DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 15261–000] 

Nevada Hydro, Inc.; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

On February 8, 2022, Nevada Hydro 

Company, Inc. filed an application for a 

preliminary permit, pursuant to section 

4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 

proposing to study the feasibility of the 

Lake Elsinore Advanced Pumped 

Storage Project to be located on Lake 

Elsinore and San Juan Creek near the 

city of Lake Elsinore in Riverside and 

San Diego Counties, California. The 

project would occupy about 845 acres of 

federal land administered by the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture, Forest 

Service. 

The sole purpose of a preliminary 

permit, if issued, is to grant the permit 

holder priority to file a license 

application during the permit term. A 

preliminary permit does not authorize 

the permit holder to perform any landdisturbing activities or otherwise enter 

upon lands or waters owned by others 

without the owners’ express permission. 

The proposed project would consist 

of: (1) A new upper reservoir (Decker 

Canyon) with a gross storage volume of 

5,750 acre-feet and a surface area of 

approximately 70 acres at a normal 

reservoir surface elevation of 2,790 feet 

above mean sea level (msl); (2) a 262- 

foot-high main dam located on the 

southwest side of the upper reservoir; 

(3) a water conduit system consisting of 

a 1,248-foot-long, 25-foot-diameter 

concrete-lined power shaft and a 8,247- 

foot-long, 15-foot-diameter power 

tunnel transitioning to two, 250-footlong, 12-foot-diameter steel penstocks; 

(4) an underground powerhouse with 

two, reversible Francis-type pumpturbine units with a total installed 

capacity of 500 megawatts; (5) the 

existing Lake Elsinore, to be used as a 

lower reservoir, with a surface area of 

about 3,412 acres at a normal reservoir 

surface elevation of 1,249 feet above 

msl; (6) two 2,450-foot-long, 25-footwide, and 25-foot-high concrete-lined 

tailrace tunnels; (7) about 32 miles of 

500-kilovolt transmission line 

connecting the project to an existing 

transmission line owned by Southern 

California Edison that is located north of 

the proposed project and to an existing 

San Diego Gas and Electric Company 

transmission line located to the south; 

and (8) appurtenant facilities. The 

estimated annual generation of the 

project would be 1,560 gigawatt-hours.

Supplement to the 2019 Integrated 

Science Assessment for Particulate 

Matter 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is announcing the 

availability of a final document titled, 

‘‘Supplement to the 2019 Integrated 

Science Assessment for Particulate 

Matter (Final)’’ ([EPA/600/R–22/028]). 

The document was prepared by the 

Center for Public Health and 

Environmental Assessment (CPHEA) 

within EPA’s Office of Research and 

Development (ORD) as part of the 

reconsideration of the EPA’s 2020 final 

action reviewing the National Ambient 

Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for 

particulate matter (PM). The 

Supplement represents a targeted 

review of peer-reviewed studies 

published since the literature cutoff date 

(i.e., ∼January 2018) of the 2019 

Integrated Science Assessment for 

Particulate Matter (PM ISA). The 

Supplement and the 2019 p.m. ISA 

provide the scientific basis for EPA’s 

decisions, in conjunction with 

additional technical and policy 

assessments, for the reconsideration of 

the EPA’s 2020 review of the NAAQS 

and the appropriateness of possible 

alternative standards. 

DATES: The document will be available 

on or about May 13, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Information About the Document 

Section 108(a) of the Clean Air Act 

directs the Administrator to identify 

certain air pollutants which, among 

other things, ‘‘cause or contribute to air 

pollution which may reasonably be 

anticipated to endanger public health or 

welfare’’; and to issue air quality criteria 

for them. The air quality criteria are to 

‘‘accurately reflect the latest scientific 

knowledge useful in indicating the kind 

and extent of all identifiable effects on 

public health or welfare which may be 

expected from the presence of [a] 

pollutant in the ambient air . . . .’’. 

Under section 109 of the Act, EPA is 

then to establish NAAQS for each 

pollutant for which EPA has issued 

criteria. Section 109(d)(1) of the Act 

subsequently requires periodic review 

and, if appropriate, revision of existing 

air quality criteria to reflect advances in 

scientific knowledge on the effects of 

the pollutant on public health or 

welfare. EPA is also required to review 

and, if appropriate, revise the NAAQS, 

based on the revised air quality criteria 

(for more information on the NAAQS 

review process, see https://

www.epa.gov/naaqs). 

EPA has established NAAQS for six 

criteria pollutants. In conducting 

periodic reviews of the air quality 

criteria and NAAQS, EPA reviews the 

scientific basis for these standards by 

preparing an Integrated Science 

Assessment (ISA; formerly called an Air 

Quality Criteria Document). The ISA 

provides the scientific basis for EPA’s 

decisions, in conjunction with 

additional technical and policy 

assessments, on the adequacy of the 

current NAAQS and the appropriateness 

of possible alternative standards. The 

Clean Air Scientific Advisory 

Committee (CASAC), an independent 

science advisory committee whose 

review and advisory functions are 

mandated by Section 109(d)(2) of the 

Clean Air Act, is charged (among other 

things) with independent scientific 

review of the EPA’s air quality criteria. 

On June 10, 2021, the EPA announced 

its decision to reconsider the 2020 p.m. 

NAAQS final action, available at: 

https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/epareexamine-health-standards-harmfulsoot-previous-administration-leftunchanged. The EPA also announced 

that, as a part of the reconsideration, a 

supplement to the Integrated Science 

Assessment (ISA) for Particulate Matter 

(PM), which was finalized in December 

2019, would be developed. The 

‘‘Supplement to the 2019 Integrated 

Science Assessment for Particulate 

Matter (External Review Draft)’’ was 

released for public comment and review 

by the CASAC on September 30, 2021 

(https://cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/isa/ 

recordisplay.cfm?deid=352823). 

The CASAC PM panel met at a virtual 

public meeting on November 17–19, 

2021, to review the draft Supplement to 

the 2019 p.m. ISA (86 FR 52673, 

September 22, 2021). A virtual public 

meeting was then held on February 25, 

2022–March 4, 2022, and during this 

meeting on February 28, 2022, the 

chartered CASAC considered the 

CASAC PM Panel’s draft letter to the 

Administrator on the draft Supplement 

to the 2019 p.m. ISA. This meeting was 

announced in the Federal Register on 

January 7, 2022 (87 FR 958). 

Subsequently, on March 18, 2022, the 

chartered CASAC provided a consensus 

letter of their review to the 

Administrator of the EPA (https://casac.

epa.gov/ords/sab/f?p=113:0:

9895873668768:APPLICATION_

PROCESS=REPORT_DOC:::REPORT_

ID:1093). The EPA has considered 

comments by the chartered CASAC and 

by the public in preparing this final 

Supplement to the 2019 p.m. ISA.
