proposed development would have an 

annual average generation of about 5 

gigawatt-hours. 

KC Pittsfield’s proposed Alta 

Powerhouse development would consist 

of using PG&E’s existing Unit 2 impulse 

turbine in the Alta Powerhouse of the 

Drum-Spaulding Project with an 

installed capacity of one megawatt or 

installing a new, smaller turbine. The 

Alta Powerhouse receives water from 

the Alta forebay via the Towle canal, 

which diverts water from Canyon Creek. 

Water discharged from the Alta 

Powerhouse is rediverted into the Placer 

County Water Agency’s Lower 

Boardman canal for downstream 

consumptive water demands. This 

proposed development would have an 

average annual generation of 0.03 

gigawatt-hours. 

The project would require 

interconnection with existing PG&E 

transmission facilities. The proposed 

project would have a total installed 

capacity of 3.1 megawatts and generate 

a total estimated average annual energy 

production of 12 gigawatt-hours.

Abstract: Section 1414(c)(3)(A) of the 

Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 18, 2013 / Notices 57379 

requires that each state (a term that 

includes states, commonwealths, tribes 

and territories) that has primary 

enforcement authority under the SDWA 

shall prepare, make readily available to 

the public, and submit to the 

Administrator of EPA, an annual report 

of violations of national primary 

drinking water regulations in the state. 

These Annual State Public Water 

System Compliance Reports are to 

include violations of maximum 

contaminant levels, treatment 

requirements, variances and 

exemptions, and monitoring 

requirements determined to be 

significant by the Administrator after 

consultation with the states. To 

minimize a state’s burden in preparing 

its annual statutorily-required report, 

EPA issued guidance that explains what 

Section 1414(c)(3)(A) requires and 

provides model language and reporting 

templates. EPA also annually makes 

available to the states a computer query 

that generates for each state (from 

information states are already separately 

required to submit to EPA’s national 

database on a quarterly basis) the 

required violations information in a 

table consistent with the reporting 

template in EPA’s guidance. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected Entities: 

Entities potentially affected by this 

action are States that have primacy 

enforcement authority and meet the 

definition of ‘‘state’’ under the SDWA. 

Respondent’s Obligation To Respond: 

mandatory (Section 1414 1414(c)(3)(A) 

of the SDWA) 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 55 

(total). 

Frequency of Response: Annually. 

Total Estimated Burden: 4,400 hours 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.3(b). 

Total Estimated Cost: $232,303 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is no 

change of hours in the total estimated 

respondent burden compared with the 

ICR currently approved by OMB. The 

universe of respondents remains the 

same.

Cancellation of Pesticides for NonPayment of Year 2013 Registration 

Maintenance Fees 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Since the amendments of 

October 1988, the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) 

has required payment of an annual 

maintenance fee to keep pesticide 

registrations in effect. The fee due last 

January 15, 2013, has gone unpaid for 

220 registrations. Section 4(i)(5)(G) of 

FIFRA provides that the EPA 

Administrator may cancel these 

registrations by order and without a 

hearing; orders to cancel all 220 of these 

registrations have been issued within 

the past few days. 

DATES: A cancellation is effective on the 

date the cancellation order is signed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

This action is directed to the public 

in general. Although this action may be 

of particular interest to persons who 

produce or use pesticides, the Agency 

has not attempted to describe all the 

specific entities that may be affected by 

this action. If you have any questions 

regarding the information in this notice, 

consult the person listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

B. How can I get copies of this document 

and other related information? 

EPA has established a docket for this 

action under docket identification (ID) 

number EPA–HQ–OPP–2013–0611.

II. Background 

Section 4(i)(5) of FIFRA, as amended 

in October 1988 (Pub. L. 100–532), 

December 1991 (Pub. L. 102–237), and 

again in August 1996 (Pub. L. 104–170), 

requires that all pesticide registrants pay 

an annual registration maintenance fee, 

due by January 15 of each year, to keep 

their registrations in effect. This 

requirement applies to all registrations 

granted under FIFRA section 3 as well 

as those granted under FIFRA section 

24(c) to meet special local needs. 

Registrations for which the fee is not 

paid are subject to cancellation by order 

and without a hearing. 

The Food, Agriculture, Conservation, 

and Trade Act Amendments of 1991, 

Public Law 102–237, amended FIFRA to 

allow the EPA Administrator to reduce 

or waive maintenance fees for minor 

agricultural use pesticides when she 

determines that the fee would be likely 

to cause significant impact on the 

availability of the pesticide for the use. 

The Agency has waived the fee for 226 

minor agricultural use registrations at 

the request of the registrants. 

In fiscal year 2013, maintenance fees 

were collected in one billing cycle. The 

Pesticide Registration Improvement 

Renewal Act (PRIRA) was passed by 

Congress in October 2007. PRIRA 

authorized the Agency to collect $27.8 

million dollars in maintenance fees in 

fiscal year 2012. In late 2012, all holders 

of either FIFRA section 3 registrations or 

FIFRA section 24(c) registrations were 

sent lists of their active registrations, 

along with forms and instructions for 

responding. They were asked to identify 

which of their registrations they wished 

to maintain in effect, and to calculate 

and remit the appropriate maintenance 

fees. Most responses were received by 

the statutory deadline of January 15. A 

notice of intent to cancel was sent in 

March, 2013, to companies who did not 

respond and to companies who 

responded, but paid for less than all of 

their registrations. Since mailing the 

notices of intent to cancel, EPA has 

maintained a toll-free inquiry number 

through which the questions of affected 

registrants have been answered. 

Maintenance fees have been paid for 

15,804 FIFRA section 3 registrations, or 

about 97% of the registrations on file in 

December 2012. Fees have been paid for 

1,941 FIFRA section 24(c) registrations,
