SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–523, Application for
Authorization for the Issuance of
Securities or the Assumption of
Liabilities.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0043.
Type of Request: Three-year approval
of the FERC–523 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: The information collected
by FERC–523 is required to implement
the statutory provisions of section 204
of the Federal Power Act (FPA) (16
U.S.C. 824c). Under section 204 of the
FPA, no public utility or licensee shall
issue any security, or assume any
obligation or liability as guarantor,
endorser, surety, or otherwise in respect
of any security of another person, until
the public utility applies for and
receives Commission approval by order
authorizing the issuance or assumption
of the liability. The Commission issues
an order if it finds that such issuance or
assumption (a) is for lawful object,
within the corporate purposes of the
applicant and compatible with the
public interest, which is necessary or
appropriate for or consistent with the
proper performance by the applicant as
a public utility, and which will not
impair its ability to perform that service,
and (b) is reasonably necessary or
appropriate for such purposes.
The Commission uses the information
contained in filings to determine its
acceptance and/or rejection of
applications for authorization to either
issue securities or to assume an
obligation or liability by the public
utilities and licensees who submit these
applications.
The specific application requirements
and filing format are found at 18 CFR
part 34, and 18 CFR 131.43 and 131.50.
This information is filed electronically.
The 60-day Federal Register notice
published on August 18, 2020 (85 FR
50823) with no comments were
received.
Type of Respondents: Public utilities
subject to the Federal Power Act.

ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:

The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is announcing the
availability of and seeking public
comment on a draft Pesticide
Registration Notice (PR Notice) entitled,
‘‘Draft List of Pests of Significant Public
Health Importance—Revised 2020.’’ PR
Notices are issued by the Office of
Pesticide Programs (OPP) to inform
pesticide registrants and other
interested persons about important

policies, procedures, and registration
related decisions, and serve to provide
guidance to pesticide registrants and
OPP personnel. This particular draft PR
Notice provides guidance to the
registrant concerning the proposal to
update and replace the Pesticide
Registration Notice (PRN) 2002–1,
which identifies pests of significant
public health importance. The United
States Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA), and
the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) determined that updating the list
to reflect the current public health
situation was warranted because vectorborne diseases and related research has
changed significantly since the original
PR Notice was published almost 20
years ago. This update includes the
addition or removal of pests, new
impacts, renaming pests, or grouping
pests of similar species.

1 Burden is defined as 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. For further
