SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Western

intends to prepare an EIS regarding the

proposal by PPL Global to construct an

electric generating facility on private

property and to interconnect this facility

with an existing Western transmission

line and Western’s grid in the vicinity

of Coolidge, Arizona. Two 4.5-mile long

transmission lines would connect the

proposed power generating facility with

a point of interconnection on Western’s

Liberty-Coolidge 230 kilovolt (kV)

transmission line west of Coolidge. In

addition, a 1.5 mile, 230-kV

transmission line would connect the

powerplant with Western’s Signal

Substation. An existing 115-kV

transmission line from Signal

Substation would be upgraded to 230-

kV and other work inside Signal

Substation would be required.

PPL Global proposes to construct the

Sundance Energy Project on private

lands in Pinal County, approximately 5

miles southwest of Coolidge, Arizona.

The Project would be a nonutility

merchant plant that would sell power

during peak demand periods to

wholesale-only contract or spot market

customers. All economic costs of the

project will be born by PPL Global.

The Project would consist of a

nominal 600-megawatt natural gas-fired

simple-cycle peaking facility and on-site

supporting infrastructure including: an

administration building, warehouse

storage, water treatment facilities, inlet

air cooling system to optimize inlet air

combustion, gas conditioning

equipment, and new on-site access

roads. The Project would be designed to

operate primarily during on-peak hours.

The Project’s water consumption would

be about 600 acre/feet per year. The

water source would be excess Central

Arizona Project water delivered through

an existing irrigation canal at the site, a

new groundwater well, or a combination

of both. The generating facility and

infrastructure would occupy less than

40 acres of a 280-acre parcel of rural

property controlled by PPL Global.

Additional proposed on-site facilities

would include an interconnection with

an existing natural gas transmission

pipeline that runs through the Project

property and the construction of 14

miles of natural gas pipeline to connect

with another existing natural gas

transmission pipeline southwest of the

proposed powerplant.

The Project would entail construction

of new 230-kV transmission lines and

the upgrade of Western’s existing

Signal-Coolidge 115–kV transmission

line to 230-kV to interconnect with

Western’s existing Liberty-Coolidge 230-

kV transmission line.

Because of the potential for

incorporating new generation into

Western’s system, and the proposed

interconnections with the existing

system, Western has determined it must

prepare an EIS in accordance with the

U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE)

NEPA Implementing Procedures found

at 10 CFR 1021, Appendix D6 to

Subpart D. Although State and local

agencies are responsible for the siting

and permitting of the proposed electric

generating facility, the EIS will include

the analysis of effects from construction

and operation of the generating facility

as part of the proposed action.

The EIS will be prepared in

accordance with the requirement of

NEPA and DOE’s NEPA Implementing

Procedures in conjunction with the

Council on Environmental Quality

regulations. Full public participation

and disclosure are planned for the entire

EIS process. Western anticipates the EIS

process will take about 15 months. It

will include public information/scoping

meetings; coordination and involvement

with appropriate Federal, State, local,

and tribal governments; public review

and hearing on the published draft EIS;

a published final EIS; and a Record of

Decision (ROD). Publication of the ROD

is anticipated in the fall of 2001.

Dated: September 29, 2000.

Administrator.

III. What is the Agency’s Authority for

Taking this Action?

Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that

a registrant of apesticide product may at

any time request that any of itspesticide

registrations be amended to delete one

or more uses.The Act further provides

that, before acting on the request,

EPAmust publish a notice of receipt of

any such request in theFederal Register.

Thereafter, the Administrator may

approve such a request.

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of

Request

Registrants who choose to withdraw a

request forcancellation must submit

such withdrawal in writing to James

A.Hollins, at the address given above,

postmarked before April 16, 2001,

unless indicated otherwise. This written

withdrawal of therequest for

cancellation will apply only to the

applicable6(f)(1) request listed in this

notice. If the product(s) havebeen

subject to a previous cancellation

action, the effectivedate of cancellation

and all other provisions of any

earliercancellation action are

controlling. The withdrawal request

mustalso include a commitment to pay

any reregistration fees due, andto fulfill

any applicable unsatisfied data

requirements.

V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing

Stocks

The effective date of cancellation will

be the date of thecancellation order. The

orders effecting these

requestedcancellations will generally

permit a registrant to sell ordistribute

existing stocks for 1 year after the date

thecancellation request was received by

the Agency. This policy isin accordance

with the Agency’s statement of policy as

prescribedin Federal Register (56 FR

29362) June 26, 1991; (FRL 3846–

4).Exception to this general rule will be

made if a product poses arisk concern,

or is in noncompliance with

reregistrationrequirements, or is subject

to a data call-in. In all cases,productspecific disposition dates will be given

in thecancellation orders.

Existing stocks are those stocks of

registered pesticide productswhich are

currently in the United States and

which have beenpackaged, labeled, and

released for shipment prior to

theeffective date of the cancellation

action. Unless the provisionsof an

earlier order apply, existing stocks

already in the handsof dealers or users

can be distributed, sold or used

legallyuntil they are exhausted,

provided that such further sale and

usecomply with the EPA-approved label

and labeling of the affectedproduct(s).

Exceptions to these general rules will be

made inspecific cases when more

stringent restrictions on

sale,distribution, or use of the products

or their ingredients havealready been

imposed, as in Special Review actions,

or where theAgency has identified

significant potential risk concerns

associated with a particular chemical.
