SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The OMB regulations at 5 CFR part
1320, which implement the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq., require that interested members
of the public and affected agencies have
an opportunity to comment on
information collection and
recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR
1320.8 (d)).
On March 31, 2015, the Departments
of Agriculture, the Interior, and
Commerce published revised interim
final rule they originally published in
November 2005 at 7 CFR part 1, 43 CFR
part 45, and 50 CFR part 221, to
implement section 241 of the Energy
Policy Act of 2005 (EP Act), Public Law
109–58, which the President signed into
law on August 8, 2005. Section 241 of
the EP Act added a new section 33 to
the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C.
823d, that allowed the license applicant
or any other party to the license
proceeding to propose an alternative to
a condition or prescription that one or
more of the Departments develop for
inclusion in a hydropower license
issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) under the FPA.
This provision required that the
Department of Agriculture, the
Department of the Interior, and the
Department of Commerce collect the
information covered by 1094–0001.
Under FPA section 33, the Secretary
of the Department involved must accept
the proposed alternative if the Secretary
determines, based on substantial
evidence provided by a party to the
license proceeding or otherwise
available to the Secretary, (a) that the
alternative condition provides for the

adequate protection and utilization of
the reservation, or that the alternative
prescription will be no less protective
than the fishway initially proposed by
the Secretary, and (b) that the
alternative will either cost significantly
less to implement or result in improved
operation of the project works for
electricity production.
In order to make this determination,
the regulations require that all of the
following information be collected: (1)
A description of the alternative, in an
equivalent level of detail to the
Department’s preliminary condition or
prescription; (2) an explanation of how
the alternative: (i) If a condition, will
provide for the adequate protection and
utilization of the reservation; or (ii) if a
prescription, will be no less protective
than the fishway prescribed by the
bureau; (3) an explanation of how the
alternative, as compared to the
preliminary condition or prescription,
will: (i) Cost significantly less to
implement; or (ii) result in improved
operation of the project works for
electricity production; (4) an
explanation of how the alternative or
revised alternative will affect: (i) Energy
supply, distribution, cost, and use; (ii)
flood control; (iii) navigation; (iv) water
supply; (v) air quality; and (vi) other
aspects of environmental quality; and
(5) specific citations to any scientific
studies, literature, and other
documented information relied on to
support the proposal.
This notice of proposed renewal of an
existing information collection is being
published by the Office of
Environmental Policy and Compliance,
Department of the Interior, on behalf of
all three Departments, and the data
provided below covers anticipated
responses (alternative conditions/
prescriptions and associated
information) for all three Departments.
