Post2017BCP@wapa.gov. Information 

regarding Western’s Boulder Canyon 

Project (BCP) Post-2017 remarketing 

efforts, the Energy Management and 

Planning Program (Program), and the 

Conformed General Consolidated Power 

Marketing Criteria or Regulations for 

Boulder City Area Projects (Conformed 

Criteria) published in the Federal 

Register on December 28, 1984 (49 FR 

50582), are available at http:// 

www.wapa.gov/dsw/pwrmkt. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

In an April 27, 2011 FRN, Western 

announced that it will apply the 

Program’s Power Marketing Initiative to 

the BCP and that Western has 

determined that all BCP electric service 

contracts resulting from this 

remarketing effort shall have a term of 

thirty (30) years commencing October 1, 

2017. The effective date of these 

decisions was initially May 27, 2011. 

Western also made additional 

proposals relative to the BCP Post-2017 

remarketing effort, including the 

amount of marketable contingent 

capacity and firm energy, the amount of 

marketable contingent capacity and firm 

energy to be extended to existing 

contractors, the size of the resource pool 

to be created, and excess energy 

provisions. Western announced that 

public comments on these proposals 

would be accepted through June 16, 

2011. 

Since publication of this FRN, 

Western has received comments 

requesting an extension of the effective 

date of these decisions and the comment 

period to allow additional time for ongoing legislative activities. In 

consideration of these comments, 

Western has decided to extend the 

effective date of these decisions and the 

comment period for the proposals 

described in Western’s April 27, 2011 

FRN. The effective date of these 

decisions is now December 31, 2011, 

and comments will be accepted until 

September 1, 2011 (see DATES). 

Western canceled the public 

information and comment forums that 

were scheduled as a result of its April 

27, 2011 FRN. Western did not hold 

public forums on the BCP Post-2017 

remarketing effort on May 25, 2011. 

Western has rescheduled these public 

forums as described in this notice (see 

DATES). 

This extension provides additional 

time for on-going legislative activities as 

well as additional opportunity for 

interested parties, including Native 

American Tribes, to consult with 

Western and comment on the proposals.

Title: PM2.5 National Ambient Air 

Quality Standard Implementation 

(Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2258.02, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0611. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on May 31, 2011. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 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, 

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: The purpose of this ICR is to 

assess the burden (in hours and dollars) 

of the 1997 and 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS as 

well as associated the periodic reporting 

and record keeping. The ICR addresses 

requirements that involve collecting 

information from states with areas that 

have been designated nonattainment for 

the PM2.5 NAAQS. 

The time period covered in this ICR 

is a 3 year period from June 1, 2011 

through May 31, 2014. The milestones 

for the state or local air agency 

respondents include the required State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) elements 

prescribed in the Clean Air Act (CAA) 

sections 110 and part D, subpart 1 of 

title I for Implementation plans and the 

requirements in the PM2.5 NAAQS 

Implementation Rule (40 CFR 51.1000— 

51.1012). The PM2.5 SIP will contain 

rules and other requirements designed 

to achieve the NAAQS by the deadlines 

established under the CAA, and it also 

contains a demonstration that the state’s 

requirements will in fact result in 

attainment. The SIP must meet the 

requirements in subpart 1 to adopt 

Reasonable Available Control Measures, 

Reasonable Available Control 

Technology, and provide for Reasonable 

Further Progress toward attainment for 

the period prior to the area’s attainment 

date. However, not all of the milestones 

and associated burden and 

administrative cost estimates apply to 

every designated PM2.5 nonattainment 

area. Areas with cleaner air quality have 

fewer requirements. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 317 hours per 

response for the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS, 

and 4,243 hours per response for the 

2006 PM2.5 NAAQS. 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. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Entities potentially affected by this 

action are states and Regional offices. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

39. 

Frequency of Response: Annual. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

175,400. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$11,418,540 million in labor costs. 

There are no annualized capital or O&M 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 34,600 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This decrease reflects EPA’s 

information that the number of nonattainment areas for the 1997 PM2.5

standard has decreased as areas have 

come into compliance with the 

standards and that the burden 

associated with the remaining nonattainment areas is less because of the 

work they have done previously to 

comply with the standards. At the same 

time, promulgation of the 2006 PM2.5

standard led to designations of new 

areas as non-attainment, leading to an 

increased burden on those respondents.
