Standards of Conduct for 

Transmission Providers; Extension of 

Non-Statutory Deadlines; Notice 

Granting Extension of Time To Comply 

With Posting and Other Requirements 

August 31, 2005. 

Hurricane Katrina has created 

emergency conditions in the Gulf Coast 

area of the United States. Section 

358.4(a)(2) of the Commission’s 

Standards of Conduct regulations allows 

transmission providers to ‘‘take 

whatever steps are necessary to keep the 

system[s] in operation’’ notwithstanding 

any of the other requirements. 18 CFR 

358.4(a)(2) (2005). Section 358.4(a)(2) 

also provides: ‘‘Transmission Providers 

must report to the Commission and post 

on the OASIS or Internet Web site, as 

applicable, each emergency that 

resulted in any deviation from the 

standards of conduct, within 24 hours of 

such deviation.’’ As a result of the 

emergency, the Commission will allow 

affected transmission providers to delay 

compliance with the section 358.4(a)(2) 

reporting requirement until September 

30, 2005. In addition, pursuant to 

section 385.2008 of the Commission’s 

Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 

385.2008 (2005), the Commission finds 

good cause to extend, until September 

30, 2005, non-statutory deadlines that 

occur before that date for participants in 

proceedings pending before the 

Commission who need such extensions 

on account of Hurricane Katrina.

Title: General Hazardous Waste 

Facility Standards. 

Abstract: Section 3004 of the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act (RCRA), as amended, requires that 

the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) develop standards for 

hazardous waste treatment, storage, and 

disposal facilities (TSDFs) as may be 

necessary to protect human health and 

the environment. Subsections 

3004(a)(1), (3), (4), (5), and (6) specify 

that these standards include, but not be 

limited to, the following requirements: 

Maintaining records of all hazardous 

wastes identified or listed under subtitle 

C that are treated, stored, or disposed of, 

and the manner in which such wastes 

were treated, stored, or disposed of; 

• Operating methods, techniques, and 

practices for treatment, storage, or 

disposal of hazardous waste; 

• Location, design, and construction 

of such hazardous waste treatment, 

disposal, or storage facilities; 

• Contingency plans for effective 

action to minimize unanticipated 

damage from any treatment, storage, or 

disposal of any such hazardous waste; 

and 

• Maintaining or operating such 

facilities and requiring such additional 

qualifications as to ownership, 

continuity of operation, training for 

personnel, and financial responsibility 

as may be necessary or desirable. 

• The regulations implementing these 

requirements are codified in the Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 40, parts 

264 and 265. The collection of this 

information enables EPA to properly 

determine whether owners/operators or 

hazardous waste treatment, storage, and 

disposal facilities meet the requirements 

of Section 3004(a) of RCRA. 

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 EPA’s regulations in 40 

CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9. 

The EPA would like to solicit 

comments to: 

(i) 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; 

(ii) 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; 

(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(iv) 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 submission of responses. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 319 hours per 

response. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Business or other for profit. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,675. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

719,059. 

Estimated Total Annualized Capital, 

Operating/ Maintenance Cost Burden: 

$760,000. 

Burden means the total time, effort, or 

financial resources expended by persons 

to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose 

or provide information to or for a 

Federal agency. This includes the time 

needed to review instructions; develop, 

acquire, install, and utilize technology 

and systems for the purposes of 

collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements; train personnel to be able 

to respond to a collection of 

information; search data sources; 

complete and review the collection of 

information; and transmit or otherwise 

disclose the information.

the Natural Resources Defense Council, 

the Sierra Club and Transportation 

Solutions Defense and Education Fund 

(collectively ‘‘Plaintiffs’’): 

Environmenatl Defense, et al. v. EPA, et 

al., No. 04–1291 (D.C. Cir.). On August 

30, 2004, Plaintiffs filed a complaint 

challenging EPA’s amendments to rules 

on determining conformity of federal 

transportation actions to State 

Implementation Plans (SIPs), issued 

under section 176(c) of the Act. 

Petitioners challenged several aspects of 

EPA’s recent amendments to the

P.M. 2.5 National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards. (69 FR 40,004, July 1, 2004).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Additional Information About the 

Proposed Settlement 

EPA has agreed to take final action on 

further amendments to the 

transportation conformity rules to 

address requirements relating to PM 2.5 

hotspots. EPA had indicated in the July 

2004 final rule that the agency believed 

transportation conformity provisions 

relating to PM 2.5 hotspot air quality 

analyses would be appropriate, but the 

agency was not in a position to 

promulgate final regulations on that 

issue at that time. EPA indicated that it 

intended to take subsequent action with 

respect to this issue. Therefore, EPA 

proposes to enter into a settlement with 

Petitioners in which EPA will commit to 

take final action amending the 

conformity regulations to address PM 

2.5 hotspot analyses by no later than 

March 31, 2006. 

For a period of thirty (30) days 

following the date of publication of this 

notice, the Agency will receive written 

comments relating to the proposed 

settlement agreement from persons who 

were not named as parties or interveners 

to the litigation in question. EPA or the 

Department of Justice may withdraw or 

withhold consent to the proposed 

settlement agreement if the comments 

disclose facts or considerations that 

indicate that such consent is 

inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or 

inconsistent with the requirements of 

the Act. Unless EPA or the Department 

of Justice determine, based on any 

comment which may be submitted, that 

consent to the settlement agreement 

should be withdrawn, the terms of the 

agreement will be affirmed. 

II. Additional Information About 

Commenting on the Proposed 

Settlement 

A. How Can I Get a Copy of the 

Settlement? 

EPA has established an official public 

docket for this action under Docket ID
