SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Emergency Watershed 

Protection Program. 

OMB Number: 0578–0030. 

Expiration Date of Approval: March 

31, 2005. 

Type of Request: To request 

comments on a currently approved 

collection for which approval will 

expire. 

Abstract: The primary objective of the 

Natural Resources Conservation Service 

(NRCS) is to work in partnership with 

the American people and the farming 

and ranching community to conserve 

and sustain our natural resources. The 

purpose of Emergency Watershed 

Protection Program (EWP) information 

collection is to provide EWP assistance 

to sponsors to undertake emergency 

measures to retard runoff and prevent 

soil erosion to safeguard lives and 

property from floods, drought, and the 

products of erosion on any watershed 

whenever fire, flood, or other natural 

disaster is causing or has caused a 

sudden impairment of that watershed. 

The sponsor’s request is submitted 

formally as a letter (now the Appendix 

to the NRCS–PDM–20A) to the NRCS 

State Conservationist for consideration. 

The NRCS–PDM–20, Damage Survey 

Report (DSR), is the Agency decisionmaking document that includes the 

economic, social, and environmental 

evaluation and the engineer’s cost 

estimate. 

This information collection allows the 

responsible Federal official to make 

EWP eligibility determinations and 

provide Federal cost-share payments to 

the sponsor. This request is necessary to 

implement the EWP Program for which 

NRCS has statutory authority. 

The table below lists the forms in this 

collection, the uses for each document, 

and the applicable programs. These 

forms constitute this information 

collection and reflect the documents 

used by EWP sponsors to request 

participation in the recovery program.

NRCS–PDM–20A ............................. Appendix to the DSR, Request for Participation in the Program ............... 0578–0030 EWP Recovery. 

NRCS will ask OMB for 3-year 

approval within 60 days of submitting 

the request.

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 3.5 hours, or 117 

minutes, per response.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Additions 

On September 17, 2004, the 

Committee for Purchase From People 

Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled 

published notice (69 FR 56037) of 

proposed additions to the Procurement 

List. After consideration of the material 

presented to it concerning capability of 

qualified nonprofit agencies to provide 

the services and impact of the additions 

on the current or most recent 

contractors, the Committee has 

determined that the services listed 

below are suitable for procurement by 

the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 

46–48c and 41 CFR 51–2.4. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification 

I certify that the following action will 

not have a significant impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

The major factors considered for this 

certification were: 

1. The action will not result in any 

additional reporting, recordkeeping or 

other compliance requirements for small 

entities other than the small 

organizations that will furnish the 

services to the Government. 

2. The action will result in 

authorizing small entities to furnish the 

services to the Government. 

3. There are no known regulatory 

alternatives which would accomplish 

the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46–48c) in 

connection with the services proposed 

for addition to the Procurement List. 

End of Certification 

Accordingly, the following services 

are added to the Procurement List:

matter presented, the Committee has 

determined that the products listed

procurement by the Federal Government 

under 41 U.S.C. 46–48c and 41 CFR 51–

2.4. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification

2. The action may result in 

authorizing small entities to furnish the
