25732 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 102 / Friday, May 29, 2009 / Notices 

1010.1(d) of BPA’s Procedures, BPA 

waives the requirement in section 

1010.4(d) that an opposition to an 

intervention petition must be filed and 

served 24 hours before the prehearing 

conference. Any opposition to an 

intervention petition may instead be 

made at the prehearing conference. Any 

party, including BPA, may oppose a 

petition for intervention. Persons who 

have been denied party status in any 

past BPA rate proceeding shall continue 

to be denied party status unless they 

establish a significant change of 

circumstances. All timely applications 

will be ruled on by the Hearing Officer. 

Late interventions are strongly 

disfavored. 

B. Developing the Record 

The record of this proceeding will 

comprise, among other things, 

comments made by participants, 

transcripts of all hearings, any written 

materials submitted by the parties, 

documents developed by BPA staff, and 

other materials accepted into the record 

by the Hearing Officer. Written 

comments by participants will be 

included in the record if they are 

received by 5 p.m., PDT, on July 8, 

2009. The Hearing Officer will review 

the record, supplement it if necessary, 

and will certify the record to the 

Administrator for decision. 

The Administrator will adopt the final 

TRM modifications based on the entire 

record, which includes the record 

certified by the Hearing Officer, as 

described above. The basis for the final 

TRM modifications will be expressed in 

the Administrator’s ROD. BPA will 

serve copies of the Final ROD on all 

parties. The ROD will also be publicly 

available at http://www.bpa.gov/ 

corporate/ratecase. 

BPA must continue to meet with 

customers in the ordinary course of 

business during the rate case. To 

comport with the rate case procedural 

rule prohibiting ex parte 

communications, BPA will provide the 

prescribed notice of meetings involving 

rate case issues in order to permit the 

opportunity for participation by all rate 

case parties. These meetings may be 

held on very short notice. Consequently, 

parties should be prepared to devote the 

necessary resources to participate fully 

in every aspect of the rate proceeding 

and attend meetings any day during the 

course of the rate proceeding. 

Part IV—Tiered Rate Methodology 

Proposed Modifications 

On January 30, 2009, BPA published 

the Final TRM Clean Up List pursuant 

to section 12 of the TRM. The Clean Up 

List identified nine revisions agreed to 

by BPA and preference customer 

representatives designated by the Public 

Power Council. Revision 1 provides an 

amendment to the amount of Pend 

Oreille Public Utility District’s Box 

Canyon Dam resource specified in TRM 

Attachment C—Existing Resources for 

CHWMs. 

Revision 2, the CHWM adjustment, 

provides an amendment to the 

calculation of the CHWM pursuant to 

section 4.1 of the TRM. During the 

Clean-Up review, some of BPA’s 

customers became concerned that the 

effects of the current economic 

recession may adversely affect their FY 

2010 load, thereby reducing their 

CHWM. BPA met with public power 

representatives and jointly developed 

the proposed modification to the 

calculation of CHWM. The proposed 

modification would provide each 

customer with an option to include 

provisional amounts in its CHWM if it 

has experienced qualifying load 

reductions due to the current economic 

recession. The provisional CHWM 

would be made permanent if the load 

recovers within specified parameters. 

Revision 3 proposes clarification to 

certain language regarding Forecast 

Monthly/Diurnal Tier 1 Load 

throughout the TRM. These proposed 

modifications do not change the intent 

of the original language, but change 

certain terms to add clarity. 

Revision 4 deletes certain language 

from TRM section 8.5. This proposed 

modification does not change the intent 

of the original language, but removes 

unnecessary language. 

Revision 5 adds a minimum duration 

for public comment during the Rate 

Period High Water Mark process. The 

original language in TRM section 4.2.2 

provided for public comment, but did 

not specify a length of time for such 

comment. 

Revision 6 proposes clarification to 

certain language in TRM section 1.2 

regarding cost allocation. This proposed 

modification does not change the intent 

of the original language, but changes 

certain terms to add clarity. 

Revision 7 proposes clarification to 

certain language in TRM sections 4 and 

4.2 regarding Net Requirements. This 

modification will also add a definition 

of net requirement consistent with the 

power sales contract definition. These 

proposed modifications do not change 

the intent of the original language, but 

change certain terms to add clarity. 

Revision 8 proposes to add language 

to TRM section 12.5, an action that is 

not considered to be a revision to the 

TRM. This proposed modification does 

not change the intent of the original 

language, but includes an inadvertent 

oversight of the basis for allocating an 

interest credit. 

BPA’s proposed modifications to the 

TRM are available for viewing and 

downloading on BPA’s Web site at 

http://www.bpa.gov/corporate/ratecase. 

Copies will also be available for viewing 

at BPA’s Public Information Center,

What Information Collection Activity or 

ICR Does This Apply to? 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are home 

builders, home owners, home energy 

verification organizations, lenders, 

regional energy efficiency programs, 

home improvement contractors, and 

national, regional, state, or local 

government entities and other 

organizations that serve the home 

building or home improvement 

industries. 

Title: Information Collection 

Activities Associated with EPA’s 

ENERGY STAR Program in the 

Residential Sector. 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 2193.02, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0586. 

ICR Status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on November 30, 

2009. 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 are 

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: EPA introduced ENERGY 

STAR in 1992 to label energy efficient 

computers. Since then, EPA and the 

Department of Energy (DOE) have 

expanded the ENERGY STAR Program 

to promote energy efficiency in products 

and commercial and residential 

buildings. Increased energy efficiency 

through ENERGY STAR provides cost 

savings to businesses and homeowners, 

reduces greenhouse gas emissions from 

power plants, and increases U.S. energy 

security and reliability. 

EPA announced ENERGY STAR for 

New Homes in 1995 as part of its effort 

to promote energy efficient construction 

in the new homes market. EPA rolled 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

25734 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 102 / Friday, May 29, 2009 / Notices 

out its existing homes effort in 2000 to 

promote comprehensive, cost-effective 

upgrades to the existing homes market. 

These two efforts promote home 

envelope improvements such as the 

proper installation of adequate 

insulation, sealing of holes and gaps 

that allow air into the home, and 

installation of energy efficient windows. 

In addition to the home envelope, EPA 

promotes energy efficient heating and 

cooling equipment, including sealing 

leaky ducts that distribute conditioned 

air. 

EPA has developed this ICR to obtain 

authorization to collect information 

from the public for the activities 

described below. 

ENERGY STAR Partnership: An 

organization interested in joining 

ENERGY STAR as a partner is asked to 

submit a partnership agreement 

establishing its commitment to 

promoting ENERGY STAR. Partners 

agree to undertake efforts such as 

educating staff and the public about 

their partnership with ENERGY STAR, 

developing and implementing a plan to 

improve energy performance in homes, 

and highlighting achievements utilizing 

the ENERGY STAR logos. Partners are 

encouraged to undertake related 

activities for added benefit and/or 

public recognition, such as committing 

to build 100% ENERGY STAR qualified 

new homes or offering homebuyers 

ENERGY STAR’s Advanced Lighting 

Package. 

Evaluation: Partners and other 

program participants are asked to 

periodically submit information to EPA 

as needed to assist in evaluating 

ENERGY STAR’s effectiveness in 

helping organizations promote energy 

efficiency in homes, to assess partners’ 

level of interest and ability in promoting 

ENERGY STAR in the residential sector, 

and to determine the impact that 

ENERGY STAR has on the supply and 

demand for energy-efficient homes and 

home improvement products and 

services. For example, EPA periodically 

contacts a subset of partners about their 

participation in the ENERGY STAR 

Program to determine how it has 

impacted their organization and areas 

for improvement. EPA also provides 

tools to help educate homeowners about 

their homes’ energy efficiency. For 

example, a homeowner can input basic 

information about their home and their 

utility costs into EPA’s Home Energy 

Yardstick to compare their household’s 

energy use to others and get 

recommendations for improvement. 

EPA would like to utilize some of this 

information to evaluate the tool’s 

usefulness as well as evaluate the 

impact of energy efficiency 

improvements as well as other 

characteristics of the home on home 

energy efficiency. 

Quarterly Reporting: Partners are 

asked to submit information each 

calendar quarter to assist EPA in 

tracking and measuring progress and 

program implementation. This includes 

submitting quarterly updates on 

partners’ level of activity in qualifying 

new homes for the ENERGY STAR label 

and activity in improving the energy 

efficiency of existing homes. 

ENERGY STAR Awards: Each year 

partners are eligible for an ENERGY 

STAR award, which recognizes 

organizations demonstrating 

outstanding support in promoting 

ENERGY STAR. This award program 

provides partners with public 

recognition and market differentiation. 

There is an application form that is 

submitted to EPA by partners interested 

in being eligible for an award. 

Outreach Partnership: Partners have 

the opportunity to participate in an 

outreach partnership with EPA to 

develop public education campaigns 

featuring the benefits of ENERGY STAR 

qualified homes. Partners interested in 

participating in the outreach program 

are asked to submit a form detailing 

their level of participation. 

Finally, organizations are encouraged 

to participate in other voluntary 

activities under the program, such as 

pilot projects designed to help EPA find 

better ways to encourage energy 

efficiency in new and existing homes. 

Burden Statement: The annual burden 

for joining ENERGY STAR and 

conducting related activities is 

estimated to range from about 1 to 100 

hours per respondent. This includes 

time for preparing and submitting the 

Partnership Agreement and related 

information, if requested, and carrying 

out specified activities under the 

partnership (e.g., verifying site-built 

homes to see if they qualify for an 

ENERGY STAR Label). The annual 

burden for partner evaluations is 

estimated to range from 15 minutes to 

4 hours per respondent. This includes 

time for responding to EPA’s questions 

posed during a phone interview or other 

method. The annual burden for 

quarterly reporting is estimated to range 

from about 3.5 to 10 hours per 

respondent. This includes time for 

submitting specified information to EPA 

on a quarterly basis. The annual burden 

for the annual awards is estimated to 

range from about 10.5 to 30 hours per 

respondent. This includes time for 

preparing and submitting the 

application materials and, if requested, 

an annual report. The annual burden for 

the outreach activities is estimated to 

range from about 1 to 40 hours per 

respondent. This includes time for 

preparing and submitting the 

commitment form and performing 

outreach activities under the 

partnership (e.g., implementing an 

outreach campaign). 

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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 80,000. 

Frequency of response: Once, 

quarterly, annually, on occasion. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

297,997. 

Estimated total annual costs: $18.7 

million. This includes an estimated cost 

of approximately $18.6 million for labor 

and $0.1 million for capital investment, 

operation and maintenance. 

Are There Changes in the Estimates 

From the Last Approval? 

There is an increase of 122,548 hours 

in the total estimated respondent 

burden compared with that identified in 

the ICR currently approved by OMB. 

This increase results partly from 

adjustments to EPA’s burden estimates 

of its existing collections (e.g., updates 

to the number of respondents and 

activities). The increase also results 

from some new, voluntary programs that 

EPA would like to offer industry and 

homeowners to further promote energy 

efficiency in new and existing homes. 

For example, EPA intends to offer a 

voluntary, online tool for homeowners 

to compare their home’s energy 

efficiency to other, similar homes. They 

would enter basic information from 

their utility bills and their home’s size 

and location to derive comparative 

information. This would help them take 

steps to reduce their home’s energy 

usage and costs. Because the tool would 

be user-friendly and yet beneficial, EPA 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 102 / Friday, May 29, 2009 / Notices 25735 

estimates that many homeowners would 

use it (i.e., 75,000 homeowners/yr.). 

What Is the Next Step in the Process for 

this ICR? 

EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the ICR as 

appropriate. The final ICR package will 

then be submitted to OMB for review 

and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 

announce the submission of the ICR to 

OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to OMB. If you 

have any questions about this ICR or the 

approval process, please contact the

II. Background 

EPA made this determination under 

the authority of Section 9 of the WIPP 

Land Withdrawal Act (WIPP LWA). 

(Pub. L. 102–579 and 104–201.) Section 

9(a)(1) of the WIPP LWA requires that, 

as of the date of the enactment of the 

WIPP LWA, DOE shall comply with 

respect to WIPP with (1) regulations for 

the management and storage of 

radioactive waste (40 CFR Part 191, 

Subpart A); (2) the Clean Air Act; (3) the 

Solid Waste Disposal Act; (4) the Safe 

Drinking Water Act; (5) the Toxic 

Substances Control Act; (6) the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act; and (7) all other applicable Federal 

laws pertaining to public health and 

safety or the environment. Section 

9(a)(2) of the WIPP LWA requires DOE 

biennially to submit to EPA 

documentation of continued compliance 

with the laws, regulations, and permit 

requirements set forth in Section 9(a)(1). 

(DOE must also submit similar 

documentation of compliance with the 

Solid Waste Disposal Act to the State of 

New Mexico.) Section 9(a)(3) requires 

the Administrator of EPA to determine 

on a biennial basis, following the 

submittal of documentation of 

compliance by the Secretary of DOE, 

whether the WIPP is in compliance with 

the pertinent laws, regulations, and 

permit requirements, as set forth at 

Section 9(a)(1). 

We determined that for the period 

2006 to 2008, the DOE-submitted 

documentation showed continued 

compliance with 40 CFR Part 191, 

subpart A, the Clean Air Act, the Safe 

Drinking Water Act, the Toxic 

Substances Control Act, and the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act. With respect to other applicable 

Federal laws pertaining to public health 

and safety or the environment, as 

required by Section 9(a)(1)(G), DOE’s 

documentation also indicates that DOE 

was in compliance with the Clean Water 

Act, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, 

and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), and 

certain statutes under the jurisdiction of 

the Department of the Interior. 

This determination is not in any way 

related to, or a part of, our certification 

and recertification decisions regarding 

whether the WIPP complies with EPA’s 

disposal regulations for transuranic 

radioactive waste at 40 CFR Part 191. 

Dated: May 22, 2009.
