Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request; Extension: Rule 6e–2 and 

Form N–6EI–1 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 

100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 

20549–2736 

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities 

and Exchange Commission (the 

‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments 

on the collection of information 

summarized below. The Commission 

plans to submit this existing collection 

of information to the Office of 

Management and Budget for extension 

and approval. 

Rule 6e–2 (17 CFR 270.6e–2) under 

the Investment Company Act of 1940 

(‘‘Act’’) (15 U.S.C. 80a) is an exemptive 

rule that provides separate accounts 

formed by life insurance companies to 

fund certain variable life insurance 

products, exemptions from certain 

provisions of the Act, subject to 

conditions set forth in the rule. 

Rule 6e–2 provides a separate account 

with an exemption from the registration 

provisions of section 8(a) of the Act if 

the account files with the Commission 

Form N–6EI–1 (17 CFR 274.301), a 

notification of claim of exemption. 

The rule also exempts a separate 

account from a number of other sections 

of the Act, provided that the separate 

account makes certain disclosure in its 

registration statements (in the case of 

those separate accounts that elect to 

register), reports to contractholders, 

proxy solicitations, and submissions to 

state regulatory authorities, as 

prescribed by the rule. 

Since 2008, there have been no filings 

of Form N–6EI–1 by separate accounts. 

Therefore, there has been no cost or 

burden to the industry since that time. 

The Commission requests authorization 

to maintain an inventory of one burden 

hour for administrative purposes. 

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Commission, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; and (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on respondents, including 

through the use of automated collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. Consideration will be given 

to comments and suggestions submitted 

by December 11, 2023. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

under the PRA unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

Please direct your written comments 

to: David Bottom, Acting Director/Chief 

Information Officer, Securities and 

Exchange Commission, c/o John 

Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington,

BILLING CODE 4710–05–P 

TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY 

Allen Aeroderivative Generation 

Project 

AGENCY: Tennessee Valley Authority. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent. 

SUMMARY: The Tennessee Valley 

Authority (TVA) intends to prepare an 

environmental assessment (EA) or 

environmental impact statement (EIS) to 

address the potential environmental 

impacts associated with the proposed 

installation and operation of six new 

aeroderivative combustion turbine (CT) 

units at the Allen Combustion Turbine 

(ACT) site, located in Shelby County, 

Tennessee, southwest of the City of 

Memphis. The new aeroderivative units 

would generate approximately 200 

Megawatts (MW) of power to help meet 

the growing system demand. The units 

would provide flexible and dispatchable 

transmission grid support and facilitate 

the integration of renewable generation 

onto the TVA bulk transmission system, 

consistent with TVA’s 2019 Integrated 

Resource Plan (IRP). TVA is inviting 

public comment concerning the scope of 

the review, alternatives being 

considered, and environmental issues 

that should be addressed. 

DATES: The public scoping period begins 

with the publication of this Notice of 

Intent in the Federal Register. To ensure 

consideration, comments must be 

postmarked, submitted online, or 

emailed no later than November 13, 

2023. To facilitate the scoping process, 

TVA will hold an in-person public open 

house meeting; see https://www.tva.gov/ 

NEPA for more information on the 

meeting. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be submitted by email to NEPA@tva.gov 

or online at https://www.tva.gov/NEPA. 

Comments may also be mailed to 

Matthew Higdon, NEPA Specialist, 400 

West Summit Hill Drive #WT11B, 

Knoxville, Tennessee 37902. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Matthew Higdon by email to nepa@

tva.gov, by phone at (865) 632–8051, or 

by mail at the address above. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice is provided in accordance with 

the Council on Environmental Quality’s 

Regulations (40 CFR parts 1500 to 1508) 

and TVA’s procedures for implementing 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA). TVA is an agency and 

instrumentality of the United States, 

established by an act of Congress in 

1933, to foster the social and economic 

welfare of the people of the Tennessee 

Valley region and to promote the proper 

use and conservation of the region’s 

natural resources. One component of 

this mission is the generation, 

transmission, and sale of reliable and 

affordable electric energy. 

Preliminary Proposed Action and 

Alternatives 

TVA anticipates that the scope of the 

EA or EIS will evaluate an Action 

Alternative and a No Action Alternative. 

Under the Action Alternative, TVA 

would install and operate six new 

aeroderivative combustion turbine units 

generating approximately 200 MW of 

power at ACT. TVA would also 

continue to operate two existing CT 

units which would provide an 

additional 120 MW of power. The new 

units would support fast-start 

dispatching and have synchronous 

condensing capabilities to improve grid 

stability. Four of the units would have 

black-start capabilities. Under the 

proposal, TVA would implement the 

best available control technologies to 

mitigate air emissions. Construction 

would occur over a one-year timeframe 

(approximately) beginning in 2025 or 

2026, with construction activities taking 

place within previously disturbed areas 

at ACT and adjacent properties. 

Commercial operations would begin in 

2025 or 2026. 

Under the No Action Alternative, 

TVA would not install new 

aeroderivative CT units at the ACT, and 

TVA would retire all existing units. The 

No Action alternative provides a 

baseline for comparing against the 

Action Alternative. 

Background 

In the 2019 IRP, TVA evaluated six 

scenarios (plausible futures) and five 

strategies (potential TVA responses to 

those plausible futures) and identified a 

range of potential resource additions 

and retirements throughout the TVA 

power service area, which encompasses 

approximately 80,000 square miles. The 

target supply mix adopted by the TVA 

Board through the 2019 IRP included 

the addition of up to 5,200 MW of 

simple cycle capacity by 2028 to 

facilitate the integration of solar onto 

the TVA bulk power system. 

Investments in adding aeroderivative 

CTs to the peaking fleet aligns with the 

direction in the IRP, which 

recommended enhancing system 

flexibility to integrate renewables and 

distributed resources, with substantial 

solar additions over the next two 

decades. As the amount of solar 

generation on the TVA generation 

portfolio continues to increase, 

flexibility of the remainder of the fleet 

becomes even more important. For 

instance, cloud patterns that 

temporarily block the sun and reduce 

solar generation require other generating 

units to respond to continue to reliably 

supply power to customers. 

Aeroderivative CTs are inherently wellsuited to provide flexibility, enabling 

the remainder of the system to better 

integrate renewables. 

Since the completion of the IRP, TVA 

has seen a strong increase in electric 

demand. Population has increased in 

the TVA service region by 1.5 percent 

since 2019. TVA expects continued 

strong growth in annual electric demand 

through the middle of this decade. 

Forecasted electric demand is expected 

to grow more than one percent per year 

on average between 2023–2026. Current 

system modeling shows that with 

increased residential migration and 

commercial development, TVA must 

add capacity to the system to maintain 

adequate operating reserves. 

In 2019, TVA also completed a CT 

Modernization Study to evaluate the 

condition of its existing CT units and 

form recommendations for investments 

to ensure a reliable and flexible peaking 

fleet into the future. The results of the 

study identified the ACT units as the 

‘‘most challenged’’ based on their age 

and material condition and 

recommended that they be replaced. 

The CT Modernization Study also 

recommended adding new 

aeroderivative CTs to enhance system 

flexibility, integrate increasing 

renewable capacity, and provide 

dispatchable capacity. The proposed 

action would also be consistent with the 

findings and recommendations of this 

study. 

In June 2021, TVA issued an 

environmental assessment (EA) 

addressing the retirement of the CT 

units at Allen. At that time, TVA issued 

the Paradise and Colbert Combustion 

Turbine EA and an associated finding of 

no significant impact, in which TVA
