impact biological resources (including 

threatened and endangered species) 

within the region or the Project site, 

DOE acknowledges that the new 

transmission line should be designed to 

minimize impacts to raptors and 

migratory birds. At this time it is 

uncertain whether Abengoa or Pioneer 

Electric Cooperative, Inc. (Pioneer 

Electric) will be responsible for the 

design and construction of the new 

transmission line, or if an existing 

transmission line will be upgraded by 

Pioneer Electric to serve the biorefinery. 

If Abengoa is responsible for the design 

and construction of the transmission 

line, DOE will require that the line be 

designed and constructed to minimize 

the risk of electrocution to raptors and 

migratory birds. If Pioneer Electric is 

responsible for the design and 

construction of the new transmission 

line or the upgrade of the existing line, 

DOE will have no authority to impose 

mitigation measures. However, a 

transmission line constructed or 

upgraded by Pioneer Electric would be 

subject to additional NEPA review by 

the U.S. Department of Agriculture 

Rural Utilities Service (RUS). Further, 

Pioneer Electric would follow RUS 

standards for design and construction of 

transmission lines, which include 

consideration of raptors and migratory 

birds. 

Visual Resources Mitigation. The 

buffer area will only be used for 

agricultural activities, thereby 

maintaining the current visual status of 

this area. To minimize visual impacts 

from nighttime light, the biorefinery 

will have the minimum amount of 

downward-facing or directional lighting 

necessary for safe operation. 

Wastes and Hazardous Materials 

Mitigation. Abengoa will develop and 

implement a waste management plan for 

construction and operation of the 

biorefinery. Abengoa will also develop 

and implement a contingency plan for 

alternative beneficial uses of the solid 

biomass boiler fly ash in the event that 

the waste management plan is not 

effective. 

Transportation Mitigation. To the 

extent practicable, Abengoa will stagger 

workforce schedules to minimize traffic 

delays and congestion. Abengoa will 

develop safety-based criteria to be used, 

in part, to select carriers, including 

elements of the Federal Motor Carrier 

Safety Administration regulations, as 

well as provisions for drivers to be paid 

hourly and receive bonuses for accidentfree driving, mandatory safety training, 

and avoidance of teen-age drivers and 

drivers having less than 5-years 

experience. Abengoa will require 

carriers and drivers to meet the Federal 

Motor Carrier Safety Administration 

regulations. In addition, to the extent 

practicable, Abengoa will maximize the 

use of rail shipments to and from the 

Project site and will ensure the onsite 

rail system does not block railroad 

crossings near the site.

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on January 31, 2011. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is

regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after 

appearing in the Federal Register when 

approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, 

are displayed either by publication in 

the Federal Register or by other 

appropriate means, such as on the 

related collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. The display of OMB control 

numbers in certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: Federal law (CERCLA 

section 103(a) and CWA section 311) 

requires the person in charge of a 

facility or vessel to immediately notify 

the Federal government of a release of 

a reportable quantity or more of a 

hazardous substance into the 

environment and of an oil spill into U.S. 

navigable waters if the spill causes a 

sheen or violates applicable water 

quality standards. The reporting of 

hazardous substance releases and oil 

spills allows the Federal government to 

determine whether a response action is 

required to protect public health and the 

environment. Further, release 

information helps the Federal 

government evaluate the need for 

additional regulations and informs 

emergency response planners. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 4 hours per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose or provide information to or 

for a Federal agency. This includes the 

time needed to review instructions; 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purposes 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

changed; train personnel to be able to 

respond to a collection of information; 

search data sources; complete and 

review the collection of information; 

and transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: Any 

facility that uses and could potentially 

release oil into the environment. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

24,041. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

98,568. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$3,121,796, includes $0 annualized 

capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 7,462 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. The decrease is due to a 

projected continued decline in the 

number of reportable releases. 

Dated: January 6, 2011.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
