. In waters attaining the criterion, EPA assumed that no increase above the criterion is allowed at the edge of the mixing zone. Exhibit A 30 summarizes how the effluent is most likely affecting stream temperature compared to the current and proposed spawning criteria.

Exhibit A 29 indicates that the facility's current discharge would contribute to an instream temperature exceedance above the current spawning criterion of 12.8

C). The facility is currently in compliance with EPA's proposed spawning criterion of 13

C.

The facility does not currently have a temperature management plan ( TMP). Under current State WQS, the facility would be required to develop a TMP because the discharge is contributing to an exceedance of the current spawning criterion. Based on TMPs from similar facilities and the relatively small temperature reductions needed to meet the current criterion, the facility would most likely pursue process optimization ( e. g., switch to fine bubble aeration, install shade cloths, etc). These measures would also ensure compliance with EPA's revised spawning criterion as well. Therefore, the facility would not likely incur costs associated with this rule because controls implemented to meet the current State criteria will also achieve EPA's proposed criteria.

The facility manufactures unbleached linerboard in weights from 30.7#  96# per thousand square feet for high performance, export, and white top grades. The facility has seven permitted outfalls. Outfall 001 is process water, outfall 001A is a combination of process water, storm water, and treated groundwater, outfalls 002 and 003 are cooling water, and outfalls 004, 005, and 006 are made up of steam condensate, eye wash, treated river water, and drinking fountain water. Only outfalls 001, 001A, and 002 are discharged into the McKenzie River ( the remaining outfalls enter a storm ditch and are treated as storm water). Outfalls 001 and 001A have a maximum summer flow of about 13.8 mgd and outfall 002 has a maximum summer flow of about 12.7 mgd. Outfalls 001 and 001A discharge to the McKenzie River at river mile 14.7, and outfall 002 discharges at river mile 15.5.

Treatment Processes Site specific treatment process information is not available for this facility. However, the facility's permit renewal application indicates that all process wastewater and other miscellaneous chemicals associated with the production operations are treated in a biological effluent treatment system prior to discharge. Non contact cooling water ( outfall 002) is sent to cooling ponds prior to discharge.

Applicable Uses and Criteria The McKenzie River is currently designated for salmonid rearing all year round. EPA revised the salmonid rearing criteria to 16

Controls Needed Exhibit A 32 indicates that the stream does not meet the current or the revised rearing criteria in July and August ( typically the warmest months of the year). Exhibit A 33 summarizes how the effluent is most likely affecting stream temperature compared to the current and proposed rearing criteria.

Oregon's current WQS prohibit any receiving water temperature increase greater than 0.14

C above the applicable criterion, however, the facility's current permit allows a temperature increase of 1.1

C downstream of outfall 001. Exhibit A 33 indicates that the facility's current discharges from both outfall 001 and outfall 002 would contribute to an instream temperature exceedance of greater than 0.14

C above current and revised rearing criteria. To meet the current State criterion for rearing, the facility would have to decrease its average maximum effluent temperature for outfall 001 to 21.9

C, and 30.8

C for outfall 002. For compliance with EPA's proposed rearing criterion, the facility would need an additional 2.3

C decrease in effluent temperature for outfall 001, from 21.9

The facility does not currently have a temperature management plan ( TMP). Under current State WQS the facility would be required to develop a TMP because the discharge is contributing to an exceedance of the current rearing criterion. EPA assumed that under its TMP the facility would install cooling towers for a portion of the flows from outfalls 001 and 002 to reduce effluent temperatures to the necessary levels for compliance with the current standards. The cooling towers would also reduce effluent temperatures to the levels necessary for compliance with EPA's proposed criterion. However the facility would incur incremental costs of extending such treatment options to a greater flow ( for the greater temperature reduction). Exhibit A 34 summarizes the control costs associated with reducing effluent temperatures to the required levels.

[Docket No. FRA-1999-6439, Notice No. 22]

Adjustment of Nationwide Significant Risk Threshold

AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of Adjustment of Nationwide Significant Risk Threshold.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with Appendix D to Title 49 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) Part 222, Use of Locomotive Horns at Highway-Rail
Grade Crossings, FRA is updating the Nationwide Significant Risk
Threshold (NSRT). This action is needed to ensure that the public has
the proper threshold of permissible risk for calculating quiet zones
established in relationship to the NSRT. This is the fourth update to
the

NSRT, which has fallen from 18,775 to 14,007.

DATES: The effective date is December 29, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Ronald Ries, Office of Railroad
Safety, FRA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590, (202)
493-6299, or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or Kathryn Shelton, Office of Chief
Counsel, FRA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590, (202)
493-6038, or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The NSRT is an average of the risk indexes for gated public
crossings nationwide where train horns are routinely sounded. FRA
developed this risk index to serve as one threshold of permissible risk
for quiet zones established under this rule across the nation. Thus, a
community that is trying to establish and/or maintain its quiet zone,
pursuant to 49 CFR part 222, can compare the Quiet Zone Risk Index
calculated for its specific crossing corridor to the NSRT to determine
whether sufficient measures have been taken to compensate for the
excess risk that results from prohibiting routine sounding of the
locomotive horn. (In the alternative, a community can establish its
quiet zone in comparison to the Risk Index With Horns, which is a
corridor-specific measure of risk to the motoring public when
locomotive horns are routinely sounded at every public highway-rail
grade crossing within the quiet zone.)
    In 2006, when the final rule titled, ``Use of Locomotive Horns at
Highway-Rail Grade Crossings,'' was amended, the NSRT was 17,030 (71 FR
47614, August 17, 2006). In 2007, FRA recalculated the NSRT to be
19,047 (72 FR 14850, March 29, 2007). In 2008, FRA recalculated the
NSRT to be 17,610 (73 FR 30661, May 28, 2008). In 2009, FRA
recalculated the NSRT to be 18,775 (74 FR 45270, September 1, 2009).

New NSRT

    Using collision data from 2005 to 2009, FRA has recalculated the
NSRT based on formulas identified in Appendix D to 49 CFR Part 222. In
making this recalculation, FRA noted that the total number of gated,
non-whistle-ban crossings was 41,326.
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TN29DE10.025

Applying the fatality rate and injury rate to the probable number of
fatalities and casualties predicted to occur at each of the 41,326
identified crossings and the predicted cost of the associated injuries
and fatalities, FRA calculates the NSRT to be 14,007.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on December 22, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This action is directed to the public in general. As such, the
Agency has not attempted to describe the specific entities that this
action may apply to. Although others may be affected, this action
applies directly to the submitters of the actions addressed in this
document.

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.

II. What action is the Agency taking?

    This document provides receipt and status reports, which cover the
period from January 4, 2016 to January 29, 2016, and consists of the
PMNs and TMEs both pending and/or expired, and the NOCs to manufacture
a new chemical that the Agency has received under TSCA section 5 during
this time period.

III. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    Under TSCA, 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., EPA classifies a chemical
substance as either an ``existing'' chemical or a ``new'' chemical. Any
chemical substance that is not on EPA's TSCA Inventory is classified as
a ``new chemical,'' while those that are on the TSCA Inventory are
classified as an ``existing chemical.'' For more information about the
TSCA Inventory go to: http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/newchems/pubs/inventory.htm.
    Anyone who plans to manufacture or import a new chemical substance
for a non-exempt commercial purpose is required by TSCA section 5 to
provide EPA with a PMN, before initiating the activity. Section 5(h)(1)
of TSCA authorizes EPA to allow persons, upon application, to
manufacture (includes import) or process a new chemical substance, or a
chemical substance subject to a significant new use rule (SNUR) issued
under TSCA section 5(a), for ``test marketing'' purposes, which is
referred to as a test marketing exemption, or TME. For more information
about the requirements applicable to a new chemical go to: http://www.epa.gov/oppt/newchems.
    Under TSCA sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3), EPA is required to publish
in the Federal Register a notice of receipt of a PMN or an application
for a TME and to publish in the Federal Register periodic reports on
the status of new chemicals under review and the receipt of NOCs to
manufacture those chemicals.

[Docket No. NJ21-13-000]

Western Area Power Administration; Notice of Petition for
Declaratory Order

    Take notice that on September 17, 2021, pursuant to the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) Rules of Practice and
Procedure, 18 CFR 35.28(e) and 18 CFR 385.207, the Western Area Power
Administration (WAPA), submitted revisions to its non-jurisdictional
Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) and petitions the Commission for
a declaratory order finding that these modifications to WAPA's OATT
substantially conform to, or are superior to, the Commission's pro
forma OATT and that these WAPA modifications satisfy the requirements
for reciprocity status.
    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must
file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214). Protests will be
considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to
be taken but will not serve to make protestants parties to the
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of
intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. Such notices,
motions, or protests must be filed on or before the comment date. On or
before the comment date, it is not necessary to serve motions to
intervene or protests on persons other than the Petitioner.

protests

and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically may mail similar
pleadings to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street
