(701)530-1560. Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9, within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either: complete its environmental assessment
(EA)and place it into the Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of the final environmental impact statement
(FEIS)or EA for this proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA. There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by becoming a party to the proceeding for this project should, on or before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders in the proceeding. However, a person does not have to intervene to have comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project. The Commission will consider these comments in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly involved in the protest. Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of this project, should submit an original and two copies of their comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings associated with the Commission's environmental review process. Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on all other parties. The Commission's rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project provide copies of their protests only to the applicant. However, the non-party commenters will not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court review of the commission's final order. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, protests, and interventions via the internet in lieu of paper; see 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site under the “e-Filing” link. *Comment Date:* May 9, 2007.

E7-7869 Filed 4-24-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Western Area Power Administration Notice of Proposed Final Resource Adequacy Plan for Transactions in the California Independent System Operator Corporation's Balancing Authority Area AGENCY: Western Area Power Administration, DOE. ACTION: Notice of proposed final resource adequacy plan. SUMMARY: The Western Area Power Administration (Western) is conducting a public process to propose a Final Resource Adequacy
(RA)Plan for transactions in the California Independent System Operator Corporation's (CAISO) Balancing Authority Area. Pending the development of this Final RA Plan, Western has established interim RA Plans to facilitate its transactions in the CAISO Balancing Authority Area. Western is developing this proposed Final RA Plan as a Local Regulatory Authority (LRA). The Final RA Plan implemented by Western will be submitted to the CAISO and will be utilized by Western when Western is acting as a Load Serving Entity
(LSE)in the CAISO Balancing Authority Area. Western's Current RA Plan became effective on September 30, 2006, and will remain in effect until superseded by the Final RA Plan developed in this process. DATES: The consultation and comment period will begin on the date of publication of this **Federal Register** notice and will end on May 25, 2007. Western will present a detailed explanation of the proposed Final RA Plan at a public information forum on May 2, 2007, 1:30 p.m. PDT, Rancho Cordova, CA. Western will hold a public comment forum on May 9, 2007, 1:30 p.m. PDT, Rancho Cordova, CA. At the public comment forum, the public may provide oral and written comments. In addition, the public may submit written comments to Western at any time during the comment period. Western must receive all comments by the close of the comment period to ensure they are considered. After the Administrator approves the Final RA Plan, it is anticipated that it will go into effect on July 17, 2007. ADDRESSES: Western will hold the public information and comment forums at the Marriott, 11211 Point East Drive, Rancho Cordova, CA. Written comments can be mailed, faxed, or e-mailed to Ms. Sonja A. Anderson, Acting Power Marketing Manager, Sierra Nevada Region, Western Area Power Administration, 114 Parkshore Drive, Folsom, CA 95630-4710, fax

(916)353-4438, e-mail *haas@wapa.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Authorities Western is developing this proposed Final RA Plan in accordance with its power marketing authorities, which includes the Act of June 17, 1902 (32 Stat. 388), the Act of August 26, 1937 (50 Stat. 844), the Act of August 4, 1939 (53 Stat. 1187), and the Department of Energy Organization Act of August 4, 1977 (91 Stat. 565), including all acts amendatory and/or supplementary to the above listed. Background On February 9, 2006, the CAISO filed its comprehensive Market Redesign Technology Upgrade
(MRTU)Tariff with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission). 1 Under the MRTU Tariff, the CAISO proposed to end the current “must offer” structure and transition to a capacity-based system. In this capacity-based system, the California Public Utilities Commission
(CPUC)and other LRAs establish procurement requirements for all LSEs within their jurisdiction to obtain sufficient resources to meet their load with an adequate reserve margin and to ensure appropriate resources will be made available to the CAISO in the Day-Ahead Market, the Hour-Ahead Scheduling Process, and Real-Time Market. 2 1 FERC Docket ER06-615 (2006). 2 See Article V, Section 40 of the CAISO's Tariff. On March 13, 2006, the CAISO filed its Interim Reliability Requirements Program (IRRP). On May 12, 2006, the Commission issued an order accepting certain modifications under the IRRP in Docket No. ER06-723-000. 3 The modifications established under the IRRP are intended to implement RA programs developed by the CPUC and other LRAs for LSEs under their respective jurisdictions. Section 40 of the IRRP and the MRTU Tariff provide the guidelines for RA. The IRRP adjusts the CAISO's existing operations to incorporate RA programs implemented by the CPUC and other LRAs for the period between June 2006 and the implementation of MRTU. 4 3 115 FERC ¶ 61,172 (2006). 4 Id. at paragraph 6. In the Commission's September 21, 2006, decision in Docket No. ER-06-615-000, which in large part accepted and affirmed the CAISO's proposed MRTU Tariff, the Commission summarized the CAISO's RA program as follows: Resource adequacy is the availability of an adequate supply of generation or demand responsive resources to support safe and reliable operation of the transmission grid. Until June 2006, the CAISO market did not require load serving entities to procure sufficient generation capacity to serve their customers. The lack of this requirement jeopardized reliability and made it difficult to ensure that wholesale prices would remain just and reasonable. Under MRTU, load serving entities under the authority of the California Public Utilities Commission will be required to obey its requirement to maintain a level of capacity above load-serving entities' forecasted customer needs (currently 15-17 percent). They will also have to demonstrate a year in advance that they have procured resources to cover 90 percent of their summer (May through September) peak period needs. Other load serving entities that are CAISO members and serve customers in the CAISO control are required to comply with the planning reserve margin for capacity that is set by their Local Regulatory Authority. If the Local Regulatory Authority does not establish such a margin, the default margin will be 15 percent. These resource adequacy requirements will help ensure sufficient supply, enhance reliability, protect against price volatility, and reduce the opportunities to game the market that exist when electricity supplies are insufficient to meet customers' needs. 5 5 116 FERC ¶ 61,274
(2006)at paragraph 10. In Paragraph 1116 of the same decision, the Commission concluded that meeting the MRTU RA requirements is a reasonable condition of participation in the CAISO markets and required that each LSE serving load within the CAISO-controlled grid maintain adequate resources and not “lean on” others to the detriment of its customers and grid reliability as a whole. Under the current schedule, the MRTU is not expected to be implemented before February 2008. Under both the IRRP and MRTU Tariffs, Western is an LRA. To ensure non-discriminatory treatment for transactions in the CAISO Balancing Authority Area, Western, as an LRA, established an interim RA Plan comprised of an Initial RA Plan and its Current RA Plan. Western's Current RA Plan can be found at *http://www.wapa.gov/sn/marketing/racapacity.asp.* However, due to the short time frame between the acceptance of the CAISO's IRRP and its effective date, Western was unable to conduct a public process before implementing its interim RA Plans. 6 6 The Commission accepted the filing on May 12, 2006, with an effective date of May 12, 2006. Under this notice, Western is initiating a public process to develop its Final RA Plan. As part of this process, Western is soliciting input from its customers and interested parties. The schedule for this process is outlined above. The Final RA Plan will be applicable under both the IRRP and MRTU Tariff.

The criteria for determining the types of resources that are eligible to provide Qualifying Capacity may be established by the CPUC, other applicable Local Regulatory Authority and provided to the CAISO, or the default provision in Section 40.13 of this ISO Tariff. *Reclamation:* United States Department of Interior, the Bureau of Reclamation. *SC:* Scheduling Coordinator—As defined by the CAISO Tariff: An entity certified by the ISO for the purposes of undertaking the functions specified in Section 4.5.3 of the ISO Tariff. *Western:* United States Department of Energy, the Western Area Power Administration. Development of RA Plans As described above, the CAISO has established guidelines for RA and RA Capacity, which LSEs must meet for transactions in the CAISO Balancing Authority Area. Both the IRRP and MRTU Tariff acknowledge that Western, as an LRA, may establish its own RA Plan. 7 7 See, *e.g.* , Section 40.4 of MRTU Tariff, Section 40.5 of IRRP Tariff. Western understands that the California State Legislature enacted Assembly Bill
(AB)380 to require the CPUC, in consultation with the CAISO, to establish RA requirements for all LSEs under the CPUC's jurisdiction. 8 AB 380 requires LSEs subject to the CPUC's jurisdiction to procure adequate resources to meet their peak demands, planning, and operating reserves. 9 The State requires LSEs subject to the CPUC's jurisdiction to demonstrate that they have acquired sufficient capacity to serve their forecasted retail customer load and a 15-17 percent margin. As a Federal agency, Western is not subject to the State's jurisdiction. 8 115 FERC ¶ 61,172 at paragraph 4. 9 Id. Western has reviewed these guidelines, the Commission's decisions, and considered Federal and industry standards and guidelines related to reliable operations of power systems. Western prepared both an Initial RA Plan and a Current RA Plan based on the guidelines and direction provided by the Commission, the IRRP, and the MRTU Tariff, which conform to Western's practices from an operational, contractual, and statutory framework. There are several distinct factors related specifically to the way that Western conducts its business that influenced Western's preparation of its RA Plans. Both the Initial RA Plan and the Current RA Plan contain detailed information on the factors that went into Western's development of those RA Plans. As stated in the Summary section of this **Federal Register** notice, the Current RA Plan will remain in effect until superseded by the Final RA Plan developed in this process. Western provides as part of this **Federal Register** notice, the pertinent factors that influenced Western's preparation of its Initial RA Plan and its Current RA Plan. The United States CVP hydro facilities are operated by Reclamation. The CVP Act, as amended, integrates the various CVP facilities. The CVP is operated primarily to meet authorized project purposes that have a higher priority than power generation, such as irrigation and flood control. These purposes are determined by Federal law. Western's flexibility to modify generation schedules and ancillary service availability is limited by these and other related constraints. Congress authorized the Pacific Northwest-Southwest Alternating Current Intertie
(PACI)to firm the CVP and authorized the California-Oregon Transmission Project
(COTP)to support the DOE Laboratories and other Federal uses in the State of California. 10 Western imports power into its sub Balancing Authority Area over the PACI, COTP, and other Federal transmission facilities. In northern California, Western markets power from a dozen Federal dams including those in the Federal CVP under its 2004 Power Marketing Plan (Marketing Plan). Under the Marketing Plan, Western executed the majority of its power sales contracts with its statutory preference and First Preference Customers in late 1999 and early 2000. In northern California, Western has established a contract-based sub Balancing Authority Area within the Sacramento Municipal Utility District
(SMUD)Balancing Authority Area. Unlike many LSEs Western serves a diverse group of customers in northern California, including large municipal utilities such as SMUD, the City of Redding, and the City of Santa Clara, as well as smaller irrigation districts, Native American Indian Tribes, and Federal and State agencies. These customers are located within the CAISO Balancing Authority Area, the Turlock Irrigation District Balancing Authority Area, the SMUD Balancing Authority Area, and Western's own sub Balancing Authority Area. Many of Western's customers are wholesale customers who are LSEs for their own customers. Other Western customers receive power from both Western and another utility, such as the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). Under Western's Marketing Plan, and from a contractual standpoint, Western serves its loads in the CAISO Balancing Authority Area from its sub Balancing Authority Area. The statutes and Marketing Plan referenced above are not within the scope of this public process, and reference to the statutes and Marketing Plan are only being included as a background for the development of Western's RA Plans. Within this framework, Western developed its RA Plans. Western refers interested parties to the Current RA Plan for a more thorough analysis of the background for the development of Western's Current RA Plan. 10 Pub. L. No. 88-552, 78 Stat. 756 (1964), as amended; Pub. L. No. 98-360, 98 Stat. 403 (1984), as amended, 50 Stat. 844 (1937), as amended. Although not specifically stated in Western's Current RA Plan, Western has procured its RA Capacity under both the Initial RA Plan and the Current RA Plan from qualifying resources either inside or outside of the CAISO Balancing Authority Area. These RA Capacity purchases meet CAISO Tariff, Section 40, requirements. Western will include in its Final RA Plan a statement that Western may continue to procure its RA Capacity using qualifying resources either inside or outside the CAISO Balancing Authority Area that meet CAISO Tariff, Section 40, requirements. For imports, Western will reserve firm transmission to the tie point on Western's transmission system to assure delivery compliance. Western believes this proposed addition to the Current RA Plan is consistent with the CAISO's proposed guidelines for meeting RA Capacity requirements. In addition, Western proposes to use LD Contracts to meet its RA Capacity requirements. By allowing LD Contracts to be used, this gives Western a second option to meet its RA Capacity requirements. Western is unable to use the CVP hydroelectric facilities in the SMUD Balancing Authority Area to meet RA Capacity requirements because, in contrast to other utilities and non-jurisdictional LSEs in California, Western must follow Federal directives in its marketing and operations. The CVP hydroelectric facilities are owned by Reclamation and operated primarily to meet authorized project purposes that have a higher priority than power generation. Western's flexibility to modify generation schedules and ancillary service availability is limited by these and other related constraints. The customers that are located in the CAISO Balancing Authority Area for which the RA Capacity will be procured include Western's Full Load Service Customers, Western's four First Preference Customers, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Ames (NASA Ames) Research Center, and a subset of Reclamation's Project Use Customers. Collectively, these loads are projected to have a monthly peak demand of between 280 MW and 350 MW during the October 2006 through December 2007 period. The RA Capacity procured meets the collective requirements of this pool of customers. The table below shows the monthly amounts of RA Capacity that have been procured for the period October 2006 through December 2007. Table 1.—RA Capacity Procured and Suppliers for October 2006 Through December 2007 Month RA capacity

August 36 Coral. September 36 Coral. October 16 PG&E. November 16 PG&E. December 16 PG&E. If, as a result of this process, Western's procurement of RA Capacity is modified, such modification will be reflected in the Final RA Plan that Western will supply to the CAISO. Western's RA Plans Initial RA Plan The CAISO, under Section 40 of both the IRRP and the MRTU Tariff, established the guidelines for RA for LSEs for transactions in the CAISO Balancing Authority Area. The Commission's May 12, 2006, IRRP Order accepted the CAISO proposal to utilize the CPUC's default criteria of 15-17 percent RA Capacity for entities subject to the CPUC's jurisdiction. In that same Order, the Commission acknowledged that other LRAs may develop their own RA Plans. 11 The CAISO required a filing by May 22, 2006, for the June 2006 RA Capacity. 11 115 FERC ¶ 61,172 at paragraph 53. Western reviewed these guidelines, the Commission's decisions, and considered Federal and industry standards and guidelines related to reliable operations of power systems. Based on these criteria, Western, as a CPUC non-jurisdictional LRA, prepared an Initial RA Plan for Western's transactions in the CAISO Balancing Authority Area and submitted it to the CAISO on May 19, 2006. The RA Capacity standards in the Initial RA Plan were as follows: For purposes of this LRA Plan, Western will phase in its Planning Reserve Margin requirements, as defined in the CAISO Tariff, as follows: Operative date Planning reserve margin (percent) October 1, 2006 5 February 1, 2007 10 June 1, 2007 15 For its month-ahead showing, Western will demonstrate that it is prepared to meet 100 percent of its forecasted monthly coincident peak load. Consistent with its Initial RA Plan, Western issued a Request for Proposal
(RFP)for RA Capacity and procured sufficient capacity on August 29, 2006, to meet its 5-percent requirement for October through December 2006. Current RA Plan In its September 21, 2006, decision, the Commission stated: Other Load serving entities that are CAISO members and serve customers in the CAISO control area are required to comply with the planning reserve margin for capacity that is set by their LRA. If the LRA does not establish such a margin, the default margin will be 15 percent. 12 12 116 FERC ¶ 61,274 at para. 10. After reviewing the Commission's September 21, 2006, decision, Western revised its Initial RA Plan in September 2006 to modify its Planning Reserve Margin. In its Current RA Plan, Western opted to provide 10-percent RA Capacity June through September and 5-percent RA Capacity in all other months. The Current RA Plan provides as follows: Consistent with the CAISO Tariff, Western will make a year-ahead showing that it has a minimum of 90 percent of the capacity required to meet its forecasted monthly coincident peak load in the CAISO Control Area, as determined by Western, plus its Planning Reserve Margin. Under the CAISO IRRP approach, the Planning Reserve Margin is a percentage of firm capacity over the demand forecast available to the CAISO to meet reserve requirements. Western has determined that for the purposes of this LRA Plan, it will provide capacity to the CAISO consistent with the CAISO's planning reserve criteria as follows: Operative months Planning reserve capacity (percent) June-September 10 January-May & October-December 5 For its month-ahead showing, Western will demonstrate that it is prepared to meet 100 percent of its forecasted monthly coincident peak load. Western has further determined that it will conduct a public process to provide its customers and other interested parties the opportunity to provide input to Western with regard to the amount and character of RA Capacity it will provide in the future. Consistent with the Current RA Plan, Western issued an RFP for RA Capacity and procured sufficient capacity on September 28, 2006, to meet the above requirement for calendar year
(CY)2007. Other notable provisions of Western's Current RA Plan are: 1. Western has designated CVP hydroelectric facilities in the SMUD Balancing Authority Area as a system resource, with 100 percent of forecasted capacity considered to be Qualifying Capacity. The amount of Qualifying Capacity for each month is determined utilizing Western's rolling 12-month forecast at a 50-percent probability of exceedance for the appropriate month. Imports of CVP generation into the CAISO Balancing Authority Area are firm, backed by operating reserves as required by the Western Electricity Coordinating Council
(WECC)and the North American Electric Reliability Council
(NERC)standards. Western will not make CVP capacity available to the CAISO for scheduling in the Day-Ahead or Real-Time markets for RA purposes due to specific Federal statutes, regulations, and policies which Western must follow in its marketing and operations processes. 2. Western has designated 100 percent of its contract deliveries (existing and future LD Contracts) as Qualifying Capacity. Proposed Final RA Plan Western proposes that beginning in 2008 and beyond, Western will continue to follow the procedures and standards identified in the Current RA Plan. However, Western proposes the following two modifications to the Current RA Plan: 1. Western will procure RA Capacity from qualifying resources either inside or outside of the CAISO Balancing Authority Area. In order to qualify, a resource must meet CAISO Tariff, Section 40, requirements, and for imports, Western will reserve firm transmission to the tie point on Western's transmission system to assure delivery compliance. 2. Western is proposing that it may opt to designate some of its contract deliveries (existing and future LD Contracts) as RA Capacity. These contracts are backed by reserves in the originating Balancing Authority Area and are, therefore, considered firm. Western has existing firm transmission rights on the PACI and COTP for contracts originating in the Northwest, and the remaining contracts have delivery points in North Path 15 (NP15), which are firmed by the CAISO or self provided by the supplier under CAISO Tariff guidelines. Western, as an LRA, will file its Final RA Plan with the CAISO. When Western acts as an LSE for transactions in the CAISO Balancing Authority Area, Western will comply with its Final RA Plan. Request for Comments The Final RA Plan adopts Western's Current RA Plan with the addition of the two items described above. Western seeks input from interested stakeholders on the Current RA Plan as it will be incorporated into the Final RA Plan. Western's Current RA Plan can be found at: *http://www.wapa.gov/sn/marketing/racapacity.asp.* You may also request a copy of the Current RA Plan by

(2)e-mailing a request to *haas@wapa.gov* ; or
(3)telephoning a request to Ms. Jeanne Haas at
(916)353-4438. As part of this proceeding, Western requests comments on its proposed Final RA Plan. The comments must be within the scope of this proceeding. Western is asking for specific comments on the following: Types of Resources for RA Capacity An LRA has discretion on the type of resource to use to provide RA Capacity. Section 40 of the CAISO Tariff allows an LRA to provide its own criteria for determining qualifying resource types and the Qualifying Capacity from such resources. In addition, Section 40 of the MRTU Tariff has an additional requirement not prescribed in the IRRP Tariff. Under the MRTU Tariff, LRAs must also consider Local Capacity Area Resources requirements (Local RAR) to be made available to the CAISO. The CAISO has stated in Section 40.3.1 of the MRTU Tariff that the CAISO will collaborate with the CPUC, LRAs within the CAISO Balancing Authority Area, and other market participants to establish the parameters, assumptions, and other criteria to be used and described in the technical study that permit compliance with Applicable Reliability Criteria. For Local RAR requirements, Western has completed an analysis of its loads and concluded that a minimal amount of Western CAISO loads may be subject to additional charges associated with this requirement. Given the size of these loads and the limited exposure to costs, Western is not anticipating the need to procure local RA Capacity associated with this requirement. Western will continue to monitor the Local RAR process as new information becomes available to determine if this approach needs to be revisited. In its May 12, 2006, Order in Docket No. ER06-723-000, the Commission stated “WAPA, as an LRA, can determine the extent to which liquidated damages contracts count toward its RA requirements.” 13 Western, as an LRA, has submitted both an Initial RA Plan and its Current RA Plan with its own standards for meeting its Qualifying Capacity requirements including its RA Capacity standards, which have been provided to the CAISO. 13 115 FERC ¶ 61,172 at para. 98. Congress authorized the construction of both the PACI and the COTP so Western could import power from the Pacific Northwest. Currently, Western imports this power into its sub Balancing Authority Area. Included in the power Western imports are LD Contracts. Western further notes that LD contracts are backed by reserves in the originating Balancing Authority Area and are, therefore, considered firm. Western has existing transmission rights on the PACI and the COTP for the contracts originating in the Northwest, and the remaining contracts have delivery points in NP15, which are firmed by the CAISO or self provided by the supplier under CAISO Tariff guidelines. Western proposes to include the following as RA Capacity resources: 1. LD Contracts with firm transmission to a tie point if it is an import. 2. RA Capacity procured from qualifying resources either inside or outside the CAISO Balancing Authority Area. In order to qualify, a resource must meet CAISO Tariff, Section 40, requirements, and for imports, Western will reserve firm transmission to the tie point on Western's system to assure delivery compliance. Western requests comments on the inclusion of these resources, if other resources should be included, or whether certain resources listed above should be excluded. After considering the comments received during this process, Western will establish a final list of types of resources which, as an LRA, Western will include as part of its Final RA Plan. As part of this proceeding, Western requests comments on the types of RA Capacity, including Local RAR that Western should be procuring on behalf of its loads in the CAISO Balancing Authority Area. Amount of RA Capacity To Be Procured Section 40 of both the IRRP and the MRTU Tariff allow an LRA to establish its own criteria for the establishment of its Planning Reserve Margins. Western is committed to meeting operating reserve requirements consistent with WECC and NERC standards. Within Western's sub Balancing Authority Area, Western has sufficient resources to reliably operate and balance the loads and resources consistent with prudent utility practice. Western's loads on the CAISO's transmission grid, for which Western is the LSE, are less than 1 percent (peak demand estimate of 350 MW) of the overall demand of the CAISO transmission grid (CAISO's 2007 Summer Assessment estimated at 47,000 MW). Western has procured RA Capacity consistent with the standards identified in the Current RA Plan through 2007, which is 10 percent June through September and 5 percent in all other months, based on projected monthly peak customer loads. Western proposes that beginning in 2008 and beyond, Western will continue to procure RA Capacity in the same manner as is identified in the Current RA Plan (10 percent June through September and 5 percent in all other months). This proceeding will determine Western's standards for meeting the CAISO's RA Capacity requirements in Section 40 of the IRRP and MRTU Tariff in the future. Once this process has concluded, Western will review its Current RA Plan and, based on the comments received, may make modifications before submitting a Final RA Plan to address future procurement of RA Capacity. As part of this proceeding, Western requests comments on the amount (monthly percentage) of RA Capacity it should procure in the future. Allocation of Costs for RA Capacity Under Western's current methodology, Western is allocating the monthly costs associated with its procurements of RA Capacity on a load ratio share basis to the loads in the CAISO Balancing Authority Area for which the RA Capacity was procured. These customers include Western's Full Load Service Customers, Western's four First Preference Customers, the NASA Ames Research Center, and a subset of Reclamation's Project Use Customers. Under the current allocation methodology, all of these loads are allocated a respective share of RA Capacity costs based on their projected load levels in the months that are covered by the current procurements. Western believes it is appropriate to allocate these costs to these customers since Western, as the LSE, incurs these charges to schedule with the CAISO on behalf of these customers. Western proposes that beginning in 2008 and beyond, Western will continue to allocate the monthly costs associated with its procurements of RA Capacity on a load ratio share basis to the loads that are receiving the benefits of those procurements. As part of this proceeding, Western requests comments on whether to maintain the existing methodology for allocating costs among customers for RA Capacity costs or to implement a new methodology. Western requests that comments to change the methodology contain reasons for the change. Western will address all comments within the scope of these proceedings in its **Federal Register** notice implementing a Final RA Plan. The **Federal Register** notice will be published prior to the effective date of the Final RA Plan. Normally, the final plan would be effective 30 days after Administrator approval. In this instance, after the Administrator approves the Final RA Plan, Western anticipates the effective date of the Final RA Plan will be July 17, 2007. Western's Final RA Plan must be in place by this date to align Western's procurement process with the CAISO's required annual showing for CY 2008 by September 30, 2007. This allows Western to be competitive in the RA Capacity market. On the effective date, the Final RA Plan will replace the Current RA Plan. As discussed in the body of this notice, the Final RA Plan may differ from the CPUC's or other LRA's RA Plan. Western's Final RA Plan is being developed by Western as an LRA and is intended to only apply to Western, acting as an LSE in the CAISO Balancing Authority Area. It is not meant to apply to other LSEs in the CAISO Balancing Authority Area. Those LSEs are subject to the authority of the CPUC or other LRAs and, as such, are outside of Western's jurisdiction. Availability of Information All studies, comments, letters, memorandums, or other documents made or kept by Western for developing the final plan, will be made available for inspection and copying at Western's Sierra Nevada Region Office, located at 114 Parkshore Drive, Folsom, CA 95630-4710. Environmental Compliance In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA)of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321, *et seq.* ); the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for implementing NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500 through 1508); and the Integrated DOE NEPA Implementing Procedures (10 CFR part 1021), Western has determined that this action is categorically excluded from the preparation of an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement. Determination Under Executive Order 12866 Western has an exemption from centralized regulatory review under Executive Order 12866; accordingly, no clearance of this notice by the Office of Management and Budget is required. Dated: April 18, 2007. Timothy J. Meeks, Administrator. [FR Doc.

Pursuant to Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA specifically solicits comments and information to enable it 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. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from very small businesses (those that employ less than 25 employees) for examples of specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork burden for very small businesses affected by this collection. What Should I Consider When I Prepare My Comments for EPA? *You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your comments:* 1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific examples. 2. Describe any assumptions that you used. 3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used that support your views. 4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you arrived at the estimate that you provide. 5. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity. 6. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified under DATES. 7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the Docket ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and **Federal Register** citation. What Information Collection Activities or ICRs Does This Apply To? [Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OARM-2007-0341] *Affected entities:* Entities potentially affected by this action are those businesses or organizations performing contracts for the Agency. *Title:* Conflict of Interest, Rule #1. *ICR numbers:* EPA ICR No. 1550.06, OMB Control No. 2030-0023. *ICR status:* This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on 07/31/07. 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 Title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the **Federal Register** when approved, are listed in 40 CFR Part 9, are displayed either by publication in the **Federal Register** or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR Part 9. *Abstract:* EPA contractors will be required to disclose business relationships and corporate affiliations to determine whether EPA's interests are jeopardized by such relationships. Because EPA has the dual responsibility of cleanup and enforcement and because its contractors are often involved in both activities, it is imperative that contractors are free from conflicts of interest so as not to prejudice response and enforcement actions. Contractors will be required to maintain a database of business relationships and report information to EPA on either an annual basis or when each work order is issued. *Burden Statement:* The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1,078 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. The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: *Estimated total number of potential respondents:* 135. *Frequency of response:* On occasion. *Estimated total annual burden hours:* 145,640. *Estimated total annual costs:* $8,144,585. This includes an estimated burden cost of $8,144,585 and an estimated cost of $0 for capital investment or maintenance and operational costs. Are There Changes in the Estimates From the Last Approval? Although the number of respondents has increased since the ICR was last renewed and approved by OMB in 2004, the total annual burden hours and annual costs are not expected to increase. The number of respondents has increased due to a need to include non-Superfund as well as Superfund contractors in our information collection activities related to conflicts of interest. While this ICR was initiated due to the need to ensure that contractors supporting work under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), commonly known as “Superfund,” are free from conflict so as not to prejudice CERCLA actions, it has become clear in the past few years that the potential for conflict is not limited to contracts supporting Superfund activities, but includes all Agency contracts involving support of regulatory activities. Other environmental laws besides Superfund that give the Agency the authority for its programs and regulatory activities include, but are not limited to, the Clean Water Act (CWA); Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA); Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuary Act (MPRSA); Clean Air Act (CAA); Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA); Oil Pollution Act (OPA); Pollution Prevention Act (PPA); Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA); Superfund Reauthorization and Amendments Act (SARA); Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA); Federal Facility Compliance Act (FFCA); National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA); Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA); Comprehensive Environmental Response, Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA); and the Mercury-Containing and Rechargeable Battery Management Act (Battery Act). Despite the increase in the number of respondents, the total annual burden hours are not expected to increase because this is an established information collection effort and most of the respondents are engaged primarily in the recurring maintenance and reporting activities rather than the one-time activities of greater burden that were necessary when the ICR was initiated. Also, the processes for storing, retrieving, and reporting information on a recurring basis have been streamlined in recent years through greater use of electronic methods. [Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OARM-2007-0342] *Affected entities:* Entities potentially affected by this action are those businesses or organizations that want to provide the EPA with supplies or services. *Title:* Invitation for Bids and Request for Proposals. *ICR numbers:* EPA ICR No. 1038.11, OMB Control No. 2030-0006. *ICR status:* This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on 07/31/07. 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 Title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the **Federal Register** when approved, are listed in 40 CFR Part 9, are displayed either by publication in the **Federal Register** or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR Part 9. *Abstract:* EPA requires contractors to submit information in order to be considered for the award of a contract. Information requested includes: prices for the supplies/services requested, information on past performance, technical and cost information, and general financial and organizational information. Information provided by vendors in response to an RFP/IFB is used to evaluate which vendor will provide the best product in terms of quality, timeliness and price. Responses to IFBs/RFPs are required to be considered for a contract award. The legal authority for this collection is 41 U.S.C. 253. Contractor confidential business information submitted in connection with an IFB or RFP response is protected from public release in accordance with 40 CFR 2.201 *et seq.* *Burden Statement:* The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 8 hours per response for IFBs and 251 hours per response for RFPs. 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. The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: *Estimated total number of potential respondents:* 981. *Frequency of response:* On occasion. *Estimated total annual burden hours:* 219,015. *Estimated total annual costs:* $14,251,635. This includes an estimated burden cost of $14,251,635 and an estimated cost of $0 for capital investment or maintenance and operational costs. What Is the Next Step in the Process for These ICRs? EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICRs as appropriate. The final ICR packages will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue another **Federal Register** notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICRs to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.

General information about the SAB, as well as any updates concerning the meeting announced in this notice, may be found on the SAB Web site at: *http://www.epa.gov/sab.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background EPA's National Homeland Security Research Center (NHSRC) is developing an interactive online risk assessment and management software tool to provide health advisors and other emergency response officials with rapid access to critical information during an environmental emergency or training exercise. The Emergency Consequence Assessment Tool
(ECAT)is designed to assess and provide site-specific numeric estimates of health risks for selected chemical, biological and radiological threat agents; and identify what response actions might be appropriate to mitigate health risks. Additionally, NHSRC is conducting research to assist program offices and decision-makers in:
(1)Assessing the hazard and risk of exposure to highly toxic chemical and biological agents after deliberate contamination, and
(2)deriving decontamination goals for cleanup and re-entry to contaminated buildings. One of the most important issues in regards to biological threat agents is the development of a risk assessment methodology to accomplish these goals. Currently, there is no consensus-based methodology for evaluating biological contaminants and establishing cleanup levels. To address this gap, the research being conducted is evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of existing biological risk assessment methods and tools to develop a preliminary incident-based Microbial Risk Assessment
(MRA)Framework. The preliminary MRA framework represents an initial template and decision tool that addresses information gathering and decision support activity to conduct risk assessment over projected time intervals following the incident. The MRA framework is organized to support initial site assessment followed by more in-depth hazard and exposure assessment methodologies as additional site and hazard information is accumulated from the ongoing investigations and sampling analyses. Two primary goals of the framework are to address the uncertainties of the many unknown variables associated with biothreat agents and deriving preliminary acceptable decontamination goals other than “zero”. In the context of deriving safe cleanup levels for biothreat agents, the applicability and quality of existing data on biological organisms and the research conducted to fill critical gaps in this data are key to continued progress in this area. The NHSRC has requested the SAB to provide technical advice regarding the development of ECAT and MRA. The SAB was established by 42 U.S.C. 4365 to provide independent scientific and technical advice, consultation, and recommendations to the EPA Administrator. The SAB HSAC will be augmented with other SAB members to conduct these consultations through the Chartered SAB. The HSAC will provide advice to the Agency on the preliminary versions of the ECAT and the MRA and early recommendations for the future development and application of both. Availability of Meeting Materials A roster of committee members, their biographical sketches, and the meeting agenda will be placed on the SAB Web site at *http://www.epa.gov/sab* in advance of this meeting. Dr. Kevin Garrahan ( *garrahan.kevin@epa.gov* ) is the technical contact for ECAT and Dr. Tonya Nichols ( *nichols.tonya@epa.gov* ) is the technical contact for MRA. Access to ECAT and MRA materials will be available on the NHSRC Web site: *http://www.epa.gov/nhsrc.* Procedures for Providing Public Input Interested members of the public may submit relevant written or oral information for the SAB to consider during the advisory process. *Oral Statements:* In general, individuals or groups requesting an oral presentation at a public meeting will be limited to five minutes per speaker, with no more than one hour for all speakers.

Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified. II. Background A. What Action is the Agency Taking? EPA is releasing for public comment its human health and environmental fate and effects risk assessments and related documents for mecoprop-p, a phenoxy pesticide, and soliciting public comment on risk management ideas or proposals. Mecoprop-p is a herbicide frequently co-formulated with other phenoxy herbicides for annual and perennial broadleaf weeds and brush control in industrial and residential areas. These sites include: drainage ditch banks, golf courses, greenhouse ornamentals, ornamental turf/lawns (institution, industrial, and residential), rights-of-way, roadsides, and sod farms. EPA developed the risk assessments and risk characterization for mecoprop-p through a modified version of its public process for making pesticide reregistration eligibility decisions. Through these programs, EPA is ensuring that pesticides meet current standards under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA). EPA is providing an opportunity, through this notice, for interested parties to provide comments and input on the Agency's risk assessments for mecoprop-p. Such comments and input could address, for example, the availability of additional data to further refine the risk assessments, such as typical use rate data, or could address the Agency's risk assessment methodologies and assumptions as applied to this specific pesticide. Through this notice, EPA also is providing an opportunity for interested parties to provide risk management proposals or otherwise comment on risk management for mecoprop-p. Risks of concern associated with the use of mecoprop-p are potential effects to some terrestrial and aquatic organisms. In targeting these risks of concern, the Agency solicits information on effective and practical risk reduction measures. EPA seeks to achieve environmental justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people, regardless of race, color, national origin, or income, in the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other factors, may have atypical, unusually high exposure to mecoprop-p, compared to the general population. EPA is applying the principles of public participation to all pesticides undergoing reregistration. The Agency's Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment and Reregistration; Public Participation Process, published in the **Federal Register** on May 14, 2004 (69 FR 26819)(FRL-7357-9), explains that in conducting these programs, the Agency is tailoring its public participation process to be commensurate with the level of risk, extent of use, complexity of the issues, and degree of public concern associated with each pesticide. For mecoprop-p, a modified, 4-Phase process with one comment period and ample opportunity for public consultation seems appropriate in view of its few complex issues. However, if as a result of comments received during this comment period EPA finds that additional issues warranting further discussion are raised, the Agency may lengthen the process and include a second comment period, as needed. All comments should be submitted using the methods in ADDRESSES , and must be received by EPA on or before the closing date. Comments will become part of the Agency Docket for mecoprop-p. Comments received after the close of the comment period will be marked “late.” EPA is not required to consider these late comments. B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action? Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA as amended directs that, after submission of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, “the Administrator shall determine whether pesticides containing such active ingredient are eligible for reregistration,” before calling in product-specific data on individual end-use products and either reregistering products or taking other “appropriate regulatory action.” List of Subjects Environmental protection, Pesticides and pests.

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's intention to modify certain risk mitigation measures that were imposed as a result of the 2006 Interim Reregistration Eligibility Decision
(IRED)for the pesticide formetanate hydrochloride (HCl). EPA conducted this reassessment of the formetanate HCl IRED in response to comments received regarding endpoints chosen for the assessment. The Agency agreed that the toxicity endpoints fo human health risk assessment should be re-evaluated. Hence, the resulting assessment modified the mitigation listed in the IRED. Therefore, on formetanate HCl labels, there will be no requirement for closed cabs for applicators using air-blast sprayers on orchard fruit and the Restricted Entry Intervals are modified for alfalfa (from 9 to 4 days), pome and stone fruit (from 8 to 5 days) and citrus fruit (from 10 to 9 days).

You may access this **Federal Register** document electronically through the EPA Internet under the “ **Federal Register** ” listings at *http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr.* II. Background A. What Action is the Agency Taking? In 2006, EPA issued an IRED for formetanate HCl under section 4(g)(2)(A) of FIFRA. Subsequent to publication of this IRED, the technical registrant submitted additional information and comments regarding the risk assessments. After reviewing comments received from the registrant (Gowan Company), regarding the use of bench mark dose
(BMD)modeling as an appropriate method for selecting the inhalation toxicity endpoint and concerns for the dermal endpoint selected, the Agency reassessed and consequently modified its original dermal and inhalation points of departure of 0.1 mg/kg for inhalation and 10 mg/kg for dermal to 0.18 mg/kg for the inhalation endpoint and 15 mg/kg for dermal. This change in endpoint selection resulted in acceptable Margins of Exposure
(MOEs)for orchard air-blast applications when using double layer Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Furthermore, the Restricted Entry Intervals
(REIs)were reduced (from 9 to 4 days for alfalfa, 8 to 5 days for pome and stone fruit and 10 to 9 days for citrus fruit). The Agency has also updated the formetanate HCl IRED including a Response to Comments memorandum and an updated label table. EPA is applying the principles of public participation to all pesticides undergoing reregistration and tolerance reassessment. The Agency's Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment and Reregistration; Public Participation Process, published in the **Federal Register** on May 14, 2004, (69 FR 26819) (FRL-7357-9) explains that in conducting these programs, EPA is tailoring its public participation process to be commensurate with the level of risk, extent of use, complexity of issues, and degree of public concern associated with each pesticide. Due to its uses, risks, and other factors, formetanate HCl was reviewed through the modified 4-Phase public participation process. Through this process, EPA worked extensively with stakeholders and the public to reach the regulatory decisions for formetanate HCl. There were already two public comment periods for formetanate HCl and this updated IRED document addresses all issues which were raised during earlier comment periods. The Agency therefore is issuing the updated IRED for formetanate HCl without an additional comment period. B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action? Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA as amended directs that, after submission of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, “the Administrator shall determine whether pesticides containing such active ingredient are eligible for reregistration,” before calling in product specific data on individual end-use products and either reregistering products or taking other “appropriate regulatory action.” Section 408(q) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a(q), requires EPA to review tolerances and exemptions for pesticide residues in effect as of August 2, 1996, to determine whether the tolerance or exemption meets the requirements of section 408(b)(2) or (c)(2) of FFDCA. This review is to be completed by August 3, 2006. List of Subjects Environmental protection, Pesticides and pests. Dated: April 12, 2007.

(CBD)filed a lawsuit in Federal District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging that EPA failed to comply with section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act by not ensuring that its registration of 66 named pesticide active ingredients will not affect the California red-legged frog, a federally-listed threatened species. CBD, EPA, and defendant-intervenors CropLife America, American Forest and Paper Association, Western Plant Health Association, Oregonians for Food and Shelter, and Syngenta Crop Protection, Inc. engaged in discussions to try to resolve the case. On September 1, 2006, EPA issued a notice in the **Federal Register** (71 FR 52073; FRL-8090-9), announcing the availability of a proposed Stipulated Injunction, and opening a 15-day public comment period on the draft. EPA received numerous comments from the public, California state agencies, and others, regarding certain aspects of the proposed Stipulated Injunction. These comments, as well as the proposed and final versions of the Stipulated Injunction, are available at regulations.gov in the public docket, ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2006- 0702. Based on public comments received and subsequent discussion with CBD and defendant-intervenors, the federal government agreed to the Stipulated Injunction with a modification to the definition of “upland habitat” in section 3(b) of the injunction to conform this definition, which applies outside designated critical habitat, with the definition of “upland habitat” used by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in its designation of critical habitat for this species (71 FR 19244-19346, April 13, 2006). On October, 13, 2006, the Federal Government joined CBD and defendant-intervenors in asking the Court to issue a Stipulated Injunction resolving the lawsuit. The Court ordered the Stipulated Injunction on October 20, 2006. The key provisions of the Stipulated Injunction are listed below. 1. *Schedule for effects determinations* : The Stipulated Injunction establishes a series of deadlines for the Agency to make “effects determinations” for 66 named pesticides to determine their potential effect on the California red-legged frog (a threatened species native to California). 2. *Interim injunctive relief* : The Stipulated Injunction also (with some exceptions) enjoins, vacates and sets aside EPA's authorization of uses of the 66 pesticides in certain parts of 33 counties in California. The injunctive relief, vacatur, and setting aside of EPA's authorizations would terminate for a particular use of a pesticide when the Agency makes a determination that the pesticide's use has “no effect” on the California red-legged frog, or, where EPA determined the pesticide's use may affect the species, when EPA completes consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 3. *Development and distribution of a bilingual brochure* : The injunction also requires EPA to develop and distribute a bilingual (English and Spanish) brochure regarding certain aspects of the injunction, the California red-legged frog and frogs in general, and pesticides. EPA is required to distribute this brochure to all commercial certified applicators within California; to all private certified applicators residing in counties where use authorizations have been set aside; to registrants of the 66 pesticides; the California Departments of Pesticide Regulation, and Fish and Game; and the Pacific Region of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In addition, EPA is to distribute 250 copies of the brochure to the County Agricultural Commissioner and Cooperative Extension Agent offices in the affected counties. In addition to distributing the bilingual brochure as required by the Stipulated Injunction, EPA has made this brochure available on its Web site ( *www.epa.gov/espp* ). Further, EPA has developed and posted on its Web site maps of the areas in California where the injunctive relief applies and information to assist pesticide users in determining whether particular areas are within the scope of the Stipulated Injunction. The full text of the Stipulated Injunction and other related materials are also available at that Web site. List of Subjects Environmental protection, Endangered species. Dated: April 17, 2997.

E7-7764 Filed 4-24-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6560-50-S EXPORT-IMPORT BANK OF THE UNITED STATES Economic Impact Policy This notice is to inform the public that the Export-Import Bank of the United States has received an application to finance the export of approximately $29.5 million in U.S. machine tooling equipment to a company in China. The U.S. exports will enable the Chinese company to establish production of 180 metal-stamping dies per year. These products will be utilized by companies in China to manufacture medium- to large-sized auto body parts. A portion of this new production will be employed internally by the Chinese company itself to manufacture medium-to large-sized auto body parts for sale to Chinese automobile manufacturers/assemblers. No automobiles will be produced by this Chinese firm.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *OMB Control Number:* 3060-0261. *Title:* Section 90.215, Transmitter Measurements. *Form No.:* N/A. *Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *Respondents:* Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit institutions, and state, local or tribal government. *Number of Respondents:* 191,698 respondents; 450,754 responses. *Estimated Time per Response:* 2 minutes (.033 hours). *Frequency of Response:* Recordkeeping requirement. *Obligation to Respond:* Required to obtain or retain benefits. *Total Annual Burden:* 4,958 hours. *Total Annual Cost:* N/A. *Privacy Act Impact Assessment:* N/A. *Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:* There is no need for confidentiality. *Needs and Uses:* The Commission will submit this information collection to OMB as an extension (no change in recordkeeping requirements) during this comment period to obtain the full three-year clearance from them. The Commission has adjusted the number of respondents and total annual burden hours due to an increase in the number of licensees subject to this rule requirement. Section 90.215 requires station licensees to measure the carrier frequency, output power, and modulation of each transmitter authorized to operate with power in excess of two watts when the transmitter is initially installed and when any changes are made which would likely affect the modulation characteristics. Such measurements, which help ensure proper operation of transmitters, are to be made by a qualified engineering measurement service, and are required to be retained in the station records, along with the name and address of the engineering measurement service, and the person making the measurements. The information is normally used by the licensee to ensure that equipment is operating within the prescribed tolerances. Prior technical operation of transmitters helps limit interference to other users and provides the licensee with the maximum possible utilization of equipment. Federal Communications Commission.

The FCC has a system of records (SORN), FCC/WTB-1, “Wireless Services Licensing Record,” to cover the collection, maintenance, use(s), and destruction of this PII, which respondents may provide to the FCC as part of the information collection requirement(s). This SORN was published in the **Federal Register** on April 5, 2006 (71 FR 17234, 17269). *Needs and Uses:* The Commission will submit this information collection to OMB as a revision during this comment period to obtain the full three-year clearance from them. The Commission is reporting a program change increase for this information collection because the bureau has added a new page 5 to Schedule A of FCC Form 603. The number of respondents has increased that will have to complete that part of the form if they are submitting information for Gross Revenue for Attributable Material Relationship (AMR Entity). The bureau also updated the phone numbers, email addresses and other pertinent information on the form. The Commission uses the information in FCC Form 603 to determine whether the applicant is legally, technically and financially qualified to obtain a license. Without such information, the Commission cannot determine whether to issue the licenses to the applicants that provide telecommunications services to the public, and therefore, to fulfill its statutory responsibilities in accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. Information provided on this form will also be used to update the database and to provide for proper use of the frequency spectrum. *OMB Control Number:* 3060-1058. *Title:* FCC Application or Notification for Spectrum Leasing Arrangement or Private Commons Agreement: Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau. *Form No.:* FCC Form 608. *Type of Review:* Revision of a currently approved collection. *Respondents:* Individuals or households; business or other for-profit, not-for-profit institutions, and state, local or tribal government. *Number of Respondents:* 1,593 respondents; 1,593 responses. *Estimated Time per Response:* .50-1.75 hours. *Frequency of Response:* Recordkeeping requirement and on occasion reporting requirement. *Obligation to Respond:* Required to obtain or retain benefits. *Total Annual Burden:* 7,965 hours. *Total Annual Cost:* $1,309,446. *Privacy Act Impact Assessment:* N/A. *Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:* Respondents may request materials or information submitted to the Commission be withheld from public inspection under 47 CFR Section 0.459 of the Commission's rules. *Needs and Uses:* The Commission will submit this information collection to OMB as a revision during this comment period to obtain the full three-year clearance from them. The Commission is reporting a program change increase for this information collection because the bureau has added a new page 5 to Schedule A of FCC Form 608. The number of respondents has increased that will have to complete that part of the form if they are submitting information for Gross Revenue for Attributable Material Relationship (AMR Entity). The bureau also updated the phone numbers, email addresses and other pertinent information on the form. The required notifications and applications will provide the Commission with useful information about spectrum usage and help to ensure that licensees and lessees are complying with Commission interference and non-interference related policies and rules. Similar information and verification requirements have been used in the past for licensees operating under authorizations, and such requirements will serve to minimize interference, verify that lessees are legally and technically qualified to hold licenses, and ensure compliance with Commission rules.

Reliable Logistics, LLC; Notice of Complaint and Assignment Notice is given that a complaint has been filed with the Federal Maritime Commission (“Commission”) by Norland Industries, Inc., Linna Textiles Manufacturing Limited, Medcorp Distributors, Inc., Malan Garment Limited, and Malan Garment, Inc. (“Complainants”), against Reliable Logistics, LLC. (“Respondent”). Complainants assert that Norland Industries, Inc., Medcorp Distributors, Inc., and Malan Garment, Inc. are corporations or other business entities formed and existing under the laws of the State of New York, and Linna Textiles Manufacturing Limited and Malan Garment Limited are corporations or other business entities under the laws of a foreign nation. Complainants assert that all Complainants are related entities engaged in the business of importing into and trading cargoes of clothing within the United States of America. Complainants allege that Respondent Reliable Logistics, LLC is a corporation, limited liability company or entity engaged in the business of acting as a non-vessel operating common carrier, freight forwarder, bailee and/or warehouseman for hire. Complainants state that they hired Respondent to provide certain transportation related services for a number of import shipments of clothing and department store merchandise. Complainants assert that on or about April 20, 2004, Respondent abruptly, and without notice, informed Complainants that it no longer desired to provide transportation services to Complainants and that it wished to terminate their business relationship. Complainants allege that, in its attempt to terminate its business relations with Complainants, Respondent wrongfully seized twelve
(12)of Complainants' containers, allegedly as leverage for wrongful demand of immediate payment of all invoices for freight and other charges, notwithstanding the extension of credit and thirty
(30)day payment terms to Complainants. Through payments and under protest, Complainants were able to secure eleven
(11)of the seized containers. Complainants contend that the actions of Respondent violate Section 10(d) of the Shipping Act by failing to establish, observe, and enforce just and reasonable regulations and practices in connection with transportation services on three counts:
(1)$71,274 in damages to Complainants for the price of goods and duty paid on the container Respondent maintained control of;
(2)$314,037.05 in damages to Complainants for actions Complainants were forced to take to retain customers after missing buying/purchasing seasons and delivery windows for the cargo Respondent maintained control of; and
(3)$96,720 in damages to Complainants for loss of Visa documentation which Respondent allegedly did not surrender to Complainants. Complainants request the Commission issue an Order for Reparations in the Complainants' favor for $71,274.91 for the first count; $314,037.05 for the second count; $96,720 for the third count; and grant such other proper and further relief the Commission deems appropriate. This proceeding has been assigned to the Office of the Administrative Law Judges. Pursuant to the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 46 CFR 502.181 (Subpart K—Shortened Procedure) Complainants have requested that their complaint be handled on an expedited basis. Under this procedure, with the consent of the parties and with the approval of the presiding officer, this proceeding may be conducted under shortened procedure without oral hearing, except that a hearing may be ordered by the presiding officer at the request of either party to the proceeding or at the presiding officer's discretion. Within 25 days of the date of service of the complaint, Respondent shall, if they consent to the shortened procedure, file with the Commission and serve on the Complainants, their answering memorandum of facts and arguments relied upon. Within 15 days after the date of service of Respondent's answering memorandum, Complainants may file with the Commission and serve on the Complainants, their reply. This will close the record for decision unless the presiding officer orders the submission of additional evidentiary material. If Respondent does not consent to this shortened procedure, the matter will be governed by 46 CFR 502.61 (Subpart E—Proceedings, Pleadings, Motions, Replies). Pursuant to the further terms of 46 CFR 502.61, the initial decision of the presiding officer in this proceeding shall be issued by April 18, 2008, and the final decision of the Commission shall be issued by August 18, 2008.
