Public Meeting With Interested Stakeholders for National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Electronic Reporting
Rule
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of public meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) gives
notice of a meeting to discuss the NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule.
With this rulemaking, EPA is utilizing 21st Century modern technologies
to improve management and performance of the NPDES program by requiring
electronic reporting of NPDES information from regulated facilities.
This will reduce the burden for facilities to report to regulatory
agencies and for states to report to EPA. Expected benefits include
lower processing costs for facilities and states, improved data quality
and accuracy, greater data accessibility and transparency for the
public, and an increased ability to target and address noncompliance
that will improve and protect water quality. This meeting will be a
session in which EPA will discuss electronic reporting alternatives for
submission of NPDES information directly to states and/or EPA from
permittees. Topics include the feasibility of requiring electronic
reporting in areas such as electronic discharge monitoring reports
(eDMRs), electronic notice of intent (eNOI), and electronic program
reports. The purpose of this meeting is to give interested parties the
opportunity to discuss the proposed rule and to provide EPA feedback on
the presented options.
DATES: The meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 13, 2010 from 1 p.m.
till 3 p.m.
ADDRESSES: The meeting location is Room 1117A EPA East, 1201
Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Anuj Vaidya 202-564-3459,
vaidya.anuj@epa.gov or Sharon Gonder 202-564-5256,
gonder.sharon@epa.gov. If you are interested in attending this meeting,
please contact Mr. Anuj Vaidya or Ms. Sharon Gonder to register for
this meeting no later than Wednesday, July 7, 2010.

Potential for Energy Conservation Standards for High-Intensity
Discharge (HID) Lamps
AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Final determination.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Based on the best available information, the U.S. Department

certain high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps are technologically
feasible and economically justified, and would likely result in
significant energy savings. By notice and comment rulemaking, this
final determination initiates the process of establishing test
procedures and potential energy conservation standards for this
equipment. Pursuant to court order, this final determination must be
made by June 30, 2010.
DATES: This rule is effective August 2, 2010.
ADDRESSES: For access to the docket (EE-DET-03-001) to reach background
documents, the technical support document (TSD), or comments received,

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Governors' Designees Receiving Advance Notification of
Transportation of Nuclear Waste
On January 6, 1982 (47 FR 596 and 47 FR 600), the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) published in the Federal Register final
amendments to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts
71 and 73 (effective July 6, 1982), that require advance notification
to Governors or their designees by NRC licensees prior to
transportation of certain shipments of nuclear waste and spent fuel.
The advance notification covered in Part 73 is for spent nuclear
reactor fuel shipments and the notification for Part 71 is for large
quantity shipments of radioactive waste (and of spent nuclear reactor
fuel not covered under the final amendment to 10 CFR Part 73).
The following list updates the names, addresses, and telephone
numbers of those individuals in each State who are responsible for
receiving information on nuclear waste shipments. The list will be
published annually in the Federal Register on or about June 30, 2010,
to reflect any changes in information. Current State contact
information can also be accessed throughout the year at http://nrc-
stp.ornl.gov/special/designee.pdf.
Questions regarding this matter should be directed to Dr. Stephen
N. Salomon, Office of Federal and State Materials and Environmental
Management Programs, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC
