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 commentperiod 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.

Dated: May 18, 2011. R. Jack Dodd, Assistant Administrator for Corporate Liaison.

Title: PM 2.5 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 PM 2.5 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 PM 2.5 NAAQS, and 4,243 hours per response for the 2006 PM 2.5 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’sinformation 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 burdenassociated 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 PM 2.5 standard led to designations of new areas as non-attainment, leading to an increased burden on those respondents.
