In

public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
We are soliciting comments on the
proposed ICR that is described below.
We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following
issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to
the proper functions of the Office of the
Secretary, Office of Environmental
Policy and Compliance Departments; (2)
will this information be processed and
used in a timely manner; (3) is the
estimate of burden accurate; (4) how
might the Office of the Secretary, Office
of Environmental Policy and
Compliance Departments enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Office of the Secretary, Office
of Environmental Policy and
Compliance Departments minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use
of information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before

rule to the interim rule 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, enacted 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
