DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 13519–003] 

Lock+ Hydro Friends Fund XIX, LLC; 

Notice of Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

On April 2, 2013, Lock+ Hydro 

Friends Fund XIX, 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 a hydropower project to be 

located at the U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers’ (Corps) Claiborne Lock & 

Dam on the Alabama River near the 

town of Monroeville in Monroe County, 

Alabama. 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 concrete lined 

intake channel with a trash rack system; 

(2) a 166.5-foot-long, 165.2-foot-wide 

powerhouse containing two generating 

units with a total capacity of 22 

megawatts; (3) a 250-foot-long, 165-footwide tailrace; (4) a 13.8/115 kilo-Volt 

(kV) substation; and (5) a 5.5-mile-long, 

69kV transmission line. The proposed 

project would have an average annual 

generation of 145,850 megawatt-hours, 

and operate as directed by the Corps.

Supporting documents which explain in 

detail the information that the EPA will

docket for this ICR. The docket can be

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act (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 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

54890 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 173 / Friday, September 6, 2013 / Notices 

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: In the course of 

administering environmental protection 

statutes, EPA collects data from 

‘‘businesses’’ in many sectors of the U.S. 

economy. In many cases, ‘‘businesses’’ 

mark the data it submits to EPA as 

confidential business information (CBI). 

In addition, businesses submit 

information to EPA without the Agency 

requesting the information. EPA 

established the procedures described in 

40 CFR Part 2, subparts A and B, to 

protect the confidentiality of 

information as well as the rights of the 

public to obtain access to information 

under the Freedom of Information Act 

(FOIA). In accordance with these 

regulations, when EPA finds it 

necessary to make a final confidentiality 

determination (e.g., in response to a 

FOIA request or in the course of 

rulemaking or litigation, a 

resubstantiation of a prior claim, or an 

advance confidentiality determination), 

it shall notify the affected business and 

provide an opportunity to submit a 

substantiation of confidentiality claims. 

This ICR relates to information EPA 

needs to collect to assist in determining 

whether previously submitted 

information is entitled to confidential 

treatment. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action are 

businesses and other for-profit 

companies. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Required to obtain or retain a benefit, 5 

USC Section 522 Freedom of 

Information Act. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

1,320. 

Frequency of response: 1 per year. 

Total estimated burden: 1,992 hours. 

Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $88,825.25 

includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: As part of the 

ICR renewal process, EPA is obtaining 

usage for the past 12 months of each of 

the letters covered by this ICR to obtain 

up-to-date estimates. EPA anticipates 

that both usage and response rates will 

decrease.
