Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 182 / Thursday, September 19, 2024 / Notices 76825 

are not considered part of the 

Commission record. 

The Commission’s Rules of Practice 

and Procedure require all intervenors 

filing documents with the Commission 

to serve a copy of that document on 

each person whose name appears on the 

official service list for the project. 

Further, if an intervenor files comments 

or documents with the Commission 

relating to the merits of an issue that 

may affect the responsibilities of a 

particular resource agency, they must 

also serve a copy of the document on 

that resource agency. 

l. Description of Request: As licensed, 

the unconstructed project would 

contain one turbine that produced 28.1 

megawatts (MW) generating capacity. To 

install the single unit would require 

excavation of 100 feet of material, that 

may not be safe for the adjacent Corps 

facilities. Therefore, the licensee is 

proposing an alternate design that 

would utilize 5 smaller turbine units 

that would greatly reduce the depth of 

excavation. The proposed amendment 

would still have the same generating 

capacity of 28.1 MW but would reduce 

the rated turbine discharge of 18,486 to 

17,650 cubic feet per second. The 

powerhouse would be redesigned to 

hold the five 3.65-meter bulb turbinegenerator units, and would be 

approximately 170-feet-wide, 135-feethigh, and 180-feet-long. The headrace 

channel and tailrace channels would 

also be redesigned from what was 

originally licensed. No changes would 

occur to the interconnection 

transmission route.

filing may be viewed on the

Abstract: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) awards 

billions of dollars in funding for grants 

and other assistance agreements, with

organizations to large state governments. 

With this Information Collection 

Request (ICR), EPA seeks authorization 

to collect information to track progress 

by the Agency’s assistance programs. 

Collection of this information from 

award recipients enables EPA to assess 

and manage its assistance programs, 

which in turn ensures responsible 

stewardship of public funds; rigorous 

evidence-based learning and 

improvement; and transparent 

accountability to the American public. 

The information requested under this 

ICR will be collected via performance 

report forms, including work plans, 

interim reports, and final reports. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Recipients of financial assistance 

awards from EPA. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond:

reporting requirements included in EPA 

regulations 2 CFR parts 200 and 1500.

3,145 (per year). 

Frequency of response: Varies. 

Total estimated burden: 84,048 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $6,820,967 (per 

year), there are no annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: This is a 

new collection, and so does not involve 

any program changes or burden 

adjustments.

Abstract: The Environmental 

Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of 

Mission Support provides funding via 

grants to EPA’s Exchange Network 

partners (states, territories, and federally 

recognized Indian tribes) to support the 

development of the Exchange Network 

(EN). The EN facilitates the sharing of 

environmental data, especially through 

shared and reusable services; 

streamlines data collection and 

exchanges to improve timeliness for 

decision making; increases the quality 

and access to environmental data; 

reduces burden and costs for coregulators and the regulated community; 

supports better decisions on 

environmental and health issues; and 

increases capacity for environmental 

data management for tribes and US 

territories. As part of the terms and 

conditions of the EN grant program, 

recipients are required to submit the 

following forms: (i) Semi-Annual
