In an order issued on June 18, 2004, the Commission acted on matters remanded to it by the court in *City of Tacoma, WA, et al.* v. *FERC,* 331 F.3d 106 (D.C. Cir. 2003). The court concluded that the Commission is required to determine the reasonableness of costs incurred by other Federal agencies

(OFAs)related to the participation of those agencies in the Commission's proceedings under Federal Power Act

(FPA)Part I 1 when those agencies seek to include such costs in the administrative annual charges licensees must pay to reimburse the United States for the cost of administering Part I. 2 The court also remanded to the Commission issues regarding the eligibility of specific types of OFA costs for reimbursement, and issues regarding the availability of refunds for certain charges. 1 16 U.S.C. 794-823b. 2 The OFAs are the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Bureau of Land Management, the Bureau of Reclamation, the National Park Service, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (all in the Department of the Interior); the Corps of Engineers (in the Department of the Army); the U.S. Forest Service (in the Department of Agriculture); and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (in the Department of Commerce). 2. The June 18 order determined which OFA costs are eligible to be included in administrative annual charges. It also established procedures for Commission review of future OFA cost submittals and those currently under appeal. Finally, it introduced a new form for such cost submittals and announced that a technical conference would be held for the purpose of finalizing the proposed form, so that it can be used in the Commission's consideration of OFA cost submittals on appeal and prospectively. The form was attached to the order and is posted on the Commission's Web site. 3 3 *http://www.ferc.gov/.* 3. The Comission will hold a technical conference on the new form for submittal of OFA Part I-related costs. The purpose of the conference will be for OFAs and licensees to obtain any needed clarification regarding the format and content requirements of the form, and to make any recommendations for improvement of the form in that regard. The conference will not consider any issues pertaining to requests for rehearing of the June 18 Order. 4. The Conference will be held on July 1, 2004, in Hearing Room 6 at the Commission's headquarters at 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC. The conference will begin at 9 a.m. (e.s.t). An agenda may be viewed on the Commission's website by June 25, 2004. 5. The technical conference will also be transcribed. Those interested in obtaining a copy of the transcript immediately for a fee should contact the Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc., at 202-347-3700, or 1-800-336-6646.

EPA's policy is that public comments, whether submitted electronically or in paper, will be made available for public viewing in EDOCKET as EPA receives them and without change, unless the comment contains copyrighted material, CBI, or other information whose public disclosure is restricted by statute. When EPA identifies a comment containing copyrighted material, EPA will provide a reference to that material in the version of the comment that is placed in EDOCKET. The entire printed comment, including the copyrighted material, will be available in the public docket. Although identified as an item in the official docket, information claimed as CBI, or whose disclosure is otherwise restricted by statute, is not included in the official public docket, and will not be available for public viewing in EDOCKET. For further information about the electronic docket, see EPA's **Federal Register** notice describing the electronic docket at 67 *FR* 38102 (May 31, 2002), or go to *http://www.epa.gov/edocket.* *Affected entities:* Entities potentially affected by this action are a broad brush of State/Federal/ environmental groups, private environmental/health agencies, academic partners/institutions and research bodies, both private and public. This is inclusive of but not limited to specialities in the areas of ecology, genetics, chemistry , geology, hydrology, economics, sociology, psychology, political science, statistics, information, GIS, and health science, public health, medical and veterinary science, pharmacology, toxicology. *Title:* Inventory Of Environmental Public Health Bio monitoring Programs And Health Surveillance Databases For The Mid Atlantic Region. *Abstract:* The overarching theme/rationale of the project is to improve the linkages between human health and environmental conditions in the Mid Atlantic Region. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is working with Federal/State/local and academic partners to produce an online interactive, spatial inventory of public health bio monitoring databases within environmental programs and health surveillance databases for the Mid Atlantic region. Data identified by the inventory will contribute to the Mid Atlantic Integrated Assessment

(MAIA)experimental research and monitoring effort that links human health and environmental condition and will build upon the success of the MAIA regional scale geographic assessment of ecological condition. The efforts will combine many scientific disciplines including ecology , chemistry, geology, hydrology, economics, sociology, psychology, political science, statistics, informatics, GIS, and health science ( *e.g.* , public health, medical and veterinary science, pharmacology, toxicology, etc) in an effort to study the effects of the changed environment upon humans. Data is to be collected by the individual interview (either in person or by phone calls) on an unpaid voluntary basis. The data in the inventory will be available electronically and on the Internet for use by a variety of resource managers, regulators, the scientific community and the informed public. The data will allow the user to identify the location, purpose, agency/institution participation, parameter characteristics (type, frequency, format) and data disposition for each inventoried program. The inventory will contain information on program design, program administration, and specific meta-data on parameters that are monitored on environmental health. It will not include any personal information or any confidential information. 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 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9. The EPA would like to solicit comments to:

(i)Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;

(ii)enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

(iii)minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, *e.g.* , permitting electronic submission of responses. *Burden Statement:* The number of respondents will average some 75-85 respondents from multiple sources inclusive of public/private/State/Federal and independent groups for issues of broad national interest within public health and environmental bio-monitoring areas. It is estimated to average 1 hour per respondent for completion of the survey tool, which is voluntary. Frequency of this burden is only once until the surveillance program is reorganized or altered. The total cost of the start-up, capital, O & M should average approximately $2,000.00. The survey tools are administered individually to each respondent, thus there are no postage costs incurred or other related expenses for the respondents within the survey sample to be pooled. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by person 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; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. Dated: June 7, 2004. Steve Hedtke, Acting Director, National Health Environmental Effects Research Laboratory. [FR Doc. 04-14607 Filed 6-25-04; 8:45 am]
