11 MISO Answer in Docket No. ER12–678–000 at
9.

12 Docket No. ER12–679–000 Filing, Tab D, Affidavit of David B. Patton at ¶ 10. result in cost shifts.’’ 11 On what basis does MISO make that claim? Has MISO performed any studies to draw that conclusion? If so, please explain the results of the study.

15. Could MISO include voltage management as a constraint in an SCED/ SCUC model that would allow for cost allocation in the same way that the constraint management charge is derived?

16. Please explain any objections MISO may have with regard to allowing Local Balancing Authority (LBA) Area participation in studies that result in costs being allocated to those LBAs.

17. Referencing the transmittal letter in Docket No. ER12–678–000 at 11, indicate objective criteria MISO would use that would form the basis for a broader allocation beyond the LBA Area.

18. Referencing the discussion in the transmittal letter in Docket No. ER12– 678–000 at 15 of ‘‘Commercially Significant’’ voltage and local reliability issues, explain all the criteria that MISO will use to determine if a VLR is commercially significant. Session 3: Mitigation (Docket No. ER12– 679–000) (2 p.m.–4 p.m.)

19. The IMM’s testimony describes voltage support commitments and reasons for those commitments, stating that ‘‘local reliability and voltage support needs generally pertain to a very limited geographic area where the resources available to satisfy the reliability needs are owned by a very small number of suppliers, often only a single supplier.’’ 12 How will the IMM determine which units are VLR commitments? How will the IMM monitor for units committed for VLR and for economics (and which mitigation thresholds will apply)?

20. To what extent do MISO and/or the IMM expect VLR mitigation to stem increasing Revenue Sufficiency Guarantee costs?

21. Explain the interplay between VLR mitigation and existing mitigation measures within Broad Constrained Areas (BCAs) and Narrow Constrained Areas (NCAs). Could a resource be mitigated under both sets of mitigation thresholds? If so, under what circumstances?

22. Please describe how MISO will determine reference levels for units committed for VLR. Given the specific market power concerns associated with VLRs, is it appropriate to use historical offer information to determine their initial reference levels? Conference Conclusion: Next Steps (4 p.m.–4:30 p.m.)

Staff will conclude the conference and outline next steps.

Dated: April 20, 2012. Nathaniel J. Davis, Sr., Deputy Secretary.

What information is the EPA particularly interested in?

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, the EPA specifically solicits 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 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. In particular, the EPA is requesting comments from very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of specific additional efforts that the EPA could make to reduce the paperwork burden for very small businesses affected by this collection. What should I consider when I prepare my comments for the EPA?

You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:

1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific examples.

2. Describe any assumptions that you used.

3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used that support your views.

4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you arrived at the estimate that you provide.

5. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity.

6. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified under DATES.

7. To ensure proper receipt by the EPA, be sure to identify the docket ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and Federal Register citation. What information collection activity or ICR does this apply to?

Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are state, local and tribal air quality agencies, regional planning organizations and facilities potentially regulated under the regional haze rule.

Title: Regional Haze Regulations; EPA ICR No. 1813.08, OMB Control No.
2060–0412.

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1813.08, OMB Control No. 2060–0412.

ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on October 31,


### 24954 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 81 / Thursday, April 26, 2012 / Notices

2012. 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 the EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and 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: This ICR is for activities related to the implementation of the EPA’s regional haze regulations, for the time period between October 31, 2012, and October 30, 2015, and renews the previous ICR. The regional haze rule codified at 40 CFR parts 308 and 309, as authorized by sections 169A and 169B of the Clean Air Act (CAA), requires states to develop implementation plans to protect visibility in 156 federally-protected Class I areas. Tribes may choose to develop implementation plans. For this time period, states will be revising their implementation plans to comply with the regulations. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information request unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for the EPA’s regulations in 40 CFR 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 320 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.

The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the agency’s estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: Estimated total number of potential respondents: 34.

Frequency of response: Every 5 years. Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 1.

Estimated total annual burden hours: 4,080 hours.

Estimated total annual costs: $198,084. This includes an estimated burden cost of $198,084 and an estimated cost of $0 for capital investment or maintenance and operational costs.
Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

There are revisions to the cost estimates since the last renewal of this ICR (August 26, 2009; 74 FR 43118). The last collection request anticipated the program progressing from the planning stages to implementation. The last renewal estimate was 31,841 hours and $2,563,000. The current estimate represents a decrease in hours and in the costs. The change in burden is a program adjustment, reflecting changes in labor rates, changes in the activities conducted due to the normal progression of the program, and the fact that the aggregate initial regional haze SIPs and best available retrofit technology (BART) determinations will have been acted upon by the EPA by November 2012 and the states will be shifting their focus to development of interim progress reports required by the regional haze rule.
What is the next step in the process for this ICR?

The 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 pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, the EPA will issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the technical person listed under **FOR**
