You can obtain a DUNS number from 

Dun and Bradstreet at: http://

fedgov.dnb.com/webform. A DUNS 

number can be created within one to 

two business days. Entities must have 

an active DUNS registration throughout 

the grant performance period in SAM. 

Information about SAM is available 

at: www.SAM.gov. For further 

information on obtaining and registering 

your DUNS number and TIN in SAM or 

updating your existing SAM account, 

please refer to SAM’s Non-Federal User 

Guide: https://www.sam.gov/SAM/ 

transcript/SAM_Non_Federal_User_

Guide.pdf. 

The SAM registration process can take 

approximately seven business days, but 

may take upwards of several weeks, 

depending on the completeness and 

accuracy of the data you enter into the 

SAM database. Thus, if you think you 

might want to apply for Federal 

financial assistance under a program 

administered by the Department, please 

allow sufficient time to register with 

SAM. 

If you are currently registered with 

SAM, you may need to update your 

DUNS registration. Please make certain 

that the TIN associated with your DUNS 

number is correct. Also note that you 

will need to update your DUNS 

registration if it has expired or will 

expire prior to when you expect to 

receive a SRSA award. A DUNS number 

will expire every 12 months after it has 

been updated. 

You can check your DUNS 

registration status by using the SAM 

Status Tracker at: https://sam.gov/SAM/ 

pages/public/samStatusTracker.jsf. 

Updating your DUNS may take three or 

more business days. 

If you are a corporate entity, agency 

(including an LEA), institution, or 

organization, you can find your taxpayer 

name and TIN in tax documents from 

the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) (such 

as a 1099 or W–2 form) or obtain one 

from the IRS.

The Council on Environmental

agencies use to implement NEPA (see 

Update to the Regulations Implementing 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
8194 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 22 / Thursday, February 4, 2021 / Notices 

the Procedural Provisions of the 

National Environmental Policy Act, 85 

FR 43304). The Final Rule became 

effective on and applies to any NEPA 

process begun after September 14, 2020. 

An agency may also apply the 

regulations to ongoing activities and 

environmental documents begun before 

September 14, 2020, which includes the 

proposed Mongaup Falls Project. 

Commission staff intends to conduct its 

NEPA review in accordance with CEQ’s 

new regulations. 

l. The Mongaup Falls Project includes 

the Mongaup Falls Development and the 

Black Brook Development. The Black 

Brook Development has been 

permanently out of service since 1984, 

when portions of the penstock, stoplogs, 

and flashboards were removed. 

The Mongaup Fall Development 

consists of: (1) A reservoir with a gross 

storage capacity of 1,782 acre-feet and a 

surface area of 133 acres; (2) a 155-footlong by 40-foot-high, ungated, concrete 

gravity spillway with 4-foot, 10-inchhigh flashboards; (3) an 83-foot-long, by 

25-foot, 4-inch-high earth dam section 

with a concrete core wall along the right 

abutment; (4) a 125-foot-long, 127-foothigh concrete retaining wall along the 

left abutment; (5) a 250-foot-long by 4.5- 

foot-high earthen closure dike; (6) an 11- 

foot-high, 22-foot-square intake and 

gatehouse; (7) a 14-foot-wide by 32-foothigh inclined trashracks with 1.7-inch 

bar clear spacing that covers the intake; 

(8) a 6,650-foot-long bypassed reach; (9) 

a 2,650-foot-long, 8-foot-diameter woodstave penstock; (10) a 26-foot-diameter, 

106-foot-high steel surge tank; (11) a 9- 

foot-diameter steel manifold branching 

into four 5-foot-diameter steel 

penstocks; (12) a 90-foot-long by 25-foot, 

2-inch-wide by 33-foot-high reinforced 

concrete powerhouse containing four 1- 

megawatt vertical-axis turbines; and (13) 

a 100-foot-long, 2.3-kilovolt 

underground transmission line. The 

project generates an average of 10,860 

megawatt-hours annually. Eagle Creek 

proposes to continue to operate the 

project in a peaking mode. 

The Black Brook Development 

consists of a 70-foot-long dam with a 34- 

foot-long concrete spillway section and 

10-foot-long stoplog section. The stoplog 

section consists of a 2-foot-wide 

concrete pier that divides the 8-footlong stoplog section from the spillway. 

The concrete spillway is approximately 

10-foot-high from the base to the crest 

and is keyed into bedrock with a 3-foot 

by 3-foot keyway. Prior to removal of 

the penstock, pond control was 

accomplished with an 8-foot-wide 

stoplog section and 34-foot-wide 

flashboard section, each erected to a 

height of 5 feet above the dam crest. The 

failure of the penstock in 1984, resulted 

in the removal of the 8-foot-wide, 5-foothigh stoplog section on the right side of 

the dam and the 5-foot-high flashboards. 

Currently, the Black Brook Development 

is a run-of-river, uncontrolled spillway 

with a crest elevation of 943 feet 

National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 

1929 (NGVD29) and a dam/spillway toe 

elevation of approximately 930–933 feet 

NGVD29 (including the 3-foot by 3-foot 

keyway). Eagle Creek proposes to 

decommission the Black Brook 

Development in place and remove it 

from the project boundary.
