Proposed Collection; Comment

Request

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as

part of its continuing effort to reduce

paperwork and respondent burden

conducts a preclearance consultation

program to provide the general public

and Federal agencies with an

opportunity to comment on proposed

and/or continuing collections of

information in accordance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(PRA95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This

program helps to ensure that requested

data can be provided in the desired

format, reporting burden (time and

financial resources) is minimized,

collection instruments are clearly

understood, and the impact of collection

requirements on respondents can be

properly assessed. Currently, the

Employment and Training

Administration is soliciting comments

concerning the proposed extension of

the collection of the State Income and

Eligibility Verification provisions of the

Deficit Reduction Act. A copy of the

proposed information collection request

(ICR) can be obtained by contacting the

office listed below in the addressee

section of this notice.

DATES: Written comments must be

submitted to the office listed in the

addressee section below on or before

January 2, 2001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

The Deficit Reduction Act of 1984

established an income and eligibility

verification system for the exchange of

information among State agencies

administering specific programs. The

programs are: Aid to Families with

Dependent Children, Medicaid, Food

Stamps, Supplemental Security Income,

Unemployment Compensation and any

State program approved under Title I, X,

XIV, or XVI of the Social Security Act.

Under the Act, programs participating

must exchange information to the extent

it is useful and productive in verifying

eligibility and benefit amounts to assist

in the child support program and the

Secretary of Health and Human Services

in verifying eligibility and benefit

amounts under Titles II and XVI of the

Social Security Act.

II. Review Focus

The Department of Labor is

particularly interested in comments

which:

• Evaluate whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of the

functions of the agency, including

whether the information will have

practical utility;

• Evaluate the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information,

including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used;

• Enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and

• Minimize the burden of the

collection of information on those who

are to respond, including through the

use of appropriate automated,

electronic, mechanical, or other

technological collection techniques or

other forms of information technology,

e.g., permitting electronic submissions

of responses.

III. Current Actions

As the only continuous source of

information on the Income and

Eligibility program, the data is required

to monitor and evaluate that program.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. STN 50–528, STN 50–529, and

STN 50–530]

Arizona Public Service Company, et al.

Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station,

Units 1, 2, and 3; Notice of

Consideration of Approval of

Application Regarding Proposed

Corporate Restructuring of El Paso

Electric Company and Conforming

Amendments, and Opportunity for a

Hearing

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) is

considering the issuance of an order

under 10 CFR 50.80 approving the

indirect transfer of Facility Operating

Licenses Nos. NPF–41, NPF–51, and

NPF–74 for the Palo Verde Nuclear

Generating Station (Palo Verde), Units 1,

2, and 3, respectively, to the extent held

by El Paso Electric Company (EPE), one

of seven joint owners or lessees of Palo

Verde. The indirect transfers would

occur in connection with a proposed

corporate restructuring of EPE. The

Commission is also considering

approving conforming license

amendments to reflect the proposed

renaming of EPE, which is part of the

restructuring plan for EPE. The facility

is located in Maricopa County, Arizona.

According to a July 6, 2000,

application filed by EPE, which was

supplemented by a letter dated July 7,

2000, submitted by counsel for EPE, and

a conforming amendment application

dated October 3, 2000, submitted by

Arizona Public Service Company, the

licensed operator of Palo Verde, the

proposed indirect transfers of the Palo

Verde licenses as held by EPE would be

to a newly created holding company, El

Paso Electric Incorporated. El Paso

Electric Incorporated will be created to

implement the public utility

restructuring requirements of the New

Mexico Electric Utility Industry

Restructuring Act of 1999, SB 428,

NMSA 1978, §§ 62–3A–1 through 23

(1999) (the ‘‘Restructuring Act’’). The

proposed restructuring encompasses the

formation of El Paso Electric

Incorporated, EPE becoming a direct

subsidiary of El Paso Electric

Incorporated, and a change in EPE’s

name to MiraSol Generating Company.

Also, EPE will transfer its transmission

and distribution assets to a new

transmission and distribution company.

Arizona Public Service Company

would remain as the managing agent for

the joint owners or lessees of the facility

and would continue to have exclusive

responsibility for the management,

operation, and maintenance of Palo
