EY04-95-14-000, RM01-10-000, PL05-12-000] Standards of Conduct for Transmission Providers; Extension of Non-Statutory Deadlines; Notice Granting Extension of Time To Comply With Posting and Other Requirements August 31, 2005. Hurricane Katrina has created emergency conditions in the Gulf Coast area of the United States. Section 358.4(a)(2) of the Commission's Standards of Conduct regulations allows transmission providers to “take whatever steps are necessary to keep the system[s] in operation” notwithstanding any of the other requirements. 18 CFR 358.4(a)(2) (2005). Section 358.4(a)(2) also provides: “Transmission Providers must report to the Commission and post on the OASIS or Internet Web site, as applicable, each emergency that resulted in any deviation from the standards of conduct, within 24 hours of such deviation.” As a result of the emergency, the Commission will allow affected transmission providers to delay compliance with the section 358.4(a)(2) reporting requirement until September 30, 2005. In addition, pursuant to section 385.2008 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.2008 (2005), the Commission finds good cause to extend, until September 30, 2005, non-statutory deadlines that occur before that date for participants in proceedings pending before the Commission who need such extensions on account of Hurricane Katrina.

(202)566-0270. An electronic version of the public docket is available through EPA Dockets (EDOCKET) at *http://www.epa.gov/edocket.* Use EDOCKET to obtain a copy of the draft collection of information, submit or view public comments, access the index listing of the contents of the public docket, and to access those documents in the public docket that are available electronically.

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 *www.epa.gov./edocket.* *Affected entities:* Business or other for profit. *Title:* General Hazardous Waste Facility Standards. *Abstract:* Section 3004 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, requires that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA)develop standards for hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) as may be necessary to protect human health and the environment. Subsections 3004(a)(1), (3), (4), (5), and

(6)specify that these standards include, but not be limited to, the following requirements: Maintaining records of all hazardous wastes identified or listed under subtitle C that are treated, stored, or disposed of, and the manner in which such wastes were treated, stored, or disposed of; • Operating methods, techniques, and practices for treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste; • Location, design, and construction of such hazardous waste treatment, disposal, or storage facilities; • Contingency plans for effective action to minimize unanticipated damage from any treatment, storage, or disposal of any such hazardous waste; and • Maintaining or operating such facilities and requiring such additional qualifications as to ownership, continuity of operation, training for personnel, and financial responsibility as may be necessary or desirable. • The regulations implementing these requirements are codified in the Code of Federal Regulations

(CFR)Title 40, parts 264 and 265. The collection of this information enables EPA to properly determine whether owners/operators or hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities meet the requirements of Section 3004(a) of RCRA. 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)Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

(iii)Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

(iv)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 annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 319 hours per response. *Respondents/Affected Entities:* Business or other for profit. *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 1,675. *Frequency of Response:* On occasion. *Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:* 719,059. *Estimated Total Annualized Capital, Operating/ Maintenance Cost Burden:* $760,000. 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. Dated: September 1, 2005. Matthew Hale, Director, Office of Solid Waste. [FR Doc. 05-17818 Filed 9-7-05; 8:45 am]
