Take notice that on October 13, 2006, EnviroDyne Inc., 10400 Overland Road #226, Boise, ID 83709 filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission a notice of self-certification of a facility as a qualifying cogeneration facility pursuant to 18 CFR 292.207(a) of the Commission's regulations. This cogeneration facility will be located at 3349 S. 1800 E., Wendell, Gooding County, Idaho. Initially the primary energy input will be from Natural Gas fuel with approximately one percent (1%) of the fuel source from Diesel Fuel (pilot fuel for ignition of the natural gas). It is anticipated that over time, after development of a gasification unit, this plant could be run on the output of a gasification process with animal waste being the input to the energy conversion units. This fuel source would be in addition to operation on Bio-diesel fuel. In the event of lack of this fuel, the units would run on or be supplemented by Natural Gas. The principle components of the plant will consist of six
(6)model 38ETDD81/8 Enviro-Design Engines, each rated at 3030 BHP and each capable of producing 2165 KW power at 4160 volt, 3 phase 60 Hz Alternating Current. In addition to each engine-generator unit, each plant will consist of heat exchangers and radiators as necessary to cool the units and to recover heat from the units in the form of hot water, possible including exhaust waste heat boilers/heat exchangers. Units would also each include lube oil filtration equipment.

(EA)for the projects in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act. The multi-project EA will consider both site-specific and cumulative environmental impacts and reasonable alternatives to the proposed actions. Scoping Meetings FERC staff will conduct one agency scoping meeting and one public meeting, in conjunction with scoping for the South Feather Power Project. The agency scoping meeting will focus on resource agency and non-governmental organization
(NGO)concerns, while the public scoping meeting is primarily for public input. All interested individuals, organizations, and agencies are invited to attend one or both of the meetings, and to assist the staff in identifying the scope of the environmental issues that should be analyzed in the EA. The times and locations of these meetings are as follows: Agency Scoping Meeting *Date:* June 14, 2007. *Time:* 10 a.m. (PST). *Place:* VFW Post #1747. *Address:* 1901 Elgin St., Oroville, CA. Public Scoping Meeting *Date:* June 13, 2007. *Time:* 7 p.m. (PST). *Place:* VFW Post #1747. *Address:* 1901 Elgin St., Oroville, CA. Copies of the Scoping Document
(SD1)outlining the subject areas to be addressed in the EA are being distributed to the parties on the Commission's mailing list under separate cover. Commission's mailing list. Copies of the SD1 will be available at the scoping meeting or may be viewed on the Web at *http://www.ferc.gov* using the “eLibrary” link (see item m above). Site Visit We also will conduct a two-day site visit to the project facilities on Tuesday, June 12, 2007, and Wednesday June 13, 2007, in conjunction with a site visit of the South Feather Power Project. On both days we will meet at the South Feather Water and Power Agency's Forbestown Office, 5494 Forbestown Rd, Forbestown, CA at 7:30 a.m. All participants are responsible for their own transportation on the site visits and will need to provide their own lunch. Objectives At the scoping meetings, the staff will:
(1)Summarize the environmental issues tentatively identified for analysis in the EA;
(2)solicit from the meeting participants all available information, especially quantifiable data, on the resources at issue;
(3)encourage statements from experts and the public on issues that should be analyzed in the EA, including viewpoints in opposition to, or in support of, the staff's preliminary views;
(4)determine the resource issues to be addressed in the EA; and
(5)identify those issues that require a detailed analysis, as well as those issues that do not require a detailed analysis. Procedures The meetings are recorded by a stenographer and become part of the formal record of the Commission proceeding on the project. Individuals, organizations, and agencies with environmental expertise and concerns are encouraged to attend the meeting and to assist the staff in defining and clarifying the issues to be addressed in the EA.

For further information about the electronic docket, go to *www.regulations.gov.* *Title:* NO <sup>X</sup> Budget Trading Program to Reduce the Regional Transport of Ozone. *ICR Numbers:* EPA ICR no. 1857.04, OMB Program Control No. 2060-0445. *ICR status:* This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on May 31, 2007. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 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 regulation is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. *Abstract:* The NO <sup>X</sup> Budget Trading Program is a market-based cap and trade program created to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides (NO <sup>X</sup> ) from power plants and other large combustion sources in the eastern United States. NO <sup>X</sup> is a prime ingredient in the formation of ground-level ozone (smog), a pervasive air pollution problem in many areas of the eastern United States. The NO <sup>X</sup> Budget Trading program was designed to reduce NO <sup>X</sup> emissions during the warm summer months, referred to as the ozone season, when ground-level ozone concentration are highest. This information collection is necessary to implement the NO <sup>X</sup> Budget Trading Program. While States were not required to adopt an emissions trading program, every State adopted the basic Federal model trading program for fossil fuel-fired NO <sup>X</sup> sources. This trading program burden includes the paper work burden related to; transferring and tracking allowances, the allocation of allowances to affected units, permitting, annual year end compliance certification, and meeting the monitoring and reporting requirements of the program. This information collection is mandatory under 40 CFR part 96. All data received by EPA will be treated as public 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. *Burden Statement:* The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 41 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 tie 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. *Respondents/Affected Entities:* Electric Utilities, Industrial Sources, and other persons. *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 700. *Frequency of Response:* On occasion, quarterly, and annually. *Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:* 471,734. *Estimated Total Annual Cost:* $57,069,211, includes $28,278,800 annualized capital or O&M costs. *Changes in the Estimates:* There is a decrease of 11,335 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This is due to adjustments, including changes to the number of responses and the time it takes to respond to a particular activity. Dated: May 17, 2007.
