G. Operational Considerations 

1. Comment. The commenter stated 

that they ‘‘support Southwestern’s 

analysis and recommendations 

concerning the operational 

considerations in Section 8.’’ 

Response: Concur. 

2. Comment. ‘‘In Section 8.2 Water 

Temperature Control states minimum 

flows should be considered meeting a 

portion of the 3-day, 6,000 cfs-day 

generation releases designed to maintain 

suitable water temperatures in the 

downstream trout fishery and SWPA’s 

generation requirements should be 

reduced accordingly, or additional 

compensation provided. We agree 

releases are needed to maintain suitable 

water temperatures and commend 

SWPA for providing these releases. 

However, we do not agree these 

volumes should be reduced since (1) 

seasonal pools have been provided to 

mitigate SWPA for these generations, (2) 

neither the timing nor volume of these 

releases are optimal for addressing 

temperature needs of the downstream 

trout fishery.’’ 

Response: Southwestern does not 

concur. The 3-day requirement is for a 

specific amount of water to be released 

over each 3-day period. The modeling 

and computation performed by both the 

Corps and Southwestern of the 

hydropower impacts and associated 

compensation were based upon the 

assumption that the minimum flow 

releases would be used to help meet 

those downstream requirements. If it is 

decided that such an operation is not 

desirable, then the assumption would 

need to be changed, the impact to 

hydropower would need to be 

recomputed, and the compensation 

increased accordingly.

Title: Criteria for Classification of

Practices (Renewal) 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1745.06, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0154. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on January 31, 2009. 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, 

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: The 1984 Hazardous and 

Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) to 

the Resource Conservation and 

Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, 

mandated that the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) revise the 

Criteria for Solid Waste Disposal 

Facilities that may receive household 

hazardous wastes and conditionally 

exempt small quantity generator 

(CESQG) wastes. In order to effectively 

implement and enforce these 

regulations (found at 40 CFR part 257, 

subpart B) on a State level, owners/ 

operators of construction and 

demolition waste landfills that receive 

CESQG hazardous wastes have to 

comply with reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements. This ICR 

documents the ongoing recordkeeping 

and reporting burdens associated with 

the location and ground-water 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 14 / Friday, January 23, 2009 / Notices 4189 

monitoring provisions contained in 40 

CFR part 257, subpart B. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 74 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. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

152. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

11,219. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost (in 

thousands of dollars): $2,014,382, 

which includes $1,577,659 annualized 

capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 2,362 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This decrease is due to the 

reduction in the total number of 

Construction & Demolition landfills.

Division.
