Technical Conference on Transmission Vegetation Management Practices

Docket No. AD11–2–000
October 26, 2010 Agenda 1 p.m. Welcome and Opening Remarks

The purpose of the conference is to discuss current vegetation management programs and practices as required under the Commission-approved Reliability Standard FAC–003–1— Transmission Vegetation Management Program (TVMP). 1 Reliability Standard FAC–003–1 applies to all transmission lines operated at 200 kV and above, and to lower voltage lines designated as

‘‘critical to the reliability of the electric system in the region. ’’ 2

Certain landowners and other affected parties have raised concerns about changes in vegetation management practices that utilities implemented following adoption of FAC–003–1. Because reliability of the Bulk-Power System is critical, the Commission is interested in obtaining a better understanding of the scope of any changes in vegetation management practices since FAC–003–1 was approved as mandatory and enforceable, and the extent to which such changes resulted from the requirements imposed under FAC–003–1. The Commission is also interested in obtaining a better understanding of the range of vegetation management practices used by transmission owners, and the reasons for selecting a given practice over alternatives.

Working Group, Greenburgh Environmental Forum. Representative from another State

public service commission (invited). 1:10 p.m. Session 1 —This session will explore the requirements and impact of mandatory Reliability Standard FAC–
003–1.

• What is required by Reliability Standard FAC–003–1? What is its purpose? Who must comply and what facilities are subject to it?

• Are there corresponding or conflicting vegetation management requirements at the State level? How are such requirements developed and to what facilities do they apply?

• What are common methods used for vegetation management, and what are the benefits of each method?

• Why do utilities choose one method over another? Cost, benefit of one method over another, or for other reasons?

• What’s contained in a typical TMVP? Are there different types of TVMPs so that a utility might have one for FAC–003–1 compliance and another for compliance with State/local vegetation management requirements? How is a TVMP created, implemented, and approved?

• What effect did mandatory Reliability Standard FAC–003–1 have on vegetation management practices? Was there a change in vegetation management practices post-June 18, 2007?

• Questions from Staff. 3 p.m. Break

3:15 p.m. Session 2—This session will focus on Right of Way (ROW) agreements and landowner concerns and possible solutions.

• What provisions are typically contained in a electric transmission line ROW agreement ( e.g., common provisions, rights and obligations of the utility and landowner)? How are these agreements developed/negotiated? Who has jurisdiction over them? Who is the arbiter of any disputes?

• Concerns raised by landowners regarding ROW maintenance, causes of disputes that say the utility blamed FERC for having to clear cut the right of way and remove trees that had long been in place.

• Landowner avenues for relief; can a landowner prevent ROW maintenance?

• Costs for vegetation management and who bears them? Are any such costs recovered in transmission tariffs subject to the Commission’s jurisdiction? How are they reviewed by State PSC/PUCs?

• What is the impact, if any, of vegetation management practices on the siting of new (or upgraded) transmission lines? How can this impact be mitigated?

• Questions from Staff.

• Questions from the public. 4:45 Concluding Remarks

Title: Federal Implementation Plans under the Clean Air Act for Indian Reservations in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.

ICR number: EPA ICR No. 2020.05, OMB Control No. 2060–0558.

ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on May 31, 2011. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.

Abstract: EPA promulgated Federal Implementation Plans (FIPs) under the Clean Air Act for Indian reservations located in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington in 40 CFR part 49 (70 FR 18074, April 8, 2005). The FIPs in the final rule, also referred to as the Federal Air Rules for Indian Reservations in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington (FARR), include information collection requirements associated with the fugitive particulate matter rule in § 49.126, the woodwaste burner rule in § 49.127; the rule for limiting sulfur in fuels in § 49.130; the rule for open burning in § 49.131; the rules for general open burning permits, agricultural burning permits, and forestry and silvicultural burning permits in §§ 49.132, 49.133, and 49.134; the registration rule in § 49.138; and the rule for non-Title V operating permits in § 49.139. EPA uses this information to manage the activities and sources of air pollution on the Indian reservations in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. EPA believes these information collection requirements are appropriate because they will enable EPA to develop and maintain accurate records of air pollution sources and their emissions, track emissions trends and changes, identify potential air quality problems, allow EPA to issue permits or approvals, and ensure appropriate records are available to verify compliance with these FIPs. The information collection requirements listed above are all mandatory. Regulated entities can assert claims of business confidentiality and EPA will address these claims in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR part 2, subpart B.

Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 3.69 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.


### 66756 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 209 / Friday, October 29, 2010 / Notices

The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency’s estimate, which is only briefly summarized here:

Estimated total number of potential respondents: 1,694.

Frequency of response: Annual and on occasion.

Estimated total annual burden hours: 6,245.

Estimated total annual costs: $396,245. This includes an estimated labor cost of $396,245, and capital investment and operation and maintenance costs are assumed to be

zero. Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

There is an increase of 1,956 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase reflects adjustments to the burden estimates for this collection using consultation input, historical data, and experience with implementing the FARR. Some components of the burden estimates increased and some components decreased. In most cases, the burden estimates increased based on input from the source consultations. For some provisions the estimates of the number of respondents increased. Some estimates changed based on additional information EPA has gained through implementing the rules. What is the next step in the process for this ICR?

EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the technical person listed under **FOR**
