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. 

Panelists (for Both Panels)

Analyst, New York Public Service 

Commission. 

Robert Novembri—Senior Event 

Investigator, North American Electric 

Reliability Corporation.

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.

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. 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES

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

Notice 

In accordance with Section 309(a) of 

the Clean Air Act, EPA is required to 

make its comments on EISs issued by 

other Federal agencies public. 

Historically, EPA has met this mandate 

by publishing weekly notices of 

availability of EPA comments, which 

includes a brief summary of EPA’s 

comment letters, in the Federal 

Register. Since February 2008, EPA has 

been including its comment letters on 

EISs on its Web site at: http:// 

www.epa.gov/compliance/nepa/ 

eisdata.html. Including the entire EIS 

comment letters on the Web site 

satisfies the Section 309(a) requirement 

to make EPA’s comments on EISs 

available to the public. Accordingly, on 

March 31, 2010, EPA discontinued the 

publication of the notice of availability 

of EPA comments in the Federal 

Register.
