Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 27 / Wednesday, February 10, 2016 / Notices 7089 

Category 7: Impacts of Wide-Scale 

Electrification 

We are also interested in the potential 

material implications of wide-scale 

electrification (industry, transportation, etc.). 

• What components are needed and for 

what purpose to accomplish wide-scale 

electrification (both in the electricity 

infrastructure and end use applications) and 

what quantities will be required in what 

timeframe? 

• What materials of interest are required 

for these components? 

Category 8: Additional Information 

• Are there other materials that DOE 

should analyze (beyond the materials of 

interest) that may be of concern due to 

increasing demand for energy technologies 

and/or supply risk? Please explain and 

provide material content by component and 

energy technology. 

• Are there other technologies or 

components that DOE should analyze 

(beyond the technologies of interest)? Please 

explain. 

• Is there additional information, not 

requested above, that you believe DOE 

should consider in updating the Critical 

Materials Strategy? If so, please provide here. 

II. Confidential Business Information 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 1004.11, any 

person submitting information that he 

or she believes to be confidential and 

exempt by law from public disclosure 

should submit via email two well 

marked copies: one copy of the 

document marked ‘‘confidential’’ 

including all the information believed to 

be confidential, and one copy of the 

document marked ‘‘non-confidential’’ 

with the information believed to be 

confidential deleted. DOE will make its 

own determination about the 

confidential status of the information 

and treat it according to its 

determination. 

Factors of interest to DOE when 

evaluating requests to treat submitted 

information as confidential include: (1) 

A description of the items; (2) whether 

and why such items are customarily 

treated as confidential within the 

industry; (3) whether the information is 

generally known by or available from 

other sources; (4) whether the 

information has previously been made 

available to others without obligation 

concerning its confidentiality; (5) an 

explanation of the competitive injury to 

the submitting person that would result 

from public disclosure; (6) when such 

information might lose its confidential 

character due to the passage of time; and 

(7) why disclosure of the information 

would be contrary to the public interest.

Principal Deputy Director for Energy Policy 

and Systems Analysis.

from the existing irrigation canal; (2) a 

3,000-foot-long, 1,000-foot-wide upper 

reservoir created by a 60-foot-high, 

7,500-foot-long concrete-faced rockfill 

dam; (3) a reinforced concrete intake/

outlet structure at the upper reservoir 

with six gated intake bays converging 

into a central 18-foot-diameter, 750-footlong vertical shaft; (4) an 18-footdiameter, 3,000-foot-long concrete and 

steel-lined penstock tunnel leading from 

the upper reservoir to the lower 

reservoir; (5) a 2,300-foot-long, 1,900-

combination of excavation and two 60- 

foot-high, 500- and 750-foot-long 

concrete-faced rockfill dams; (6) a 

partially buried 338-foot-long, 109-footwide, 74-foot-high reinforced concrete 

and steel powerhouse with four 100- 

megawatt (MW) ternary Pelton turbine/ 

pump/generators; (7) a 600-foot-long, 

200-foot-wide substation at the 

powerhouse site with 13.8-kilovolt (kV) 

to 230-kV step-up transformers; (8) a 

5.7-mile-long, 230-kV transmission line; 

(9) a 1,200-foot-long, 1,450-foot wide 

substation with a 230-kV to 500-kV stepup transformer, connecting to an 

existing non-project 500-kV 

transmission line; and (11) appurtenant 

facilities. The project is estimated to 

provide 1,300 gigawatt-hours annually. 

No federal lands are included in the 

project. 

m. A copy of the application is 

available for review at the Commission 

in the Public Reference Room or may be
