(202)208-3676. Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Rebecca H. Noecker, Beatty & Wozniak, P.C., 216 Sixteenth Street, Suite 1100, Denver, Colorado 80202, at

(303)407-4499, or e-mail *rnoecker@bwenergylaw.com* . 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 comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders in the proceeding. However, a person does not have to intervene 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 commentors 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 commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court review of the Commission's final order. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the “eFiling” link at *http://www.ferc.gov* . Persons unable to file electronically should submit an original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal Energy regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. This filing is accessible on-line at *http://www.ferc.gov* , using the “eLibrary” link and is available for review in the Commission's Public Reference Room in Washington, DC.

E8-13684 Filed 6-17-08; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. CP95-35-001] EcoEléctrica, L.P.; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Ecoeléctrica Terminal Modification Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues June 11, 2008. The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment

(EA)that will discuss the potential environmental impacts of the EcoEléctrica Terminal Modification Project (Project) involving construction and operation of natural gas pipeline facilities by EcoEléctrica, L.P. (EcoEléctrica) in Peñuelas, Puerto Rico. The EA will be used by the Commission in its decision-making process to determine whether the project is in the public convenience and necessity. This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested agencies on the project. Your input will help determine which issues need to be evaluated in the EA. Please note that the scoping period will close on July 11, 2008. Details on how to submit comments are provided in the Public Participation section of this notice. This notice is being sent to affected landowners; federal, state, and local government agencies; elected officials; other interested parties; and newspapers. State and local government representatives are asked to notify their constituents of this proposed project and to encourage them to comment on their areas of concern. A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled “An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?” addresses a number of typically asked questions, including the use of eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission's proceedings. It is available for viewing on the FERC Internet Web site ( *http://www.ferc.gov* ). Summary of the Proposed Project EcoEléctrica's Terminal Modification Project would provide up to 186 million cubic feet per day of natural gas to the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA). To accomplish this, EcoEléctrica proposes to: • Utilize a previously constructed natural gas pipeline at the existing EcoEléctrica liquefied natural gas

(LNG)terminal that extends to the facility fence line where it would interconnect with PREPA's facilities; and • Construct two additional vertical shell and tube heat exchanger vaporizers within its existing 36-acre site. Other required facilities associated with the vaporizers include: • Two fixed speed, in-tank LNG sendout pumps (one operational, one in-tank spare); • Three seawater heat exchangers (plate and frame type, one operational, and two spare); • Three water/glycol circulation pumps (one operational, two spare); • One water/glycol expansion tank at 1,800 gallons; • One seawater supply pump (warehouse spare) at 6,000 gallons per minute; and • Three seawater circulation pumps (one operational, two spare). All construction would take place within the existing LNG facility fence lines. These modifications would increase LNG ship traffic by one ship per month. The general location of the proposed facilities is shown in appendix 1. 1 1 The appendices referenced in this notice are not being printed in the **Federal Register** . Copies of all appendices are available on the Commission's Web site ( *http://www.fer.gov* ) at the “eLibrary” link or from the Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, or call

(202)502-8371. For instructions on connecting to eLibrary, refer to the “Additional Information” section of this notice. Copies of the appendices were sent to all those receiving this notice in the mail. Requests for detailed maps of the proposed facilities should be made directly to EcoEléctrica. Land Requirements for Construction The construction of the proposed Terminal Modification Project would be entirely within previously disturbed and currently maintained portions of the existing EcoEléctrica LNG terminal site. Construction of the Project would affect a total of 0.64 acre, of which 0.12 acre would be permanently changed with the installation of the new equipment. Following construction, 0.52 acre would be restored to pre-construction condition. No clearing of vegetation would be required for the Project. The EA Process We 2 are preparing this EA to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), which requires the Commission to take into account the environmental impact that could result if it authorizes EcoEléctrica's proposal. By this notice, we are also asking federal, state, and local agencies with jurisdiction and/or special expertise with respect to environmental issues to formally cooperate with us in the preparation of the EA. Agencies that would like to request cooperating status should follow the instructions for filing comments provided below. 2 “We”, “us”, and “our” refer to the environmental staff of the FERC's Office of Energy Projects. NEPA also requires the FERC to discover and address concerns the public may have about proposals. This process is referred to as “scoping.” The main goal of the scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on important environmental issues. By this Notice, we are requesting public comments on the scope of the issues to address in the EA. All comments received are considered during the preparation of the EA. The EA will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of the construction and operation of the proposed project under these general headings: • Geology and soils • Land use and visual quality • Cultural resources • Vegetation and wildlife (including threatened and endangered species) • Air quality and noise • Reliability and safety We will also evaluate possible alternatives to the proposed project or portions of the project, where necessary, and make recommendations on how to lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas. Our independent analysis of the issues will be presented in the EA. Depending on the comments received during the scoping process, the EA may be published and mailed to federal, state, and local agencies; public interest groups; interested individuals; affected landowners; local libraries and newspapers; and the Commission's official service list for this proceeding. A comment period will be allotted for review if the EA is published. We will consider all comments on the EA before we make our recommendations to the Commission. To ensure your comments are considered, please carefully follow the instructions in the Public Participation section below. Public Participation You can make a difference by providing us with your specific comments or concerns about the project. By becoming a commentor, your concerns will be addressed in the EA and considered by the Commission. You should focus on the potential environmental effects of the proposal, alternatives to the proposal, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impact. The more specific your comments, the more useful they will be. Please carefully follow these instructions to ensure that your comments are received in time and properly recorded: • Send an original and two copies of your letter to: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First St., NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426; • Label one copy of the comments for the attention of Gas Branch 1, PJ-11.1; • Reference Docket No. CP95-35-001; and • Mail your comments so that they will be received in Washington, DC on or before July 11, 2008. Please note that the Commission strongly encourages electronic filing of any comments. See Title 18 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Internet Web site at *http://www.ferc.gov* under the link to “Documents and Filings” and “eFiling.” eFiling is a file attachment process and requires that you prepare your submission in the same manner as you would if filing on paper, and save it to a file on your computer's hard drive. New eFiling users must first create an account by clicking on “Sign up” or “eRegister.” You will be asked to select the type of filing you are making. This filing is considered a “Comment on Filing.” In addition, there is a “ *Quick Comment* ” option available, which is an easy method for interested persons to submit text only comments on a project. The Quick-Comment User Guide can be viewed at *http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling/quick-comment-guide.pdf* . Quick Comment does not require a FERC eRegistration account; however, you will be asked to provide a valid e-mail address. All comments submitted under either eFiling or the Quick Comment option are placed in the public record for the specified docket. If you want to be kept on our environmental mailing list, you must provide an address along with your comment. Becoming an Intervenor In addition to involvement in the scoping process, you may want to become an official party to the proceeding known as an “intervenor.” Intervenors play a more formal role in the Commission's process. Among other things, intervenors have the right to receive copies of case-related Commission documents and filings by other intervenors. Likewise, each intervenor must send one electronic copy (using the Commission's eFiling system) or 14 paper copies of its filings to the Secretary of the Commission and must send a copy of its filings to all other parties on the Commission's service list for this proceeding. If you want to become an intervenor, you must file a motion to intervene according to Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214) (see appendix 2). 3 Only intervenors have the right to seek rehearing of the Commission's decision. 3 Interventions may also be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper. See the previous discussion on filing comments electronically. Affected landowners and parties with environmental concerns may be granted intervenor status upon showing good cause by stating that they have a clear and direct interest in this proceeding which would not be adequately represented by any other parties. You do not need intervenor status to have your environmental comments considered. Environmental Mailing List As described above, we may mail the EA for comment. If you are interested in receiving an EA for review and/or comment, please return the Environmental Mailing List Mailer (appendix 3). If you do not return the Environmental Mailing List Mailer, you will be taken off the mailing list. All individuals who provide written comments will remain on our environmental mailing list for this project.

(202)564-4775; e-mail address: *hashem.abeer@epa.gov* . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. What Information is EPA Particularly Interested in? Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of PRA, EPA specifically solicits comments and information to enable it to: 1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical utility. 2. Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimates of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used. 3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected. 4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork burden for very small businesses affected by this collection. II. What Should I Consider when I Prepare My Comments for EPA? You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your comments: 1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific examples. 2. Describe any assumptions that you used. 3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used that support your views. 4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you arrived at the estimate that you provide. 5. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns. 6. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity. 7. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified under DATES . 8. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and **Federal Register** citation. III. What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does this Action Apply to? *Affected entities* : Entities potentially affected by this action are companies that manufacture, process, import, or distribute in commerce chemical substances or mixtures. *Title* : TSCA Section 5(a)(2) Significant New Use Rules for Existing Chemicals. *ICR numbers* : EPA ICR No. 1188.09, OMB Control No. 2070-0038. *ICR status* : This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on March 31, 2009. 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* : Section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act

(TSCA)provides EPA with a regulatory mechanism to monitor and, if necessary, control significant new uses of chemical substances. Section 5 authorizes EPA to determine by rule (a significant new use rule or SNUR), after considering all relevant factors, that a use of a chemical substance represents a significant new use. If EPA determines that a use of a chemical substance is a significant new use, section 5 requires persons to submit a significant new use notice

(SNUN)to EPA at least 90 days before they manufacture, import, or process the substance for that use. EPA uses the information obtained through this collection to evaluate the health and environmental effects of the significant new use. EPA may take regulatory actions under TSCA section 5, 6, or 7 to control the activities for which it has received a SNUR notice. These actions include orders to limit or prohibit the manufacture, importation, processing, distribution in commerce, use or disposal of chemical substances. If EPA does not take action, section 5 also requires EPA to publish a **Federal Register** document explaining the reasons for not taking action. Responses to the collection of information are mandatory (see 40 CFR part 721). Respondents may claim all or part of a notice confidential. EPA will disclose information that is covered by a claim of confidentiality only to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the procedures in TSCA section 14 and 40 CFR part 2. *Burden statement* : The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to be 118.9 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. The ICR provides a detailed explanation of this estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: *Estimated total number of potential respondents* : 10. *Frequency of response* : On occasion. *Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent* : 1. *Estimated total annual burden hours* : 1,423 hours. *Estimated total annual costs* : $99,403. This includes an estimated burden cost of $99,403 and an estimated cost of $0 for capital investment or maintenance and operational costs IV. Are There Changes in the Estimates from the Last Approval? There is an increase of 562 hours (from 861 hours to 1,423 hours) in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase reflects EPA's current estimate of the number of SNURs promulgated each year and the number of SNUNs received each year. This change is an adjustment. V. 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. 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 .

What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does this Action Apply to? *Affected entities* : Entities potentially affected by this action are companies that formulate end-use, for-sale chemical products. *Title* : Reporting Requirements Under EPA's Design for the Environment

(DfE)Formulator Product Recognition Program. *ICR numbers* : EPA ICR No. 2302.01, OMB Control No. 2070-new. *ICR status* : This ICR is for a new information collection activity. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the **Federal Register** when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by publication in the **Federal Register** or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. *Abstract* : EPA's DfE Formulator Product Recognition Program formally recognizes safer products where all ingredients have an environmental and human health profile showing that they are the safest in their functional use class. Under the encouragement of this program, leading companies have made great progress in developing safer, highly effective chemical products. Since the program's inception in 1997, formulators have used the program as a portal to OPPT's unique chemical expertise, information resources, and guidance on greener chemistry. DfE Formulator partners enjoy Agency recognition, including the use of the DfE logo on products with the safest possible formulations. In the future, EPA expects much greater program participation due to rising demand for safer products. This information collection enables EPA to accommodate participation by more than nine formulators each year and to enhance program transparency. Information collection activities associated with this program will assist the Agency in meeting the goals of the Pollution Prevention Act

(PPA)by providing resources and recognition for businesses committed to promoting and using safer chemical products. In turn, the program will help businesses meet corporate sustainability goals by providing the means to, and an objective measure of, environmental stewardship. Investment analysts and advisers seek these types of measures in evaluating a corporation's sustainability profile and investment worthiness. Formulator Program partnership is an important impetus for prioritizing and completing the transition to safer chemical products. The Formulator Program is also needed to promote greater use of safer chemical products by companies unaware of the benefits of such a change. EPA has tailored its request for information, and especially the Formulator Product Recognition Program application forms, to ensure that the Agency requests only that information essential to verify applicants' eligibility for recognition. Responses to the collection of information are voluntary. Respondents may claim all or part of a notice confidential. EPA will disclose information that is covered by a claim of confidentiality only to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the procedures in TSCA section 14 and 40 CFR part 2. *Burden statement* : The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to range between 12 and 15 hours per response, depending upon the type of product the respondent manufactures. 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.

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 regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. *Abstract:* The Clean Water Act, as amended by “The Water Quality Act of 1987” (U.S.C. 1381-1387 et seq.), created a Title VI which authorizes grants to States for the establishment of State Water Pollution Control Revolving Funds (SRFs). The information collection activities will occur primarily at the program level through the State “Intended Use Plan” and “Annual Report”. The information is needed annually to implement Section 606 of the Clean Water Act (CWA). The 1987 Act declares that water pollution control revolving funds shall be administered by an instrumentality of the State subject to the requirements of the Act. This means that each State has a general responsibility for administering its revolving fund and must take on certain specific responsibilities in carrying out its administrative duties. The information collection activities will occur primarily at the program level through the State Intended Use Plan and Annual Report. The information is needed annually to implement section 606 of the Clean Water Act (CWA). The Act requires the information to ensure national accountability, adequate public comment and review, fiscal integrity and consistent management directed to achieve environmental benefits and results. The individual information collections are:

(1)Capitalization Grant Application and Agreement/State Intended Use Plan,

(2)State Annual Report,

(3)State Annual Audit, and

(4)Application for SRF Financial Assistance.

(1)Capitalization Grant Application and Agreement/State Intended Use Plan: The State will prepare a Capitalization Grant application that includes an Intended Use Plan

(IUP)outlining in detail how it will use all the funds available to the fund. The grant agreement contains or incorporates by reference the IUP, application materials, payment schedule, and required assurances. The bulk of the information is provided in the IUP, the legal agreement which commits the State and EPA to execute their responsibilities under the Act.

(2)State Annual Report: The State must agree to complete and submit a State Annual Report that indicates how the State has met the goals and objectives of the previous fiscal year as stated in the IUP and grant agreement. The report provides information on loan recipients, loan amounts, loan terms, project categories, and similar data on other forms of assistance. The report describes the extent to which the existing SRF financial operating policies, alone or in combination with other State financial assistance programs, will provide for the long term fiscal health of the Fund and carry out other provisions specified in the grant operating agreement.

(3)State Annual Audit: Most States have agreed to conduct or have conducted a separate financial audit of the Capitalization Grant which will provide opinions on the financial statements, and a report on the internal controls and compliance with program requirements. The remaining States will be covered by audits conducted under the requirements of the Single Audit Act and by EPA's Office of Inspector General.

(4)Application for SRF Financial Assistance: Local communities and other eligible entities have to prepare and submit applications for SRF assistance to their respective State Agency which manages the SRF program. The State reviews the completed loan applications, and verifies that the proposed projects will comply with applicable Federal and State requirements. *Burden Statement:* The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 108.73 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. *Respondents/Affected Entities:* State and Local governments; local communities and tribes. *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 3,825. *Frequency of Response:* Annually. *Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:* 415,905. *Estimated Total Annual Cost:* $11,118,000 in labor costs and $0 for both annualized capital costs and O&M costs. *Changes in the Estimates:* There is an increase of 76,500 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This increase reflects EPA's acceptance of additional loan applicants for the State SRF loan program. The increase in burden hours is the time needed to process and report on these loans on an annual basis. Dated: June 4, 2008. Sara Hisel-McCoy, Director, Collection Strategies Division. [FR Doc.

To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and **Federal Register** citation. What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does this Apply to? *Affected entities:* Entities potentially affected by this action are the EPA Partner Organizations that provide SC3 resources and services to schools. *Title:* Information Collection Request for the Schools Chemical Cleanout Campaign (SC3). *ICR numbers:* EPA ICR No. 2285.01. *ICR status:* This ICR is for a new information collection activity. 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:* The Schools Chemical Cleanout Campaign

(SC3)was created in 2004, building on regional, state, tribal, and local SC3 programs across the nation. The National SC3 program was launched in March of 2007. The National SC3 program uses a variety of innovative approaches to achieve three goals:

(1)Removal of outdated and dangerous chemicals from K-12 schools;

(2)prevention of future accumulations of chemicals and reduction of accidents by establishing prevention activities such as good purchasing and management practices; and,

(3)raising national awareness of the problem. One of the ways that EPA accomplishes its goals is by partnering with organizations that volunteer to assist schools in the management of the schools' chemicals and the removal of schools' chemical waste. There are currently eleven Partners. To evaluate the current state of the program and determine what the future direction should be, EPA intends to conduct a voluntary survey of its industry Partners to gather information on their activities and the results of their work under the program. To this end, EPA has prepared a draft survey form with four main goals: • Collect general information about the Partners (e.g., reasons for joining the SC3 Program, future plans, etc.); • Identify the accomplishments of Partners under the SC3 Program; • Identify additional resources needed by Partners to accomplish their goals; and • Collect lessons learned from Partners on what has worked and what has not worked under the Program, so this information can be shared with others. EPA intends to ask Partners to complete and submit the survey annually. The survey will be available to Partners in an electronic format. They can submit completed surveys by e-mail, postal mail, or fax. *Burden Statement:* The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average one hour per response for Partners to complete the survey for the first time and forty-five minutes for Partners to update the survey in subsequent years. 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 will provide a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: *Estimated total annual number of potential respondents:* 33. *Frequency of response:* Annually. *Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:* One per year. *Estimated total annual burden hours:* 28 hours. *Estimated total annual costs:* $1,247. This includes an estimated cost of $1,247 for labor and an estimated cost of $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 .

Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific examples. 2. Describe any assumptions that you used. 3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used that support your views. 4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you arrived at the estimate that you provide. 5. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns. 6. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity. 7. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified under DATES . 8. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and **Federal Register** citation. III. What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does this Action Apply to? *Affected entities* : Entities potentially affected by this action are companies that manufacture, process, import, or distribute in commerce chemical substances or mixtures. *Title* : Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements for Allegations of Significant Adverse Reactions to Human Health or the Environment. *ICR numbers* : EPA ICR No. 1031.09, OMB Control No. 2070-0017. *ICR status* : This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on January 31, 2009. 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* : The Toxic Substances Control Act

(TSCA)section 8(c) requires companies that manufacture, process, or distribute chemicals to maintain records of significant adverse reactions to health or the environment alleged to have been caused by such chemicals. Since section 8(c) includes no automatic reporting provision, EPA can obtain and use the information contained in company files only by inspecting those files or requiring reporting of records that relate to specific substances of concern. Therefore, under certain conditions, and using the provisions found in 40 CFR part 717, EPA may require companies to report such allegations to the Agency. EPA uses such information on a case-specific basis to corroborate suspected adverse health or environmental effects of chemicals already under review by EPA. The information is also useful to identify trends of adverse effects across the industry that may not be apparent to any one chemical company. Responses to the collection of information are mandatory (see 40 CFR part 717). Respondents may claim all or part of a notice confidential. EPA will disclose information that is covered by a claim of confidentiality only to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the procedures in TSCA section 14 and 40 CFR part 2. *Burden statement* : The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to range between 1 minute and 8 hours per response, depending upon the nature of the response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. The ICR provides a detailed explanation of this estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: *Estimated total number of potential respondents* : 13,521. *Frequency of response* : On occasion. *Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent* : 0.43. *Estimated total annual burden hours* : 23,536 hours. *Estimated total annual costs* : $1,486,311. This includes an estimated burden cost of $1,486,311 and an estimated cost of $0 for capital investment or maintenance and operational costs. IV. Are There Changes in the Estimates from the Last Approval? There is a decrease of 1,012 hours (from 24,548 hours to 23,536 hours) in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease primarily reflects EPA's current estimate of the number of employees in affected respondent companies. Because the allegation rate is based on the number of employees, the decrease in the estimated number of employees results in a decrease in total allegations, and thus a reduction in burden. This change is an adjustment. V. 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. 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 .

The Agency encourages that each individual or group wishing to make brief oral comments to the FIFRA SAP submit their request to the DFO listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT no later than September 2, 2008, in order to be included on the meeting agenda. Requests to present oral comments will be accepted until the date of the meeting and, to the extent that time permits, the Chair of the FIFRA SAP may permit the presentation of oral comments at the meeting by interested persons who have not previously requested time. The request should identify the name of the individual making the presentation, the organization (if any) the individual will represent, and any requirements for audiovisual equipment (e.g., overhead projector, 35 mm projector, chalkboard). Oral comments before the FIFRA SAP are limited to approximately 5 minutes unless prior arrangements have been made. In addition, each speaker should bring 30 copies of his or her comments and presentation slides for distribution to the FIFRA SAP at the meeting. 3. *Seating at the meeting* . Seating at the meeting will be on a first-come basis. 4. *Request for nominations to serve as ad hoc members of the FIFRA SAP for this meeting* . As part of a broader process for developing a pool of candidates for each meeting, the FIFRA SAP staff routinely solicits the stakeholder community for nominations of prospective candidates for service as ad hoc members of the FIFRA SAP. Any interested person or organization may nominate qualified individuals to be considered as prospective candidates for a specific meeting. Individuals nominated for this meeting should have expertise in one or more of the following areas: Pyrethroid pesticides; voltage-sensitive sodium channels; mode of action analysis; motor activity and functional observational battery; and dose Response modeling. Nominees should be scientists who have sufficient professional qualifications, including training and experience, to be capable of providing expert comments on the scientific issues for this meeting. Nominees should be identified by name, occupation, position, address, and telephone number. Nominations should be provided to the DFO listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT on or before July 2, 2008. The Agency will consider all nominations of prospective candidates for this meeting that are received on or before this date. However, final selection of ad hoc members for this meeting is a discretionary function of the Agency. The selection of scientists to serve on the FIFRA SAP is based on the function of the panel and the expertise needed to address the Agency's charge to the panel. No interested scientists shall be ineligible to serve by reason of their membership on any other advisory committee to a Federal department or agency or their employment by a Federal department or agency except the EPA. Other factors considered during the selection process include availability of the potential panel member to fully participate in the panel's reviews, absence of any conflicts of interest or appearance of lack of impartiality, independence with respect to the matters under review, and lack of bias. Although, financial conflicts of interest, the appearance of lack of impartiality, lack of independence, and bias may result in disqualification, the absence of such concerns does not assure that a candidate will be selected to serve on the FIFRA SAP. Numerous qualified candidates are identified for each panel. Therefore, selection decisions involve carefully weighing a number of factors including the candidates' areas of expertise and professional qualifications and achieving an overall balance of different scientific perspectives on the panel. In order to have the collective breadth of experience needed to address the Agency's charge for this meeting, the Agency anticipates selecting approximately 10 ad hoc scientists. The FIFRA SAP members are subject to the provisions of 5 CFR part 2634, Executive Branch Financial Disclosure, as supplemented by the EPA in 5 CFR part 6401. In anticipation of this requirement, prospective candidates for service on the FIFRA SAP will be asked to submit confidential financial information which shall fully disclose, among other financial interests, the candidate's employment, stocks and bonds, and where applicable, sources of research support. The EPA will evaluate the candidates financial disclosure form to assess whether there are financial conflicts of interest, appearance of a lack of impartiality or any prior involvement with the development of the documents under consideration (including previous scientific peer review) before the candidate is considered further for service on the FIFRA SAP. Those who are selected from the pool of prospective candidates will be asked to attend the public meetings and to participate in the discussion of key issues and assumptions at these meetings. In addition, they will be asked to review and to help finalize the meeting minutes. The list of FIFRA SAP members participating at this meeting will be posted on the FIFRA SAP website at *http://epa.gov/scipoly/sap* or may be obtained from the OPP Regulatory Public Docket at *http://www.regulations.gov* . II. Background A. Purpose of the FIFRA SAP The FIFRA SAP serves as the primary scientific peer review mechanism of EPA's Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances

(OPTS)and is structured to provide scientific advice, information and recommendations to the EPA Administrator on pesticides and pesticide-related issues as to the impact of regulatory actions on health and the environment. The FIFRA SAP is a Federal advisory committee established in 1975 under FIFRA that operates in accordance with requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act. The FIFRA SAP is composed of a permanent panel consisting of seven members who are appointed by the EPA Administrator from nominees provided by the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. FIFRA, as amended by FQPA, established a Science Review Board consisting of at least 60 scientists who are available to the Scientific Advisory Panel on an ad hoc basis to assist in reviews conducted by the Scientific Advisory Panel. As a peer review mechanism, the FIFRA SAP provides comments, evaluations and recommendations to improve the effectiveness and quality of analyses made by Agency scientists. Members of the FIFRA SAP are scientists who have sufficient professional qualifications, including training and experience, to provide expert advice and recommendation to the Agency. B. Public Meeting Pyrethroid pesticide usage has increased in the past decade in agricultural and residential settings. The Office of Pesticide Programs is in the early stages of evaluating the potential risks from increased exposure to these pesticides. As part of this evaluation, OPP is developing an analysis of the toxicity profiles of these pesticides and is evaluating whether or not some or all of the pyrethroid pesticides share a common mechanism of action (i.e., those pesticides that produce a common toxic effect by a common mechanism of toxicity). The Agency will be seeking the Scientific Advisory Panel's advice on a set of scientific issues raised in a draft science policy document proposing to establish a common mechanism group for the pyrethroid pesticides. The proposed grouping may include two or more sub-groups. Establishing a common mechanism group is the first stage toward developing a cumulative risk assessment as required under the Food Quality Protection Act. Pending the outcome of this panel review, the Agency may begin work on the cumulative risk assessment for those pyrethroid pesticides that are determined to share a common mechanism. The Agency will be seeking advice from the SAP on the following areas related to the toxicity of the pyrethroid pesticides: 1. Interpretation of *in vivo* motor activity and functional observational battery; 2. Interpretation of recent *in vitro* literature studies involving sodium, calcium, and chloride channels; 3. Structural and functional similarities among these chemicals; and 4. The variability of animal studies conducted by different routes of administration and vehicles (e.g., dietary admix or corn oil vehicle gavage). C. FIFRA SAP Documents and Meeting Minutes EPA's background paper, related supporting materials, charge/questions to the FIFRA SAP, FIFRA SAP composition (i.e., members and ad hoc members for this meeting), and the meeting agenda will be available by mid-August. In addition, the Agency may provide additional background documents as the materials become available. You may obtain electronic copies of these documents, and certain other related documents that might be available electronically, at *http://www.regulations.gov* and the FIFRA SAP homepage at *http://www.epa.gov/scipoly/sap* . The FIFRA SAP will prepare meeting minutes summarizing its recommendations to the Agency approximately 90 days after the meeting. The meeting minutes will be posted on the FIFRA SAP website or may be obtained from the OPP Regulatory Public Docket at *http://www.regulations.gov* .

CASAC provides advice, information and recommendations on the scientific and technical aspects of air quality criteria and national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) under section 109 of the Act. The CASAC is a federal advisory committee chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C., App. The Panel will comply with the provisions of FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies. Under the Clean Air Act, EPA is required to carry out a periodic review and revision, as appropriate, of the air quality criteria and the NAAQS for six criteria air pollutants, which include sulfur oxides. Primary standards set limits to protect public health, including the health of “sensitive” populations such as asthmatics, children, and the elderly. EPA is in the process of reviewing the primary National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for sulfur oxides. As part of that process, EPA's Office of Research and Development (EPA-ORD) issued the first draft of its *Integrated Science Assessment for Sulfur Oxides—Health Criteria* (EPA/600/R-07/108) in September of 2007 and received CASAC's advice in a public meeting on December 6-7, 2007 as well as in a letter to the Administrator on January 9, 2008. EPA-ORD has now updated and revised its draft document, *Integrated Science Assessment for Sulfur Oxides—Health Criteria (Second External Review Draft,* EPA/600/R-08/047). EPA's Office of Air and Radiation (EPA-OAR) released its *Sulfur Oxides Health Assessment Plan: Scope and Methods for Exposure and Risk Assessment* in November 2007 and received consultative advice from CASAC in the public meeting of December 6-7, 2007. EPA-OAR is completing its draft document: *Risk and Exposure Assessment to Support the Review of the SO* 2 *Primary National Ambient Air Quality Standards: First Draft.* The purpose of the July 30-31 meeting is for the CASAC Panel to conduct a review of these two documents. The purpose of the August 12, 2008 teleconference is for the CASAC to finalize its draft advisory report on the Agency's Risk and Exposure Assessment. *Technical Contact:* Any questions concerning EPA's *Integrated Science Assessment for Sulfur Oxides—Health Criteria (Second External Review Draft)* should be directed to Dr. Jee Young Kim in EPA's Office of Research and Development at 919-541-4157 or *kim.jee-young@epa.gov.* Any questions concerning *EPA's Risk and Exposure Assessment to Support the Review of the SO* 2 *Primary National Ambient Air Quality Standards:* *First Draft* should be directed to Dr. Stephen Graham in EPA's Office of Air and Radiation at 919-541-4344 or *graham.stephen@epa.gov.* Availability of Meeting Materials: EPA-ORD's *Integrated Science Assessment for Sulfur Oxides—Health Criteria (Second External Review Draft)* can be accessed at *http://cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/cfm/recordisplay.cfm?deid=190346.* EPA-OAR's Risk and Exposure Assessment to Support the Review of the SO 2 Primary National Ambient Air Quality Standards: First Draft will be available at *http://www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/standards/so2/s_so2_index.html* .

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: The State of Alaska has submitted a request for approval of an Alaska version of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program, pursuant to section 402 of the Clean Water Act (CWA or “the Act”). With this request, the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation

(ADEC)seeks approval to administer a program regulating discharges of pollutants into waters of the United States under its jurisdiction. The State's request includes an implementation plan that transfers the administration of specific program components from EPA to the State over a three year period from the date of program approval. If EPA approves the Alaska Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (APDES) program application, the State will administer this program, subject to continuing EPA oversight and enforcement authority, in place of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program now administered by EPA in Alaska. Today, EPA is requesting comments on the State's request and is providing notice of public hearings and comment period on that proposal. EPA will either approve or disapprove the State's request after considering all comments it receives.

(907)271-6328, *kellogg.greg@epa.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 402 of the CWA created the NPDES program under which EPA may issue permits for the point source discharge of pollutants to waters of the United States under conditions required by the Act. Section 402 also provides that EPA may approve a State to administer an equivalent state program, upon the Governor's request, provided the State has appropriate legal authority and a program sufficient to meet the Act's requirements. The regulatory requirements for state program approval are set forth in 40 CFR Part 123, and 40 CFR 123.21 lists the basic elements of an approvable application. EPA Region 10 considers the documents submitted by the State of Alaska to be administratively complete at the time of this notice. EPA will not make a final decision on APDES program approval until after:

(1)Considering all public comments provided during the public comment period and from the public hearings;

(2)completion of EPA's evaluation of, and if necessary consultation with the National Marine Fisheries Service on, the affects program approval may have on essential fish habitat, in accordance with section 305(b) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act; and

(3)completion of government to government tribal consultations, as requested, with federally recognized tribes in Alaska. By letter dated June 29, 2006, the Governor of Alaska requested NPDES program approval and submitted an application that included a program description, an Attorney General's statement, copies of applicable State statutes and regulations, and a Memorandum of Agreement

(MOA)to be executed by the Regional Administrator of EPA Region 10 and the Commissioner of ADEC. EPA received this package of materials on July 5, 2006. EPA Region 10 determined that Alaska's approval request did not constitute a complete package under 40 CFR 123.21, and notified the Governor of Alaska on August 1, 2006, in writing of its concerns. On October 31, 2006, EPA sent ADEC a comprehensive list of comments on the July 5, 2006 application. Thereafter, by letter dated April 22, 2008, the Governor of Alaska requested NPDES program approval and submitted an application that includes a program description, an Attorney General's statement, copies of applicable State statutes and regulations, and a Memorandum of Agreement

(MOA)to be executed by the Regional Administrator of EPA Region 10 and the Commissioner of ADEC. EPA received this package of materials on May 1, 2008. EPA Region 10 determined that the APDES program application received on May 1, 2008, along with revisions received up to June 9, 2008, constitute a complete package under 40 CFR 123.21. A letter of completeness was sent to the Commissioner of ADEC on June 10, 2008. The State of Alaska is applying to administer the NPDES permitting, compliance and enforcement programs for individual and general permits, as well as for the pretreatment and stormwater programs in Alaska. The State is not applying to regulate the disposal of sewage sludge (Bio-Solids Program) in Alaska. If EPA approves the State's program, EPA will retain NPDES permitting authority and primary enforcement responsibility over the Bio-Solids Program in accordance with section 405 of the Act and 40 CFR part 503. The State does not have the authority to administer the NPDES program for facilities operating in the Denali National Park and Preserve pursuant to Alaska Statehood Act section 11; the United States has exclusive jurisdiction over the Denali National Park and Preserve. Additionally, the State does not have jurisdiction to administer the NPDES program over facilities discharging in Indian Country as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151; facilities operating outside state waters (three miles offshore), or over facilities with CWA section 301(h) waivers. If EPA approves the State's program, EPA will retain NPDES permitting authority and primary enforcement responsibility over these facilities. The State of Alaska has asked to assume responsibility for the NPDES programs in phases, pursuant to the CWA section 402(n)(4). Alaska's application appears to meet the requirements for such a phased approach. In accordance with CWA section 402(n)(4), EPA may approve a phased permit program covering administration of a major component that represents a significant and identifiable part of the NPDES program. The State proposes to assume administration of the NPDES program by phases within 5 years after submission of the application, and agrees to make all reasonable efforts to assume such administration by such date. Specifically, ADEC's approval request includes a schedule for EPA to transfer permit, compliance, and enforcement responsibility for the NPDES program to DEC over three years from the date of APDES program approval. The following schedule identifies the phasing plan for when the APDES program will begin the administration of permitting, compliance, and enforcement activities associated with each major component: Phase I, at program approval the APDES program will include: Domestic Discharges, Timber Harvesting, Seafood Processing Facilities and Hatcheries. Phase II, one year from program approval the APDES program will add: Federal Facilities, Stormwater Program (excluding the Bio-Solids Program), Pretreatment Program, and miscellaneous non-domestic discharges. Phase III, two years from program approval the APDES program will add Mining. Phase IV, three years from program approval the APDES program will add: Oil and Gas, Cooling water intakes and dischargers, Munitions, and all other remaining facilities. Pursuant to 40 CFR 123.21 and 123.61(b), the EPA must approve or disapprove the submitted APDES program (which has been determined to be complete) within 90 days of receipt, unless this review period is extended by mutual EPA-State agreement. To obtain program approval, the State must show, among other things that it has the authority to issue permits which comply with the Act, authority to impose civil and criminal penalties for permit violations, and authority to ensure that the public is given notice and an opportunity for a hearing on each proposed permit. After close of the comment period and completion of the required consultations, the Regional Administrator for EPA Region 10 will make a decision to approve or disapprove the APDES program based on the requirements of Section 402 of the CWA and 40 CFR 123. If the Regional Administrator approves the Alaska program, the Regional Administrator will so notify the State and sign the proposed MOA. Notice would be published in the **Federal Register** and, as of the date of program approval, EPA would suspend issuance of NPDES permits in Alaska in accordance with the State's approved schedule to transfer NPDES program authority as described in the State's phasing plan. If EPA's Regional Administrator disapproves the APDES program, ADEC will be notified of the reasons for disapproval and of any revisions or modifications to the program that are necessary to obtain approval. *Educational Meetings.* The educational meetings will include a technical overview of both the federal and state programs. ADEC will participate with EPA during the educational portion of the meetings. *Public Hearing Procedures.* The public hearings will be conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 124.12 and will provide interested parties with the opportunity to give written and/or oral comments for the official record. The following procedures will be used at the public hearings.

(1)The Presiding Officer shall conduct the hearing in a manner which will allow all interested persons wishing to make oral statements an opportunity to do so; however, the Presiding Officer may inform attendees of any time limits during the opening statement of the hearing.

(2)Any person may submit written statements or documents for the hearing record.

(3)The Presiding Officer may, in his discretion, exclude oral testimony if such testimony is overly repetitious of previous testimony or is not relevant to the decision to approve the submitted State APDES program.

(4)The transcript taken at the hearing, together with copies of all submitted statements and documents, shall become a part of the record submitted to the Regional Administrator.

(5)The hearing record shall be left open until the deadline for receipt of comments specified at the beginning of this Notice to allow any person time to submit additional written statements or to present views or evidence tending to rebut testimony presented at the public hearing.

(6)Hearing statements may be oral or written. Written copies of oral statements are urged for accuracy of the record and for use of the Hearing Panel and other interested persons. Persons wishing to make oral testimony supporting their written comments are encouraged to give a summary of their points rather than reading lengthy written comments verbatim into the record. All comments received by EPA Region 10 by the deadline for receipt of comments, or presented at the public hearing, will be considered by EPA before taking final action on Alaska's request for NPDES program approval. *Summary of the Alaska Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (APDES) Program Submission.* The ADEC application for program approval applies to discharges into waters of the United States covered by the authority of that Agency. This includes most discharges of pollutants subject to the federal NPDES program (e.g., municipal wastewater and stormwater point source discharges, pretreatment, industrial wastewater and stormwater point source discharges; and point source discharges from federal facilities). ADEC is not seeking authority to regulate the discharges of sewage sludge (Bio-Solids Program). The APDES program is fully described in documents the State has submitted in accordance with 40 CFR 123.21, which include the following: a letter from the Governor requesting program approval; a Memorandum of Agreement

(MOA)for execution by ADEC and EPA; a Program Description outlining the procedures, personnel and protocols that will be relied on to implement the State's permitting, compliance and enforcement program; a Statement signed by the Attorney General that describes the State's legal authority to administer a program equivalent to the federal NPDES program; and a description of the State's Continuing Planning Process. The following is a summary of these documents: *Governor's Letter:* Alaska's application for program approval includes a letter dated April 22, 2008, from Governor Sarah Palin officially requesting NPDES program approval pursuant to 40 CFR 123.21(a)(1). *Memorandum of Agreement (MOA):* The requirements for the MOA are found in 40 CFR 123.24. An MOA is a document signed by each Agency, committing them to specific responsibilities relevant to the administration and enforcement of the State's regulatory program. An MOA specifies these responsibilities and provides structure for the State's program management and EPA's program oversight. The MOA submitted by the State of Alaska has been signed by the Commissioner of the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation. The Regional Administrator of U.S. EPA Region 10 will sign the document if the MOA and the program have been determined approvable after all comments received during the comment period have been considered. *Program Description:* A program description submitted by a State seeking program approval must meet the minimum requirements of 40 CFR 123.22. It must provide a narrative description of the scope, structure, coverage, and processes of the State program; a description of the organization and staffing for the lead State agency; and itemized costs and funding sources for the program for the first two years after program approval. It must describe all applicable State procedures (including administrative procedures for the issuance of permits and administrative or judicial procedures for their review) and include copies of forms used in the program. It must further contain a complete description of the State's compliance and enforcement tracking program. *Attorney General's Statement:* An Attorney General's Statement is required and described in regulations found at 40 CFR 123.23. The State Attorney General must certify that the State has lawfully adopted statutes and regulations which provide the State agency with the legal authority to administer a permitting program in compliance with 40 CFR Part 123. The Attorney General's Statement from Alaska certifies that the State of Alaska has the legal authority to administer the APDES program described in the program description. *Continuing Planning Process:* The State has submitted a description of its Continuing Planning process in accordance with CWA Section 303(e) and 40 CFR 130.5. This document describes the State's planning processes for developing effluent limitations, total maximum daily loads (TMDLs), and water quality standards, among other things. The State plans to update this document, when necessary, to reflect significant changes to the process or new or amended federal regulations or guidance. *Public Comment on the Described Program.* The program submitted by the State of Alaska has been determined by EPA to be complete in accordance with the regulations found at 40 CFR part 123. EPA and ADEC want to encourage public participation in this authorization process so that the citizens of Alaska will understand the program in their State. Therefore, EPA requests the public to review the program that ADEC has submitted and provide any comments they feel are appropriate. EPA will consider all comments on the APDES program and/or its authorization in its decision. Authority: This action is taken under the authority of Section 402 of the Clean Water Act as amended, 42 U.S.C. 1342. I hereby provide public notice of the application by the State of Alaska for approval to administer the State NPDES program, in accordance with 40 CFR 123.61. Dated: June 10, 2008. Elin D.
