Dam and would consist of: (1) A new

50-foot-long, 50-foot-wide, 20-foot-high

powerhouse containing one or two

generating units having a total installed

capacity of 5,000 kilowatts; (2) a short

transmission line; and (3) appurtenant

facilities.

l. The City of Broken Bow has

demonstrated that it has made an effort

that the use of alternative procedures is

appropriate in this case. The City of

Broken Bow has submitted a

communications protocol that is

supported by the stakeholders.

The purpose of this notice is to invite

any additional comments on the City of

Broken Bow’s request to use the

alternative procedures, pursuant to

Section 4.34(i) of the Commission’s

regulations. Additional notices seeking

comments on the specific project

proposal, interventions and protests,

and recommended terms and conditions

will be issued at a later date. the City

of Broken Bow will complete and file a

preliminary Environmental Assessment,

in lieu of Exhibit E of the license

traditional process, in which an

tribes, NGOs, and other parties during

preparation of the license application

and before filing the application, but the

Commission staff performs the

environmental review after the

application is filed. The alternative

procedures are intended to simplify and

expedite the licensing process by

combining the pre-filing consultation

and environmental review processes

into a single process, to facilitate greater

participation, and to improve

communication and cooperation among

the participants.

The City of Broken Bow has contacted

federal and state resources agencies,

NGOs, elected officials, environmental

groups, business and economic

development organizations, and

members of the public regarding the

Broken Bow Reregulating Dam Project.

The City of Broken Bow intends to file

6-month progress reports during the

alternative procedures process that

leads to the filing of a license

application.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AGENCY

[SW–FRL–6982–4]

Renewal of Case-by-Case Extension of

the Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR)

Effective Date for Hazardous Wastes

Generated by FMC/Astaris Idaho LLC

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of final decision.

SUMMARY: Today, EPA is approving the

request submitted by FMC/Astaris Idaho

LLC (referred to in this Notice as FMC/

Astaris) for a one-year Case-by-Case

(CBC) extension renewal of the May 26,

2001 effective date of the RCRA land

disposal restrictions (LDRs) applicable

to hazardous wastes generated at their

Pocatello, Idaho facility. This action

responds to the request submitted by

FMC/Astaris to renew their existing

CBC extension for one additional year.

FMC/Astaris requested a renewal of the

CBC extension due to the continued

lack of available treatment capacity for

five waste streams, and the need for

additional time to design, construct, and

begin operation of an on-site treatment

plant to treat the wastes. EPA concludes

that FMC/Astaris has adequately

demonstrated that the request should be

granted. By RCRA statute, this is the last

CBC extension that can be granted for

these wastes. As a result of today’s

action, FMC/Astaris can continue to

manage the five waste streams in their

on-site surface impoundments until

May 26, 2002 without these wastes

being subject to the LDRs.

DATES: This case-by-case extension

renewal becomes effective on May 26,

2001.

ADDRESSES: The official record for this

action is identified as Docket Number

F–2000–FM2F–FFFFF. Public

comments and supporting materials are

available for viewing in the RCRA

Information Center (RIC), located at

Crystal Gateway I, First Floor, 1235

Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA.

The RIC is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.,

Monday through Friday, excluding

federal holidays. To review docket
