submitted for filing an application for

Commission recertification as a

qualifying cogeneration facility

pursuant to Section 292.207(b) of the

Commission’s Regulations. No

determination has been made that the

submittal constitutes a complete filing.

According to the applicant, the 218

MW, coal-fired topping-cycle

cogeneration facility is located in Logan

Township, Gloucester County, New

Jersey. Steam recovered from the facility

is used in the production of various

chemical products by Solutia. Power

from the facility is sold to Atlantic City

Electric Company and PG&E Energy

Trading-Power, L.P. The facility was

certified as a QF in Docket No. QF87–

617–000 [41 FERC ¶ 62,222 (1987)], and

recertified in Docket No. QF87–617–001

[58 FERC ¶ 62,235 (1992)]. Logan filed

a notice of self-recertification in Docket

Nos. QF87–617–002, QF87–617–003,

and QF87–617–004. According to the

applicant, the instant recertification is

requested in contemplation of changes

in the ownership of the facility. It also

involves changes in the operating and

efficiency standard calculations, based

on actual operating experience.

[FR–6012–9 ]

Notice of Peer Consultation Workshop

on Selenium Aquatic Toxicity and

Bioaccumulation

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.

SUMMARY: This document announces a

Peer Consultation Workshop on

Selenium Aquatic Toxicity and

Bioaccumulation which is being

sponsored by the U.S. EPA, Office of

Water, Office of Science and

Technology. This peer consultation

workshop is being conducted to assess

the state of the science underlying

various technical issues related to EPA’s

review and revision of its freshwater,

chronic aquatic life criterion for

selenium. During the workshop, a panel

of independent scientific experts

external to the Agency will be

responding to a technical charge

developed by the Agency for addressing

the various technical issues. The

product of this workshop will be a

report that will contain a summary of

workshop discussions, the responses of

the experts to the technical charge, and

their supporting justification. EPA

intends to consider the experts’

responses to the technical charge during

its forthcoming review and revision of

the freshwater chronic aquatic life

criterion for selenium.

DATES: This workshop will be held on

Wednesday, May 27, 1998 through

Thursday, May 28, 1998. It will begin at

9:00 a.m. on Wednesday and will

conclude on Thursday at 3:30 p.m.

(approximate time).

ADDRESSES: The Peer Consultation

Workshop on Selenium Aquatic

Toxicity and Bioaccumulation will be

held at the Radisson Barcelo Hotel,

Washington, DC, at 2121 P Street, NW,

Washington, DC, Telephone: 202–293–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

purpose of the Peer Consultation

Workshop on Selenium Aquatic

Toxicity and Bioaccumulation is to

review and discuss the scientific

database regarding several technical

issues confronting EPA’s review of its

freshwater chronic aquatic life criterion

for selenium. Some of these technical

issues include whether or not reliable

residue-based toxicological effect levels

can be established in aquatic organisms,

identifying which forms of selenium are

most toxicologically-relevant in tissues

and other media, and quantifying the

effect that various environmental factors

might have on the extent and rates of

selenium bioaccumulation in aquatic

life. The invited experts will have

expertise in areas including selenium

biogeochemistry, aquatic toxicology,

pharmacology, bioaccumulation,

environmental and analytical chemistry,

modeling, and ecotoxicology in aquatic

ecosystems. In responding to the

technical charge, these experts will

consider the available scientific

literature on selenium effects and

bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms

in the context of setting toxicological

effect levels of selenium on aquatic life

in freshwater ecosystems. The product

of this workshop will be a technical

report that contains the experts’

responses to the technical charge, clear

statements of the supporting rationale

for conclusions made, and an

assessment of the level of confidence (or

conversely, the degree of uncertainty)

associated with each response. EPA

intends to consider the experts’

responses to the technical charge in its

subsequent review and revision of the

freshwater, chronic aquatic life criterion

for selenium.

Workshop on Selenium Aquatic

Toxicity and Bioaccumulation as an
