On May 6, 2010, and supplemented

filed an application for a preliminary 

permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the 

Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to 

study the feasibility of the Iron Mask 

Pumped Storage Project to be located 

near the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s 

Canyon Ferry Lake in the vicinity of 

Townsend, Montana, in Broadwater 

County, Montana. The sole purpose of a 

preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant 

the permit holder priority to file a 

license application during the permit

authorize the permit holder to perform 

any land-disturbing activities or 

otherwise enter upon lands or waters 

owned by others without the owners’ 

express permission. 

The proposed project will consist of 

the following: (1) A 225-foot-high, 

1,795-foot-long upper dam made of 

either zoned earth and rockfill or 

concrete-face earth and rockfill; (2) a 50- 

foot-high, 950-foot-long earth-filled 

upper saddle dike A; (3) a 20-foot-high, 

400-foot-long earth-filled upper saddle 

dike B; (4) a 40-foot-high, 6,559-footlong lower embankment made of zoned 

earth or rockfill; (5) an upper reservoir 

with a storage capacity of 4,888 acrefeet; (6) a lower reservoir with a storage 

capacity of 4,888 acre-feet; (7) a 1,626- 

foot-long, 12.9-foot-diameter unlined 

upper low-pressure tunnel; (8) a 4,809- 

foot-long, 12.9-foot-diameter unlined, 

concrete-lined, and steel-lined pressure 

shaft; (9) a 200-foot-long, 12.9-footdiameter concrete-lined and steel-lined 

high pressure tunnel; (10) four 6.5-footdiameter steel-lined penstocks (length to 

be determined); (11) a 5,073-foot-long, 

15.5-foot-diameter concrete-lined or 

unlined tailrace; (12) a 260-foot-long, 

65-foot-wide, 120-foot-high 

underground powerhouse located at a 

depth of 1,000 feet; (13) one 150- 

megawatt (MW), one 100–MW, and one 

50–MW reversible pump-turbines 

totaling 300 MW of generating capacity, 

with up to 100 MW of additional 

pumping capacity, for a total of 400 MW 

pumping capacity; (14) an 

approximately 3,000-footlong, 24-foothigh main access tunnel leading from 

the ground level to the powerhouse; and 

(15) a new single-circuit 230-kilovolt, 

4.9-mile-long transmission line with a 

150-foot right of way. Annual energy 

production is estimated to be 919,800 

megawatt-hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. What information is EPA particularly 

interested in? 

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

PRA, EPA specifically solicits 

comments and information to enable it 

to: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility. 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

Agency’s estimates of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used. 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected. 

4. Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. In 

particular, EPA is requesting comments 

from very small businesses (those that 

employ less than 25) on examples of 

specific additional efforts that EPA 

could make to reduce the paperwork 

burden for very small businesses 

affected by this collection. 

II. What should I consider when I 

prepare my comments for EPA? 

You may find the following 

suggestions helpful for preparing your 

comments: 

1. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible and provide specific examples. 

2. Describe any assumptions that you 

used. 

3. Provide copies of any technical 

information and/or data you used that 

support your views. 

4. If you estimate potential burden or 

costs, explain how you arrived at the 

estimate that you provide. 

5. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns. 

6. Offer alternative ways to improve 

the collection activity. 

7. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the deadline identified 

under DATES.
