In
many
cases,
the
utilities
had
previously
failed
to
file
Power
Marketer
Quarterly
Reports
(
the
predecessor
to
the
Electric
Quarterly
Reports).
7
Letter
informing
Abacus
Group
Ltd,
et
al.,
that
to
date
their
Electric
Quarterly
Reports
had
not
been
filed
and
requesting
that
the
reports
for
the
2nd,
3rd,
and
4th
quarters
of
2002,
et
al.,
be
filed
within
30
days
(
April
24,
2003).

These
public
utilities
appear
to
have
failed
to
update
their
addresses
with
the
Secretary
as
required
in
the
Commission's
regulations,
18
CFR
385.2010(
i)(
2)
(
2003).
In
some
cases,
they
may
have
gone
out
of
business
and
failed
to
file
a
Notice
of
Cancellation
of
their
electric
market­
based
rate
tariff
with
the
Commission.
See
18
CFR
35.15
(
2003).
3.
The
Commission
further
stated
that,
[
t]
he
Electric
Quarterly
Reports
are
designed
to
satisfy
the
FPA
section
205(
c)
requirements.
For
power
marketers,
the
Electric
Quarterly
Report
is
intended
to
replace
the
current
filing
of
Quarterly
Transaction
Reports
summarizing
their
market­
based
rate
transactions
and
the
filing
of
long­
term
agreements.
Electric
Quarterly
Reports
are
also
intended
to
replace
the
Quarterly
Transaction
Reports
and
rate
filings
required
of
traditional
utilities
with
market­
based
rate
authority.
Once
this
rule
becomes
effective,
the
requirement
to
comply
with
this
rule
will
supersede
the
conditions
in
public
utilities'
market­
based
rate
authorizations
and
failure
to
comply
with
the
requirements
of
this
rule
will
subject
public
utilities
to
the
same
consequences
they
would
face
for
not
satisfying
the
conditions
in
their
rate
authorizations,
including
possible
revocation
of
their
authority
to
make
wholesale
power
sales
at
market­
based
rates.

4.
Commission
staff
has
determined
that
a
number
of
public
utilities
that
had
been
granted
market­
based
rate
authority
have
failed
to
file
their
Electric
Quarterly
Reports.
6
Commission
staff
has
made
a
concerted
effort
to
contact
non­
filing
utilities
in
writing
and
by
phone
to
inform
them
of
their
regulatory
obligation.
Moreover,
on
April
24,
2003,
the
Secretary
of
the
Commission
sent
letters
to
423
companies
reminding
them
that
they
were
required
to
file
the
Electric
Quarterly
Report.
The
letters
stated:
[
w]
ithin
thirty
(
30)
days
of
the
date
of
this
letter,
your
company
utility
must
file
Electric
Quarterly
Reports
for
the
2nd,
3rd,
and
4th
Quarters
of
2002
and
the
1st
Quarter
of
2003.
Failure
to
do
so
may
result
in
the
Commission's
revocation
of
your
market­
based
rate
authority
in
accordance
with
Order
No.
2001.
*

Please
provide
your
immediate
attention
to
this
important
compliance
matter.

Each
of
the
public
utilities
listed
in
the
caption
of
this
order
was
sent
this
letter
but
none
of
them
responded.
In
some
cases,
the
letters
were
returned
unopened.
Commission
staff
called
the
contacts
identified
in
its
power
marketer
rolls
and
searched
Commission
records
and
the
Internet
to
identify
alternate
addresses
and
contacts.
Where
an
alternate
address
or
contact
could
be
identified,
a
second
letter
was
sent.
These
letters
also
received
no
response.

Notwithstanding
efforts
to
find
the
non­
filing
public
utilities
listed
in
the
caption
of
this
order
to
remind
them
of
their
filing
obligations,
they
have
not
complied
with
the
requirement
to
file
Electric
Quarterly
Reports.
7.
Accordingly,
the
market­
based
rate
authorizations
for
those
utilities
identified
in
the
caption
of
this
order
will
be
withdrawn
unless
they
comply
with
the
Commission's
requirements.

The
Commission
Orders
(
A)
Within
30
days
of
the
date
of
issuance
of
this
order,
each
public
utility
listed
in
the
caption
of
this
order
shall
file
its
Electric
Quarterly
Reports
for
the
2nd,
3rd,
and
4th
Quarters
of
2002
and
the
1st
and
2nd
Quarters
of
2003.
If
no
such
filings
are
made,
the
Commission
will
withdraw
the
public
utility's
authority
to
sell
power
at
market­
based
rates
and
terminate
its
electric
market­
based
rate
tariff.
(

The
Secretary
is
hereby
directed
to

Title:
NESHAP
for
Secondary
Aluminum
Production
(
40
CFR
part
63,
subpart
RRR),
EPA
ICR
Number
1894.04,
OMB
Control
Number
2060
 
0433.
Abstract:
The
National
Emission
Standards
for
Hazardous
Air
Pollutants
(
NESHAP)
for
the
regulations
published
at
40
CFR
part
63,
subpart
RRR,
were
proposed
on
February
11,
1999,
promulgated
on
March
23,
2002,
with
final
rule
amendments
published
on
December
30,
2002,
which
addressed
concerns
raised
from
two
settlements
and
other
amendments.
These
regulations
apply
to
component
processes
at
secondary
aluminum
production
plants
that
are
major
sources
and
area
sources
including
aluminum
scrap
shredders,
thermal
chip
dryers,
scrap
dryers/
delacquering
kilns/
decoating
kilns,
secondary
aluminum
processing
units
(
SAPUs)
composed
of
in­
line
fluxers
and
process
furnaces
(
including
both
melting
and
holding
furnaces
of
various
configurations),
sweat
furnaces,
dross­
only
furnaces,
and
rotary
dross
coolers,
commencing
construction,
or
reconstruction
after
the
date
of
proposal.
As
a
result
of
a
rule
amendment
in
2002,
owners
and
operators
of
certain
aluminum
die
casting
facilities,
aluminum
foundries,
and
aluminum
extrusion
facilities
were
excluded
from
the
rule
coverage.
Respondents
do
not
include
the
owner
or
operator
of
any
facility
that
is
not
a
major
source
of
(
Hazardous
Air
Pollutants)
HAP
emissions
except
for
those
that
are
area
sources
of
dioxin/
furan
emissions.
In
general,
all
NESHAP
standards
require
initial
notifications,
performance
tests,
and
periodic
reports.
Owners
or
operators
are
also
required
to
maintain
records
of
the
occurrence
and
duration
of
any
startup,
shutdown,
or
malfunction
in
the
operation
of
an
affected
facility,
or
any
period
during
which
the
monitoring
system
is
inoperative.
These
notifications,
reports,
and
records
are
essential
in
determining
compliance,
and
are
required
of
all
sources
subject
to
NESHAP.
Any
owner
or
operator
subject
to
the
provisions
of
this
part
shall
maintain
a
file
of
these
measurements,
and
retain
the
file
for
at
least
five
years
following
the
date
of
such
measurements,
maintenance
reports,
and
records.
All
reports
are
sent
to
the
delegated
State
or
local
authority.
In
the
event
that
there
is
no
such
delegated
authority,
the
reports
are
sent
directly
to
the
United
States
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
Regional
Office.
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
average
28
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;
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:
Component
processes
at
secondary
aluminum
production
plants
that
are
major
sources
and
area
sources
including
aluminum
scrap
shredders,
thermal
chip
dryers,
scrap
dryers/
delacquering
kilns/
decoating
kilns,
secondary
aluminum
processing
units
composed
of
in­
line
fluxers
and
process
furnaces
(
including
both
melting
and
holding
furnaces
of
various
configurations),
sweat
furnaces,
drossonly
furnaces,
and
rotary
dross
coolers
Estimated
Number
of
Respondents:
1,640.
Frequency
of
Response:
initial,
semiannual
and
on
occasion.
Estimated
Total
Annual
Hour
Burden:
94,998
hours.
Estimated
Total
Capital
and
Operations
&
Maintenance
(
O
&
M)
Annual
Costs:
$
230,550
which
includes
$
88,800
annualized
capital/
startup
costs
and
$
141,750
annual
O&
M
costs.
Changes
in
the
Estimates:
There
is
a
decrease
of
25,230
hours
in
the
total
estimated
burden
currently
identified
in
the
OMB
Inventory
of
Approved
ICR
Burdens.
This
decrease
in
burden
is
due
to
a
decrease
in
the
number
of
existing
major
sources
from
86
to
81
and
the
assumption
that
existing
sources
already
comply
with
the
initial
requirements
of
the
rule.
In
addition,
although
we
expect
an
increase
of
approximately
5
percent
in
the
number
of
new
sweat
furnaces
(
74)
during
the
next
three
years,
based
on
information
from
manufacturers,
the
burden
associated
with
this
increase
will
be
offset
by
a
decrease
of
approximately
10
percent
in
the
number
of
existing
sweat
furnaces
(
149)
which
are
anticipated
to
close
due
to
no
longer
being
economically
viable.
New
sources
(
i.
e.,
sweat
furnaces)
will
be
subject
only
to
the
dioxins/
furans
requirements
of
the
rule
which
also
accounts
for
a
reduction
in
the
monitoring,
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements.
