    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting
comments and information to enable it to: (i) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of
the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. EPA
will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate.
The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and
approval. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice
to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: With this ICR renewal, EPA is seeking permission to
continue recordkeeping and reporting requirements for manufacturers to
submit information to EPA to ensure compliance with the provisions of
EPA's Clean Alternative Fuel Vehicle and Engine Conversions Final Rule
which was issued on April 8, 2011 (76 FR 19830). This includes a
variety of requirements for alternative fuel vehicle/engine converters
who seek an exemption from the anti-tampering prohibition in section
203(a)(3) of the Clean Air Act. Under Title II of the Clean Air Act (42
U.S.C. 7521 et seq.)
    Form Numbers: EPA Form Number 5800-257 and EPA Form Number 5800-
258.
    Respondents/affected entities: This action will affect companies
and persons that manufacture, assemble, sell, import, or install
alternative fuel conversions for light-duty vehicles, light-duty
trucks, medium-duty passenger vehicles.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a
benefit.
    Estimated number of respondents: 25 (total).
    Frequency of response: On occasion as needed to obtain
certification.
    Total estimated burden: 39,193 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $2,689,777 (per year), includes $363,059
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in estimates: There is an increase of 20,657 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This increase is due primarily to the increase in the
number of

manufacturers and vehicle and engine test groups that are participating
in the program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Information About the Document

    Section 108(a) of the Clean Air Act directs the Administrator to
identify certain pollutants which, among other things, ``cause or
contribute to air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to
endanger public health or welfare'' and to issue air quality criteria
for them. These air quality criteria are to ``accurately reflect the
latest scientific knowledge useful in indicating the kind and extent of
all identifiable effects on public health or welfare which may be
expected from the presence of [a] pollutant in the ambient air * * *.''
Under section 109 of the Act, EPA is then to establish national ambient
air quality standards (NAAQS) for each pollutant for which EPA has
issued criteria. Section 109(d) of the Act subsequently requires
periodic review and, if appropriate, revision of existing air quality
criteria to reflect advances in scientific knowledge on the effects of
the pollutant on public health or welfare. EPA is also to revise the
NAAQS, if appropriate, based on the revised air quality criteria.
    Particulate matter (PM) is one of six principal (or ``criteria'')
pollutants for which EPA has established NAAQS. Periodically, EPA
reviews the scientific basis for these standards by preparing an
Integrated Science Assessment (ISA) (formerly called an Air Quality
Criteria Document). The ISA and supplementary annexes, in conjunction
with additional technical and policy assessments, provide the
scientific basis for EPA decisions on the adequacy of the current NAAQS
and the appropriateness of possible alternative standards. The Clean
Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC), an independent science
advisory committee whose existence and whose review and advisory
functions are mandated by Section 109(d)(2) of the Act, is charged
(among other things) with independent scientific review of EPA's air
quality criteria.
    On June 28, 2007 (72 FR 35462), EPA formally initiated its current
review of the air quality criteria for PM, requesting the submission of
recent scientific information on specified topics. A draft of EPA's
''Integrated Review Plan for the National Ambient Air Quality Standard
for Particulate Matter'' (EPA/452/P-08-006) was made available in
October 2007 for public comment and was discussed by the CASAC PM
Review Panel via a publicly accessible teleconference consultation on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a major public health concern worldwide
and its accurate diagnosis and staging is critical for the optimal
management of patients at risk for or afflicted with this devastating
disorder. The accuracy of clinical diagnosis of AD by dementia experts
is modest when compared to postmortem diagnosis. Amyloid burden is one
of the pathological hallmarks of the disease, and in patients
presenting with cognitive and memory disturbances, quantitative imaging
of brain amyloid offers the potential to enhance the assessment and
management of patients with suspected or confirmed AD. This workshop
aims to evaluate the role of quantitative PET measures of amyloid
deposition in the brain in clinical trials and as well as in clinical
use in patients with suspected or confirmed AD.

II. Topics for Discussion at the Public Workshop

    The workshop will provide an overview of clinical and
investigational uses of brain amyloid PET imaging, the regulatory
history of marketed imaging drug products and devices for amyloid
quantitation, clinical pharmacology of tracers, quantitation
methodology, metrics and analytical validity, and use of quantitative
amyloid in clinical trials with perspectives from industry, trade and
professional organizations, academic investigators, and patient
advocacy group.

III. Participating in the Public Workshop

    Registration: To register for the public workshop, persons
interested in attending this public workshop virtually or in-person
must register online by November 16, 2022, 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
Please provide complete contact information for each attendee,
including name, title, affiliation, address, email, and telephone. No
same-day registration will be available.
    Registration is free and in-person participation is limited due to
space availability constraints; therefore, FDA may limit the number of

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP11-515-000]

Millennium Pipeline Company, LLC; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Minisink Compressor Project,
Request for Comments on Environmental Issues, and Notice of Public
Scoping Meeting

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of the Minisink Compressor Project
involving construction and operation of facilities by Millennium
Pipeline Company, LLC (Millennium) in Minisink, New York. This EA will
be used by the Commission in its decision-making process to determine
whether the project is in the public convenience and necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the
Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested
agencies on the project. Your input will help the Commission staff
determine what issues need to be evaluated in the EA. Please note that
the scoping period will close on September 16, 2011.
    Comments may be submitted in written form or verbally. Further
details on how to submit written comments are provided in the Public
Participation section of this notice. In lieu of or in addition to
sending written comments, we invite you to attend the public scoping
meeting scheduled as follows: FERC Public Scoping Meeting, Minisink
Compressor Project, September 6, 2011, 7 p.m., Minisink Town Hall, 20
Roy Smith Dr., Westtown, NY 10998.
    The Commission staff will also attend Millennium's public open
house on August 23, 2011, in Westtown, New York. Notice of this public
open house was sent to all affected landowners by Millennium on August
11, 2011.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for this project. State and local government
representatives are asked to notify their constituents of this proposed
project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
    A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural
Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?'' was attached to the
project notice Millennium provided to landowners. This fact sheet
addresses a number of typically-asked questions, including the use of
eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission's proceedings.
It is also available for viewing on the FERC Web site (http://www.ferc.gov).

Summary of the Proposed Project

    Millennium proposes to construct and operate one new compressor
station in Minisink, New York. The Minisink Compressor Project would
allow Millennium to increase natural gas deliveries to its existing
interconnection with Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC at Ramapo, New
York, to approximately 675,000 dekatherms per day.
    The project would consist of the following facilities:
     Two 6,130-horsepower natural gas-fired compressor units at
the new Minisink Compressor Station;
     Approximately 1,090 feet of 36-inch-diameter pipeline for
suction and discharge to the existing Millennium mainline; and
     Associated ancillary facilities.

    The general location of the project facilities is shown in appendix
1.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The appendices referenced in this notice are not being
printed in the Federal Register. Copies of appendices were sent to
all those receiving this notice in the mail and are available at
http://www.ferc.gov using the link called ``eLibrary'' or from the
Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426, or call<PHONE_NUMBER>. For instructions on
connecting to eLibrary, refer to the last page of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Land Requirements for Construction

    Construction of the proposed facilities would take place on a 10.5-
acre plot entirely within a 74.3-acre parcel of land that is owned by
Millennium. Following construction, 3.3 acres would be maintained
permanently for operation of the Minisink Compressor Station.

The EA Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the
Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could
result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us
\2\ to discover and address concerns the public may have about
proposals. This process is referred to as ``scoping.'' The main goal of
the scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important
environmental issues. By this notice, the Commission requests public
comments on the scope of the issues to address in the EA. All comments
received will be considered during the preparation of the EA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ ``We,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the Commission's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the EA we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of
the construction and operation of the proposed project under these
general headings:
     Geology and soils;
     Land use;
     Water resources and wetlands;
     Cultural resources;
     Vegetation and wildlife;
     Air quality and noise;
     Endangered and threatened species; and
     Public safety.

    We will also evaluate reasonable alternatives to the proposed
project, and make recommendations on how to lessen or avoid impacts on
the various resource areas.
    Our independent analysis of the issues will be presented in the EA.
The EA will be placed in the public record and, depending on the
comments received during the scoping process, may be published and
distributed to the public. A comment period will be allotted if the EA
is published for review. We will consider all comments on the EA before
we make our recommendations to the Commission. To ensure your comments
are considered, please carefully follow the instructions in the Public
Participation section below.
    With this notice, we are asking agencies with jurisdiction and/or
special expertise with respect to environmental issues to formally
cooperate with us in the preparation of the EA. These agencies may
choose to participate once they have evaluated the proposal relative to
their responsibilities. Agencies that would like to request cooperating
agency status should follow the instructions for filing comments
provided under the Public Participation section of this notice.

Public Participation

    You can make a difference by providing us with your specific
comments or concerns about the project. Your comments should focus on
the potential environmental effects, reasonable alternatives, and
measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts. The more specific
your comments, the more useful they will be. To ensure that your
comments are timely and properly recorded, please send your comments so
that they will be received in Washington, DC on or before September 16,
2011.
    For your convenience, there are three methods which you can use to
submit your comments to the Commission. In all instances please
reference the project

docket number (CP11-515-000) with your submission. The Commission

government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American Tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. This list also
includes all affected landowners (as defined in the Commission's
regulations) who own property or homes within a certain distance of the
proposed compressor station site and anyone who submits comments on the
project. We will update the environmental mailing list as the analysis
proceeds to ensure that we send the information related to this
environmental review to all individuals, organizations, and government
entities interested in and/or potentially affected by the proposed
project.
    If the EA is published for distribution, copies will be sent to the
environmental mailing list for public review and comment. If you would
prefer to receive a paper copy of the document instead of the CD
version or would like to remove your name from the mailing list, please
return the attached Information Request (appendix 2).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a proposed extension of the ICR,
which is currently approved through February 28, 2023. 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.
    Public comments were previously requested via the Federal Register
on June 13, 2022 during a 60-day comment period (87 FR 35763). This
notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. Supporting
documents, which explain in detail the information that the EPA will be
collecting, are available in the public docket for this ICR. The docket
can be viewed online at www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA
Docket Center, WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW,
Washington, DC. The telephone number for the Docket Center is 202-566-
1744. For additional information about EPA's public docket, visit
http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: EPA tips and complaints web form is intended to provide
an easy and convenient means by which members of the public can supply
information to EPA regarding suspected violations of environmental law.
The decision to provide a tip or complaint is entirely voluntary and
use of the webform when supplying a tip or complaint is also entirely
voluntary. Tippers need not supply contact information or other
personal identifiers. Those who do supply such information, however,
should know that this information may be shared by EPA with appropriate
administrative, law enforcement, and judicial entities engaged in
investigating or adjudicating the tip or complaint.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Members of the general public as
well as employees of any company subject to federal environmental
regulation. There is no specific industry or group of industries about
which EPA expects tips or complaints.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary.
    Estimated number of respondents: 1,585 per month (total).
    Frequency of response: Generally, a one-time response.
    Total estimated burden: 9,510 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $487,673 (per year), includes no annualized
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 924 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the
ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase reflects the fact that
tips and complaints are being filed at a higher rate than originally
anticipated, a strong indication of the success of this program. Some
questions have been removed and a single question has been added, with
no expected net change in estimated burden per respondent.
