Tariff Services and Pricing 

The following session will cover issues 

related to the open access transmission 

tariffs. Panelists should address current 

practices, experiences, issues, near-term and 

longer-term solutions, and any impacts to 

others from potential solutions. Questions 

intended to be answered include: 

• Can the existing pro forma tariff’s 

transmission services (network and point-topoint), and the related ancillary services 

satisfy the needs of intermittent resources? 

What, if any, challenges and benefits do they 

present for intermittent resources? 

• To what extent can transmission 

capacity reassignment address the needs of 

wind generation with respect to firm service 

availability, price, and terms? 

• Can the terms and conditions of service 

of the pro forma tariff be modified to 

encourage the addition of intermittent 

resources to the grid, e.g., new services or 

changes to existing rates or services? 

• Will creation of new transmission 

services affect the uniformity and pricing of 

transmission services? Are there potential 

subsidization issues that arise from the 

creation of new transmission services? 

• What are the operational issues and 

impacts to the transmission grid and existing 

transmission services from the addition of 

wind resources, both within control areas 

and across multiple systems? 

• Are there experiences from the natural 

gas pipeline industry that can be related to 

the needs of intermittent resources, e.g.,

handling of imbalance charges?

Title: Facility Ground-water 

Monitoring Requirements, OMB Control 

Number 2050–0033, EPA ICR Number 

0959.12, expiration date January 31, 

2005. 

Abstract: This ICR examines the 

ground-water monitoring standards for 

permitted and interim status facilities at 

40 CFR parts 264 and 265, as specified. 

The ground-water monitoring 

requirements for regulated units follow 

a tiered approach whereby releases of 

hazardous contaminants are first 

detected (detection monitoring), then 

confirmed (compliance monitoring), and 

if necessary, are required to be cleaned 

up (corrective action). Each of these 

tiers requires collection and analysis of 

ground-water samples. Owners or 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 227 / Friday, November 26, 2004 / Notices 68899

operators that conduct ground-water 

monitoring are required to report 

information to the oversight agencies on 

releases of contaminants and to 

maintain records of ground-water 

monitoring data at their facilities. The 

goal of the ground-water monitoring 

program is to prevent and quickly detect 

releases of hazardous contaminants to 

groundwater, and to establish a program 

whereby any contamination is 

expeditiously cleaned up as necessary 

to protect human health and 

environment. Subtitle C of the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 

(RCRA) creates a comprehensive 

program for the safe management of 

hazardous waste. Section 3004 of RCRA 

requires owners and operators of 

facilities that treat, store, or dispose of 

hazardous waste to comply with 

standards established by EPA that are 

intended to protect the environment. 

Section 3005 provides for 

implementation of these standards 

under permits issued to owners and 

operators by EPA or authorized States. 

Section 3005 also allows owners and 

operators of facilities in existence when 

the regulations came into effect to 

comply with applicable notice 

requirements to operate until a permit is 

issued or denied. This statutory 

authorization to operate prior to permit 

determination is commonly known as 

‘‘interim status.’’ Owners and operators 

of interim facilities also must comply 

with standards set under Section 3004. 

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. The OMB control 

numbers for EPA’s regulations are listed 

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 118 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 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; 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:

Entities that operate surface 

impoundments, waste piles, land 

treatment units, and landfills which 

manage hazardous waste regulated 

under RCRA. 

Estimated Number of Respondents:

824. 

Frequency of Response: Semi annual 

monitoring; additional sampling and 

monitoring may be required if 

contaminants are detected. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

96,913. 

Estimated Total Annualized Capital, 

O&M Cost Burden: $16,737,560. 

Burden means the total time, effort, or 

financial resources expended to 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, 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.
