2On November 16, 2011, DOE’s Acting General 

Counsel restated the delegations to Western’s 

Administrator of all the authorities of the General 

Counsel respecting Environmental Impact 

Statements. 

National Historic Preservation Act 

Final cultural resource reports and 

effects determination were sent to the 

Nebraska State Historical Preservation 

Officer (SHPO) and were subsequently 

approved. A Memorandum of 

Agreement addressing effects to 

properties on or eligible for listing on 

the National Register of Historic Places 

for the preservation of eligible 

properties was signed by Grand Prairie 

Wind, the SHPO, and Western on March 

25, 2015, in compliance with the 

National Historic Preservation Act. 

Comments on the Final EIS 

One comment was received by the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA). In their February 17, 2015, letter, 

EPA recommended additional 

alternatives be considered in Western’s 

future NEPA documents. 

Decision 

Western’s decision is to execute an 

interconnection agreement with Grande 

Prairie Wind to interconnect their 

proposed Project to Western’s 

transmission system and to construct, 

own, and operate a new switchyard 

adjacent to its Fort Thompson to Grand 

Island 345-kV transmission line to 

accommodate that interconnection.2

Western’s decision to grant this 

interconnection request satisfies the 

agency’s statutory mission and Grande 

Prairie Wind’s objectives while 

minimizing harm to the environment. 

Full implementation of this decision is 

contingent upon Grande Prairie Wind’s 

obtaining all other applicable permits 

and approvals as well as executing an 

interconnection agreement in 

accordance with Western’s Tariff. This 

decision is based on the information 

contained in the Interconnection of the 

Grande Prairie Wind Farm Final EIS. 

This ROD was prepared pursuant to the 

requirements of the Council on 

Environmental Quality Regulations for 

Implementing the Procedural Provisions 

of the NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500–1508) 

and DOE’s NEPA Implementing 

Procedures (10 CFR part 1021). 

Dated: April 20, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Docket: Supporting documents, 

including the ICR that explains in detail 

the information collection activities and 

the related burden and cost estimates 

that are summarized in this document, 

are available in the docket for this ICR. 

The docket can be viewed online at 

http://www.regulations.gov or in person 

at the EPA Docket Center, West William 

Jefferson Clinton Bldg., Rm. 3334, 1301 

Constitution Ave. NW., Washington,

Docket Center is (202) 566–1744. For 

additional information about EPA’s 

public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/ 

dockets. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on April 30, 2015. 

Under OMB regulations, the Agency 

may continue to conduct or sponsor the 

collection of information while this 

submission is pending at OMB. 

Under PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., 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 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 for 

certain EPA regulations is consolidated 

in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: Section 1018 of the 

Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard 

Reduction Act (42 U.S.C. 4852d) 

requires that sellers and lessors of most 

residential housing built before 1978 

disclose known information on the 

presence of lead based paint and lead 

based paint hazards, and provide an 

EPA approved pamphlet to purchasers 

and renters before selling or leasing the 

housing. Sellers of pre-1978 housing are 

also required to provide prospective 

purchasers with ten days to conduct an 

inspection or risk assessment for lead 

based paint hazards before obligating 

purchasers under contracts to purchase 

the property. The rule does not apply to 

rental housing that has been found to be 

free of lead-based paint, zero-bedroom 

dwellings, housing for the elderly, 

housing for the handicapped, or short 

term leases. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are mandatory (see 40 CFR 

part 745, subpart F, and 24 CFR part 35, 

subpart H). Respondents may claim all 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 81 / Tuesday, April 28, 2015 / Notices 23541 

or part of a response confidential. EPA 

will disclose information that is covered 

by a claim of confidentiality only to the 

extent permitted by, and in accordance 

with, the procedures in TSCA section 14 

and 40 CFR part 2. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Persons engaged in selling or leasing 

certain residential dwellings built before 

1978, or who are real estate agents 

representing such parties. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

39,645,600. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 6,467,176 

hours per year. Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $125,683,576 

per year, includes $0 annualized capital 

or operation and maintenance costs. 

Changes in the estimates: There is a 

decrease of 470,154 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with that identified in the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. This decrease 

reflects a gradual reduction in the 

annual number of real estate sales 

involving target housing subject to the 

rule’s requirements and an overall 

decrease in real estate sales. There has 

also been a notable decrease in the 

overall growth of the real estate agent 

profession which reduces the number of 

new entrants who have start-up burden 

and cost related to this ICR activity. 

While the number of property rentals 

increased over the past year, fewer 

parties are involved in those 

transactions so the increases in the 

rental market were not enough to offset 

the decrease in the sales market in terms 

of burden and cost related to this ICR.

will be collecting, are available in the 

public docket for this ICR. The docket

Abstract: This information collection 

involves third-party notification to 

owners and occupants of housing that 

will inform such individuals about the 

dangers of lead-contaminated dust and 

lead-based paint debris that are 

sometimes generated during renovations 

of housing where lead-based paint is 

present, thereby aiding them in avoiding 

potentially hazardous exposures and 

protecting public health. Since young 

children are especially susceptible to 

the hazards of lead, owners and 

occupants with children can take action 

to protect their children from lead 

poisonings. Section 406(b) of the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires 

EPA to promulgate regulations requiring 

certain persons who perform 

renovations for compensation on target 

housing to provide a lead hazard 

information pamphlet (developed under 

TSCA section 406(a)) to the owner and 

occupants of such housing prior to 

beginning the renovation. Further, the 

firm performing the renovation must 

keep records acknowledging receipt of 

the pamphlet on file for three years after 

completion of work. Those who fail to 

provide the pamphlet or keep records as 

required may be subject to both civil 

and criminal sanctions. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are mandatory (see 40 CFR 

part 745, subpart E). Respondents may 

claim all or part of a response 

confidential. EPA will disclose 

information that is covered by a claim 

of confidentiality only to the extent 

permitted by, and in accordance with, 

the procedures in TSCA section 14 and 

40 CFR part 2. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Certain 

persons performing renovations of target 

housing, constructed prior to 1978, for 

compensation. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

320,504 (total). 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 2,577,280 

hours per year. Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $140,498,539 

per year, includes $0 annualized capital 

or operation and maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the total estimated respondent
