l. The Warren Project consists of: (1) 

a 15.3-foot-high, 527-foot-long, 

reinforced concrete dam; (2) a 105-acre 

impoundment with a storage capacity of 

900 acre-feet; (3) a 44-foot-wide 

headgate structure with four 4.5-foot by 

8-foot gates; (4) a 350-foot-long headrace 

canal; (5) an 82-foot-long, 30-foot-wide 

powerhouse containing 3 Francis 

turbine/generating units with a total 

installed capacity of 750 kW; (6) 360- 

foot-long, 2.4-kilovolt (kV) project 

generator lines; (7) a substation 

containing a 3-phase, 2.4/34.5-kV 

transformer where interconnection with 

the grid occurs; and (8) other 

appurtenances. The project creates an 

approximately 550-foot-long bypassed 

reach of the Shenandoah River. 

The project operates in run-of-river 

mode with a minimum flow of 56 cubic 

feet per second provided by a 1-inch 

veil flow over the dam into the bypassed 

reach. The project had an average 

annual generation of 3,456 megawatthours between 2013 and 2017.

which explain in detail the information 

that the EPA will be collecting, are 

available in the public docket for this 

ICR. The docket can be viewed online

dockets. 

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
85198 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 207 / Friday, October 25, 2024 / Notices 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (ii) 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; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate forms of 

information technology. EPA will 

consider the comments received and 

amend the ICR as appropriate. The final 

ICR package will then be submitted to 

OMB for review and approval. At that 

time, EPA will issue another Federal 

Register notice to announce the 

submission of the ICR to OMB and the 

opportunity to submit additional 

comments to OMB. 

Abstract: This ICR covers the 

collection of information from those 

organizations that receive cooperative 

agreements, contracts, and Targeted 

Brownfields Assessment (TBA) funds 

from EPA under the authority of the 

section 104(k) of the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act 

(CERCLA) as amended by the 

Brownfields Utilization, Investment, 

and Local Development (BUILD) Act 

(Pub. L. 115–141). CERCLA 104(k), as 

amended, authorizes EPA to award 

grants or cooperative agreements and 

contract funding to states, tribes, local 

governments, other eligible entities, and 

nonprofit organizations to support the 

assessment and cleanup of brownfields 

sites. Under section 101(39) of CERCLA, 

a brownfields site means real property, 

the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse 

of which may be complicated by the 

presence or potential presence of a 

hazardous substance, pollutant, or 

contaminant. Cooperative agreement 

recipients (‘‘recipients’’) have general 

reporting and record keeping 

requirements as a condition of their 

cooperative agreement that result in 

burden. A portion of this reporting and 

record keeping burden is authorized 

under 2 CFR part 1500 and identified in 

the EPA’s general grants ICR (OMB 

Control Number 2030–0020). EPA 

requires Brownfields program recipients 

to maintain and report additional 

information to EPA on the uses and 

accomplishments associated with 

funded brownfields activities. EPA has 

expanded programmatic reporting 

requirements to include TBA 

contractors and technical assistance 

contractors. EPA will use several forms 

to assist recipients and contractors in 

reporting the information and to ensure 

consistency of the information 

collected. EPA uses this information to 

meet Federal stewardship 

responsibilities to manage and track 

how program funds are being spent, to 

evaluate the performance of the 

Brownfields Cleanup and Land 

Revitalization Program, to meet the 

Agency’s reporting requirements under 

the Government Performance and 

Results Act, and to report to Congress 

and other program stakeholders on the 

status and accomplishments of the 

program. 

Form Numbers: EPA ICR No. 2104.10, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0192. 

Respondents/affected entities: State/ 

local/tribal governments; Non-Profits; 

Contractors. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Required to obtain or Retain Benefits (2 

CFR part 1500). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

2,697 (total). 

Frequency of response: Varies but 

generally bi-annual for subtitle CERCLA 

128 recipients and quarterly for 

CERCLA 104(k) recipients. 

Total estimated burden: 11,548 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $1,622,953 (per 

year), which includes $0 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 7,740 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. The increase in reporting hours 

and cost is due to the introduction of 

electronic quarterly and annual progress 

reporting forms in ACRES for six 

cooperative agreement types. Recipients 

have always been required to submit 

quarterly and annual progress reports 

per their cooperative agreement terms 

and conditions, but this is the first time 

an electronic form option is available in 

ACRES. Including these forms in 

ACRES enables several fields to be 

prefilled with existing ACRES data, 

saving the recipient significant time 

compared to completing progress 

reporting outside of ACRES. This 

reporting enhancement will enable a 

larger number of respondents to use 

forms under this ICR, resulting in an 

overall increase in the total burden 

hours. Yet the electronic forms are 

anticipated to result in an overall 

decrease in burden hours per individual 

respondent. With respect to ACRES 

forms previously submitted as part of 

this ICR, recipients interviewed during 

the last few years have self-reported 

data entry times at half the burden 

hours compared to previous estimates. 

This can be attributed to the tremendous 

improvements in the ACRES database to 

streamline reporting requirements over 

the past several years. The new 

quarterly and annual reporting forms 

continue such efforts and will help 

ensure recipients comply with their 

cooperative agreement terms and 

conditions.
