BILLING CODE 6717–01–P

Southeastern Power Administration

Intent To Formulate Power Marketing

Policy Jim Woodruff Project

AGENCY: Southeastern Power

Administration, DOE.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to its Procedure for

Public Participation in the Formulation

of Marketing Policy published in the

Federal Register of July 6, 1978,

Southeastern intends to formulate a

marketing policy for future disposition

of power from its Jim Woodruff Project.

Southeastern has not established a

written marketing policy for the Jim

Woodruff Project. Southeastern has

negotiated contracts for the sale of

project power, which are maintained in

the headquarter offices of Southeastern.

Proposals and recommendations for

consideration in formulating a proposed

marketing policy are solicited, as are

requests for further information or

consultation.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Comments must be

submitted on or before May 12, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Five copies of written

proposals or recommendations should

be submitted to the Administrator,

Southeastern Power Administration,

Elberton, Georgia 30635, (706) 213–

3800.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Charles A. Borchardt, Administrator,

Southeastern Power Administration,
11432 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 48 / Wednesday, March 12, 1997 / Notices

Elberton, Georgia 30635, (706) 213–

3800.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Jim

Woodruff Project, with 36,000 kilowatts

of installed capacity, is on the

Apalachicola River two tenths of a mile

below the confluence of the

Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers and

approximately on the Georgia-Florida

border. The project is a run-of-the-river

project subject to reduced generation

during periods of high or low

streamflow conditions. Southeastern

executed a contract with Florida Power

Corporation (Florida Power) on July 19,

1957 that provided for, among other

things, transmission of project power to

the preference customers, support

capacity and energy necessary to insure

the dependability of the project

capacity, and project integration.

Capacity and energy from the project are

sold to two municipal and four electric

cooperative preference customers in the

panhandle of Florida. Excess energy is

sold to Florida Power. The proposed

policy establishes the marketing area for

project power and deals with the

allocation of power among or for the

benefit of area customers. The proposed

policy will also deal with utilization of

area utility systems for essential

purposes, wholesale rates, resale rates,

and energy and economic efficiency

measures.

Under Section 5 of the Flood Control

Act of 1944 (16 U.S.C. 825s),

Southeastern is responsible for the

transmission and disposition of electric

power and energy from reservoir

projects operated by the Department of

Army. Southeastern has negotiated a

contract with Florida Power under this

authority. To pay the transmission,

support capacity and firming, and

integration fees under this contract to

Florida Power Southeastern must obtain

an appropriation each year in a budget

approved by Congress and the

President. Because of budget

constraints, Southeastern has had

difficulty in obtaining these

appropriations. This difficulty has

compelled Southeastern to consider

selling the government power at the bus

bar of the project. Southeastern requests

comments on this change in its

marketing practices. Current practices

do not contemplate such a disposition

of the power from the project.

Issued in Elberton, Georgia, February 28,

1997.

Charles A. Borchardt,

Administrator.

Abstract: The Administrator may

Section 114(a) of CAA.

In order to ensure compliance with

the standards are being met on a

continuous basis, as required by the

Clean Air Act.

The information collected is used for

inspection purposes to determine if the

pollution control devices used by the

affected industries are properly installed

and operated and the standards are

being met. Performance test reports are

needed as these are the Agency’s

records of a source initial capability to

comply with the emission standard, and

note the operating conditions under

which compliance was achieved.

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 for EPA’s regulations are listed

in 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter

15. The Federal Register Notice

required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d),

soliciting comments on this collection

of information was published on August

30, 1996 (FR 45960). No comments were

received.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 18.70 hours.

Burden means the total time, effort, or

financial resources expended by persons

to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose

or provide information to or for a

Federal agency. This includes the time

needed to review instructions; develop,

acquire, install, and utilize technology

and systems for the purposes of

collecting, validating, and verifying

information, processing and

maintaining information, and disclosing

and providing information; adjust the

existing ways to comply with any

previously applicable instructions and

requirements; train personnel to be able

to respond to a collection of

information; search data sources;

complete and review the collection of

information; and transmit or otherwise

disclose the information.

Respondents/Affected Entities:

Owner/operators of Electric Arc

Furnaces & Argon-Oxygen

Decarbarization Vessels.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

65.

Frequency of Response: initial reports

and semiannual reports.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

34,082 hours.

Estimated Total Annualized Cost

Burden: $536,100.

Send comments on the Agency’s need

for this information, the accuracy of the

provided burden estimates, and any

suggested methods for minimizing

respondent burden, including through

the use of automated collection

techniques to the following addresses.

Please refer to EPA ICR No. 1060.08 and
