36192 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 139 / Wednesday, July 22, 2009 / Notices 

through the September 2024 billing 

period. 

DATES: The Post-2009 Resource Pool 

Final Power Allocation will become 

effective August 21, 2009, and will 

remain in effect until September 30, 

2024. 

ADDRESSES: Information about the Post2009 Resource Pool Allocation, 

including comments, letters, and other 

supporting documents, is available for 

public inspection and copying at the 

Rocky Mountain Customer Service 

Region office, Western Area Power 

Administration, 5555 East Crossroads 

Boulevard, Loveland, CO 80538–8986. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Western 

published the Post-2009 Resource 

Pool—Loveland Area Projects— 

Allocation Procedures and Call for 

Applications (Procedures) on October 

22, 2008 (73 FR 62981), to implement 

Subpart C—Power Marketing Initiative 

of the Program’s Final Rule, 10 CFR part 

905, published on October 20, 1995, at 

60 FR 54151, as revised on March 30, 

2000, at 65 FR 16795. The Program, 

developed in part to implement section 

114 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 

(Pub. L. 102–486), became effective on 

November 20, 1995. The Program 

establishes project-specific power 

resource pools and provides for the 

allocation of power from these pools to 

new preference customers. The 

allocation procedures, in conjunction 

with the General Power Marketing and 

Allocation Criteria (Criteria) (51 FR 

4012, January 31, 1986), establish the 

framework for allocating power from the 

Loveland Area Projects (LAP) resource 

pool. 

Western published its proposed 

allocation and initiated a public 

comment period in the Federal Register 

(74 FR 13430, March 27, 2009). A public 

comment forum on the proposed 

allocation was held April 16, 2009. 

Public comments were due to Western 

by April 27, 2009, at 4 p.m. MDT. 

Western received one comment 

regarding the proposed allocation. 

I. Comment and Response 

Comment: One customer commented 

that with fewer eligible applicants, an 

allottee may get more power than if 

there were more eligible applicants for 

the resource pool. 

Response: Each eligible allottee 

receives a proportional share of the 

resource pool based on its average 

seasonal load; however, each allottee 

receiving an allocation from a LAP 

resource pool is capped at 5,000 

kilowatts (kW) of capacity. The energy 

is similarly capped to be consistent with 

the capacity allocation. This method 

complies with EPAMP and is consistent 

with RMR’s previous resource pool 

allocation process. 

II. Amount of Pool Resources 

Western will allocate up to 1 percent 

(1%) of the LAP long-term hydroelectric 

resource available as of October 1, 2009. 

Approximately 6.9 megawatts (MW) of 

capacity and 11.3 gigawatt-hours (GWh) 

of energy will be available for the 

summer season. Winter availability will 

be approximately 6.1 MW of capacity 

and 9.1 GWh of energy. This resource 

pool is created by reducing existing 

customers’ allocations by up to 1%. 

III. Final Power Allocation 

Western received four applications for 

the Post-2009 LAP resource pool. All 

applicants were eligible and four 

allocations were proposed. Since the 

proposed allocations were published, 

one entity with a proposed allocation, 

the University of Wyoming, was unable 

to obtain delivery of its allocation and 

withdrew its application. As provided 

in the Procedures, the total resource was 

redistributed to the remaining allottees. 

Through this redistribution, the City of 

Russell’s summer capacity exceeded the 

5,000 kW maximum by 570 kW. The 

570 kW and associated summer energy 

of 932,451 kWh is being returned to the 

existing customers. The final power 

allocations are made in accordance with 

the Procedures and are shown in the 

table below.

The final power allocations shown in 

the table above are based on the LAP 

marketable resource currently available. 

If the LAP marketable resource is 

adjusted in the future, all allocations 

may be adjusted accordingly. Long-term 

firm energy with associated capacity 

made available for marketing because an 

allocation(s) has been reduced or 

withdrawn may be administratively 

reallocated by Western’s Administrator 

without further public process (Criteria 

Section V.C.3.). 

IV. Review Under the National 

Environmental Policy Act 

In compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321–4347); Council on 

Environmental Quality Regulations (40 

CFR parts 1500–1508); and DOE NEPA 

Regulations (10 CFR part 1021), Western 

has determined that this action is 

categorically excluded from preparing 

an environmental assessment or an 

environmental impact statement.

Title: Emissions Certification and 

Compliance Requirements for 

Locomotives and Locomotive Engines 

(Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1800.06, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0392. 

Abstract: Title II of the Clean Air Act 

(42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.) (CAA) charges 

EPA with issuing certificates of 

conformity for those engines that 

comply with applicable emission 

standards. Such a certificate must be 

issued before engines may be legally 

introduced into commerce. To apply for 

a certificate of conformity, 

manufacturers are required to submit 

descriptions of their planned 

production engines, including detailed 

descriptions of emission control systems 

and test data. There are also 

recordkeeping requirements. 

Manufacturers electing to participate in 

the Averaging, Banking and Trading 

Program are also required to submit 

information regarding the calculation, 

actual generation and usage of credits in 

an initial report, end-of-the-year report 

and final report. These reports are used 

for certification and enforcement 

purposes. The Act also mandates that 

EPA verify that manufacturers have 

successfully translated their certified 

prototypes into mass produced engines, 

and that these engines comply with 

emission standards throughout their 

useful lives. This is accomplished under 

the Production Line Testing (PLT) and 

In-use Testing Programs. Selective 

Enforcement Audits provide verification 

that test data submitted by engine 

manufacturers is reliable and testing is 

performed according to EPA regulations. 

Manufacturers must also keep records. 

This information is collected by the 

Heavy-Duty and Nonroad Engines 

Group (HDNEG), Compliance and 

Innovative Strategies Division (CISD), 

Office of Transportation and Air 

Quality, Office of Air and Radiation, 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. 

Besides CISD, this information could be 

used by the Office of Enforcement and 

Compliance Assurance and the 

Department of Justice for enforcement 

purposes. Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) is also disclosed in a 

public database and over the Internet. It 

is used by trade associations, 

environmental groups, and the public. 

The information is usually submitted in 

an electronic format, and it is stored in 

HDNEG’s certification database. It has 

been estimated that a total of 10 

locomotive and locomotive engine 

manufacturers and remanufacturers will 

respond to this collection with an 

approximate cost of $2,349,724. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 91 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: 

Entities potentially affected by these 

actions are manufacturers and 

remanufacturers of locomotives and 

locomotive engines. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

10. 

Frequency of Response: Annually, 

quarterly, and occasionally. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

21,129. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$2,349,724 includes $1,365,299 

annualized O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

slight decrease (159 hours) in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This decrease is due to 

changes in the estimated number of new 

applications EPA expects to receive 

during the next three years as opposed 

to carry over applications. 

Dated: July 16, 2009.
