**Osprey II, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing**  **and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications** 

October 19, 2010.

On June 28, 2010, Osprey II, LLC filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the 649 Water Street Project to be located on the Cobbosseecontee Stream, in Kennebec County, Maine. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a license application during the permit term. A preliminary permit does not authorize the permit holder to perform any land-disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the owners’ express permission.

The proposed project would consist of: (1) A new intake structure with trash racks; (2) a new 6-foot-diameter, 1,900- foot-long buried concrete penstock; (3) a new approximately 400-square-foot powerhouse containing two new turbines and generators with a total installed capacity of 1.5 megawatts; (4) a new tailrace; (5) a new 7.2 or 12.47- kilovolt transmission line connecting to an existing distribution line immediately adjacent to the proposed powerhouse; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The project would have an estimated annual generation of 8,760 megawatt-hours.

7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and Federal Register citation. What information collection activity or ICR does this apply to?

Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are private sector and State, Local, or Tribal governments. Title: Hazardous Waste Specific Unit Requirements, and Special Waste Processes and Types.

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1572.08, OMB Control No. 2050–0050.

ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on March 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, 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: This ICR provides a discussion of all of the information collection requirements associated with specific unit standards applicable to owners and operators of facilities that treat, store, or dispose of hazardous wastes as defined by 40 CFR Part 261. It includes a detailed description of the data items and respondent activities associated with each requirement and with each hazardous waste management unit at a facility.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  On October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) was published in the Federal Register (70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR establishes electronic reporting as an acceptable regulatory alternative to paper reporting and establishes requirements to assure that electronic documents are as legally dependable as their paper counterparts. Under Subpart D of CROMERR, state, tribe or local government agencies that receive, or wish to begin receiving, electronic reports under their EPA-authorized programs must apply to EPA for a revision or modification of those programs and get EPA approval. Subpart D also provides standards for such approvals based on consideration of the electronic document receiving systems that the state, tribe, or local government will use to implement the electronic reporting. Additionally, in § 3.1000(b) through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D provides special procedures for program revisions and modifications to allow electronic reporting, to be used at the option of the state, tribe or local government in place of proceduresavailable under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An application submitted under the subpart D procedures must show that the state, tribe or local government has sufficient legal authority to implement the electronic reporting components of the programs covered by the application and will use electronic document receiving systems that meet the applicable subpart D requirements.

On April 27, 2010, the State of Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ARDEQ) submitted an application for its Net Discharge Monitoring Report (NetDMR) electronic document receiving system for revision of its 40 CFR part 123—National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) State Program Requirements EPA-authorized program for electronic reporting of Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) information under 40 CFR part 122.

EPA has reviewed ARDEQ’s request to revise its EPA-authorized program and, based on this review, EPA has determined that the application meets the standards for approval of authorized program revisions/modifications set out in 40 CFR part 3, subpart D. In accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(d), this notice of EPA’s decision to approve Arkansas’s request for revision to its 40 CFR part 123—NPDES State Program Requirements authorized program for electronic reporting of discharge monitoring report information is being published in the Federal Register

.

ARDEQ was notified of EPA’s determination to approve its application with respect to the authorized program listed above.
