**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 provided above, by accessing the program Web site at http://energy.gov/ node/11845, or by emailing Angela Troy

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.

Supporting documents, which explain in detail the information that the EPA will be collecting, are available in the public docket for this ICR.

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).

T otal 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.
