Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 19 / Friday, January 29, 2010 / Notices 4809 

Please estimate the amount of time and 

resources that would be necessary for 

market participants that are excluded 

from the Commission’s section 205 

jurisdiction to comply with the 

Commission’s EQR filing requirements 

and provide explanation and support for 

any estimate. 

15. In addition, as described above in 

section I.C., the Commission is 

evaluating whether refinements are 

needed to improve the effectiveness and 

analytical potential of the existing EQR 

filing requirements. Accordingly, the 

Commission requests comments on the 

following additional questions: 

(7) Should the EQR filing 

requirements include the date on which 

parties to a reported transaction agreed 

upon a price (trade date) and type of 

rate by which the price was set (i.e., 

fixed price, a formula, or an index)? If 

so, how should the trade date be defined 

and are there any issues in determining 

the trade date for sales under master 

agreement or evergreen contracts? 

(8) Should the Commission collect 

information about the resale of financial 

transmission rights in secondary 

markets? Would collecting this 

information enhance market 

transparency? If so, what current EQR 

filing requirements should be imposed 

on resales of financial transmission 

rights in secondary markets? Include 

data elements from the Commission’s 

EQR Data Dictionary, version 1.1 (issued 

October 28, 2008) and explain how the 

information with respect to these 

specific data elements would improve 

market transparency. In addition, 

identify all other filing requirements 

that may be applicable to resales of 

financial transmission rights in 

secondary markets that are not current 

EQR filing requirements and explain 

whether and, if so, how collection of the 

information would improve market 

transparency. 

(9) Should the Commission require 

market participants to use a 

standardized unit for reporting energy 

and capacity transactions (i.e., $/MWh 

or $/MWmonth for energy and $/MW or 

$/KW for capacity)? Would requiring 

market participants to use a 

standardized unit enhance market 

transparency? 

(10) Should the Commission 

eliminate the requirement to report the 

time zone in the contract section of the 

EQR? Would doing so be detrimental to 

the market as a whole?

Title: Tips and Complaints Regarding 

Environmental Violations. 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 2219.03, 

OMB Control No. 2009–0032. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on 2/28/2010. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 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 in title 40 of the CFR, after 

appearing in the Federal Register when 

approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, 

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 in certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: EPA tips and complaints 

web form is intended to provide an easy 

and convenient means by which 

members of the public can supply 

information to EPA regarding suspected 

violations of environmental law. The 

decision to provide a tip or complaint 

is entirely voluntary and use of the web 

form when supplying a tip or complaint is also entirely voluntary. Tippers 

need not supply contact information or 

other personal identifiers. Those who do 

supply such information, however, 

should know that this information may 

be shared by EPA with appropriate 

administrative, law enforcement, and 

judicial entities engaged in investigating 

or adjudicating the tip or complaint. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average one-half hour per 

response. 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 which have subsequently 

changed; 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: 

Anyone wishing to file a tip or 

complaint. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 7,560. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

3,780. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$75,146. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 1980 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with that identified in the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. This increase reflects 

the fact that tips and complaints are 

being filed at a higher rate than 

originally anticipated, a strong 

indication of the success of this 

program. There has been no change in 

the information being reported or the 

estimated burden per respondent. 

Dated: January 21, 2010.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.

Environmental Impact Statements and 

Regulations; Availability of EPA 

Comments 

Availability of EPA comments 

prepared pursuant to the Environmental 

Review Process (ERP), under section 

309 of the Clean Air Act and Section 

102(2)(c) of the National Environmental 

Policy Act as amended. Requests for 

copies of EPA comments can be directed 

to the Office of Federal Activities at 

202–564–7146 or http://www.epa.gov/ 

compliance/nepa/. 

An explanation of the ratings assigned 

to draft environmental impact 

statements (EISs) was published in FR 

dated July 17, 2009 (74 FR 34754). 

Notice 

In accordance with Section 309(a) of 

the Clean Air Act, EPA is required to 

make its comments on EISs issued by 

other Federal agencies public. 

Historically, EPA has met this mandate 

by publishing weekly notices of 

availability of EPA comments, which 

includes a brief summary of EPA’s 

comment letters, in the Federal 

Register. Since February 2008, EPA has 

been including its comment letters on 

EISs on its Web site at: http:// 

www.epa.gov/compliance/nepa/ 

eisdata.html. 

Including the entire EIS comment 

letters on the Web site satisfies the 

Section 309(a) requirement to make 

EPA’s comments on EISs available to 

the public. Accordingly, after March 31, 

2010, EPA will discontinue the 

publication of this notice of availability 

of EPA comments in the Federal 

Register.

Summary: EPA expressed 

environmental concern about air quality 

impacts. EPA recommended additional 

mitigation for PM10 impacts, dispersion 

modeling and possible additional 

mitigation for MSAT impacts. Rating
