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 

(‘‘SO2’’), nitrogen oxides (‘‘NOX’’), 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

Energy Inc., Dominion Energy Brayton 

Point LLC, and Kincaid Generation LLC,

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Extension of Information Collection; 

Comment Request 

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. Davis, Chief of 

the Division of Interpretations and 

Standards, Office of Labor-Management

public@dol.gov, (202) 693–0123 (this is 

not a toll-free number), (800) 877–8339 

(TTY/TDD). 

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.
