scope of environmental issues that

should be analyzed in the EA. A public

meeting will be held at 6:30 PM on

Wednesday, July 29, 1998, at the Hollis

Public Library, in Hollis, Alaska. The

agency scoping meeting will be held at

1:30 PM on Thursday, July 30, 1998, at

the State Capitol Building, Governor’s

Conference Room, 3rd Floor, corner of

4th and Main Streets, Juneau, Alaska.

The public and the agencies may attend

either or both meetings, however.

Objectives

At the scoping meetings the staff will:

(1) identify preliminary environmental

issues related to the proposed project:

(2) identify preliminary resource issues

that are not important and do not

require detailed analysis; (3) identify

reasonable alternatives to be addressed

in the EA; (4) solicit from the meeting

participants all available information,

especially quantified data, on the

resource issues; and (5) encourage

statements from experts and the public

on issues that should be analyzed in the

EA, including points of view in

opposition to, or in support of, the

staff’s preliminary views.

Procedures

The scoping meetings will be

recorded by a court reporter, and all

statements will become part of the

Commission’s public record for the

project. Individuals, organizations, and

agencies with environmental expertise

and concerns are encouraged to attend

the meetings and assist the staff in

defining and clarifying and issues to be

addressed in the EA.

Persons choosing not to speak at the

meetings, but who have views on the

issues or information relevant to the

issues, may submit written statements

for inclusion in the public record at the

meetings. All written correspondence

should clearly show the following

caption on the first page: Wolf Lake

Hydroelectric Project, FERC Project No.

11508–001. Comments and information

are due to the Commission no later than

August 31, 1998.

Those with comments or information

pertaining to this project should file it

with the Commission at the following

address: David P. Boergers, Acting

Secretary, Office of the Secretary,

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC

20426.

Intervenors—those on the

Commission’s service list for this

proceeding (parties)—are reminded of

the Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure, requiring parties filing

documents with the Commission, to

serve a copy of the document on each

person whose name appears on the

official service list. Further, if a party or

interceder files comments or documents

with the Commission relating to the

merits of an issue that may affect the

responsibilities of a particular resource

agency, they must also serve a copy of

the document on that resource agency.

Site Visit

There will be a tour of the proposed

project site on Tuesday, July 28, 1998,

to familiarize concerned individuals

with the project. Because of the absence

of road access at the proposed project

site, transportation to the project site

would be via helicopter from a location

to be identified in Hollis. Those

interested in going on the site visit

should call the AP&T contact, Mr. Greg

Mickelson at (907) 826–3202 by July 21,

1998, for details. The trip is expected to

last several hours. In the event of

inclement weather or if we are unable

to get to the proposed site on the

scheduled date, the alternate site visit

would be on Wednesday, July 29, 1998,

at the same meeting place and time as

the preferred scheduled visit.

Any questions regarding this notice

maybe directed to Mr. Carl Keller at

FERC, (202) 219–2831.

David P. Boergers,

Acting Secetary.

Source Performance Standards for

Portland Cement Plants

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

that the following Information

Collection Request (ICR) has been

forwarded to the Office of Management

approval: New Source Performance

Standards for Portland Cement Plants,

OMB Control No. 2060–0025, expiration

date 8/31/98. The ICR describes the

nature of the information collection and

its expected burden and cost; where

appropriate, it includes the actual data

collection instrument.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before July 31, 1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: New Source Performance

Standards for Portland Cement Plants,

OMB Control No. 2060–0025; EPA ICR

No. 1051.07; expiring 8/31/98. This is a

request for the extension of a currently

approved collection.

Abstract: Entities potentially affected

by this action are portland cement

plants with the following facilities:

kilns, clinker coolers, raw mill systems,

raw mill dryers, raw material storage,

clinker storage, finished product

storage, conveyor transfer points,

bagging and bulk loading and unloading

systems. The Administrator has judged

that PM emissions from portland

cement plants cause or contribute to air

pollution that may reasonably be

anticipated to endanger public health or

welfare. Owners/operators of portland

cement plants must notify EPA of

construction, modification, startups,

shut downs, date and results of initial

performance test and excess emissions.

In order to ensure compliance with the

standards promulgated to protect public

health, adequate reporting and

recordkeeping is necessary. In the

absence of such information

enforcement personnel would be unable

to determine whether the standards are

being met on a continuous basis, as

required by the Clean Air Act. 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

part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15. The

Federal Register document required

under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting

comments on this collection of

information was published on 3/5/98.

No comments were received.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 279 hours per
