Comments
are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of DOE, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of DOE’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information

This information collection request
contains: (1) OMB No.: 1910–5175; (2)
Information Collection Request Title:
Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy (EERE)
Environmental Questionnaire; (3) Type
of Request: Extension, with changes; (4)
Purpose: The DOE’s EERE provides
federal funding through federal
assistance programs to businesses,
industries, universities, and other
groups for renewable energy and energy
efficiency research and development
and demonstration projects. The
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.)
requires that an environmental analysis
be completed for all major federal
actions significantly affecting the
environment including projects entirely
or partly financed by federal agencies.
To effectively perform environmental
analyses for these projects, the DOE’s
EERE needs to collect project-specific
information from federal financial
assistance awardees. DOE’s EERE has
developed its Environmental
Questionnaire to obtain the required
information and ensure that its
decision-making processes are
consistent with NEPA as it relates to
renewable energy and energy efficiency
research and development and
demonstration projects. Minor changes
have been made to the Environmental
Questionnaire that help to clarify
certain questions, but do not change the
meaning of the questions being asked.
The average hours per response and
annual estimated number of burden
hours have increased due to the increase
in complexity of the projects being
selected by EERE in order to meet
mission needs. The average hours per
response have increased from one hour
to one and one half hours. The annual
estimated number of burden hours
increased from 300 to 450. (5) Annual
Estimated Number of Total Responses:
300; (6) Average Hours per Response:

1.5; and (7) Annual Estimated Number

cost associated with reporting and
recordkeeping.

BILLING CODE 6717–01–P

[Project No. 2221–039]

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Empire District Electric Company;
Notice of Availability of Environmental
Assessment
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and
the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (Commission) regulations,
18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR
47897), the Office of Energy Projects has
reviewed an application submitted by
Empire District Electric Company
(licensee) to allow the City of Branson,
Missouri, the use of Ozark Beach
Hydroelectric Project No. 2221, to use
project lands and waters for municipal
water supply. The Ozark Beach
Hydroelectric Project is located on the
White River in Taney County, Missouri
and partially utilizes federal lands
administered by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps).
An Environmental Assessment (EA)
has been prepared as part of
Commission staff’s review of the
proposal. In the application, the
licensee proposes to grant the City of
Branson, Missouri permission to
continue operating two existing raw
water intake facilities (facilities) on Lake
Taneycomo, the project’s storage
reservoir; and, increase the withdrawal
from one of the two facilities by 5.0
million gallons per day (mgd). Approval
of the licensee’s request would
authorize the total combined
withdrawal of 11.2 mgd from the
reservoir. This EA contains Commission
staff’s analysis of the potential
environmental impacts of the continued
operation of the existing facilities and
the proposed increase in water
withdrawal volume, and concludes that
approval of the proposal would not
constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment.
