As announced on June 15, 2007, the staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission will hold a technical conference in the above-referenced proceeding on September 18, 2007, at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington DC. It will be held in the Commission Meeting Room (Room 2C) from 9:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. (EDT). All interested parties are invited. The conference will explore issues associated with the cost recovery of penalties for Reliability Standard violations assessed against independent system operators
(ISOs)and regional transmission organizations
(RTOs)in the United States, as set forth in *Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator, Inc.,* 119 FERC ¶ 61,222 (May 31, 2007) in Docket Nos. ER07-701-000 and AD07-12-000. In that Order, the following topics were identified for discussion: 1. How each ISO's or RTO's regional tariffs and other operational agreements and protocols allocate reliability responsibilities among the parties; 2. What provisions exist in those tariffs, agreements, and protocols to establish responsibility for penalty costs associated with Reliability Standard violations, and do those provisions result in uniform responsibility for such penalty costs; 3. What provisions exist that may prevent an entity from being registered for compliance with relevant Reliability Standards if, notwithstanding its registration status, such entity's failure to perform under tariffs, agreements, and protocols could lead to a violation of Reliability Standards; and 4. What policies for any pass-through of penalty costs associated with Reliability Standard violations by ISOs and RTOs would both best provide due process for entities that may ultimately be required to pay these penalty costs and also avoid redundant investigations and litigation of Reliability Standard violations. There will be three panels. The first panel will consist of RTOs and ISOs. The second panel will consist of representative entities potentially subject to paying penalties incurred by the RTOs or ISOs, either through the general allocation of an RTO or ISO penalty or through the direct assignment of a penalty by an RTO or ISO on the grounds such entity did not perform reliability functions that led to the penalty. The third panel will consist of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation and the Regional Entities. Topics for discussion in each panel are as follows: Panel One Panelists should be prepared to address Commission Topics 1, 2, 3 and 4. In addition, panelists are requested to consider the following: A. Should penalties associated with Reliability Standard violations by RTOs or ISOs be allocated to all of its members, customers, owners or participants (collectively, members)? If so, should this allocation be handled by tariff or by contract? What allocation method would fairly apportion the cost burden amongst an RTO's or ISO's members? B. If an RTO or ISO is permitted to pass on to its members the reliability penalties assessed against it, how should the Commission ensure that the RTO/ISO has adequate incentives to comply with the Reliability Standards? C. Should an RTO or ISO be permitted to directly assign to one or more or a group of specific members, reliability penalties assessed against it but that were caused by the members? If so, who should investigate these entities to determine the degree of culpability, how will these entities be given due process and how can duplicative proceedings that overlap the ERO or Regional Entity penalty proceedings be avoided? D. Should only non-monetary penalties be applied to RTOs and ISOs (and other non-profit organizations)? Panel Two Panelists should be prepared to address Commission Topics 1, 2, 3 and 4. In addition, panelists are requested to consider the following: A. Should an RTO or ISO be permitted to allocate to its members reliability penalties assessed against it pursuant to section 215 of the FPA? If so, should this be handled by tariff or by contract? What allocation method would fairly apportion the cost burden? B. If an RTO or ISO is not permitted to pass on reliability penalty costs assessed against it, what source of funds is suggested for payment? C. Should an RTO or ISO be permitted to directly assign to specific members reliability penalties assessed against it, and if so, how should duplicative proceedings be avoided and due process ensured? Panel Three Panelists should be prepared to address Commission Topics 3 and 4. In addition, panelists are requested to consider the following: A. Would the ERO or Regional Entity investigation of an alleged Reliability Standard violation by an RTO or ISO incorporate an investigation of any RTO or ISO members that have been alleged to contribute to the violation both in the instance where these members are registered in the ERO's compliance registry and in the instance where these members are not registered? If these members are investigated, would there be an assessment of the extent each of the members and the RTO or ISO contributed to the violation? B. How would Regional Entities and the ERO address in enforcement proceedings assessment of penalties for matters in which an RTO or ISO and one or more members violated the same Reliability Standard, different Reliability Standards or multiple Reliability standards? C. Should the Regional Entity identify not just the entity that violated a Reliability Standard, but also any entities which may have contributed to the RTO's or ISO's Reliability Standard violation? Should the Regional Entity also quantify the degree to which each entity contributed to the violation? D. If an RTO or ISO asserts that an entity that is not listed in NERC's compliance registry is responsible for the RTO's or ISO's violation of a Reliability Standard, in an enforcement hearing pursuant to section 215 of the FPA, will Regional Entities or NERC inquire if the root cause of the violation lies with that entity and provide the entity an opportunity to participate in the proceeding? Participants on the panels will be announced in a subsequent notice. There is *no* registration fee to attend. A free webcast of this event will be available through *http://www.ferc.gov* .

What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does This Apply To [Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2003-0225] *Affected entities:* Entities potentially affected by this action are construction establishments employing at least one person during the previous twelve months (NAICS code 23). *Title:* Mobile-Source Emission Factors: Emissions and Usage of Nonroad Equipment *ICR numbers:* EPA ICR No. 2156.01, OMB Control No. 2063-0553. *ICR status:* This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on November 30, 2007. 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 In response to recommendations from the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences, EPA is conducting systematic data collection designed to improve the methods and tools used by the Agency to estimate emissions from nonroad equipment. Data to be collected include usage rates (activity) and “in-use” or “real-world” emission rates. The collection is a survey, to be conducted by the Office of Transportation and Air Quality
(OTAQ)in the Office of Air and Radiation (OAR). Development of rapid in-use instrumentation promises to substantially reduce the cost of emissions measurement for nonroad equipment. This study combines rapid in-use measurement capability with statistical survey design to improve the representation of nonroad engine populations. The goal is to conduct a survey designed to develop methods and protocols needed to collect data on activity and in-use emissions of diesel nonroad equipment. Response to the survey is voluntary. The target population includes nonroad equipment used by commercial establishments in the construction sector. The study area for this collection will be EPA Region 7. To estimate the prevalence of equipment ownership in the target sectors, establishments will be requested to respond to brief interviews regarding their equipment ownership and use. For a subset of establishments, emissions and usage will be measured using portable on-board electronic instrumentation. Emissions instrumentation will measure carbon dioxide (CO <sup>2</sup> ) and several air pollutants on an instantaneous basis during normal operation over a period of one to three days. Air pollutants to be measured include carbon monoxide (CO), total hydrocarbons (THC), oxides of nitrogen (NO <sup>X</sup> ) and particulate matter (PM). The usage instrument will measure engine on/off over a period of approximately one month. Data will be collected during normal operation at the respondents' facilities or work sites. *Burden Statement:* The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.15 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 submitted for renewal will provide a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate, which is briefly summarized here: *Estimated Total Number of Potential Respondents:* 4,020. *Frequency of Response:* On occasion. *Estimated Total Average Number of Responses for Each Respondent:* One. *Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours:* 580. *Estimated Total Annual Costs:* $52,000. This includes an estimated burden cost of $52,000 and an estimated cost of $0.0 for capital investment or maintenance and operational costs. What Is the Next Step in the Process for This ICR EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package 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 ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT . Dated: August 2, 2007. Chester J.
