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)


### 57379 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 18, 2013 / Notices

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.

. 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,
