and other requirements in the 

Applicable Regulations section of this 

notice. 

We reference the regulations outlining 

the terms and conditions of an award in 

the Applicable Regulations section of 

this notice and include these and other 

specific conditions in the GAN. The 

GAN also incorporates your approved 

application as part of your binding 

commitments under the grant. 

3. Reporting: (a) If you apply for a 

grant under this competition, you must 

ensure that you have in place the 

necessary processes and systems to

This consideration includes the review 

of a grantee’s progress in meeting the 

targets and projected outcomes in its 

approved application, and whether the 

grantee has expended funds in a manner 

that is consistent with its approved 

application and budget. In making a 

continuation grant, the Secretary also

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection request relates to: 

(1) OMB No. 1910–5136; (2) Information 

Collection Request Title: Western Area 

Power Administration Applicant Profile 

Data; (3) Type of Review: Renewal; 

(4) Purpose: The proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of Western’s functions. 

Western markets a limited amount of 

Federal power. Western has discretion 

to determine who will receive an 

allocation of Federal power. Due to the 

high demand for Western’s power and 

limited amount of available power 

under established marketing plans, 

Western needs to be able to collect 

information to evaluate who will receive 

an allocation of Federal power. As a 

result, the information Western collects 

is necessary and useful; (5) Annual 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 33.3; 

(6) Annual Estimated Number of Total 

Responses: 33.3; (7) Annual Estimated 

Number of Burden Hours: 266.7; 

(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: 0. 

I. Statutory Authority 

Reclamation Laws are a series of laws 

arising from the Desert Land Act of 1872 

and include but are not limited to: The 

Desert Land Act of 1872, Reclamation 

Act of 1902, Reclamation Project Act of 

1939, and the Acts authorizing each 

individual project such as the Central 

Valley Project Authorizing Act of 1937.1

The Reclamation Act of 1902 

established the Federal reclamation 

program.2 The basic principle of the 

Reclamation Act of 1902 was that the 

United States, through the Secretary of 

the Interior, would build and operate 

irrigation works from the proceeds of 

public land sales in the sixteen arid 

Western states (a seventeenth was later 

added). The Reclamation Project Act of 

1939 expanded the purposes of the 

reclamation program and specified 

certain terms for contracts that the 

Secretary of the Interior enters into to 

furnish water and power.3 Congress 

enacted the Reclamation Laws for 

purposes that include enhancing 

navigation, protection from floods, 

reclaiming the arid lands in the Western 

United States, and for fish and wildlife.4

Congress intended the production of 

power would be a supplemental feature 

of the multi-purpose water projects 

authorized under the Reclamation 

Laws.5 No contract entered into by the 

United States for power may impair the 

efficiency of the project for irrigation 

purposes.6 Section 5 of the Flood 

Control Act of 1944 is read in pari 

materia with Reclamation Laws.7 In 

1977 the Department of Energy 

Organization Act transferred the power 

marketing functions of the Department 

of the Interior to Western.8 Pursuant to 

this authority, Western markets Federal 

hydropower. As part of Western’s 

marketing authority, Western needs to 

obtain information from interested 

entities who desire an allocation of 

Federal power. The Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 requires Western 

to obtain a clearance from OMB before 

collecting this information.9

II. This Process Determines the Format 

of the APD and Is Not a Call for 

Applications 

This public process and the 

associated Federal Register Notice only 

determine the information that Western 

will collect from an entity desiring to 

apply for a Federal power allocation. It 

is a legal requirement with which 

Western must comply before Western 

can request information from potential 

preference customers. This public 

process is not the process whereby 

interested parties request an allocation 

of Federal power. The actual allocation 

of power is outside the scope of this 

proceeding. Please do not submit a 

request for Federal power in this 

process. At a later time, through a 

separate process, Western will issue a 

call for applications, as part of its 

project-specific marketing plans. When 

Western issues a call for applications, 

the information Western proposes to 

collect is voluntary. Western will use 

the information collected, in 

conjunction with its project-specific 

marketing plans, to determine an 

entity’s eligibility and ultimately who 

will receive an allocation of Federal 

power. 

III. Purpose of Proposed Collection 

Western proposes to continue to 

collect the information in its existing 

APD. Western’s current OMB control 

number 1910–5136 for its APD will 

expire on September 30, 2011. There 

will be no changes in the content, 

format, and directions. There are some 

ministerial errors that have been 

corrected on the APD; however, such 

corrections have no impact on the 

content, format, directions or paperwork 

burden. The content, format, directions 

and paperwork burden for the existing 

APD are discussed in more detail in that 

Federal Register Notice.10 This 

information also is included as part of 

the administrative record for this 

proceeding. In that process, Western 

identified what it believes is the 

minimum amount of collective 

information, as well as the need for 

collecting this information and the 

burden it creates. Western stated due to 

the variations that may be developed in 

each of Western’s Regions, each Region 

through its project-specific marketing 

plans may determine that it does not 

need all of the information. Each Region 

will identify the subset of the data that 

it will require in its application through 

its call for applications. The APD, as 

well as administrative record for the 

proposal justifying its continued use, is 

available for inspection and copying at 

Western’s Corporate Service Office and 

the ministerial changes as well as the 

invitation for comments may be viewed 

at http://www.wapa.gov/documents/

APDcomments.pdf. As part of this 

process, Western has updated the 

annual cost burdens. From 2008 to 

2011, Western has increased its estimate 

of the cost burden for preparing the APD 

from $100 to $104 per hour and for 

recordkeeping from $50 to $52 per hour. 

IV. Invitation for Comments 

Western invites public comment on 

its existing collection of information as 

set forth above. Comments are invited 

on: (1) Whether the proposed collection 

of information is necessary for the 

proper performance of the functions of 

the agency, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(2) 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; 

(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 66 / Wednesday, April 6, 2011 / Notices 19069 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated, electronic, 

mechanical or other collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. As required under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act, after 

evaluating comments, Western will 

make a final determination on this 

information collection extension and 

publish a second notice in the Federal 

Register.
