civil penalties for violations of the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (‘‘PSD’’) and Title V provisions of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7470–92 and 42 U.S.C. 7661a–76661f, and related state and federal implementing regulations. The complaint alleges that Defendants failed to obtain appropriate permits and failed to install and operate required pollution control devices to reduce emissions of various air pollutants at the Kincaid Power Station, a coal-fired power plant in Kincaid, Illinois.

The proposed consent decree would resolve past Clean Air Act violations and would require Defendants to reduce harmful emissions of sulfur dioxide (‘‘SO 2 ’’), nitrogen oxides (‘‘NO X’’), and particular matter (‘‘PM’’) at the Kincaid Power Station, as well as the Brayton Point Power Station, a coal-fired power plant located in Somerset, Massachusetts. The reductions would be achieved through emission control requirements and limitations specified by the proposed consent decree, including installation and operation of pollution controls and annual emission caps. In addition, the proposed consent makes permanent the retirement of the State Line Power Station, a recently shut down coal-fired power plant in Hammond, Indiana. Defendants will also spend $9.75 million to fund environmental mitigation projects that will further reduce emissions and benefit communities adversely affected by pollution from its plants, and pay a civil penalty of $3.4 million. Defendants recently announced their intention to sell the Kincaid and Brayton Point Power Stations to a subsidiary of Energy Capital Partners, a subsidiary of which, Equipower Resources, also owns and operates several power plants in the Northeast. The proposed consent decree provides a process for any such new owner to be substituted as a party to the consent decree.

The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on the proposed consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and should refer to United States v. Dominion Energy Inc., Dominion Energy Brayton Point LLC, and Kincaid Generation LLC, Civ. No. 13–cv–3086 (C.D. Ill.), D.J. Ref. No. 90–5–2–1–09860.

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This program helps to ensure that requested data can be provided in the desired format, reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of collection requirements on respondents can be properly assessed. Currently, the Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) of the Department of Labor (Department) is soliciting comments concerning the proposed extension of the collection of information requirements of Labor Organization and Auxiliary Reports. A copy of the proposed information collection request can be obtained by contacting the office listed below in the addresses section of this Notice.

**DATES :**  Written comments must be submitted to the office listed in the addresses section below on or before June 7, 2013.

**ADDRESSES :**  Andrew R.

Please use only one method of transmission (mail or Email) to submit comments or to request a copy of this information collection and its supporting documentation; including a description of the likely respondents, proposed frequency of response, and estimated total burden.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  I. Background

Congress enacted the LaborManagement Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959, as amended (LMRDA), to provide for the disclosure of information on the financial transactions and administrative practices of labor organizations. The statute also provides, under certain circumstances, for reporting by labor organization officers and employees, employers, labor relations consultants, and surety companies. Section 208 of the LMRDA authorizes the Secretary to issue rules and regulations prescribing the form of the required reports. The reporting provisions were devised to implement a basic tenet of the LMRDA: the guarantee of democratic procedures and safeguards within labor organizations that are designed to protect the basic rights of union members. Section 205 of the LMRDA provides that the reports are public information.

II. Review Focus

The Department is particularly interested in comments which:

* Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;

* Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

* Enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and

* Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submissions of responses.

III. Current Actions

The Department seeks extension of the current approval to collect this information. An extension is necessary because the LMRDA explicitly requires the reporting and establishes the frequency of the required filings. The information collected by OLMS is used by union members to help self-govern their unions, by workers making decisions regarding their collective bargaining rights, by the general public, and as research material for both outside researchers and within the Department. The information is also used to assist the Department and other government agencies in detecting improper practices on the part of labor organizations, their officers and/or representatives, and is used by Congress in oversight and legislative functions.

The total burden for the Labor Organization and Auxiliary Reports information collection is summarized as follows:

Type of Review: Extension. Agency: DOL–OLMS. Title of Collection: Labor Organization and Auxiliary Reports.

OMB Control Number: 1245–0003. Affected Public: Private Sector— businesses or other for-profits, farms, not-for-profit institutions, and individuals or households.

Total Estimated Number of Responses: 31,499.

Total Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 4,582,111.

Total Estimated Annual Other Costs Burden: $0.

Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and/or included in the request for the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval of the information collection request; they will also become a matter of public record. The Department notes that it has a pending rulemaking concerning two of the reports included in the Labor Organization and Auxiliary Reports information collection: the Form LM–10 Employer Report and the Form LM–20 Agreement and Activities Report filed by labor relations consultants. See 76 FR 37292. The Department received comments on those estimates during the rulemaking, and it will respond to such comments in any final rule issued, as well as in any separate request for amendment to the information collection submitted to OMB in the context of that rulemaking.

Dated: April 2, 2013. Andrew R. Davis, Chief of the Division of Interpretations and Standards, Office of Labor-Management Standards, U.S. Department of Labor.
