information to be collected; and (d) 

minimize the burden on the 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

The PRA also requires agencies to 

estimate the total annual reporting 

‘‘non-hour cost’’ burden to respondents 

or recordkeepers resulting from the 

collection of information. If you have 

costs to generate, maintain, and disclose 

this information, you should comment 

and provide your total capital and 

startup cost components or annual 

operation, maintenance, and purchase 

of service components. You should 

describe the methods you use to 

estimate major cost factors, including 

system and technology acquisition, 

expected useful life of capital 

equipment, discount rate(s), and the 

period over which you incur costs. 

Capital and startup costs include, 

among other items, computers and 

software you purchase to prepare for 

collecting information; monitoring, 

sampling, and testing equipment; and 

record storage facilities. Generally, your 

estimates should not include equipment 

or services purchased: (i) Before October 

1, 1995; (ii) to comply with 

requirements not associated with the 

information collection; (iii) for reasons 

other than to provide information or 

keep records for the Government; or (iv) 

as part of customary and usual business 

or private practices. 

We will summarize written responses 

to this notice and address them in our 

ICR submission for OMB approval, 

including appropriate adjustments to 

the estimated burden. We will provide 

a copy of the ICR to you without charge 

upon request. The ICR also will be 

posted at http://www.mrm.mms.gov/ 

Laws_R_D/FRNotices/FRInfColl.htm. 

Public Comment Policy: We will post 

all comments in response to this notice 

at http://www.mrm.mms.gov/Laws_R_D/ 

FRNotices/FRInfColl.htm. We also will 

make copies of the comments available 

for public view, including names and 

addresses of respondents, during regular 

business hours at our offices in 

Lakewood, Colorado. Before including 

your address, phone number, e-mail 

address, or other personal identifying 

information in your comment, be 

advised that your entire comment—

including your personal identifying 

information—may be made publicly 

available at any time. While you can ask 

us in your comment to withhold from

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging Consent Decree 

Under the Clean Air Act 

Pursuant to 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 

hereby given that, on August 12, 2008, 

a proposed Consent Decree in United 

States v. Salt River Project Agricultural 

Improvement and Power District 

[‘‘SRP’’], Civil Action No. 2:08-cv-1479- 

JAT (D. Ariz.), was lodged with the 

United States District Court for the 

District of Arizona. The Consent Decree 

addresses alleged violations of the Clean 

Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401–7671 et seq., 

and state and federal implementing 

regulations, which occurred at Units 1 

and 2 of the Coronado Generating 

Station, a coal-fired power plant owned 

and operated by SRP in St. Johns, 

Arizona. The alleged violations arise 

from the construction of modifications 

to the power plant without obtaining 

appropriate permits under the 

Prevention of Significant Deterioration 

provisions of the Clean Air Act, 42 

U.S.C. 7475, and Title V of the Act, 42 

U.S.C. 7661 et seq., and without 

installing and applying best available 

control technology at the plant to 

control emissions of various air 

pollutants. 

The proposed Consent Decree would 

resolve the claims alleged in the 

Complaint filed in this matter in 

exchange for SRP’s commitment to 

perform injunctive relief including: (1) 

Installation of appropriate pollution 

control technology to control emissions 

of nitrogen oxides (NOX), sulfur dioxide 

(SO2), and particulate matter (PM)—

including flue gas desulfurization 

devices to control SO2 on Units 1 and 

2 at the Coronado Station and 

installation of selective catalytic 

reduction to control NOX on one of the 

two units; (2) meet specified emission 

rates or removal efficiencies for SO2, 

NOX, and PM; (3) comply with a plantwide emissions cap for NOX; and (4) 

perform $4 million worth of projects to 

mitigate the alleged effects of its past 

violations. The proposed Consent 

Decree also requires SRP to pay a 

$950,000 civil penalty. 

The Department of Justice will receive 

comments relating to the proposed 

Consent Decree for period of thirty (30) 

days from the date of this publication. 

Comments should be addressed to the

Washington, DC 20044–7611.

Improvement and Power District, Civil 

Action No. 2:08-cv-1479-JAT (D.Ariz.) 

and D.J. Ref. No. 90–5–2–1–09174. 

The Consent Decree may be examined 

at: (1) The offices of the United States 

Attorney, Two Renaissance Square, 40 

N. Central Avenue, Suite 1200, Phoenix, 

AZ 85004–4408; and (2) the offices of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Section 101(c) of the Federal Mine 

Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine 

Act) allows the mine operator or 

representative of miners to file a 

petition to modify the application of any 

mandatory safety standard to a coal or 

other mine if the Secretary determines 

that: (1) An alternative method of 

achieving the result of such standard 

exists which will at all times guarantee 

no less than the same measure of 

protection afforded the miners of such 

mine by such standard; or (2) that the 

application of such standard to such 

mine will result in a diminution of 

safety to the miners in such mine. In 

addition, the regulations at 30 CFR 

44.10 and 44.11 establish the 

requirements and procedures for filing 

petitions for modifications. 

II. Petition for Modification 

Docket Number: M–2008–001–M. 

Petitioner: EP Minerals, LLC, an 

Eagle-Picher Company, 2360 Grahamm 

Blvd., Vale, Oregon 97918. 

Mine: Clark Mill, MSHA I.D. 26–

00677, located in Storey County, 

Nevada; Colado Plant, MSHA I.D. No. 

26–00680, located in Pershing County, 

Nevada; and Celatom Plant, MSHA I.D. 

No. 35–03236, located in Malheur 

County, Oregon. 

Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 56.20001 

(Intoxicating beverages and narcotics). 

Modification Request: The petitioner 

requests a modification of the existing 

standard to permit the use of beer in 

their laboratories to test a filtration 

product used by breweries. The 

laboratory tests are performed by 

dissolving the product in degassed beer 

to ensure that it will not affect the 

breweries’ product. The petitioner states 

that: (1) Their beer is ordered by the 

leading lab technician or other 

responsible party, purchased at the local 

grocery outlet by their purchaser, taken 

to the lab and stored in a back room, 

and accessible to only a few authorized 

people; and (2) the beer is closely 

tracked to determine how much is on 

hand and how much is used. The 

petitioner asserts that the proposed 

alternative method will provide the 

same degree of safety as the existing 

standard.
