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?

the contents of the docket, and to access 

those documents in the public docket 

that are available electronically. Once in 

the system, select ‘‘search,’’ then key in 

the docket ID number identified in this 

document. 

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, 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
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
