64508 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 204 / Monday, October 22, 2012 / Notices 

1Supersedes Rate Schedule RDW–08 

037.00 (December 6, 2001), and Section 5 of 

the Flood Control Act of 1944, the 

Administrator has determined that the 

proposed System rates are consistent with 

applicable law and the lowest possible rates 

consistent with sound business principles. 

ENVIRONMENT 

The environmental impact of the rate 

increase proposal was evaluated in 

consideration of DOE’s guidelines for 

implementing the procedural provisions of 

the National Environmental Policy Act and 

was determined to fall within the class of 

actions that are categorically excluded from 

the requirements of preparing either an 

Environmental Impact Statement or an 

Environmental Assessment. 

ORDER 

In view of the foregoing and pursuant to 

the authority delegated to me by the 

Secretary of Energy, I hereby confirm, 

approve and place in effect on an interim 

basis, effective October 1, 2012 through 

September 30, 2016, the annual Robert 

Douglas Willis Hydropower rate of 

$1,072,332 for the sale of power and energy 

from the Robert Douglas Willis project to the 

Sam Rayburn Municipal Power Agency, 

under Contract No. DE–PM75–85SW00117, 

as amended. This rate shall remain in effect 

on an interim basis through September 30, 

2016, or until the FERC confirms and 

approves the rate on a final basis. 

Dated: October 15, 2012.

1. Wholesale Rates, Terms, and Conditions 

for Hydro Power and Energy 

1.1 These rates shall be applicable 

regardless of the quantity of Hydro Power 

and Energy available or delivered to SRMPA; 

provided, however, that if an Uncontrollable 

Force prevents utilization of both of the 

project’s power generating units for an entire 

billing period, and if during such billing 

period water releases were being made which 

otherwise would have been used to generate 

Hydro Power and Energy, then Southwestern 

shall, upon request by SRMPA, suspend 

billing for subsequent billing periods, until 

such time as at least one of the project’s 

generating units is again available. 

1.2 The term ‘‘Uncontrollable Force,’’ as 

used herein, shall mean any force which is 

not within the control of the party affected, 

including, but not limited to, failure of water 

supply, failure of facilities, flood, earthquake, 

storm, lightning, fire, epidemic, riot, civil 

disturbance, labor disturbance, sabotage, war, 

acts of war, terrorist acts, or restraint by court

Title: NESHAP for Mercury (40 CFR 

Part 61, Subpart E) (Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

0113.11, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0097. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on November 30, 2012. Under 

OMB regulations, the Agency may 

continue to either conduct or sponsor 

the collection of information while this 

submission is pending at OMB. 

Abstract: The affected entities are 

subject to the General Provisions of the 

NESHAP at 40 CFR part 61, subpart A, 

and any changes, or additions to the 

Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 61, 

subpart E. 

Owners or operators of the affected 

facilities must submit a one-time-only 

report of any physical or operational 

changes, initial performance tests, and 

periodic reports and results. Owners or 

operators are also required to maintain 

records of the occurrence and duration 

of any startup, shutdown, or 

malfunction in the operation of an 

affected facility, or any period during 

which the monitoring system is 

inoperative. Reports are also required 

semiannually. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 160 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. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Owners or operators of stationary 

sources which process mercury ore to 

recover mercury 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

107. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

semiannually and annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

20,490. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$1,984,018, which includes $1,984,018 

in labor costs, no capital/startup costs 

and no operating and maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the burden hours in this ICR 

compared to the previous ICR. This is 

due to two considerations: (1) The 

regulations have not changed over the 

past three years and are not anticipated 

to change over the next three years; and 

(2) the growth rate for the industry is 

very low, negative or non-existent, so 

there is no significant change in the 

overall burden. 

There is an increase in costs for both 

the respondents and the Agency from 

the most recently approved ICR. The 

increase in burden cost is due to an 

increase in labor rates. This ICR uses 

updated labor rates from the Bureau of 

Labor Statistics to calculate burden 

costs.
