68810 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 216 / Tuesday, November 9, 2010 / Notices 

Section II of the CBP Form 301 will be 

revised to specifically cover continuous 

activity code bonds for Importer 

Security Filing, Marine Terminal 

Operator, and Intellectual Property 

Rights Samples. 

In accordance with public comments 

received, CBP also proposes to make the 

following changes to Form 301: 

(1) Remove the phrase from Section II 

of the form ‘‘1a may be checked 

independently or with 1, and’’ because 

these activity codes should not be 

combined. 

(2) In Section II of Form 301, replace 

the term ‘‘Single Entry Bond’’ with the 

term ‘‘Single Transaction Bond’’, in each 

place it appears, in order to 

accommodate transactions that are not 

entries. 

(3) In Section III of Form 301, replace 

the term ‘‘Importer Name’’, in each place 

it appears, with the term ‘‘Name’’ to 

accommodate parties other than 

importers that use Form 301. 

(4) In Section III of Form 301, replace 

the term ‘‘Importer Number’’, in each 

place it appears, with the term 

‘‘Identification Number’’ in order to 

include all the types of filing numbers 

listed in 19 CFR 24.5. 

(5) Delete the term ‘‘Form 5297’’ in 

both Footnote 8 and Footnote 9 of Form 

301 so that it does not exclude 

electronic filing of the information. 

(1) Create a continuation sheet for 

Form 301. 

Bonds are usually executed by an 

agent of the surety. The surety company 

grants authority to the agent via CBP 

Form 5297, Corporate Surety Power of 

Attorney. Once this form is filed with 

CBP, the validity of the authority of the 

agent executing the bond and the name 

of the surety can be verified to the 

surety’s grant. The trade community 

now has the ability to submit the 

information on CBP Form 5297 via the 

Internet by using the Automated 

Commercial Environment (ACE) portal. 

ACE surety portal account access allows 

sureties to add, revoke, and change their 

surety agent powers of attorney 

electronically. The ACE account is 

available to any surety who applies for 

the functionality at http://www.cbp.gov. 

CBP Forms 301 and 5297 are accessible 

at http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/toolbox/ 

forms/. 

Current Actions: This submission is 

being made to extend the expiration 

date with a change to the burden hours 

based on revised estimates by CBP. CBP 

also proposes to revise CBP Form 301 as 

specified in the ‘‘Abstract Section’’ of 

this notice. 

Type of Review: Extension (with 

change).

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

Notice of Intent To Prepare One 

Programmatic Environmental Impact 

Statement for the Northern Border 

Between the United States and Canada 

AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) informs the public that 

it intends to prepare one Programmatic 

Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) 

for the Northern Border between the 

United States and Canada. Previously, 

CBP had published a notice in the 

Federal Register stating that CBP 

intended to prepare four such 

documents, each covering a different 

region of the Northern Border. However, 

after conducting a public scoping 

process, CBP has determined that it 

would be preferable to produce one 

document covering the entire Northern 

Border to ensure that CBP effectively 

analyzes and conveys impacts that 

occur across the region of the Northern 

Border. The overall anticipated area of 

study, extending approximately 100 

miles south of the Northern Border, will 

remain the same.

Jennifer Hass, CBP, Office of 

Administration, telephone (202) 344– 

1929. You may also visit the Northern 

Border PEIS Web site at: http://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 6, 2010, CBP published in the 

Federal Register (75 FR 38822) a 

document entitled Notice of Intent to 

Prepare Four Programmatic 

Environmental Impact Statements for 

the Northern Border Between the United 

States and Canada and To Conduct 

Public Scoping Meetings. The notice 

announced that CBP intended to 

prepare four Programmatic 

Environmental Impact Statements 

(PEISs) to analyze the environmental 

effects of current and potential future 

CBP border security activities along the 

Northern Border between the United 

States and Canada. Each PEIS was to 

cover one region of the Northern Border: 

the New England region, the Great Lakes 

region, the region east of the Rocky 

Mountains, and the region west of the 

Rocky Mountains. 

The notice also announced and 

initiated the public scoping process to 

gather information from the public in 

preparation for drafting the PEISs. In 

this scoping process, CBP solicited 

written comments from the public and 

held 11 public scoping meetings in 

locations near the Northern Border. CBP 

conducted this public scoping process 

in order to obtain input concerning the 

range of environmental considerations 

for inclusion within the PEISs. As 

indicated in the prior notice, the 

scoping period concluded on August 5, 

2010. 

As a result of input received during 

the scoping process, CBP has decided to 

refocus its approach and develop one 

PEIS covering the entire Northern 

Border, rather than four separate, 

regional PEISs. Through this refocused 

approach, CBP will further clarify the 

proposed action, alternatives, and 

potential impacts across the four 

previously identified regions. CBP’s 

principal reasons for preparing a single 

PEIS with sections for each region are: 

(1) CBP’s need to identify a single 

unified proposal and alternatives for 

maintaining or enhancing security along 

the Northern Border, and 

(2) Certain resources of concern for 

this PEIS extend or move across the 

PEIS regions previously identified (e.g. 

habitat of various wildlife). Thus, to 

ensure that CBP effectively analyzes and 

conveys impacts that occur across 

regions of the Northern Border, a

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 216 / Tuesday, November 9, 2010 / Notices 68811 

unified PEIS is desirable. The overall 

anticipated area of study, extending 

approximately 100 miles south of the 

Northern Border, remains the same. 

CBP is continuing to review the 

results of the scoping process and, as 

described in the July 6 notice, will 

compile a list of comments received to 

be included in a scoping report. This 

report will be made available on the 

project Web site: http:// 

www.NorthernBorderPEIS.com and 

upon written request. Written requests 

for the scoping report may be made via 

e-mail to 

comments@NorthernBorderPEIS.com, 

subject: Scoping Report, or via mail to 

CBP Northern Border PEIS (Scoping 

Report), P.O. Box 3625, McLean, 

Virginia, 22102. The body of the request 

should read, ‘‘Request a copy of the 

scoping report for U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection Northern Border 

PEIS.’’ CBP anticipates the scoping 

report will be available in November 

2010. 

The information gained from the 

scoping process will aid CBP as it 

prepares the draft PEIS. This draft PEIS 

will be followed, after a period of public 

comment, with a final PEIS. CBP plans 

to use the information derived from the 

analysis in the PEIS in management, 

planning, and decision-making for its 

mission and its environmental 

stewardship responsibilities, as well as 

to establish a foundation for future 

impact analyses. For complete 

information, please see the July 6 

Federal Register notice (75 FR 38822). 

Next Steps 

This environmental analysis process 

is being conducted pursuant to the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., (NEPA), 

the Council on Environmental Quality 

Regulations for Implementing the NEPA 

(40 CFR parts 1500–1508), and 

Department of Homeland Security 

Directive 023–01 (renumbered from 

5100.1), Environmental Planning 

Program of April 19, 2006. In 

accordance with NEPA, the draft PEIS 

will be made available to the public for 

review and comment through a Notice 

of Availability (NOA) in the Federal 

Register. The NOA will provide 

directions for obtaining copies of the 

draft PEIS as well as dates and locations 

for any associated public participation 

meetings. After a public comment 

period on the draft PEIS, CBP will 

complete a final PEIS. CBP will 

continue to announce information on 

exact locations and times of public 

meetings as well as project information 

through local newspapers and the 

project Web site: http:// 

www.NorthernBorderPEIS.com.
