The
post­
forum
meeting
and
drafting
sessions
are
not
intended
to
address
issues
pending
in
individually
docketed
hydropower
cases
before
the
Commission.
Therefore,
all
participants
are
requested
to
address
the
agenda
topics
and
avoid
discussing
the
merits
of
individual
proceedings.
The
goal
of
the
one­

is
for
Commission
staff
to:
(
1)
Summarize
comments
received
at
the
public
forums
conducted
throughout
the
country
in
October
and
November
and;
(
2)
discuss
general
issues
associated
with
a
rulemaking
effort
such
as
retention
of
the
Traditional
and/
or
the
Alternative
Licensing
Processes.
The
goal
of
the
two­
day
post­
forum
drafting
session
is
to
provide
stakeholders
with
an
opportunity
to
participate
in
drafting
concepts
and
language
for
a
new
integrated
licensing
process.
All
interested
persons
are
invited
to
attend
these
activities,
however,
persons
wishing

participate
in
the

Title:
Survey
of
Air
Quality
Issues
After
September
11,
2001
(
EPA
ICR
Number
2094.01
).
This
is
a
request
for
a
new
collection.
Abstract:
The
purpose
of
this
ICR
is
to
obtain
information,
through
use
of
a
public
survey,
about
the
impact
of
government
communications
regarding
air
quality
concerns
associated
with
the
collapse
of
the
World
Trade
Center
towers
on
September
11,
2001.
This
ICR
represents
one
component
of
a
larger
evaluation
of
EPA's
response
to
air
quality
concerns
associated
with
the
collapse
of
the
World
Trade
Center
towers.
The
survey
will
be
distributed
to
randomly
selected
individuals
residing
in
the
five
boroughs
of
New
York
City.
Persons
residing
in
New
York
City
are
hereafter
referred
to
as
``
the
public.''
Data
generated
from
the
questionnaire
will
provide
information
regarding
the
public's
perception
of
the
adequacy
of
the
information
it
received
about
air
quality,
the
public's
interpretation
of
the
air
quality
information
it
received,
and
actions
taken
by
the
public
based
on
the
air
quality
information
received.
Findings
from
the
questionnaire
in
these
three
areas
can
be
used
to
improve
the
way
information
about
air
quality
is
disseminated
during
times
of
future
emergency
and/
or
disaster.
Findings
will
be
useful
not
only
to
EPA,
but
to
any
agency
seeking
to
improve
the
effectiveness
of
its
emergency
and/
or
disaster
mitigation,
response,
and
recovery
activities.
In
some
instances,
it
may
be
possible
to
use
the
data
to
inform
future
emergency
and/
or
disaster
response
techniques
in
other
cities.
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
are
listed
in
40
CFR
part
9
and
48
CFR
chapter
15,
and
are
identified
on
the
form
and/
or
instrument,
if
applicable.
Burden
Statement:
The
annual
public
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burden
for
this
collection
of
information
is
estimated
to

Burden
means
the
total
time,
effort,
or
financial
resources
expended
by
persons
to
generate,
maintain,

to
or

a
Federal
agency.
This
includes
the

purposes
of

SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION:
The
Act
affords
EPA
a
45­
day
period
to
review
and,
as
appropriate,
object
to
operating
permits
proposed
by
state
permitting
authorities
under
title
V
of
the
Act,
42
U.
S.
C.

7661f.
Section
505(
b)(
2)
of
the
Act
and
40
CFR
70.8(
d)
authorize
any
person
to
petition
the
EPA
Administrator
to
object
to
a
title
V
operating
permit
within
60
days
after
the
expiration
of
EPA's
45­
day
review
period
if
EPA
has
not
objected
on
its
own
initiative.
Petitions
must
be
based
only
on
objections
to
the
permit
that
were
raised
with
reasonable
specificity
during
the
public
comment
period
provided
by
the
state,
unless
the
petitioner
demonstrates
that
it
was
impracticable
to
raise
these
issues
during
the
comment
period
or
the
grounds
for
the
issues
arose
after
this
period.
GCLPI
submitted
a
petition
on
behalf
of
the
Sierra
Club
to
the
Administrator
on
November
14,
2001,
requesting
that
EPA
object
to
a
state
title
V
operating
permit
issued
by
EPD
to
Monroe
Power.
The
Petitioner
maintains
that
the
Monroe
Power
permit
is
inconsistent
with
the
Act
because
of:
(
1)
The
inadequacy
of
the
public
participation
process
and
related
public
notice;
(
2)
the
permit's
apparent
limitation
of
enforcement
authority
and
credible
evidence;
(
3)
the
inadequacy
of
the
monitoring
and
reporting
requirements;
(
4)
the
permit's
exclusion
of
startups,
shutdowns,
and
malfunctions;
and
(
5)
the
incompleteness
of
permit
itself.
On
October
9,
2002,
the
Administrator
issued
an
order
denying
this
petition.
The
order
explains
the
reasons
behind
EPA's
conclusion
that
the
Petitioner
has
failed
to
demonstrate
that
the
Monroe
Power
permit
is
not
in
compliance
with
VerDate
