2022. A protest may also serve as a 

motion to intervene so long as the 

protestor states it also seeks to be an 

intervenor. 

Interventions 

Any person has the option to file a 

motion to intervene in this proceeding. 

Only intervenors have the right to 

request rehearing of Commission orders 

issued in this proceeding and to 

subsequently challenge the 

Commission’s orders in the U.S. Circuit 

Courts of Appeal. 

To intervene, you must submit a 

motion to intervene to the Commission 

in accordance with Rule 214 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure 5 and the regulations under 

the NGA 6 by the intervention deadline 

for the project, which is April 8, 2022. 

As described further in Rule 214, your 

motion to intervene must state, to the 

extent known, your position regarding 

the proceeding, as well as your interest 

in the proceeding. For an individual, 

this could include your status as a 

landowner, ratepayer, resident of an 

impacted community, or recreationist. 

You do not need to have property 

directly impacted by the project in order 

to intervene. For more information 

about motions to intervene, refer to the 

FERC website at https://www.ferc.gov/ 

resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp. 

All timely, unopposed motions to 

intervene are automatically granted by 

operation of Rule 214(c)(1). Motions to 

intervene that are filed after the 

intervention deadline are untimely and 

may be denied. Any late-filed motion to 

intervene must show good cause for 

being late and must explain why the 

time limitation should be waived and 

provide justification by reference to 

factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the 

Commission’s Rules and Regulations. A 

person obtaining party status will be 

placed on the service list maintained by 

the Secretary of the Commission and 

will receive copies (paper or electronic) 

of all documents filed by the applicant 

and by all other parties.

the project may do so. The Commission 

considers all comments received about 

the project in determining the 

appropriate action to be taken. To

not serve to make the filer a party to the 

proceeding. To become a party, you

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 15247–000] 

PacifiCorp; Notice of Preliminary 

Permit Application Accepted for Filing 

and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

On October 13, 2021, PacifiCorp filed 

an application for a preliminary permit, 

pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal 

Power Act, proposing to study the 

feasibility of the South Fork Pumped 

Storage Project (South Fork Project or 

project) to be located near Lake Viva 

Naughton, Lincoln County, Wyoming. 

The sole purpose of a preliminary 

permit, if issued, is to grant the permit 

holder priority to file a license 

application during the permit term. A 

preliminary permit does not authorize 

the permit holder to perform any landdisturbing activities or otherwise enter 

upon lands or waters owned by others 

without the owners’ express permission. 

Two alternatives are being considered 

for the South Fork Project. Alternative 1 

would consist of the following: (1) An 

upper reservoir approximately 3.5 miles 

east of Lake Viva Naughton with a 

surface area of 210 acres and a storage 

volume of approximately 3,348 acre-feet 

created by a 1,870-foot-long, 340-foothigh embankment dam; (2) a new 

intake/outlet on Lake Viva Naughton, 

which will serve as the lower reservoir; 

(3) a 4.2-mile-long steel penstock with a 

diameter of 23-feet connecting the upper 

reservoir with the powerhouse/pump 

station; (4) a 50-foot-long, 150-foot-wide 

concrete powerhouse/pump station 

located on the eastern shoreline of Lake 

Viva Naughton containing three 167- 

megawatt generating/pumping units; (5) 

a 4.4-mile, 345-kilovolt transmission 

line and new substation interconnecting 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
8012 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 29 / Friday, February 11, 2022 / Notices 

to PacifiCorp’s Jim Bridger-Populus #2 

transmission line; and (6) appurtenant 

facilities. 

Alternative 2 would consist of the 

same facilities described in alternative 1 

except: (1) The upper reservoir would 

have a surface area of 85 acres and a 

storage volume of approximately 3,604 

acre-feet created by a 1,035-foot-long, 

310-foot-high embankment dam; (2) the 

upper reservoir would connect to the 

powerhouse/pump station by a 3.8-milelong, 23-foot-diameter steel penstock; 

(3) the transmission line would be 2.2 

miles in length connecting to a new 

substation at same transmission line. 

The estimated annual generation of 

the South Fork Project would be 1,460 

gigawatt-hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media 

Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) 

was published in the Federal Register 

(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of 

title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR 

establishes electronic reporting as an 

acceptable regulatory alternative to 

paper reporting and establishes 

requirements to assure that electronic 

documents are as legally dependable as 

their paper counterparts. Subpart D of 

CROMERR requires that state, tribal or 

local government agencies that receive, 

or wish to begin receiving, electronic 

reports under their EPA-authorized 

programs must apply to EPA for a 

revision or modification of those 

programs and obtain EPA approval. 

Subpart D provides standards for such 

approvals based on consideration of the 

electronic document receiving systems 

that the state, tribe, or local government 

will use to implement the electronic 

reporting. Additionally, § 3.1000(b) 

through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D 

provides special procedures for program 

revisions and modifications to allow 

electronic reporting, to be used at the 

option of the state, tribe or local 

government in place of procedures 

available under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An 

application submitted under the subpart 

D procedures must show that the state, 

tribe or local government has sufficient 

legal authority to implement the 

electronic reporting components of the 

programs covered by the application 

and will use electronic document 

receiving systems that meet the 

applicable subpart D requirements. 

On December 7, 2021, the Maine 

Department of Health and Human 

Services—Drinking Water Program (ME 

DHHS–DWP) submitted an application 

titled Compliance Monitoring Data 

Portal (CMDP) for revisions/ 

modifications to its EPA-approved 

programs under title 40 CFR to allow 

new electronic reporting. EPA reviewed 

ME DHHS–DWP’s request to revise/ 

modify its EPA-authorized programs 

and, based on this review, EPA 

determined that the application met the 

standards for approval of authorized 

program revisions/modifications set out 

in 40 CFR part 3, subpart D. In 

accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(d), this 

notice of EPA’s decision to approve ME 

DHHS–DWP’s request to revise/modify 

its following EPA-authorized programs 

to allow electronic reporting under 40 

CFR is being published in the Federal 

Register: 

Part 142: National Primary Drinking 

Water Regulations Implementation 

(NPDWR) reporting under CFR 141 

ME DHHS–DWP was notified of 

EPA’s determination to approve its 

application with respect to the 

authorized programs listed above. Also, 

in this notice, EPA is informing 

interested persons that they may request 

a public hearing on EPA’s action to 

approve the State of Maine’s request to 

revise its authorized public water 

system program under 40 CFR part 142, 

in accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(f). 

Requests for a hearing must be 

submitted to EPA within 30 days of 

publication of this Federal Register 

notice. Such requests should include 

the following information: 

(1) The name, address, and telephone 

number of the individual, organization 

or other entity requesting a hearing; 

(2) A brief statement of the requesting 

person’s interest in EPA’s 

determination, a brief explanation as to 

why EPA should hold a hearing, and
