    Abstract: In 2016, EPA issued regulations establishing a process
for federally recognized tribes to obtain treatment in a similar manner
as states (TAS) for purposes of administrating the water quality
restoration provisions of Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 303(d),
including establishing lists of impaired waters on their reservations
and developing total maximum daily loads (TMDLs). The CWA does not
require tribes to administer the CWA Section 303(d) program. However,
tribes seeking to be authorized must apply for and be found eligible
for TAS through the procedures described in the regulations.
    Section 303(d) of the CWA requires states, territories, and
authorized tribes to identify and establish a priority ranking for
waters that do not meet EPA-approved or promulgated water quality
standards (WQS) following the implementation of technology-based
controls. For waters so identified, Section 303(d) requires states,
territories, and authorized tribes to establish TMDLs in accordance
with their priority ranking for those pollutants the Administrator
identified as suitable for TMDL calculation. A TMDL is the calculation
and allocation to point and nonpoint sources of the maximum amount of a
pollutant that a water body can receive and still meet applicable WQS,
with a margin of safety.
    Form numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Any federally recognized tribe with
a reservation.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary.
    Estimated number of respondents: Five.
    Frequency of response: Once for initial TAS status, thereafter
biennially for lists of impaired waters, and from time to time for
TMDLs.
    Total estimated burden: 34,757 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $2,309,452 (per year). This action does not
include annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in estimates: There is no change of hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by
OMB.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.

the feasibility of a hydropower project at the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers' (Corps) Kentucky River Lock and Dam No. 14, located on the
Kentucky River in Lee County, Kentucky. 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.
    Lock 14's Project No. 13213-002 would consist of: (1) A powerhouse
constructed in an abandoned lock, containing four generating units with
a total capacity of 2.64 megawatts (MW); and (2) a 1,000-foot-long,
12.47 kilo-volt (KV) transmission line. The project would have an
estimated average annual generation of 11.0 gigawatt-hours (GWh), and
operate run-of-river utilizing surplus water from the Kentucky River
Lock and Dam No. 14, as directed by the Corps.

of 4.0 MW; (2) a 120-foot-long, 60-foot-wide tailrace; (3) a 4.16/69 KV
substation; and (4) a 0.6-mile-long, 69 kV transmission line. The
proposed project would have an average annual generation of 16.0 GWh,
and operate run-of-river utilizing surplus water from the Kentucky
River Lock and Dam No. 14, as directed by the Corps.
