Type of Request: Three-year extension

Abstract: The purpose of FERC–511 is

State, or municipality (transferee)
desiring to acquire the same must
jointly file an application for
Commission’s approval of such transfer.
The application must show that the
transfer is in the public interest and
provide the qualifications of the
transferee to hold such license and to
operate the property under the license.
Approval of the transfer is contingent
upon the transfer of title to the
properties under the license, transfer of
all project files including all dam safety
related documents, and delivery of all
license instruments. The application for
approval of transfer of license must
conform to the requirements of Sections
131.20 of the 18 CFR, which must
include the following: application
statement by all parties; verification
statement; proof of citizenship; evidence
of compliance by the transferor with all
applicable state laws or how the
transferee proposes to comply; and
qualifications of the transferee to hold
the license and operate the project.
The Commission uses the information
collected under the requirements of
FERC–511 to implement the statutory
provisions of Sections 8 of the Federal
Power Act (FPA) and 18 CFR part 9 and
18 CFR 131.20 of the Commission’s
regulations. The information filed with
the Commission is in the format of a
written application for transfer of
license, executed jointly by the parties
of the proposed transfer. The
Commission uses the information
collected to determine the qualifications
of the proposed transferee to hold the
license and to prepare the transfer of the
license order to make its determination.
Type of Respondent: Existing
Hydropower Project Licensees and those
entities wishing to have a Hydropower
Project License transferred to them.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 2 The
Commission estimates the annual
burden and cost 3 for the information
collection as follows.
2 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. See 5 CFR
1320 for additional information on the definition of
information collection burden.
3 The FERC 2022 average salary plus benefits for
one FERC full-time equivalent (FTE) is $188,922/
year (or $91.00/hour). Commission staff estimates
that the industry’s skill set (wages and benefits) for
completing and filing FERC–511 is comparable to
the Commission’s skill set.

Delegations of the Prevention of
Significant Deterioration Air Permitting
Program to the Maricopa County Air
Quality Department and the Pima
County Department of Environmental
Quality
United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of delegations of
authority.
AGENCY:

This notice announces that
the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), Region 9, has revised its
delegation agreements with the
Maricopa County Air Quality
Department (MCAQD) and Pima County
Department of Environmental Quality
(PCDEQ) for implementation of the

lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1

SUMMARY:

4 The number of respondents has been reduced
from 46 to 13 for this renewal; this is based on the
average number of filings made in the past three
years.
5 The cost per respondent has not actually
increased between this renewal and the previous
renewal, but a mathematical error has been
corrected. We estimate the cost per response to be
the same: $3,640.

federal Clean Air Act Prevention of
Significant Deterioration (PSD)
permitting program. The revised and
updated delegation agreements
authorize these air pollution agencies in
Arizona to continue to conduct PSD
review for proposed new and modified
major stationary sources, issue initial
federal PSD permits, and revise existing
federal PSD permits, subject to the terms
and conditions of the applicable
delegation agreement.
DATES: The revised PSD delegation
agreements with the MCAQD and the
PCDEQ became effective on October 2,
2022, and June 5, 2018, respectively.
Pursuant to section 307(b)(1) of the
Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7607(b)(1),
judicial review of these final agency
actions, to the extent it is available, may
be sought by filing a petition for review
in the United States Court of Appeals
for the Ninth Circuit within 60 days of
November 30, 2022.
ADDRESSES: The revised delegation
agreements are available on Region 9’s
website at https://www.epa.gov/caapermitting/air-permit-delegation-andpsd-sip-approval-status-epas-pacificsouthwest-region-9. For additional
information, please contact the person

Hawthorne Street (AIR–3–1), San
Francisco, California 94105. By phone at
(415) 972–3974, or by email at
[email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to 40 CFR 52.21(u), the EPA signed
revised PSD delegation agreements with
the MCAQD and PCDEQ. The EPA
signed a greenhouse gas (GHG) PSD
delegation agreement with the MCAQD
on October 2, 2022. The EPA also signed
a PSD delegation agreement that applies
to all PSD pollutants, including both
attainment/unclassifiable pollutants and
GHGs, with the PCDEQ on June 5, 2018.
The delegation agreements authorize
these Arizona air pollution agencies to
implement the PSD program under
sections 160–169 of the Clean Air Act
(CAA) and 40 CFR 52.21 for the
applicable pollutants, including

conducting PSD review and the
issuance and revision of PSD permits.
The delegation agreements set forth
the terms and conditions according to
which the agencies will implement the
PSD regulations at 40 CFR 52.21. Under
the PSD program, major stationary
sources of air pollutants must apply for
and receive a permit prior to
construction of new facilities or certain
modifications to existing facilities.
While the abovementioned Arizona
air pollution agencies have been
delegated the authority to implement
and enforce the PSD program, nothing
in the delegation agreements prohibits
the EPA from enforcing the PSD
provisions of the CAA, the PSD
regulations, or the conditions of any
PSD permit issued by the air pollution
agencies.
