1Supersedes Rate Schedule RDW–14. 

amortization of the power investment 

consistent with the provisions of 

Department of Energy Order No. RA 

6120.2. In accordance with Delegation 

Order No. 00–037.00A (October 25, 

2013), and Section 5 of the Flood 

Control Act of 1944, the Administrator 

has determined that the proposed Willis 

power rate is consistent with applicable 

law and is the lowest possible rate to the 

customer consistent with sound 

business principles. 

ENVIRONMENT 

The environmental impact of the 

power rate increase proposal was 

evaluated in consideration of the 

Department of Energy’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 (10 CFR part 1021, App. B 

to subpart D, § B1.1 ‘‘Changing rates & 

prices’’). 

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 January 1, 2016, 

through September 30, 2019, the 

phased-in annual Willis power rate of 

$1,282,836 for the sale of power and 

energy from Willis 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, 2019, or until the FERC 

confirms and approves the rate on a 

final basis.

Applicable: 

To the power and energy purchased by 

Sam Rayburn Municipal Power Agency 

(SRMPA) from the Southwestern Power 

Administration (Southwestern) under the 

terms and conditions of the Power Sales 

Contract dated June 28, 1985, as amended, 

for the sale of all Hydro Power and Energy 

generated at the Robert Douglas Willis 

Hydropower Project (Robert D. Willis)

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Supporting documents which explain in 

detail the information that the EPA will 

be collecting are available in the public 

docket for this ICR. The docket can be 

viewed online at www.regulations.gov 

or in person at the EPA Docket Center, 

WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 

Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, 

DC. The telephone number for the 

Docket Center is 202–566–1744. For 

additional information about EPA’s 

public docket, visit: http://

www.epa.gov/dockets. 

Abstract: Owners and operators of 

affected facilities are required to comply 

with both reporting and record-keeping 

requirements for the general provisions 

(40 CFR part 61, subpart A), as well as 

for the requirements in 40 CFR part 61, 

subpart E. This includes submitting 

initial notification reports, performance 

tests and periodic reports and results, 

and maintaining 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. These reports are 

used by EPA to determine compliance 

with the standards. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Mercury ore processing facilities, 

mercury cell chlor-alkali plants, sludge 

incineration plants, and sludge drying 

plants. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 61, subpart E). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

107 (total). 

Frequency of response: Initially, 

occasionally, semiannually and 

annually. 

Total estimated burden: 20,600 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $2,070,000 (per 

year). There are no annualized capital/ 

startup and operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

small increase in the respondent burden 

due to an adjustment. In this ICR, we 

assume all existing sources will take 

some time each year to re-familiarize 

themselves with the regulatory 

requirements. This new assumption 

results in an increase in the labor hours 

and cost.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

You may be potentially affected by 

this action if you manufacture, process, 

or use the chemical substances 

contained in this rule. The following list 

of North American Industrial 

Classification System (NAICS) codes is 

not intended to be exhaustive, but rather 

provides a guide to help readers 

determine whether this document 

applies to them. Potentially affected 

entities may include: 

• Manufacturers, processors, or users 

of one or more subject chemical 

substances (NAICS codes 325 and 

324110), e.g., chemical manufacturing 

and petroleum refineries. 

B. What is the agency’s authority for 

taking this action? 

This action is issued under the 

authority in Section 5 of the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 

U.S.C. 2604. 

C. What action is the agency taking? 

EPA is requesting new available data 

on the chlorinated paraffins, referenced 

in Unit II., in different industries and for 

different uses, to inform the risk 

assessments for chlorinated paraffins 

submitted as Toxic Substances Control 

Act (TSCA) Premanufacture Notices 

(PMNs). The risk assessments have been 

placed in a public docket. Any 

comments on the assessments or data to 

inform the assessments will be placed in 

the docket subject to Confidential 

Business Information considerations. 

C. Why is EPA taking this action? 

As a result of its TSCA new chemicals 

review, EPA preliminarily determined 

that the above mentioned chlorinated 

paraffin PMN substances may present 

an unreasonable risk to the environment 

for two independent reasons: (1) The 

PMN substances are expected to be 

persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic 

(PBT) chemicals; and (2) releases of the 

PMN substances may exceed 

concentrations of concern (COCs) to 

aquatic and sediment-dwelling
