Scoping Process 

This notice of intent initiates the 

scoping process, which guides the 

development of the environmental 

impact statement. The Northern Hills 

Ranger District will also provide a letter 

including a description of the proposed 

action and soliciting comments on the 

proposal to local land owners, 

interested tribal entitites, permittees 

that use the project area, and others who 

have expressed interest in projects 

similar to this one. A public meeting 

will be held at the Piedmont Fire 

Department in Piedmont, South Dakota 

during the comment period. Forest 

Service personnel will be on hand to 

answer questions about the project, and 

large-scale maps of the proposed action 

will be available for review. 

It is important that reviewers provide 

their comments at such times and in 

such manner that they are useful to the 

agency’s preparation of the 

environmental impact statement. 

Therefore, comments should be 

provided prior to the close of the 

comment period and should clearly 

articulate the reviewer’s concerns and 

contentions. 

Comments received in response to 

this solicitation, including names and 

addresses of those who comment, will 

be part of the public record for this 

proposed action. Comments submitted 

anonymously will be accepted and 

considered, however.

Abstract: The Rural Business 

Investment Program (‘‘RBIP’’) is a 

Developmental Venture Capital program 

for the purpose of promoting economic 

development and the creation of wealth 

and job opportunities in Rural Areas 

and among individuals living in such 

areas through the licensing of Rural 

Business Investment Companies 

(‘‘RBICs’’). 

The information USDA seeks to 

collect is critical to the integrity of the 

process for selecting RBICs for 

participation in the RBIP and to the 

accomplishment of the objectives of the 

RBIP. Without this collection of 

information, USDA would be unable to 

meet the requirements of the Act and 

effectively administer the RBIP, 

ensuring safety and soundness. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 1 hour per 

response. 

Respondents: Newly established, forprofit entities applying for RBIC 

licensure) and licensed RBICs (venture 

capital companies approved by USDA to 

participate in the RBIP). 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 1. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 148. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 148. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 167. 

Copies of this information collection 

can be obtained from Cheryl Thompson,

Management Branch, Support Services 

Division at (202) 692–0043. 

Comments: Comments are invited on: 

(a) Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of USDA, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of 

USDA’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and
