Paiute Pipeline Company; Notice of

Availability of the Environmental

Assessment for the Proposed Paiute

Expansion II Project

June 12, 1996.

The staff of the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission (FERC or

Commission) has prepared an

environmental assessment (EA) on the

natural gas pipeline facilities proposed

by Paiute Pipeline Company (Paiute) in

the above-referenced dockets.

The EA was prepared to satisfy the

requirements of the National

Environmental Policy Act. The staff

concludes that approval of the proposed

project, with appropriate mitigating

measures, would not constitute a major

Federal action significantly affecting the

quality of the human environment.

The EA assesses the potential

environmental effects of the

construction and operation of the Paiute

Expansion II Project facilities including:

• Construction of 19.6 miles of new

pipeline;

• Relocation of the South Tahoe

Pressure Limiting Station;

• Installation of pressure-regulating

equipment at the California Check

Meter; and

• Modification of the Wadsworth

Junction Pressure Limiting Station.

The purpose of the proposed facilities

would be to provide Southwest Gas

Corporation (Southwest), a local

distribution company operating in

Nevada and California, with additional

gas to expand service on the north shore

of Lake Tahoe in California and provide

new natural gas service to the Truckee,

California, area.

The EA has been placed in the public

files of the FERC and is available for

public inspection at: Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, Public

Reference and Files Maintenance

Branch, 888 First Street, N.E., Room 2–

A, Washington, DC 20426, (202) 208–

1371.

Copies of the EA have been mailed to

Federal, state and local agencies, public

interest groups, interested individuals,

newspapers, and parties to this

proceeding.
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 118 / Tuesday, June 18, 1996 / Notices 30867

A limited number of copies of the EA

are available from: Ms. Lauren

O’Donnell, Environmental Project

Manager, Environmental Review and

Compliance Branch I, Office of Pipeline

Regulation, PR–11.1, 888 First Street,

N.E., Washington, DC 20426, (202) 208–

0325.

Any person wishing to comment on

the EA may do so. Written comments

must reference Docket Nos. CP94–29–

000, ¥001, and ¥002 and be addressed

to: Office of the Secretary, Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C.

20426.

Comments should be filed as soon as

possible, but must be received no later

than July 12, 1996, to ensure

consideration prior to a Commission

decision on this proposal. A copy of any

comments should also be sent to Ms.

Lauren O’ Donnell, Environmental

Project Manager, PR–11.1 at the above

address.

Comments will be considered by the

Commission but will not serve to make

the commentor a party to the

proceeding. Any person seeking to

become a party to the proceeding must

file a motion to intervene pursuant to

Rule 214 of the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedures (18 CFR

385.214).

The date for filing 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

comments considered.

Additional information about this

project is available from Ms. Lauren

O’Donnell.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AGENCY

[FRL–5522–4]

Agency Information Collection

Activities Under OMB Review

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.), this notice announces that

the Information Collection Request (ICR)

abstracted 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

cost and burden; where appropriate, it

includes the actual data collection

instrument.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before July 18, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR A COPY

CALL: Sandy Farmer at EPA, (202) 260–

2740, and refer to EPA ICR No. 0998.05.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: NSPS for Synthetic Organic

Chemical Manufacturing Industry

(SOCMI), Air Oxidation Unit Processes

and Distillation Operations (Subparts III

and NNN) OMB Control No. 2060–0197;

EPA ICR No. 998.05. This is a request

for an extension of a currently approved

collection.

Abstract: This ICR contains

recordkeeping and reporting

requirements that are mandatory for

compliance with 40 CFR Part 60.610,

Subpart III, Standards of Performance

for VOC Emissions from SOCMI Air

Oxidation Unit Processes and 40 CFR

Part 60.660, Subpart NNN, Standards of

Performance for VOC from SOCMI

Distillation Operations. This

information is used by the Agency to

identify sources subject to the standards

and to insure that the best demonstrated

technology is being properly applied.

The standards require periodic

recordkeeping to document process

information relating to the sources’

ability to meet the requirements of the

standard and to note the operation

conditions under which compliance

was achieved.

In the Administrator’s judgment, VOC

emissions from SOCMI air oxidation

unit processes and distillation

operations cause or contribute to air

pollution that may reasonably be

anticipated to endanger public health or

welfare. Therefore, NSPS were

promulgated for this source category.

Owners or operators of the affected

facilities described must make the

following one-time-only reports:

notification of the date of construction

or reconstruction; notification of the

anticipated and actual dates of startup;

notification of any physical or

operational change to an existing facility

which may increase the regulated

pollutant emission rate; notification of

the date of the initial performance test;

and the results of the initial

performance test. Owners or operators

are also required to maintain records of

the occurrence and duration of any

startup, shutdown, or malfunction in

the operation of an affected facility, or

any period during which the monitoring

system is inoperative. These

notifications, reports and records are

required, in general, of all sources

subject to NSPS.

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. The Federal Register

Notice with a 60-day comment period

soliciting comments on this collection

of information was published on 03/26/

96 (FR 13183).

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 62 hours per

response. This estimate 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.

Respondents/Affected Entities:

Owners and operators of air oxidation

processes or distillation operations.

Estimated No. of Respondents: 1491.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on

Respondents: 185,853 hours.

Frequency of Collection: Semiannual.

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. 0998.05 and

OMB Control No. 2060–0197 in any

correspondence.
