BILLING CODE 6820-EP-S DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Privacy Act of 1974; Notice To Amend an Existing System of Records AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy. ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: As required by the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, and the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB)Circular A-130, the Department of Energy

(DOE)and the National Nuclear Security Administration (herein referred to collectively as “DOE”) are publishing notice of a proposed amendment to an existing system of records. DOE proposes to amend the system of records DOE-11 “Emergency Operations Notification Call List.” This notice will increase the categories of individuals covered by the Emergency Operations Notification Call List, expand the categories of information to be collected, and ensure that the Emergency Operations Notification Call List is applicable to all DOE facilities and activities. DATES: The proposed amendment to this existing system of records will become effective without further notice on November 19, 2007 unless DOE receives adverse comments and determines that this amendment should not become effective on that date. ADDRESSES: Written comments should be directed to the following address: U.S. Department of Energy, Alan J. Cerrone, Continuity Programs Manager, Office of Emergency Operations, National Nuclear Security Administration, NA-40, 1000 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20585. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Abel Lopez, Director, Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Group, MA-74, U.S. Department of Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20585,

(202)586-5955; Isiah Smith, Deputy Assistant General Counsel for General Law, GC-77, U.S. Department of Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington DC 20585,

(202)586-5000; and Alan J. Cerrone, Continuity Programs Manager, Office of Emergency Operations, National Nuclear Security Administration, NA-40, 1000 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20585,

(301)903-5886. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The events of September 11, 2001, and the threat of nuclear terrorism have resulted in an increased impetus for ensuring that such Federal Government emergency response capabilities are ready to respond on short notice. To rapidly and effectively respond, DOE plans to amend its system of records to maintain additional information about emergency response resources. Since September 11, 2001, DOE's emergency response mission has expanded to include continuity of Government programs. In the case of a terrorist attack, weather related emergency, or accidental release of radiological materials, DOE will be able to use the information in this system of records to locate employees, to notify personnel of the event, to deploy responders, and/or to move operations to an alternate location. DOE also will be able to use the information in this system of records to mobilize personnel. The Homeland Security Act of 2002 delineates DOE's responsibilities for managing the readiness of capabilities and assets that may be called upon to respond to a nuclear or radiological incident. Homeland Security Presidential Directive-5, (HSPD-5), “Management of Domestic Incidents” mandated the development of an intergovernmental agency National Response Plan

(NRP)to direct Federal Government agency capabilities and resources into a coordinated, unified domestic catastrophic incident management and response system. DOE has several responsibilities and functions under the NRP. The amendment to this system will increase the categories of individuals covered by the Emergency Operations Notification Call List, expand the categories of information to be collected, and ensure that the Emergency Operations Notification Call List is applicable to all DOE facilities and activities. DOE is submitting the report required by OMB Circular A-130 concurrently with the publication of this notice. The text of this notice contains information required by the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4). Issued in Washington, DC, on September 28, 2007. Ingrid A.C. Kolb, Director, Office of Management.

(719)667-7534. 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 proceedings for this project should, on or before the below listed comment date, 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 in order 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. 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. Motions to intervene, protests and comments may be filed electronically 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. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings. *Comment Date:* October 24, 2007. Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary. [FR Doc.

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, DOE. ACTION: Order Adopting Electric Quarterly Report Data Dictionary. SUMMARY: The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is adopting an Electric Quarterly Report

(EQR)Data Dictionary that collects in one document the definitions of certain terms and values used in filing EQR data, in conformance with Commission Order No. 2001, which established revised public utility filing requirements. DATES: *Effective Date:* This order will become effective October 4, 2007. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark A.

In this order, after consideration of the comments filed in response to our notice seeking comments, 1 we are adopting an Electric Quarterly Report

(EQR)Data Dictionary that collects in one document the definitions of certain terms and values used in filing EQR data (previously provided in Commission orders and in guidance materials posted at the Commission's Web site) and are issuing formal definitions for those fields that were previously undefined. 1 *Revised Public Utility Filing Requirements for Electric Quarterly Reports* , 72 FR 26091 (May 8, 2007), FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 35,050

(2007)(EQR Notice). I. Background 2. On April 25, 2002, the Commission issued Order No. 2001, a final rule establishing revised public utility filing requirements. 2 This rule revised the Commission's filing requirements to require companies subject to the Commission's regulation under section 205 of the Federal Power Act

(FPA)to file quarterly reports that:

(1)Provide data identifying the utility on whose behalf the report is being filed (ID Data);

(2)summarize pertinent data about the utility's currently effective contracts (Contract Data); and

(3)summarize data about wholesale power sales the utility made during the reporting period (Transaction Data). The requirement to file EQRs replaced the requirement to file quarterly transaction reports summarizing a utility's market-based rate transactions and sales agreements that conformed to the utility's tariff. 2 *Revised Public Utility Filing Requirements,* Order No. 2001, 67 FR 31043, FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 31,127, *reh'g denied* , Order No. 2001-A, 100 FERC ¶ 61,074, *reconsideration and clarification denied* , Order No. 2001-B, 100 FERC ¶ 61,342, *order directing filings* , Order No. 2001-C, 101 FERC ¶ 61,314 (2002), Order No. 2001-D, *order directing filings* , 102 FERC ¶ 61,334, Order No. 2001-E, *order refining filing requirements* , 105 FERC ¶ 61,352 *(2003), clarification order,* Order No. 2001-F, 106 FERC ¶ 61,060 (2004). 3. In Order No. 2001, the Commission also adopted a new section in its regulations, 18 CFR 35.10b, which requires that the EQRs are to be prepared in conformance with the Commission's software and guidance posted and available from the Commission Web site. This obviates the need to revise section 35.10b to implement revisions to the software and guidance. Since the issuance of Order No. 2001, as need has arisen, the Commission has issued orders to resolve questions raised by EQR users and has directed Staff to issue additional guidance. 3 3 Examples cited in EQR Notice at P 3. 4. Likewise, on December 23, 2003, the Commission issued Order No. 2001-E, to resolve some recurring issues faced by EQR filers, to help filers better understand the requirements of Order No. 2001, and to improve the quality and consistency of EQR data. 4 To this end, the Commission:

(1)Ordered standard formats to be used for certain location fields;

(2)established an EQR Refiling Policy; and

(3)streamlined and defined allowable data entries in certain data fields. The Commission instructed Staff to issue filing guidance to address these changes. 5 This guidance was posted on the EQR page of the Commission's Web site on March 25, 2004. 6 Commission Staff posted additional guidance on the Internet at the *http://www.ferc.gov* Web site, and several EQR Users Group meetings have been held to address the questions of EQR filers. 4 Order No. 2001-E, 105 FERC ¶ 61,352 at P 2. 5 *Id.* at P 8. 6 Posted at *http://www.ferc.fed.us/docs-filing/eqr/com-order.asp.* 5. After issuance of Order No. 2001-E, the Commission recognized that rapid change in the electric industry may require flexibility in adding or changing the entries allowed in restricted fields in the EQR. The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), for example, frequently adds and deletes balancing authorities (previously “control areas”) from its Transmission System Information Network

(TSIN)rolls. In an order issued on March 25, 2004, the Commission directed Staff to alert EQR users of any future changes to allowable entries for restricted fields by e-mail, and to post these changes on the EQR page of the Commission's Web site. 7 7 *Revised Public Utility Filing Requirements* , 106 FERC ¶ 61,281 (2004). 6. Since 2004, the Commission has performed outreach to the industry to determine which current EQR definitions are sufficient and understandable and which should be revised. 8 The Commission has concluded that, to improve the quality of EQR filings, it would be appropriate to place in a single document the definitions of certain terms and values used in filing EQR data and to issue formal definitions for those fields that are currently undefined. Thus, the Commission issued a notice (i.e., the EQR Notice) proposing the adoption of a formal EQR Data Dictionary. The EQR Notice was published in the **Federal Register** and, in it, the Commission invited comment on the proposed definitions. 9 A total of seven comments were filed in response to the EQR Notice. 10 8 Examples cited in EQR Notice at P 6. 9 *Notice Seeking Comments on Proposed Electric Quarterly Report Data Dictionary,* 72 FR 26091 (May 8, 2007). 10 Timely comments on the EQR notice were filed by: Edison Electric Institute (EEI); Transalta Energy Marketing (U.S.) Inc. (Transalta); The Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator, Inc. (MISO); Reliant Energy, Inc. (Reliant); Occidental Power Services, Inc. (Occidental); and Powerex Corp. (Powerex). In addition, Central Vermont Public Service

(CVPS)submitted late-filed comments that included a request that the Commission accept them. The Commission will consider all the comments filed in response to the EQR Notice, including the late-filed comments of CVPS. II. Discussion 7. With one exception, the comments in response to the EQR Notice were generally supportive of the proposal for the Commission to adopt an EQR Data Dictionary; 11 however, they made a number of suggestions on possible revisions to the definitions. We will now separately discuss each of these suggestions. 11 The one exception is CVPS, which filed comments arguing that the EQR Data Dictionary should either

(1)*Not* apply to small entities or

(2)not be adopted. We will separately discuss this comment below. A. Field Nos. 2, 15 and 47—Seller Company Name 8. The EQR Notice proposed defining Seller Company Name as “The name of the company that is authorized to make sales as indicated in the company's FERC tariff(s). This name may be the same as the Company Name of the Respondent.” 9. EEI suggests that the definition of Company Name for the Seller be changed to add “or its agent as specified in the tariff (if the full name is over 70 characters).” EEI explains that this change is necessary to provide flexibility when there are multiple parties to a contract, exceeding the field's 70-character limit. Commission Conclusion 10. Only companies that are authorized to sell power under Part 35 of the Commission's regulations should make sales in the wholesale power market. The EQR is intended to report the activities of those specific companies. The Seller information is used to identify those companies. 11. The Commission is not persuaded to revise the definition proposed in the EQR Notice as suggested by EEI. We find this suggestion unnecessary, because under the definition proposed in the EQR Notice, the agent may be identified as the Seller if the company's tariff authorizes the agent to make the sales, even without the language change suggested by EEI. However, we will expand the size of the Seller Company Name field to 100 characters to allow filers to identify those contracts where more than one party is involved as seller and/or where one party is acting as agent for (or on behalf of) one or more other parties. B. Field Nos. 16 and 48—Customer Company Name 12. The EQR Notice proposed defining Customer Company Name as “The name of the counterparty to the contract.” 13. EEI suggests the phrase “to the contract” be deleted from the proposed definition of Customer Company Name to account for multi-lateral membership agreements where no bilateral contract is necessary. Commission Conclusion 14. The suggested change meets the Commission's goal of further clarifying the intended meaning of the field. Thus, this order adopts this suggested revision to these fields. C. Field Nos. 19 and 50—FERC Tariff Reference 15. The EQR Notice proposed defining FERC Tariff Reference as “The FERC tariff reference cites the document that specifies the terms and conditions under which a Seller is authorized to make transmission sales or power sales at cost-based rates or at market-based rates. If the sales are market-based, the tariff that is specified in the FERC order granting the Seller Market Based Rate Authority must be listed.” 16. EEI suggests the phrase “or sales of related jurisdictional services” be added to the definition of FERC Tariff Reference to clarify that jurisdictional services other than transmission or power sales should also be reported in the EQR. In addition, EEI requests that the Commission confirm that cost-based sales made under the Western Systems Power Pool

(WSPP)Agreement should cite the WSPP tariff, and market-based sales made under the WSPP Agreement should cite the Seller's market-based rate tariff. Commission Conclusion 17. We will adopt EEI's suggestion to add the phrase “or sales of related jurisdictional services” to the definition of FERC Tariff Reference because we agree that this phrase helps clarify that jurisdictional services other than transmission or power sales should be reported in the EQR. In addition, as requested by EEI, we confirm that cost-based sales made under the WSPP Agreement should cite the WSPP tariff, and market-based sales made under the WSPP Agreement should cite the Seller's market-based rate tariff. This interpretation is consistent with the proposed definition. D. Field Nos. 20 and 51—Contract Service Agreement ID 18. The EQR Notice proposed defining Contract Service Agreement ID as “Unique identifier given to each service agreement that can be used by the filing company to produce the agreement, if requested. The identifier may be the number assigned by FERC for those service agreements that have been filed with and accepted by the Commission, or it may be generated as part of an internal identification system.” 19. Transalta suggests a change to the proposed Contract Service Agreement ID definition so that the field need not be unique in itself but only unique when combined with the Customer Company Name (Field Nos. 16 and 48). Transalta explains that it does not assign unique identifiers to each of its service agreements. Instead, it has an identification number that may be assigned to multiple service agreements but which, when combined with the counterparty designation, allows Transalta to identify separate transactions within its system. Commission Conclusion 20. In adopting the initial definition for this field in Order No. 2001, the Commission provided considerable latitude for this field. The company can use the number assigned by FERC to those service agreements that had previously been filed or the number could be assigned from an internal system. 12 The one requirement in the original definition was that the identifier be unique. The changes in the proposed definition were intended to clarify that the identifier may include alphabetical characters. 13 12 Order No. 2001, FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 31,127 at P 12. 13 EQR Notice, FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 35,050 at P 13. 21. The Contract Service Agreement ID serves the dual purpose of being a unique method for identifying a particular contract when it is requested and a means of tracking a contract and the activity under a contract from quarter to quarter. Adding a second free form text field to this method of identification decreases our ability to do this tracking. We will, therefore, not adopt Transalta's suggested change. Companies whose current Contract Service Agreement IDs are not compliant with this longstanding EQR requirement may consider using some type of customer identifier in their Contract Service Agreement ID to make it unique. E. Field No. 21—Contract Execution Date 22. The EQR Notice proposed defining Contract Execution Date as “The date the contract was signed. If the parties signed on different dates, or there are contract amendments, use the most recent date signed.” 23. Both Reliant and EEI suggest that the Contact Execution Date should not change because of a minor amendment to the contract. Both commenters note that, frequently, contract amendments are minor changes such as changes in an address or payment terms that do not affect the key operational parameters of the agreement. Commission Conclusion 24. We agree with Reliant and EEI that the usefulness of the data may be increased with a single execution date for each contract across all periods. However, if there are material amendments to the contract, then the contract execution date must be changed. F. Field No. 23—Contract Termination Date 25. The EQR Notice proposed defining Contract Termination Date as “The date that the contract expires.” 26. Transalta expresses concern that this field requires filers to provide a Contract Termination Date even if none exists. Commission Conclusion 27. We find Transalta's concern misplaced. As indicated in the EQR Notice, a Contract Termination Date is only required “if specified in the contract.” EQR filers, therefore, may continue leaving Field No. 23 blank for contracts without termination dates. Thus, we have not changed the proposed definition. G. Field Nos. 26 and 58—Class Name 28. The EQR Notice proposed defining Class Name in the Contract Data section of the EQR as “F-Firm: For transmission sales, service or product that always has priority over non-firm service. For power sales, service or product that is not interruptible for economic reasons. NF-Nonfirm: For transmission sales, service that is reserved and/or scheduled on an as-available basis and is subject to curtailment or interruption at a lesser priority compared to firm service. An energy sale for which delivery or receipt of the energy may be interrupted for any reason or no reason, without liability on the part of either the buyer or seller. UP-Unit Power Sale: Designates a dedicated sale of energy and capacity from one or more than one generation unit(s). N/A-Not Applicable: To be used only when the other available Class Names do not apply.” 29. In addition, the Transaction Data section of the EQR Notice proposes to define the Class Name “BA-Billing Adjustment” (Field No. 58 only) as: “Incremental positive or negative material change to previous EQR totals.” 30. In its comments on the Class Name fields, EEI suggested some editorial changes to clarify the respective meanings of “Firm” and “Non-Firm.” EEI also recommends adding the word “specified” to clarify that the Class Name “UP-Unit Power Sale” is not intended to refer to general system firm sales. 31. Occidental suggests that the use of the Class Name “BA-Billing Adjustment” should be expanded to reflect changes that become available after a quarterly filing has been made, but before the next quarterly filing is due. Order No. 2001-E allowed the “BA” class name to be used for material changes after the next quarterly filing is due. 14 Occidental cites the effort required in truing up estimated California ISO sales data received prior to the EQR filing deadline with actual sales data received after the filing deadline. 14 Order No. 2001-E, 105 FERC ¶ 61,352 at P 9. Commission Conclusion 32. We will adopt EEI's suggested editorial changes to the terms “Firm” and “Non-Firm” and its suggestion to add the word “specified” to the Class Name “UP-Unit Power Sale” because we agree these changes add clarity. 33. As to Occidental's suggestion to expand the use of the Class Name “BA-Billing Adjustment” to include changes that become available after a quarterly filing has been made, the Commission already considered and rejected these arguments in developing the “BA” class name in Order No. 2001-E. The EQR is the Commission's primary means of fulfilling its statutory obligation to have entities' rates on file in a market where prices do not receive prior regulatory approval. 15 Changes in the EQR that would affect the accuracy of the rates provided must be carefully considered. 15 Order No. 2001, FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 31,127 at P 44-46 34. The “BA” class name is intended to be an option allowing EQR filers to reflect material price changes long after the settled prices were considered final. Occidental's observation that RTO/ISO sales data are likely to change after the EQR filing deadline strengthens the Commission's conviction that the data must be refiled to reflect the actual rates charged and that simply reflecting these changes as a single “BA” entry is insufficient. Given our finding on this issue, we believe that it would be helpful to revise the definition of “BA-Billing Adjustment” proposed in the EQR Notice to clarify the intended nature of the “BA” class name. Thus, we have revised the definition for “BA-Billing Adjustment” in the EQR Data Dictionary that we are adopting in this order to provide this clarification. H. Field Nos. 28 and 60—Increment Name 35. The EQR Notice proposed defining Increment Name in the Contract Data section of the EQR as “H-Hourly: Terms of the contract (if specifically noted in the contract) set for up to 6 consecutive hours (≤6 consecutive hours). D-Daily: Terms of the contract (if specifically noted in the contract) set for more than 6 and up to 36 consecutive hours (>6 and ≤36 consecutive hours). W-Weekly: Terms of the contract (if specifically noted in the contract) set for over 36 consecutive hours and up to 168 consecutive hours (>36 and ≤168 consecutive hours). M-Monthly: Terms of the contract (if specifically noted in the contract) set for more than 168 consecutive hours up to one month (>168 consecutive hours and ≤1 month). Y-Yearly: Terms of the contract (if specifically noted in the contract) set for one year or more (≤1 year). S-Seasonal: Terms of the contract (if specifically noted in the contract) set for greater than one month and less than 365 consecutive days (> 1 month and < 1 year). N/A-Not Applicable: Terms of the contract do not specify an increment.” The definitions in the Transaction Data section are the same except that they refer to the “particular sale” rather than the “contract” as a whole. 36. Reliant, EEI, Occidental, and MISO each commented on the Increment Name definitions. Reliant recommends reverting to the definitions used as the basis for discussion at the EQR Users Group meeting on November 29, 2006. 16 Reliant appears to be interpreting the change from the discussion draft terminology of “one month or the balance of a month if longer than one week” to “more than 168 consecutive hours up to one month” as confusing the meaning of the definition because a peak-only sale for the course of a month would involve power flowing during no more than 16 consecutive hours. 16 See Notice of Electric Quarterly Reports Users Group Meeting, November 8, 2006. The discussion version of the data dictionary was posted on the Commission calendar (http://www.ferc.gov/EventCalendar/Files/20061117145410-Staff%20Draft%20of%20EQR%20Data%20Dictionary.xls), and a transcript of the meeting is posted online. 37. MISO, EEI, and Occidental each offer alternative numbers of hours to define the increment names. For example, EEI and Occidental suggest different numbers to differentiate “D-Daily” and “W-Weekly” and MISO, EEI and Reliant request the deletion of the proposed increment name “S-Seasonal.” Commission Conclusion 38. The Commission finds Reliant's suggested reading of the Increment Name definition to be problematic. The definition proposed in the EQR Notice used specific numbers of hours for the terms in order to simplify the process of implementing the definition and ensure consistency in the data. These specific numbers were not intended to change the meaning of the definition. 39. The Increment Name field is intended to provide information regarding the duration of the terms agreed upon in the contract or transaction. If completed correctly, this field provides information about whether a sale at a given price for a full day was the result of a daily sale or, possibly, a monthly sale with a daily index. 40. The proposed definitions expressly refer to the “terms of the contract” (Field No. 28) and the “terms of the particular sale” (Field No. 60). The definitions do not refer to the characteristics of the sales themselves. For example, a monthly peak-only sale priced on a daily index would be designated as “M” in Field No. 60 because the quantity sold, the hours of flow, and the pricing method are set for the entire month. 41. MISO, EEI, and Occidental each comment on the numbers of hours used to define the increment names. While MISO's suggested numbers are the simplest, they do not address the purpose of the field. For example, a single-day, peak-only sale would be classified as “H—Hourly” under MISO's definition even though industry practice would commonly refer to the deal as daily. We are not persuaded to make this change. 42. EEI and Occidental suggest different numbers to differentiate “D—Daily” and “W—Weekly.” The Commission proposed a break point at 36 hours. Occidental recommends 60 hours, explaining that sales with terms lasting over a long weekend are typically designated as “D” consistent with industry practice. EEI recommends 104 hours citing, but not expounding upon, industry practice. We find Occidental's explanation compelling and adopt 60 hours as the break point between “D” and “W.” 43. MISO, EEI and Reliant request the deletion of the proposed increment name “S—Seasonal” with adjustments in the “M—Monthly” and “Y—Yearly” definitions in light of the proposed changes to the other Increment Name definitions. We find this suggestion adds clarity and, thus, we will adopt this suggested revision. I. Field No. 29—Increment Peaking Name 44. The EQR Notice proposed defining Increment Peaking Name as “FP—Full Period: The product described may be sold during all hours under the contract. OP—Off-Peak: The product described may be sold only during those hours designated as off-peak in the NERC region of the point of delivery. P—Peak: The product described may be sold only during those hours designated as on-peak in the NERC region of the point of delivery. N/A—Not Applicable: To be used only when the increment peaking name is not specified in the contract.” 45. EEI suggests that the definition for the Increment Peaking Name “FP—Full Period” be changed to clarify that sales under a contract need not occur around the clock to qualify as Full Period. Commission Conclusion 46. The suggested change meets the Commission's goal of clarifying the definition of the field. Thus, the Commission will adopt this suggested change. J. Field No. 30—Product Type Name 47. The EQR Notice proposed defining Product Type Name as “CB—Cost Based: Energy or capacity sold under a FERC-approved cost-based rate tariff. MB—Market Based: Energy sold under the seller's FERC-approved market-based rate tariff. T—Transmission: The product is sold under a FERC-approved transmission tariff. Other: The product cannot be characterized by the other product type names.” 48. EEI suggests that the words “or Capacity” be added to the definition of “MB-Market-Based” to clarify that capacity may be sold under a market-based tariff. Commission Conclusion 49. EEI makes a valid point in identifying the proposed definition of “MB” as too restrictive. Accordingly, we will adopt EEI's suggested revision to the definition. 50. Under Order No. 890, all transmission capacity reassignments must “be accomplished by the assignee executing a service agreement with the transmission provider that will govern the provision of reassigned service” and those agreements must be reported in the providers' EQRs. 17 In preparing the EQR Data Dictionary, the term “Capacity Reassignment” was inadvertently included as a Product Name (Field Nos. 31 and 62, Appendix B) not a Product Type Name (Field No. 30) as described in Order 890. 18 This has been corrected in the attached EQR Data Dictionary that we are adopting in this order. 17 *Preventing Undue Discrimination and Preference in Transmission Service,* Order No. 890, 72 FR 12266, FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 31,241 at P 816-817 (2007). 18 *Id.* at n. 499. K. Field Nos. 31 and 62—Product Name 51. The EQR Notice proposed defining Product Name as “Description of product being offered.” See Appendix A for more specific definitions of product names. 52. Transalta requests clarification regarding whether a trade in which it sells power into an RTO/ISO's day ahead market at one point and simultaneously buys it back in the day ahead market at another point constitutes an “Exchange” as it has been defined. Because the proposed definition stipulates the return of energy “later at times, rates, and in amounts as mutually agreed,” 19 Transalta asks whether the definition applies to a simultaneous action. 19 Transalta Comments on EQR Notice at 3. Commission Conclusion 53. It was not the Commission's intention to exclude simultaneous trades at different locations from the definition of “Exchanges.” By including the word “later,” the definition also appears to be incorrectly excluding half the exchange activity—those sales that occur on the “return” side of the transaction. To clarify and correct the definition, the word “later” has been dropped. 54. The specific example that Transalta raises, where the counterparty is an ISO, is a special case. In Order No. 2001, the Commission exempted ISOs from transactional reporting where title does not pass to the ISO. 20 Further, several ISOs (New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO), MISO, and ISO New England, Inc. (ISO-NE) have created systems that provide their members' data files in an EQR compatible format. Identifying specific sales as exchanges in those files that match with simultaneous trades may be problematic and unnecessarily delay implementation of the data dictionary. Therefore, the definition of “Exchange” has been changed to exclude organized markets; EQR filers will continue to be allowed to report sales in organized markets as the product settled. Thus, the EQR Data Dictionary that we are adopting in this order (in Appendix A—“Product Names”) defines an “Exchange” as a “Transaction whereby the receiver accepts delivery of energy for a supplier's account and returns energy at times, rates, and in amounts as mutually agreed if the receiver is not an RTO/ISO.” 20 Order No. 2001, FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 31,127 at P 335. 55. The change in the definition should not be interpreted as excluding activities in Real-Time markets that offset sales in Day-Ahead markets. These trades will continue to be considered the organized markets' equivalent to bookouts and should be reported using the conventions adopted to ease the reporting process. 21 21 A description of these conventions may be found in the EQR section of the Commission's *Web* site at Day Ahead/Real Time Reporting in the EQR ( *http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/eqr/news-help/real-time.pdf* ). L. Field No. 37—Rate Description 56. The EQR Notice proposed defining Rate Description as “Text description of rate. May reference FERC tariff, or, if a discounted or negotiated rate, include algorithm.” 57. EEI requests that filers be allowed to enter the tariff location into the rate description field in lieu of a detailed description of the rate itself. EEI cites the difficulty of putting complex rates into the 150-character field. Commission Conclusion 58. The EQR fulfills the Commission's statutory obligation under the FPA to have companies' rates on file. The Commission relies on the EQR to satisfy the FPA requirement that rates provided in a contract be publicly disclosed and on file. Thus, it is imperative that the information reported in EQRs provide an adequate level of detail and transparency. 59. A tariff reference alone, instead of the actual rate description, does not meet that standard. Allowing filers to substitute a tariff reference in place of an actual rate description would force EQR users seeking this information to conduct further research to track down the contents of the tariff on file. This is clearly less transparent than a rate description that actually describes the rate. 60. If the tariff reference is coupled with a descriptive summary of the rate, where the rate is the function of a complex algorithm, the standard is met. Rate information will continue to be available to the public at a level sufficient to explain the bases and methods of calculation with additional detail available upon request to interested persons. Thus, the EQR Data Dictionary that we are adopting in this order defines “Rate Description” as “Text description of rate. Include algorithm if rate is calculated. If the algorithm would exceed the 150 character field limit, it may be provided in a descriptive summary (including bases and methods of calculations) with a detailed citation of the relevant FERC tariff including page number and section.” M. Field No. 39—Point of Receipt Balancing Authority (PORBA) and Field Nos. 41 and 56—Point of Delivery Balancing Authority (PODBA) 61. The EQR Notice proposed defining Point of Receipt Balancing Authority (PORBA) as “The registered NERC Balancing Authority (formerly called NERC Control Area) abbreviation used in OASIS applications or `Hub' if point of receipt is at a restricted trading hub.” The EQR Notice proposed defining Point of Delivery Balancing Authority (PODBA) as “The registered NERC Balancing Authority (formerly called NERC Control Area) abbreviation used in OASIS applications or 'Hub' if point of receipt is at a restricted trading hub.” 62. Powerex notes that when it sends power sourced in the United States to British Columbia for use by British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority (BC Hydro), the PODBA is British Columbia Transmission Corporation (BCTC). BCTC is not included as an option for the fields in the EQR. Powerex suggests that BCTC was inadvertently omitted as a Balancing Authority and asks the Commission to clarify the steps filers should take if the field cannot be completed because the correct value is not available. Commission Conclusion 63. We agree with Powerex that the EQR does not currently include the BCTC balancing authority. While, as explained below, this balancing authority would only be used in a narrow set of instances, we will modify the dictionary to include BCTC as well as other balancing authorities located outside the United States. 64. For purposes of EQR reporting, we can categorize sales from the United States heading towards Canada into three categories:

(1)Sales originating in the United States that are delivered in the United States;

(2)sales originating in the United States where title changes on the United States' side of the United States-Canada border; and

(3)sales originating in the United States where title changes in Canada. In the first instance, the sale is reported in the EQR with the PODBA being a balancing authority within the United States. 22 In the second instance, the sale is reported in the EQR with a PODBA on the United States' side of the United States-Canada border. In the third instance, the sale, which is not jurisdictional, would not be reported in the EQR. 22 The PORBA, if specified, would be reported in the EQR's Contract Data section and not in Transaction Data. If a contract is jurisdictional and reported in the EQR, a Canadian PORBA or PODBA would be reported in instances where provided by the contract. 65. In the case of sales from Canada, for purposes of EQR reporting we can likewise divide these sales into three categories:

(1)Sales originating in Canada that are delivered within Canada;

(2)sales originating in Canada where title changes on the Canadian side of the United States-Canada border; and

(3)sales originating in Canada where title changes in the United States. In the first instance, the sale, which is not jurisdictional, would not be reported in the EQR. Likewise, sales in the second instance would not be jurisdictional and would not be reported in the EQR; however, if there is a subsequent resale that takes that power from the border into the United States, that resale would be reported with a PODBA within the United States. In the third instance, the sale would be reported using a United States' PODBA. 66. Powerex's comment also reveals a weakness in the proposed PODBA/PORBA definitions. As presented, the definitions focus on the list of acceptable entries without classifying what characterizes those entries. Field Nos. 39 and 41, for example, are defined identically in the EQR Notice, which provides:—“The registered NERC Balancing Authority (formerly called NERC Control Area) abbreviation used in OASIS applications or ‘Hub’ if point of receipt is at a restricted trading hub”—even though the former refers to a receipt point and the latter refers to a delivery point. We have changed the field definitions to address this issue. Thus, the EQR Data Dictionary that we are adopting in this order defines “PORBA” as “The registered NERC Balancing Authority (formerly called NERC Control Area) where service begins for a transmission or transmission-related jurisdictional sale. The Balancing Authority will be identified with the abbreviation used in OASIS applications. If receipt occurs at a trading hub specified in the EQR software, the term ‘Hub’ should be used.” In addition, the EQR Data Dictionary that we are adopting in this order defines “PODBA” as “The registered NERC Balancing Authority (formerly called NERC Control Area) where a jurisdictional product is delivered and/or service ends for a transmission or transmission-related jurisdictional sale. The Balancing Authority will be identified with the abbreviation used in OASIS applications. If delivery occurs at the interconnection of two control areas, the control area that the product is entering should be used. If delivery occurs at a trading hub specified in the EQR software, the term ‘Hub’ should be used.” 67. Regarding Powerex's more general comment requesting clarification on the steps filers should take if data needed to make an entry is not available, the Commission stated in Order No. 2001-E that it would use the list “kept current as part of the Transmission Service Information Network

(TSIN)by the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC)” as the source for the abbreviations in this field. 23 Commission staff reviews this list each quarter to identify any changes, additions and deletions. Changes to the list are implemented and filers notified using procedures authorized after Order No. 2001-E. 24 When the final EQR Data Dictionary is issued, any changes in the list will be posted in a revised Appendix B. If, for some reason, a TSIN-identified Balancing Authority where jurisdictional sales may occur is not included in the EQR software, interested parties may send an e-mail to *EQR@ferc.gov* to alert staff to the omission. 23 Order No. 2001-E, 105 FERC ¶ 61,352 at P 4. 24 *See Revised Public Utility Filing Requirements* , 106 FERC ¶ 61,281 (2004). 68. Regarding the specific Balancing Authority identified as “MISO” in Appendix B, MISO seeks to clarify that MISO is not yet a certified NERC balancing authority. MISO asks the Commission to indicate in Appendix B that this is an “administrative classification.” 69. The Commission recognizes that at present there are multiple balancing authorities with responsibilities within the Midwest ISO footprint. The Midwest ISO provides settlement and EQR reporting detail at the balancing authority level. When a sale occurs in one of the balancing authorities, the particular PODBA should be identified in the EQR. Nevertheless, TSIN.com, the OASIS registration Web site chosen by the Commission in Order No. 2001-E to determine balancing authorities, identifies “MISO” as a balancing authority. Further, there are certain system-wide products offered in MISO such as “Uplift” that cannot be linked to a single PODBA. Therefore, “MISO” will be included in the list of available balancing authorities for system-wide products. N. Field Nos. 40 and 42—Point of Receipt Specific Location (PORSL) and Point of Delivery Specific Location (PODSL) 70. The EQR Notice proposed defining Point of Receipt Specific Location (PORSL) as “The specific location at which the product is received if designated in the contract. If receipt occurs at a trading hub, a standardized hub name must be used.” The EQR Notice proposed defining Point of Delivery Specific Location (PODSL) as “The specific location at which the product is delivered if designated in the contract. If receipt occurs at a trading hub, a standardized hub name must be used.” 71. EEI recommends that the Commission allow contracts with numerous Points of Receipt to be reported as “Various” for the Point of Receipt Specific Location. In its comments, EEI identifies two hubs in Appendix C that no longer exist, “AEP (into)” and “ComEd (into).” In addition, EEI suggests that the definition of the Palo Verde Hub in Appendix C be changed to include the Hassayampa switchyard 2 miles south of Palo Verde. Commission Conclusion 72. EEI's suggestion to report Points of Receipt as “Various” would undermine the usefulness of this field by allowing various points defined in the contract to be described using the same nomenclature as points defined as “Various” in the contract. However, EEI's concern about fitting several distinct points within the limited space provided is well founded. To balance the limitations of this EQR field with the requirement for contract information to be provided, the definition has been changed to allow for a descriptive summary of the points listed in the contract. 73. As to EEI's suggestion that the “AEP (into)” and “ComEd (into)” hubs be removed from Appendix C, we agree that this is appropriate since these two hubs are no longer in operation. In addition, we will adopt EEI's suggestion to revise the definition of the Palo Verde Hub in Appendix C to include the Hassayampa switchyard 2 miles south of Palo Verde. This change is intended to make the definition consistent with Commission policy since 2001 treating Palo Verde and the Hassayampa switchyard as a common bus. 25 25 *Arizona Public Service Co.,* 96 FERC ¶ 61,156 (2001). O. Field No. 46—Transaction Unique ID 74. The EQR Notice proposed defining Transaction Unique ID as “An identifier beginning with the letter ‘T’ and followed by a number (e.g., ‘T1’, ‘T2’) used to designate a record containing transaction information in a comma-delimited

(csv)file that is imported into the EQR filing. One record for each transaction record may be imported into an EQR for a given quarter. A new transaction record must be used every time a price changes in a sale.” 75. Transalta requests that the Commission clarify that, for index priced deals only, a new unique ID is not required each time the price changes so long as each new price is reported. Transalta also seeks confirmation that a single transaction using a single Transaction Unique ID may contain multiple records. Commission Conclusion 76. Transalta is correct that filers must enter a new record each time the price changes in a sale. Transalta is also correct in that a single transaction using a single Transaction Unique ID may contain multiple records. This is not a departure from definitions or guidance that the Commission has given in the past. P. Field Nos. 53, 54 and 64—Transaction Begin Date, Transaction End Date and Price 77. The EQR Notice proposed defining Transaction Begin Date as “First date and time the product is sold during the quarter at the specified price.” The EQR Notice proposed defining Transaction End Date as “Last date and time the product is sold during the quarter at the specified price.” The EQR Notice proposed defining Price as “Price charged for the product per unit.” 78. EEI recommends changing the definition for the beginning and ending dates. This change makes the date entered unique to the transaction reported while eliminating the uniqueness of price. Commission Conclusion 79. The Commission will adopt EEI's suggested revisions. The removal of the phrase “at the specified price” from the date fields should not be interpreted to mean that the Commission intends to allow aggregation of prices. To fulfill the Commission's FPA obligations, the prices reported must reflect the actual prices charged. Each price change will continue to require a new record to be reported. To ensure that this requirement is clear, the definition of “Price” has been changed to specify that the price reported cannot be averaged or otherwise aggregated. Q. Field No. 61—Increment Peaking Name 80. The EQR Notice proposed defining Increment Peaking Name as “FP-Full Period: The product described may be sold during all hours under the contract. OP-Off-Peak: The product described may be sold only during those hours designated as off-peak in the NERC region of the point of delivery. P-Peak: The product described may be sold only during those hours designated as on-peak in the NERC region of the point of delivery. N/A-Not Applicable: To be used only when the other available increment peaking names do not apply.” 81. EEI suggests that the words “Peak” and “Off-Peak” be used in the definition of “FP-Full Period” instead of “all” to clarify that full period sales need not last 24 hours. EEI also suggests that the phrase “under the contract” be deleted to clarify that this field refers to Transaction Data. EEI further recommends changing the verb tense in all the Increment Peaking Name definitions to clarify that the transactions being reported occurred in the past. Commission Conclusion 82. The Commission finds that EEI's suggestions—to use the words “Peak” and “Off-Peak” instead of “all” in the definition of “FP-Full Period”—add clarity and we will revise this definition accordingly. In addition, we will also adopt EEI's suggestion to change the verb tense in all the Increment Peaking Name definitions to clarify that the transactions being reported occurred in the past. III. Implementation Issues 83. EEI requests that changes requiring additional programming be kept to a minimum and adequate time be provided to implement any changes. The proposed changes to the EQR are minimal. Over the past five years, Commission staff has given filing guidance based on Order No. 2001 and related issuances. Little in this order goes beyond or changes that guidance, so this order should raise minimal implementation concerns. 84. Nonetheless, to minimize any impact on filers, the Commission is making the EQR Data Dictionary we are adopting in this order effective for the first quarter of 2008, rather than immediately. This effective date provides companies until the April 30, 2008 filing deadline to make their internal filing processes compliant with the EQR Data Dictionary. The new date has the additional benefit of creating a consistent data set across the calendar year. 85. CVPS requests that the Commission consider a size threshold for implementing new definitions or, if new definitions are to be adopted for all, that implementation be phased-in to allow smaller companies additional time to comply. In other words, CVPS is requesting that smaller companies would make their EQR filings based on one set of definitions, while everyone else would make their EQR filings based on a different set of definitions. 26 26 CVPS is not arguing here that small entities be excused from making EQR filings; rather, it is arguing that small entities be permitted to continue to make those filings under the Commission's prior guidance, without regard to the clarifications provided in the EQR Data Dictionary we are adopting in this order. 86. In Order No. 2001, the Commission indicated that it would “consider granting waivers in appropriate circumstances.” While several waivers have been issued, the Commission has found, over time, that the amount of effort to complete the EQR tends to correspond with the size of the company. Thus, small companies with few sales tend to have smaller EQRs and a correspondingly smaller filing burden. However, because the EQR is one of the foundations of the market-based rate program, the Commission has granted waivers sparingly and always in regard to a company's entire filing and not to particular parts of the filing. 87. The proportion of company size to filing size may not apply if the small entity sells to an RTO/ISO. A company making a single baseload energy sale into an ISO will have over 2,000 lines of transaction data during any given quarter. Three of the organized markets, NYISO, ISO-NE, and MISO, however, provide their participants data files intended to simplify the filing process. 88. The Commission will not waive compliance with the EQR Data Dictionary definitions for particular companies. It would be confusing and hinder the transparency provided by the EQR if some filers made their filings based on one set of definitions, while others made their filings based on another understanding of those terms. Moreover, it would undermine the purpose of adopting a standard set of definitions. The Commission will, however, entertain requests for extension of time to file Q1 2008 EQR filings in cases where companies' implementation of the Data Dictionary definitions is incomplete. 89. EEI's requests that the Commission clarify that the changes in filing requirements associated with the EQR Data Dictionary are prospective only and will not be applied to past filings. Of course, this is true. Nonetheless, the Commission will continue to expect that those companies that have been filing EQRs since 2002 comply with the then-effective filing requirements. 90. Finally, EEI notes that some ISO/RTOs have documented how they map their settlement billing elements to EQR products to generate their EQR-ready data files. EEI asks that the Commission review and endorse or correct these mappings. 91. The Commission is on record as endorsing this effort and encouraging Commission staff to work with the ISOs and their members to develop these maps so that the ISOs can provide EQR-ready data files to their members. 27 Commission staff has worked closely with the three ISOs that are providing this service as well as with the California Independent System Operator Corporation and PJM Interconnection, LLC, which have not yet competed these tasks. Commission staff has reviewed these maps for the ISOs and participated in long, detailed discussions at ISO Committee meetings to ensure their consistency with Commission policy. 27 Order No. 2001-E, 105 FERC ¶ 61,352 at P 11. 92. Nonetheless, the task of the instant proceeding is to create an EQR Data Dictionary. It is not the appropriate forum in which to address the specific issue of ISO data mappings for EQR-ready reports. Our finding here is without prejudice to this matter subsequently being raised in another proceeding. IV. Implementation Dates 93.

ACTION: Notice of public release. SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA)announces the availability of the EPA Web site, “Causal Analysis/Diagnosis Decision Information System (CADDIS)”—2007. EPA's National Center for Environmental Assessment

(NCEA)in the Office of Research and Development

(ORD)led the development of the CADDIS Web site in response to strong demand within the EPA (e.g., the Office of Water) and from stakeholders and citizens across the United States seeking a defensible method for determining causes of ecological impairment. CADDIS guides users through EPA's Stressor Identification process, with interactive tools and methods, worksheets, and examples to help scientists and engineers evaluate causes of biological impairment observed in aquatic systems such as streams, lakes, and estuaries. *Access:* The CADDIS 2007 Web site can be accessed via the Internet at *http://www.epa.gov/caddis/.* FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information about CADDIS, contact Rick Ziegler, NCEA, via phone: 202-564-2257, or e-mail: *Ziegler.rick@epa.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Thousands of water bodies in the United States have been reported to have an “unknown” cause of impairment. To formulate appropriate management actions for impaired water bodies, it is critical to identify the causes of biological impairment (e.g., excess fine sediments, nutrients, or toxic substances). Effective causal analyses call for knowledge of the mechanisms, symptoms, and stressor-response relationships for various stressors, as well as the ability to use that knowledge to draw appropriate, defensible conclusions. NCEA developed CADDIS, a Web-based decision support system, to help regional, state, and tribal scientists perform causal analyses. With this release, CADDIS will also help scientists find, access, organize, and share information useful for causal evaluations of impairment in aquatic systems. It is based on EPA's Stressor Identification process, which is an EPA-recommended method for identifying causes of impairments in aquatic environments. EPA released the first version of CADDIS in 2006, after addressing comments from the public and independently selected, external peer reviewers. The first release of CADDIS included a step-by-step guide to conducting causal analysis, downloadable worksheets and examples, a library of conceptual models, and links to useful information sources. CADDIS 2007 adds considerable power and usability to the first release. Namely, CADDIS ecologists and Web specialists made the following changes: • Added eight modules, each describing a common stressor or candidate cause of biological impairment; the stressor modules include metals, sediments, nutrients, dissolved oxygen, temperature, ionic strength, flow alteration, and unspecified toxic chemicals. • Added material on data analysis including: ○ Information on how nine analytical methods (e.g., scatter plots, linear regression, predicting environmental conditions from biological observations, quantile regression and species sensitivity distributions) can be used to analyze causal relationships. ○ CADStat, a downloadable software package for analyzing data using a variety of exploratory and statistical approaches. ○ SSD Generator, a tool for deriving species sensitivity distributions. ○ Databases of stressor-response information including chronic exposure-response relationships and species sensitivity distributions for metals from laboratory tests; and stressor-response associations from field observational data for metals and sediments. • Greatly expanded the conceptual model library by adding generic conceptual models for common causes of biological impairment. • Developed an interactive Flash-based conceptual model diagram for one common stressor (phosphorus), which provides source citations for cause-and-effect linkages shown in the diagram. (The CADDIS team anticipates this part of the site will expand to include other common stressors and—at some point in the future—harness information collaboratively from the greater scientific community.) • Updated CADDIS's underlying code, which adheres to EPA's latest Web guidelines, and—similar to the first release—continues to maintain accessibility and 508 compliance. The CADDIS 2007 release provides users with state-of-the-art causal assessment information and tools for determining why aquatic systems are biologically impaired. Ultimately, use of the CADDIS Web site translates to healthier ecosystems within the United States, while serving as an example stressor identification tool for our global environment.

Information About the Document EPA researchers conduct observational exposure studies to understand how and the extent to which people come into contact with chemicals in their everyday lives. The researchers and their managers take the protection of human subjects who participate in these observational studies very seriously. EPA wants to ensure that the procedures used in their studies meet or exceed the most up-to-date scientific and ethical standards. To address this goal, researchers at the Agency's National Exposure Research Lab

(NERL)have prepared this document to identify key scientific and ethical issues and to provide information and resources to assist researchers as they plan and implement observational exposure studies. This document is not meant to represent an official Agency “guidance document.” Moreover, it recognizes that researchers will work with others—EPA's Human Subjects Research Review Official, Institutional Review Board

(IRB)members, the participants and their community, and other stakeholders—to identify and address all of the relevant issues for any specific study to ensure that all participants are respected and protected. The draft document was developed through recommendations from nationally-recognized experts, public comment and external peer review in an open and transparent process. As part of this process, the document is being submitted to EPA's Human Studies Review Board (HSRB), which was established to provide advice, information, and recommendations on issues related to scientific and ethical aspects of human subjects research. Dated: September 26, 2007. Lawrence W. Reiter, Director, National Exposure Research Laboratory, Office of Research and Development. [FR Doc.

(202)418-0447. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *OMB Control No.:* 3060-0971. *Title:* Requests for “For Cause” Audits and State Commissions' Access to Numbering Resource Application Information (47 CFR 52.15). *Form No.:* N/A. *Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *Respondents:* Business or other for-profit; state, local or tribal government. *Number of Respondents:* 2,050 respondents; 50,500 responses. *Estimated Time per Response:* 15 minutes to 3 hours. *Frequency of Response:* Third Party Disclosure, and on occasion reporting requirements. *Obligation to Respond:* Required to obtain or retain benefits. *Total Annual Burden:* 14,000 hours. *Total Annual Cost:* None. *Privacy Impact Assessment:* None. *Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:* The Commission requires state commissions to treat carriers' applications for initial or growth numbering resources as well as their forecast and utilization data as confidential. In those instances where a state “open records” statute prevents the state from providing confidential protection for such sensitive carrier information the Commission will work with the state commission to enable it to obtain access to such information in a manner that addresses the state's need for this information and also protects the confidential nature of the carrier's sensitive information. *Needs and Uses:* To ensure that the numbering resources of the North American Numbering Plan are used efficiently, the Commission authorized “for cause” audits as part of its comprehensive audit plan to verify carrier compliance with federal rules and orders and industry guidelines. It also provided state commissions with access to copies of carriers' applications for numbering resources. To request a “for cause” audit, the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA), the Pooling Administrator or a state commission must draft a request to the auditor stating the reason for the request, such as misleading or inaccurate data, and attach supporting documentation. Requests for copies of carriers' applications for numbering resources are made directly to the carriers by the state commissions. The information collected will be used by the FCC, state commissions, the NANPA and the Pooling Administrator to verify the validity and accuracy of carrier data and to assist state commissions in carrying out their numbering responsibilities, such as area code relief. *OMB Control No.:* 3060-0972. *Title:* Multi-Association Group

(MAG)Plan Order, Parts 54 and 69 Filing Requirements for Regulation of Interstate Services of Non-Price Cap Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers and Interexchange Carriers. *Form No.:* FCC Forms 507, 508 & 509. *Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *Respondents:* Business or other for-profit; State, local or tribal government. *Number of Respondents:* 1,300 respondents; 9,959 responses. *Estimated Time per Response:* 1-90 hours. Frequency of Response: Third Party Disclosure, and on occasion reporting requirements. *Obligation to Respond:* Required to obtain or retain benefits. *Total Annual Burden:* 43,119 hours. *Total Annual Cost:* None. *Privacy Impact Assessment:* Not applicable. *Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:* There is no need for Confidentiality. *Needs and Uses:* To administer the Universal Service Interstate Common Line Support mechanism, the Administrator must collect projected cost and revenue data and actual cost and revenue data from non-price cap incumbent local exchange carriers and interexchange carriers. In order to implement change to the interstate access tariffs, the Commission must continue to collect certain tariff-related information. *OMB Control Number:* 3060-0809. *Title:* Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA). *Form Number:* Not applicable. *Type of Review:* Revision of a currently approved collection. *Respondents:* Business or other for profit entities. *Number of Respondents:* 250 respondents; 350 responses. *Estimated Time per Response:* 18 hours average (range of 7.5 to 80 hours). *Frequency of Response:* On occasion reporting requirements, recordkeeping requirement and third party disclosure. *Obligation to Respond:* Of the total number of responses, 250 are mandatory according to the CALEA statute, and 100 are necessary for applicants that seek relief under select provisions of the CALEA statute. *Total Annual Burden:* 6,275 hours. *Total Annual Cost:* N/A. *Privacy Impact Assessment:* No impact. *Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:* There is no need for confidentiality. *Needs and Uses:* The Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) requires the Commission to create rules that regulate the conduct and recordkeeping of lawful electronic surveillance. CALEA was enacted in October 1994 to respond to rapid advances in telecommunications technology and eliminates obstacles faced by law enforcement personnel in conducting electronic surveillance. Section 105 of CALEA requires telecommunications carriers to protect against the unlawful interception of communications passing through their systems. Law enforcement officials use the information maintained by telecommunications carriers to determine the accountability and accuracy of telecommunications carriers' compliance with lawful electronic surveillance orders. On May 12, 2006, the Commission released a *Second Report and Order and Memorandum Opinion and Order* in ET Docket No. 04-195, FCC 06-56, which became effective August 4, 2006, except for §§ 1.20004 and 1.20005 of the Commission's rules, which became effective on February 12, 2007 when OMB approved their information collection requirements. The Second Report and Order established new guidelines for filing section 107(c) petitions, section 109(b) petitions, and monitoring reports (FCC Form 445). The monitoring reports were required on only one occasion and no renewal of that requirement is necessary. CALEA section 107(c)(1) permits a petitioner to apply for an extension of time, up to two years from the date that the petition is filed, and to come into compliance with a particular CALEA section 103 capability requirement. CALEA section 109(b) permits a telecommunication carrier covered by CALEA to file a petition with the FCC and an application with the Department of Justice

(DOJ)to request that DOJ pay the costs of the carrier's CALEA compliance (cost-shifting relief) with respect to any equipment, facility or service installed or deployed after January 1, 1995. The Second Report and Order required several different collections of information:

(a)Within 90 days of the effective date of the Second Report and Order, facilities based broadband Internet access and interconnected Voice over Interconnected Protocol

(VOIP)providers newly identified in the First Report and Order in this proceeding were required to file system security statements under the Commission's rules (system security statements are currently approved under the existing OMB 3060-0809 information collection).

(b)All telecommunications carriers, including broadband Internet access and interconnected VoIP providers, must file updates to their systems security statements on file with the Commission as their information changes.

(c)Petitions filed under Section 107(c), request for additional time to comply with CALEA; these provisions apply to all carriers subject to CALEA and are voluntary filings.

(d)Section 109(b), request for reimbursement of CALEA; these provisions apply to all carriers subject to CALEA and are necessary for carriers seeking relief under this section of the CALEA statute. *OMB Control Number:* 3060-0207. *Title:* Emergency Alert System Information Collections. *Form Number:* Not applicable. *Type of Review:* Revision of a currently approved collection. *Respondents:* Business or other for-profit entities; State, Local or Tribal Governments; Non-profit entities. *Number of Respondents:* 63,060 respondents; 3,465,823 responses. *Estimated Time per Response:* 1 minute average (ranges from 1 minute to 20 hours). *Frequency of Response:* Recordkeeping requirements; Reporting requirements; Third party disclosure requirement. *Obligation to Respond:* Mandatory for private entities; Voluntary for states. *Total Annual Burden:* 63,366 hours. *Total Annual Cost:* None. *Privacy Impact Assessment:* No impact(s). *Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:* There is no need for confidentiality required for this information collection. *Needs and Uses:* In the Second Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in EB Docket No. 04-296, FCC 07-109, the Commission adopts rules that require states to file new EAS plans with the Commission under certain circumstances, expand the number of private entities covered by EAS, and impose new obligations on private entities. These new rules will impact currently existing paperwork collection requirements as discussed below: 47 CFR 11.15 requires EAS participants to maintain a copy of the EAS operating handbook at normal duty positions or EAS equipment locations when an operator is required to be on duty. The handbook must be immediately available to staff responsible for authenticating messages and initiating actions. 47 CFR 11.21 requires that state and local EAS plans be reviewed and approved by the Chief, Public Safety and Homeland Security, prior to implementation to ensure that they are consistent with national plans, FCC regulations, and EAS operation. 47 CFR 11.34 requires manufacturers to include instructions and information on how to install, operate and program an EAS Encoder, EAS Decoder, or combined unit and a list of all State and county FIPS numbers with each unit sold or marketed in the U.S. 47 CFR 11.35 requires appropriate entries be made in the station/system logs indicating why any required EAS tests were not received for all broadcast streams and cable systems. All other EAS Participants must also keep a record indicating reasons why any tests were not received and these records must be retained for two years, maintained at the EAS Participant's headquarters, and made available for public inspection upon reasonable request. 47 CFR 11.35 also requires that entries be made in the station/system logs, and records of other EAS Participants, when the EAS Encoder/Decoder becomes defective showing the date and time the equipment was removed and restored to service. If replacement of defective equipment is not completed within 60 days, an informal request must be submitted to the District Director of the FCC field office. For DBS and SDARS providers, this informal request shall be submitted to the District Director of the FCC field office serving the area where their headquarters is located. This request must explain what steps have been taken to repair or replace the defective equipment, the alternative procedures being used while the defective equipment is out of service and when the defective equipment will be repaired or replaced. 47 CFR 11.41 allows all EAS Participants to submit a written request to the FCC asking to be a Non-Participating National source. In addition, a Non-Participating National source that wants to become a Participating National source must submit a written request to the FCC. 47 CFR 11.42 allows a communications common carrier to participate in the national level EAS, without charge. A communications common carrier rendering free service is required to file with the FCC, on or before July 31st and January 31st of each year, reports covering the six months ending on June 30th and December 31st respectively. These reports shall state what free service was rendered under this rule and the charges in dollars which would have accrued to the carrier for this service if charges had been collected at the published tariff rates if such carriers are required to file tariffs. 47 CFR 11.43 allows entities to voluntarily participate in the national level EAS after submission of a written request to the Director, Office of Homeland Security, Enforcement Bureau. 47 CFR 11.51 requires that EAS equipment be operational, ready to monitor, transmit and receive EAS electronic signals. Cable and wireless cable systems, both analog and digital, can elect not to interrupt EAS messages from broadcast stations based upon a written agreement between all concerned. Furthermore, cable and wireless cable systems, both analog and digital, can elect not to interrupt the programming of a broadcast station carrying news or weather related emergency information with state and local EAS messages based upon a written agreement between all concerned. These written agreements are contained in state and local franchise agreements. 47 CFR 11.51 also requires all actions to be logged when manual interruption of programming and transmission of EAS messages is used. 47 CFR 11.52 requires all EAS Participants to monitor two EAS sources. If the required EAS sources cannot be received, alternate arrangements or a waiver may be obtained by written request to the FCC's EAS office. Automatic interrupt of programming is required when facilities are unattended. Automatic operation must provide a permanent record of the EAS message. 47 CFR 11.54 requires EAS Participants to enter into their logs/records the time of receipt of an emergency alert notice and an emergency action termination messages during a national level emergency. 47 CFR 11.55 requires EAS participants to monitor their emergency alert system upon receipt of a state or local area EAS message. Stations/systems must also enter into their logs/records the time of receipt of an emergency alert message. 47 CFR 11.61 requires EAS Participants to conduct periodic EAS tests. Tests of the EAS header codes, attention signal, test script and EOM code are required to be performed monthly. Tests of the EAS header codes and end of message codes are made at least once a week. National primary sources shall participate in tests as appropriate. DBS providers, Class D non-commercial educational FM stations and low power TV stations are not required to transmit this test but must log receipt of the test. The FCC may request a report of the tests of the national primary sources. In addition, entries must be made in stations/systems logs/records as previously stated. Federal Communications Commission.
