SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Corporation is particularly 

interested in comments which: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Corporation, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and, 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology 

(e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses). 

Background 

The AmeriCorps*VISTA Concept 

Paper and Application Instructions are 

used by the Corporation in the selection 

of VISTA sponsors and in the approval 

of both new and renewing VISTA 

projects. The information collection 

consists of a brief Concept Paper, and, 

if the Concept Paper is approved, a full 

application including budget. 

The Progress Report (PPR) and 

VISTA Progress Report Supplement 

(VPRS) is designed to assure that 

AmeriCorps*VISTA sponsors address 

and fulfill legislated program purposes, 

meet agency program management and 

grant requirements, and assess progress 

toward project plan goals agreed upon 

in the signing of the Memorandum of 

Agreement. 

Current Action 

The Corporation seeks to renew the 

Concept Paper and Application 

Instructions to: (a) Reduce respondent 

burden; (b) enhance data elements 

collected via this information collection 

tool; (c) comply with provisions in the 

Serve America Act regarding Focus 

Areas. 

The Corporation seeks to renew the 

current PPR and VPRS used by 

AmeriCorps*VISTA sponsors and 

grantees to report progress toward 

accomplishing work plan goals and 

objectives, reporting actual outcomes 

related to self-nominated performance 

measures meeting challenges 

encountered, describing significant 

activities, and requesting technical 

assistance. 

The Corporation is proposing to 

merge two current information 

collection requests into one information 

collection request consisting of four 

instruments. 

The information collection will 

otherwise be used in the same manner 

as the currently approved information 

collection requests. The Corporation 

also seeks to continue using the current 

information collections until the 

renewal is approved by OMB. The 

current information collection requests 

are due to expire on May 11, 2011 and 

September 30, 2011.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army; Corps of 

Engineers 

Notice of Intent To Prepare a Draft 

Areawide Environmental Impact 

Statement for Phosphate Mining 

Affecting Waters of the United States 

in the Central Florida Phosphate 

District (CFPD) 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent (NOI). 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (Corps), Jacksonville District, 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 34 / Friday, February 18, 2011 / Notices 9561 

has received permit applications for 

Department of the Army permits under 

Section 404 of the Clean Water Act 

(CWA) from phosphate mining 

companies in Central and Southwest 

Florida to discharge fill in Waters of the 

United States for the purpose of 

phosphate ore extraction (i.e., creation 

of new phosphate mines, expansions of 

existing mines, and construction of 

attendant facilities) within the CFPD. 

The three specific projects being 

considered, and their Department of the 

Army file numbers, are CF Industries’ 

South Pasture Extension (SAJ–1993– 

01395), Mosaic Fertilizer LLC’s Four 

Corners Surface Tract (1995–00794), 

and Mosaic Fertilizer LLC’s Ona Mine 

(SAJ–1998–02067). The Corps has 

determined that, when viewed 

collectively, the separate proposed 

phosphate mining-related projects have 

similarities that provide a basis for 

evaluating their environmental 

consequences together in one 

comprehensive environmental impact 

statement. As part of the permit review 

process, the Corps is evaluating the 

environmental effects of these similar 

actions. 

The primary Federal involvement 

associated with the Proposed Action is 

the discharge of dredged or fill material 

into Waters of the United States, 

including jurisdictional wetlands. 

Issuance of Federal authorizations for 

the Proposed Activities would 

constitute a ‘‘Major Federal Action.’’ 

Based on the continued applications for 

expanded mining in the CFPD, the size 

of the project area, the CFPD 

characteristics, and the potential 

environmental impacts, both 

individually and cumulatively, of the 

Proposed Action, the Corps will prepare 

an Areawide Environmental Impact 

Statement (AEIS) in compliance with 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) to render a final decision on the 

permit applications. 

The Corps’ decision will be to either 

issue, issue with modifications, or deny 

Department of the Army permits for the 

Proposed Action. The Draft AEIS 

(DAEIS) is intended to be sufficient in 

scope to address Federal, State, and 

local requirements and environmental 

issues concerning the Proposed Action 

and permit reviews. The U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. 

EPA) has agreed to be a cooperating 

agency on the study. 

DATES: The Corps plans to hold public 

scoping meetings on March 23 and 25, 

2011 at 6:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time 

(EST). 

ADDRESSES: The first meeting will be 

held March 23, 2011 at 6:30 p.m. EST 

at the The Lakeland Center, 701 West 

Lime Street, Lakeland, FL 33815, 863– 

834–8100. The second meeting will be 

held March 25, 2011 at 6:30 p.m. EST 

at the Charlotte Harbor Event Center, 75, 

Taylor Street, Punta Gorda, FL, 33950, 

941–833–5444. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Questions about the Proposed Action 

and Draft AEIS should be directed to 

Mr. John Fellows, Corps Regulatory 

Project Manager, by telephone at (813) 

769–7067 or by e-mail at 

John.P.Fellows@usace.army.mil. Written 

comments should be addressed to the 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Attn: Mr. 

John Fellows, 10117 Princess Palm 

Avenue, Suite 120, Tampa, FL 33610– 

8302 or by facsimile at (813) 769–7061. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

a. Project Background and 

Authorization. The Corps will study the 

environmental impacts of the Proposed 

Action within the CFPD. The CFPD 

consists of an area of approximately 

1.32 million acres (or +/¥2,100 sq mi) 

in Hardee, Hillsborough, Manatee, Polk, 

and DeSoto counties (an area of 

approximately 1,000 acres within 

Sarasota County is also included in the 

CFPD). Mining in the CFPD has 

occurred for over 100 years. 

The Corps has issued CWA Section 

404 permits for phosphate mining in the 

region since 1977, with some existing 

permits authorizing mining through 

2028. The Corps has determined as 

recently as June 2010 that the 

cumulative effects, past, present and 

reasonably foreseeable, of phosphate 

mining from 1977 to 2028 in the Peace 

River watershed, part of which lies 

within the CFPD Region, had not 

reached the significance threshold. 

Based on the continued applications for 

expanded mining in the CFPD and the 

need for additional information on the 

cumulative effects of past, present, and 

reasonably foreseeable actions 

throughout the CFPD, the AEIS will 

consider the potential for significant 

cumulative effects of the proposed 

phosphate mines and mine expansions 

in the CFPD. 

b. Purpose and Need. The basic 

purpose of the proposed action is to 

mine phosphate ore. The overall 

purpose is to mine phosphate ore from 

reserves located within the CFPD. The 

Corps recognizes that there is a public 

and private need for phosphate. 

c. Prior EAs, EISs. The U.S. EPA 

issued a final Areawide EIS on the 

Central Florida Phosphate Industry in 

November 1978. 

d. Alternatives. An evaluation of 

alternatives to the Applicants’ preferred 

alternative initially being considered 

includes a No Action alternative, 

alternatives that would avoid, minimize, 

and mitigate impacts to the aquatic 

resources within the CFPD, alternative 

practices or analysis methods for 

minimizing or evaluating cumulative 

effects of mining, and other reasonable 

alternatives that will be developed 

through the project scoping process 

which may also meet the identified 

purpose and need. 

e. Issues. The following issues have 

been identified for analysis in the 

DAEIS. This list is preliminary and is 

intended to facilitate public comment 

on the scope of the DAEIS. The DAEIS 

will consider the effects on Federally 

listed threatened and endangered 

species, health and safety, 

socioeconomics, aesthetics, general 

environmental concerns, wetlands and 

other aquatic resources, historic 

properties, cultural resources, fish and 

wildlife values, land use, transportation, 

recreation, water supply and 

conservation, water quality, energy 

needs, mineral needs, considerations of 

property ownership, in general, the 

needs and welfare of the people, and 

other issues identified through scoping, 

public involvement, and interagency 

coordination. At the present time, the 

primary areas of environmental concern 

are the loss of wetland functions and 

value, mitigation of such losses, the 

effect of proposed mining on 

groundwater and surface water quality, 

and potential cumulative effects. The 

issues of concern and the methods used 

to evaluate those issues will be defined 

through the scoping process. 

f. Scoping Process. CEQ regulations 

(40 CFR 1501.7) require an early and 

open process for determining the scope 

of an EIS and for identifying significant 

issues related to the proposed action. 

The Corps is furnishing this notice to 

advise other Federal and State agencies, 

affected Federally recognized Tribes, 

and the public of our intentions. This 

notice announces the initiation of a 45- 

day scoping period which requests the 

public’s involvement in the scoping and 

evaluation process of the DEIS. 

Stakeholders will be notified through 

advertisements, public notices and other 

means. All parties who express interest 

will be given an opportunity to 

participate in this process. The process 

allows the Corps to obtain suggestions 

and information on the scope of issues 

and an opportunity to provide 

reasonable alternatives to be included in 

the Draft AEIS. (See DATES and 

ADDRESSES for meeting schedules) 

g. Public Involvement. The Corps 

invites Federal agencies, American 

Indian Tribal Nations, State and local 

governments, and other interested 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES

9562 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 34 / Friday, February 18, 2011 / Notices 

private organizations and parties to 

attend the public scoping meetings and 

provide comments in order to ensure 

that all significant issues are identified 

and the full range of issues related to the 

permit request are addressed. 

h. Coordination. The proposed action 

is being coordinated with a number of 

Federal, State, regional, and local 

agencies including but not limited to the 

following: U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, U.S. National Marine Fisheries 

Service, U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency, U.S. Department of Agriculture, 

Florida Department of Environmental 

Protection, Southwest Florida Water 

Management District, Florida State 

Historic Preservation Officer, local 

counties, and other agencies as 

identified in scoping, public 

involvement, and agency coordination. 

i. Agency Role. The Corps will be the 

lead agency for the AEIS. The U.S. EPA 

has agreed to be a cooperating agency. 

The Corps expects to receive input and 

critical information from the U.S. Fish 

and Wildlife Service, United States 

Geological Service, and other Federal, 

State, and local agencies. 

j. Availability of the Draft AEIS. The 

Corps currently expects the DAEIS to be 

made available to the public by October 

2011. A public meeting will be held 

during the public comment period for 

the DAEIS. Written comments will be 

accepted at the meeting.
