57352 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 192 / Thursday, October 2, 2008 / Notices 

$815,580 is insufficient to produce the 

annual revenues necessary to 

accomplish repayment as required by 

Section 5 of the Flood Control Act of 

1944 and Department of Energy (DOE) 

Order No. RA 6120.2. The increased 

revenue requirement is due to an 

increase in the U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (Corps) projected operations 

and maintenance costs. The Revised 

PRS indicates that an increase in annual 

revenues of $113,808 beginning October 

1, 2008, is sufficient to accomplish 

repayment of the Federal investment in 

the required number of years. 

Accordingly, Southwestern developed a 

proposed rate schedule based on that 

increased revenue requirement. 

Title 10, Part 903, Subpart A of the 

Code of Federal Regulations, 

‘‘Procedures for Public Participation in 

Power and Transmission Rate 

Adjustments and Extensions,’’ has been 

followed in connection with the 

proposed rate adjustment. More 

specifically, opportunities for public 

review and comment during a 30-day 

period on the proposed Willis power 

rate were announced by a Federal 

Register (73 FR 45435) notice published 

on August 5, 2008. The combined 

Public Information and Comment 

Forum scheduled for August 13, 2008, 

in Tulsa, Oklahoma was canceled as no 

one expressed an intent to participate. 

Written comments were due by 

September 4, 2008. Southwestern 

provided the Federal Register notice, 

together with requested supporting data, 

to the customer and interested parties 

for review and comment during the 

formal period of public participation. In 

addition, prior to the formal 30-day 

public participation process, 

Southwestern discussed with the 

customer representatives the 

preliminary information on the 

proposed rate adjustment. Only one 

formal comment was received during 

the public process. That comment, on 

behalf of SRMPA, Sam Rayburn Dam 

Electric Cooperative, and the Vinton 

Public Power Authority, expressed no 

objection to the final proposed rate. 

Upon conclusion of the comment 

period in September 2008, 

Southwestern finalized the PRS and rate 

schedule for the proposed annual rate of 

$929,388 which is the lowest possible 

rate needed to satisfy repayment 

criteria. This rate represents an annual 

increase of 14.0 percent. 

Availability of Information 

Information regarding this rate 

increase, including studies and other 

supporting material, is available for 

public review and comment in the 

offices of Southwestern Power 

Administration, One West Third Street, 

Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103. 

Comments and Responses 

Southwestern received one written 

comment in which the customer 

representative expressed no objection to 

the proposed rate adjustment. 

Other Issues 

There were no other issues raised 

during the informal discussions or 

during the formal public participation 

period. 

Administrator’s Certification 

The 2008 Revised Willis PRS 

indicates that the annual power rate of 

$929,388 will repay all costs of the 

project, including amortization of the 

power investment consistent with 

provisions of the Department of Energy 

(DOE) Order No. RA 6120.2. In 

accordance with Delegation Order Nos. 

00–037.00 (December 6, 2001) and 00– 

001.00C (January 31, 2007), and Section 

5 of the Flood Control Act of 1944, the 

Administrator has determined that the 

proposed Willis power rate is consistent 

with applicable law and the lowest 

possible rate consistent with sound 

business principles. 

Environment 

The environmental impact of the rate 

increase proposal was evaluated in 

consideration of DOE’s guidelines for 

implementing the procedural provisions 

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act, 10 CFR 1021, and was determined 

to fall within the class of actions that are 

categorically excluded from the 

requirements of preparing either an 

Environmental Impact Statement or an 

Environmental Assessment. 

Order 

In view of the foregoing and pursuant 

to the authority delegated to me, I 

hereby confirm, approve and place in 

effect on an interim basis, for the period 

October 1, 2008, through September 30, 

2012, the annual Robert Douglas Willis 

Hydropower Rate of $929,388 for the 

sale of power and energy from Robert 

Douglas Willis project to the Sam 

Rayburn Municipal Power Agency, 

under Contract No. DE–PM75– 

85SW00117, as amended. This rate shall 

remain in effect on an interim basis 

through September 30, 2012, or until the 

FERC confirms and approves the rate on 

a final basis. 

Dated: September 25, 2008. 

Jeffrey Kupfer, 

Deputy Secretary.

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

1983.05, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0489. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on November 30, 2008. Under 

OMB regulations, the Agency may 

continue to conduct or sponsor the 

collection of information while this 

submission is pending at OMB. 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 title 40 of the CFR, 

after appearing in the Federal Register 

when approved, are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9, and displayed either by 

publication in the Federal Register or 

by other appropriate means, such as on 

the related collection instrument or 

form, if applicable. The display of OMB 

control numbers in certain EPA 

regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR 

part 9. 

Abstract: All existing sources must be 

in compliance with the requirements of 

the Generic Maximum Achievable 

Control Technology (MACT) National 

Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air 

Pollutants (NESHAP) within three years 

of the effective date (promulgation date) 

of standards for an affected source. All 

new sources must be in compliance 

with the requirements of the Generic 

MACT (GMACT) NESHAP upon startup 

or prior to the promulgation date of 

standards for an affected source, 

whichever is later. These standards 

apply to hazardous air pollutant (HAP) 

emission sources in the carbon black 

production, cyanide chemicals 

manufacturing, ethylene production, 

and spandex production source 

categories. 

Compliance is assumed through 

initial performance testing or design 

analysis, as appropriate, and ongoing 

compliance is demonstrated through 

parametric monitoring. The facilities are 

subject to the major source provisions 

specified under the GMACT NESHAP. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 90 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 which have subsequently 

changed; 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: 

Facilities that manufacture carbon 

black, cyanide chemicals, ethylene, and 

spandex. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

72. 

Frequency of Response: Occasionally, 

semiannually and annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

13,533 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$1,439,214, which is comprised of 

Operations & Management (O&M) costs 

of $359,065, labor costs of $1,080,149, 

and no annualized capital/start-up 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the total estimated burden 

currently identified in the OMB 

Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. 

Dated: September 26, 2008.
