The exporter of product that is 

exported and then returned to this 

country is to complete FSIS Form 9010– 

1, Application for the Return of 

Exported Products to the United States, 

to arrange for the product’s entry and to 

notify FSIS (9 CFR 327.17, 381.209, and 

590.965). This form is currently 

approved under OMB Control Number 

0853–0138. FSIS is now requesting its 

conversion to a series of on-line screens 

for inclusion in PHIS. 

Importers that import meat and 

poultry products into the United States 

currently complete FSIS Form 9540–1 

for re-inspection of the product by FSIS 

(9 CFR 327.5 and 381.198(a)). This form 

is currently approved for the import of 

meat and poultry products (OMB 

Control Number 0853–138). FSIS is 

requesting its use also for egg products 

(9 CFR 590.900) and its conversion to a 

series of on-line screens for inclusion in 

PHIS. 

The following three forms will be 

available in PHIS but not as a series of 

on-line screens: FSIS Form 5200–2, 

Application for Federal Inspection; FSIS 

Form 5200–6, Application for Approval 

of Voluntary Inspection; and FSIS Form 

5200–15, Hours of Operation. 

All official establishments currently 

complete and submit FSIS Form 5200– 

2, Application for Federal Inspection, to 

receive a grant of inspection (9 CFR 

304.1 and 381.17) (OMB Control 

Number 0583–0082). FSIS is requesting 

that the form be changed to include egg 

products (590.140 and 590.146). 

Establishments that want voluntary 

inspection currently complete and 

submit FSIS Form 5200–6, Application 

for Approval of Voluntary Inspection (9 

CFR 350.5, 351.4, 352.3, and 362.3) 

(OMB Control Number 0583–0082). 

FSIS is now requesting that the form be 

changed to include egg products 

(592.130 and 592.140). 

FSIS is requesting use of the new FSIS 

Form 5200–15, Hours of Operation, as 

the means by which an establishment or 

plant will notify the Agency of a change 

in its hours of operation (9 CFR 307.4, 

381.37, 590.124, and 592.96). 

FSIS has made the following 

estimates based upon an information 

collection assessment: 

Estimate of Burden: FSIS estimates 

that it will take respondents an average 

of 79.6 hours per year. 

Respondents: Official establishments, 

official plants, importers, and exporters. 

Estimated No. of Respondents: 770.

potential impacts related to a proposal 

by Central Electric Power Cooperative, 

Inc., (Central Electric) of Columbia, 

South Carolina. The proposal consists of 

constructing a 115 kilovolt (kV) 

transmission line through portions of 

Berkeley, Charleston, and/or 

Georgetown Counties, South Carolina, 

to the proposed McClellanville 

substation. Central Electric is requesting 

that RUS provide financial assistance 

for the proposal and may request that 

the USFS issue a special use permit for 

the proposal. 

DATES: RUS has extended the public 

comment period to January 14, 2011. 

RUS will accept verbal and written 

comments regarding the proposal. 

Contact information for submitting 

comments is provided in the ADDRESSES

section of this notice. 

ADDRESSES: Send all written comments 

to the attention of Ms. Lauren McGee, 

Environmental Scientist, USDA Rural 

Utilities Service, Engineering and 

Environmental Staff, 1400 

Independence Avenue, SW., Stop 1571, 

Room 2244–S, Washington, DC 20250– 

1571. Comments may also be sent via

8863. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Central 

Electric proposes to construct a 115-kV 

transmission line to Berkeley Electric 

Cooperative’s proposed McClellanville 

substation. The proposal would provide 

long-term, reliable electric service to the 

McClellanville community and 

surrounding areas. The transmission 

line may originate from one of the 

following points: Belle Isle (Georgetown 

County), Britton Neck (Georgetown 

County), Jamestown (Berkeley County), 

Honey Hill (Berkeley County), Charity 

(Charleston County), or Commonwealth 

(Charleston County). This notice invites 

government agencies, organizations, and 

the public to provide input in the 

development of the EIS for the proposal. 

An updated Alternatives Evaluation 

Study (AES) and Macro-Corridor Study 

(MCS) were prepared for the proposal. 

The AES and MCS discuss the purpose 

and need for the proposal as well as the 

alternatives considered in the proposal’s 

development. A public scoping meeting 

was held on September 29, 2010, 5 p.m. 

to 9 p.m. at St. James-Santee Elementary 

School, 8900 Highway 17 North, 

McClellanville, SC 29458. RUS, Central 

Electric, and Mangi Environmental 

Group gave a presentation at 6 p.m. and 

8 p.m., which provided an overview of: 

(1) The Federal action being considered 

by RUS; (2) an overview of NEPA and 

the EIS process; and, (3) the purpose, 

need and alternatives considered in the 

development of the proposal. The AES 

and MCS (both dated September 2010), 

in addition to materials from the public 

meeting, are available for public review 

at the following RUS Web site: http:// 

www.usda.gov/rus/water/ees/eis.htm. 

Due to an error in the mailing list for 

this proposal, RUS has extended the 

comment period to January 14, 2011. 

Among the alternatives that RUS will 

address in the EIS is the ‘‘No Action’’ 

alternative, under which the proposal 

would not be undertaken. In the EIS, the 

effects of the proposal will be compared 

to the existing conditions in the 

proposal area. Alternative transmission 

line corridors will be refined as part of 

the EIS scoping process and will be 

addressed in the EIS. Public health and 

safety, environmental impacts, and 

engineering aspects of the proposal will 

be considered in the EIS. 

RUS is the lead Federal agency, as 

defined at 40 CFR 1501.5, for 

preparation of the EIS. The USFS is a 

cooperating agency. With this notice, 

Federally recognized Native American 

Tribes and Federal agencies with 

jurisdiction or special expertise are 

invited to be cooperating agencies. 

Tribes or agencies may request to be a 

cooperating agency by contacting the 

RUS contact provided in this notice. 

RUS will use input provided during 

scoping in the preparation of the Draft 

EIS. The Draft EIS will be available for 

review and comment for 45 days. A 

Final EIS that considers all comments 

received will subsequently be prepared. 

The Final EIS will be available for 

review for 30 days. Following the 30- 

day review period, RUS will prepare a 

Record of Decision (ROD). Notices 

announcing the availability of the Draft 

EIS, the Final EIS, and the ROD will be 

published in the Federal Register and in 

local newspapers. The USFS may issue 

a separate ROD for the proposal, which 

may be subject to an appeals period as 

prescribed in USFS departmental 

regulations. 

Any final action by RUS related to the 

proposal will be subject to, and 

contingent upon, compliance with all 

relevant executive orders and Federal, 

State, and local environmental laws and 

regulations in addition to the 

completion of the environmental review 

requirements as prescribed in RUS’s 

Environmental Policies and Procedures, 

7 CFR part 1794, as amended.
