Electricity Delivery and Energy 

Reliability, Mail Code: OE–20, U.S. 

Department of Energy, 1000

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Exports of 

electricity from the United States to a 

foreign country are regulated by the 

Department of Energy (DOE) pursuant to 

sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the 

Department of Energy Organization Act 

(42 U.S.C. 7151(b), 7172(f)) and require 

authorization under section 202(e) of 

the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 

824a(e)). 

On December 5, 2008, DOE issued 

Order No. EA–345, which authorized 

NBEMC, under its former name New 

Brunswick Power Generation 

Corporation, to transmit electric energy 

from the United States to Canada as a 

power marketer for a five-year term 

using existing international 

transmission facilities. That authority 

expires on December 5, 2013. On 

October 5, 2013, NBEMC filed an 

application with DOE for renewal of the 

export authority contained in Order No. 

EA–345 for an additional five-year term. 

NBEMC, a Canadian corporation, is a 

power marketer in New Brunswick 

Province, Canada. The principal 

business of NBEMC, as directed by 

statute, is the import and export of 

energy to and from the Province of New 

Brunswick. NBEMC states that it does 

not own, operate, or control any 

physical assets such as electric 

generating or transmission facilities, and 

it does not have a franchised service 

area. The electric energy that NBEMC 

proposes to export to Canada would be 

surplus energy purchased from electric 

utilities and other suppliers within the 

United States. The existing international 

transmission facilities to be utilized by 

NBEMC have previously been 

authorized by Presidential permits 

issued pursuant to Executive Order 

10485, as amended, and are appropriate 

for open access transmission by third 

parties. 

Procedural Matters: Any person 

desiring to be heard in this proceeding 

should file a comment or protest to the 

application at the address provided 

above. Protests should be filed in 

accordance with Rule 211 of the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) 

Rules of Practice and Procedures (18 

CFR 385.211). Any person desiring to 

become a party to these proceedings 

should file a motion to intervene at the 

above address in accordance with FERC 

Rule 214 (18 CFR 385.214). Five copies 

of such comments, protests, or motions 

to intervene should be sent to the 

address provided above on or before the 

date listed above. 

Comments on the NBEMC application 

to export electric energy to Canada 

should be clearly marked with OE 

Docket No. EA–345–A. An additional 

copy is to be provided directly to NB 

Energy Marketing Corporation, Attn: 

Secretary and General Counsel, P.O. Box 

2040, Fredericton, New Brunswick E3B 

5G4 and Steven Hudson, P.O. Box 1058, 

45 Memorial Circle, Augusta, Maine 

04332. A final decision will be made on 

this application after the environmental 

impacts have been evaluated pursuant 

to DOE’s National Environmental Policy 

Act Implementing Procedures (10 CFR 

part 1021) and after a determination is 

made by DOE that the proposed action 

will not have an adverse impact on the 

sufficiency of supply or reliability of the 

U.S. electric power supply system. 

Copies of this application will be 

made available, upon request, for public 

inspection and copying at the address

extraordinary circumstances resulting 

from the lapse in Federal appropriations 

in October 2013 and the resulting 

postponement of the EM SSAB Chairs’ 

meeting, which originally was 

scheduled for October 16–17, 2013. 

Rescheduling for the dates of November 

5–6, 2013, is necessary in order to 

accommodate participation by senior 

management and to avoid conflicts with 

the scheduled committee meetings of 

this federal advisory board. The EM 

SSAB Chairs have not had a face-to-face 

meeting in over a year, and these 

meetings constitute the full board 

meetings of the EM SSAB, fulfilling 

Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA) requirements. Arrangements 

and meeting costs agreed upon for the 

postponed meeting will be extended by 

the vendors if the meeting is held 

within this timeframe. A later date at 

this Ohio venue is inadvisable due to 

inclement weather concerns. 

Minutes: Minutes will be available by 

writing or calling Catherine Alexander 

at the address or phone number listed 

above. Minutes will also be available at

Abstract: Under the provisions of the 

Clean Air Act (CAA), the Administrator 

is required to promulgate regulations to 

control air pollutant emissions from 

motor vehicles and nonroad engines, as 

defined in the CAA. Per Sections 

207(c)(1) and 213 of the CAA, when a 

substantial number of properly 

maintained and used engines produced 

by a manufacturer do not conform to 

emission standards, the manufacturer is 

required to recall the engines. Engine 

manufacturers are required to submit 

Defect Information Reports (DIRs) if 

emission-related defects are found on 

engines of the same model year that may 

cause the engines’ emissions to exceed 

the standards. EPA uses these reports to 

target potentially nonconforming classes 

of engines for future testing, to monitor 

compliance with applicable regulations 

and to order a recall, if necessary. 

Manufacturers can also initiate a recall 

voluntarily by submitting a Voluntary 

Emission Recall Report (VERR). VERRs 

and VERR updates allow EPA to 

determine whether the manufacturer 

conducting the recall is acting in 

accordance with the CAA and to 

examine and monitor the effectiveness 

of the recall campaign. 

Forms: The forms associated with this 

ICR are available in the docket (EPA– 

HQ–OAR–2006–0895). 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Manufacturers of heavy-duty highway 

and nonroad engines. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory under 40 CFR parts 85, 89, 

90, 91, 92, 94, 1035, 1039, 1042, 1045, 

1048, 1051, 1054, 1068. 

Estimated number of respondents: 40 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Quarterly. 

Total estimated burden: 15,084 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $1,042,252 (per 

year), includes $9,800 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is 

decrease of 11,479 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This decrease is due to a 

significant decrease in the estimated 

number of respondents. This decrease is 

due to adjustments EPA has made to its 

estimates.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
