Commission

[Project No. 2413–040]

Georgia Power Company; Notice of

Availability of Draft Environmental

Assessment

October 13, 2000.

An environmental assessment (EA) is

available for public review. The EA

analyzes the environmental impacts of

approving Georgia Power Company’s

(licensee for the Wallace Dam Project,

FERC No. 2413) request to permit the

Reynolds Plantation to increase the rate

of water withdrawal 3 MGD, about 4.6

cubic feet per second (cfs), to 14.125

MGD, about 21.9 cfs. No additional

construction is required at either site.

The Reynold plantation would

increase the water withdrawal at the

Rees Jones intake facility from 0.75

million gallons per day (MGD) from

Lake Oconee to 10.75 MGD. The

Reynolds Plantation also would increase

the rate of water withdrawal at the

National Course facility from 0.75 MGD

to 1.875 MGD.

The EA was written by staff in the

Office of Energy Projects, Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission. In the

EA, Commission staff conclude that

approving the licensee’s request to

permit the Reynold plantation to

increase it’s water withdrawals from

Lake Oconee would not constitute a

major federal action significantly

affecting the quality of the human

environment. Copies of the EA can be

viewed on the web at www.ferc.fed.us/

online/rims.htm. Call (202) 208–2222

for assistance. Copies are also available

for inspection and reproduction at the

Commission’s Public Reference Room,

located at 888 First Street NE, Room 2A,

Washington, DC 20426, or by calling

(202) 208–1371.

Anyone may file comments on the

EA. The public, federal and state

resource agencies are encouraged to

provide comments. All written

comments must be filed within 30 days

of the issuance date of this notice shown

above. Send an original and eight copies

of all comments marked with the docket

number P–2413–040 to: The Secretary,

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street NE, Washington, DC

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3507(a)(1)(D)), this notice announces

that the Information Collection Request

(ICR) has been forwarded to the Office

of Management and Budget (OMB) for

review and approval: Standards of

Performance for New Stationary

Sources—Ammonium Sulfate

Manufacturing Plants—NSPS Subpart

PP (OMB #2060–0032), expiration date

11/30/00. The ICR describes the nature

of the information collection and its

expected burden and cost; where

appropriate, it includes the actual data

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Standards of Performance for

Ammonium Sulfate Manufacturing

Plants (OMB Control No.2060–0032;

EPA ICR No 1066.03), expiration date

11/30/00. This is a request for extension

of a currently approved collection.

Abstract: The Administrator has

judged that PM emissions from

ammonium sulfate manufacturing

plants cause or contribute to air

pollution that may reasonably be

anticipated to endanger public health or

welfare. Owners/operators of

ammonium sulfate manufacturing

plants must make the following onetime-only reports: notification of the

date of construction or reconstruction;

notification of the anticipated and

actual dates of startup; notification of

any physical or operational change to an

existing facility which may increase the

regulated pollutant emission rate; and

the notification of the date of the initial

performance test. The recordkeeping

requirements for ammonium sulfate

plants consist of the occurrence and

duration of all start-ups and

malfunctions, the initial performance

tests results, amount of ammonium

sulfate feed material, and the pressure

drop across the emission control system.

Records of startups, shutdowns and

malfunctions shall be noted as they

occur. Records of the performance test

should include information necessary to

determine the conditions of the

performance test, and performance test

measurements (including pressure drop

across the emission control system) and

results. The Continuous Monitoring

System (CMS) shall record pressure

drop across the scrubbers continuously

and automatically.

In order to ensure compliance with

the standards promulgated to protect

public health, adequate reporting and

recordkeeping is necessary. In the

absence of such information

enforcement personnel would be unable

to determine whether the standards are

being met on a continuous basis, as

required by the Clean Air Act.

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 are listed

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter

15. The Federal Register document

required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d),

soliciting comments on this collection

of information was published on April

18, 2000; no comments were received.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 91 hours per

response. Burden means the total time,

effort, or financial resources expended

by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
