    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has updated the schedule for processing the relicense application for the Phoenix Hydroelectric Project filed by Oswego Hydro Partners, LP. Originally planned for environmental analysis readiness in September 2024, the timeline was adjusted to allow more time for settlement negotiations involving the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Oswego Hydro has reported progress in discussions, especially concerning fish passage, and expects to submit a Settlement Agreement in early 2025. An additional notice will be issued if further schedule changes are necessary.

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted a request to renew the information collection for asbestos worker protection, which is currently valid until January 31, 2025. This collection involves reporting and recordkeeping requirements for the protection of state and local government employees working with asbestos. Public comments on the renewal can be submitted until January 10, 2025. The estimated annual burden for respondents is 358,049 hours with a total cost of $21,175,968. There has been a notable reduction in burden hours due to fewer states being subject to the rule.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA wants to keep gathering information to make sure workers dealing with a dangerous substance called asbestos are safe at work. People can tell the EPA what they think about this plan until January 10, 2025.
