27072 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 105 / Thursday, May 30, 1996 / Notices

FERC and not use the scoping meetings

for this purpose.

Interested groups and individuals are

encouraged to attend the meetings and

present oral comments on the

environmental issues which they

believe should be addressed in the Draft

EIS. The more specific your comments,

the more useful they will be. Anyone

who would like to make an oral

presentation at the meeting should

contact the EIS Project Manager

identified at the end of this notice to

have his or her name placed on the list

of speakers. Priority will be given to

those persons representing groups. A

list will be available at the public

meetings to allow for non-preregistered

speakers to sign up. A transcript will be

made of the meetings and comments

will be used to help determine the scope

of the Draft EIS.

Becoming an Intervenor

In addition to involvement in the EIS

scoping process, you may want to

become an official party to the

proceeding or become an ‘‘intervenor.’’

Among other things, intervenors have

the right to receive copies of caserelated Commission documents and

filings by other intervenors. Likewise,

each intervenor must provide copies of

its filings to all other parties. If you

want to become an intervenor you must

file a motion to intervene according to

Rule 214 of the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure (18 CFR

385.214) (see appendix 4).

The date for filing of timely motions

to intervene in this proceeding has

passed. Therefore, parties now seeking

to file late interventions must show

good cause, as required by section

385.214(b)(3), why this time limitation

should be waived. Environmental issues

have been viewed as good cause for late

intervention. You do not need

intervenor status to have your scoping

comments considered.

Environmental Mailing List

This notice is being sent to

individuals, organizations, and

government entities interested in and/or

potentially affected by the proposed

project. It is also being sent to all

potential right-of-way grantors to solicit

comments regarding environmental

considerations related to the proposed

project. As details of the project become

established, representatives to PNGTS

may also separately contact landowners,

communities, and public agencies

concerning project matters, including

acquisition of permits and rights-of-way.

If you do not want to send comments

at this time but still want to keep

informed and receive copies of the Draft

and Final EIS’s, please return the

Information Request (appendix 5). If you

do not return the Information Request,

you will be taken off the mailing list.

Additional information about the

proposed project is available from Mr.

Mark Jensen, EIS Project Manager, at

(202) 208–0828.

Lois D. Cashell,

Secretary.

Agency Information Collection

Activities Under OMB Review;

Standards of Performance for New

Stationary Sources Glass

Manufacturing Plants

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3507(a)(1)(D), this notice announces that

the Information Collection Request (ICR)

for Standards of Performance for New

Stationary Sources—Glass

Manufacturing Plants—NSPS Subpart

CC) described below has been

forwarded to the Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) for review and

comment. The ICR describes the nature

of the information collection and its

expected burden and cost; where

appropriate, it includes the actual data

collection instrument.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before July 1, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR A COPY

CALL: Sandy Farmer at EPA, (202) 260–

2740, and refer to EPA ICR No. 1131.05.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Standards of Performance for

Glass Manufacturing Plants (OMB

Control No. 2060–0054; EPA ICR No.

1131.05). This is a request for extension

of a currently approved collection.

Abstract: The Administrator has

judged that PM emissions from glass

manufacturing plants cause or

contribute to air pollution that may

reasonably be anticipated to endanger

public health or welfare. Owners/

operators of glass manufacturing plants

must notify EPA of construction,

modification, startups, shut downs, date

and results of initial performance test.

In order to ensure compliance with

the standards promulgated to protect

public health, adequate reporting and

recordkeeping is necessary. In the

absence of such information

enforcement personnel would be unable

to determine whether the standards are

being met on a continuous basis, as

required by the Clean Air Act.

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 are listed

in 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter

15. The Federal Register notice required

under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting

comments on this collection of

information was published on

September 29, 1995.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 2212.4 hours per

response. 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 capital costs associated with this

rule result from purchasing particulate

matter control devices and operation

and maintenance of particulate matter

control devices. The estimated cost of a

particulate matter control device is

$400,000. The estimated annual costs

for operation and maintenance of

pollution control equipment is

$175,000. This figure was calculated

using estimates provided by a glass

manufacturing industry consultant who

stated that operation and maintenance

of pollution control equipment costs

approximately $2.00 per ton of glass

manufactured with the average

container glass facility manufacturing

250 tons per day for 350 days per year.

Respondents/Affected Entities: 30.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

30.

Frequency of Response: 2.

Estimated Number of Responses: 60.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

2,588.9 hours.

Estimated Total Annualized Cost

Burden: $78,834.

Send comments on the Agency’s need

for this information, the accuracy of the

provided burden estimates, and any

suggested methods for minimizing

respondent burden, including through

the use of automated collection

techniques to the following addresses.

Please refer to EPA ICR No. 1131.05 and

OMB Control No. 2060–0054 in any

correspondence.
