Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 37 / Thursday, February 25, 2010 / Notices 8729 

Development’s (HUD) Section 108 

program is the loan guarantee provision 

of the Community Development Block 

Grant (CDBG) program. It provides an 

upfront source of community and 

economic development financing, 

allowing an entitlement grantee to 

borrow up to five times its annual 

approved CDBG entitlement amount. 

Grantees address housing, community 

development, and economic 

development needs of low- and 

moderate-income persons and 

communities. The Section 108 loan 

guarantee program facilitates the 

financing of physical and economic 

revitalization projects—such as 

neighborhood commercial centers, small 

business incubators, industrial park 

rehabilitation, affordable housing 

activities, or office center construction— 

that have the potential for renewing 

neighborhoods or providing affordable 

housing to low- and moderate-income 

persons. HUD acts as the guarantor of a 

Section 108 loan made from privatemarket funds, promising investors that 

the loan will be repaid. 

The survey is an essential part of a 

comprehensive evaluation of the 

Section 108 program, addressed to 

questions and concerns raised in a 

recent PART review of the Section 108 

program by OMB. In addition to 

documenting the types of projects 

funded through Section 108 loans in 

recent years (FY 2002–FY 2007), the 

study will develop data from 

administrative loan files, selected site 

visits, and a survey of local 

administrators of all Section 108 loans 

for the FY 2002–FY 2007 period. The 

survey will confirm and extend the 

initial project descriptions found in the 

administrative files to permit more 

extensive analysis of the characteristics 

and progress of the activities funded by 

these loans. This study will increase 

understanding of the role of the Section 

108 program in the community and 

economic development strategies of 

local governments, seek to identify the 

consequences of Section 108 projects, 

and identify ways to improve the 

measurement of the performance of 

Section 108 loans. 

Members of affected public: Local 

administrators of Section 108 loans 

made in FY 2002 to FY 2007, involving 

a total of approximately 320 loans. 

Estimation of the total number of 

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection, including the number of 

respondents, frequency of response, and 

hours of response: The researchers will 

survey the universe of local 

administrators of the roughly 320 

Section 108 loans approved between FY 

2002 and FY 2007. The surveys are 

expected to last 90 minutes. This 

constitutes a total burden hour estimate 

of 480 burden hours. 

Status of the proposed information 

collection: Pending OMB approval. 

Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, 

as amended. 

Dated: January 28, 2010.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Central Utah Project Completion Act; 

Intent To Prepare an Environmental 

Assessment for the Proposed 

Realignment of a Portion of the Provo 

Reach of the Spanish Fork-Provo 

Reservoir Canal Pipeline 

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant 

Secretary—Water and Science, 

Department of the Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c) 

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969, as amended, the 

Department of the Interior (Interior), the 

Central Utah Water Conservancy 

District, and the Utah Reclamation 

Mitigation and Conservation 

Commission (Mitigation Commission), 

as Joint Leads, will prepare an 

Environmental Assessment of the 

impacts associated with the proposed 

realignment of a portion of the Provo 

Reach of the Spanish Fork-Provo 

Reservoir Canal Pipeline. This 

realignment is necessitated in order to 

avoid active and historic landslides, and 

reduce risk to the pipeline and 

associated features from geologic faults. 

DATES: Date and location for public 

scoping will be announced locally. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Additional information may be obtained 

by contacting Mr. Lee Baxter at (801) 

379–1174, or by e-mail at 

lbaxter@uc.usbr.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

authority of the Central Utah Project 

Completion Act (Pub. L. 102–575), the 

Secretary of the Interior oversees water 

development activities associated with 

the Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah 

Project. The Spanish Fork-Provo 

Reservoir Canal Pipeline (SFPRCP), a 

feature of the Utah Lake Drainage Basin 

Water Delivery System of the Bonneville 

Unit, was described in the 2004 Final 

Environmental Impact Statement for the 

Utah Lake Drainage Basin Water 

Delivery System. Records of Decision 

were signed by Interior on December 22, 

2004, and by the Mitigation Commission 

on January 27, 2005, providing for the 

construction of the Utah Lake Drainage 

Basin Water Delivery System, including 

the 19.7 mile long SFPRCP. The 

Mapleton and Springville Reaches of the 

SFPRCP, totaling approximately 8.8 

miles of the pipeline, are currently 

under construction. Detailed 

information developed as part of the 

Value Engineering process for the Provo 

Reach of the SFPRCP suggests 

realignment of a portion of the Provo 

Reach in order to avoid active and 

historic landslides, and reduce risk from 

geologic faults. The purpose of this 

Environmental Assessment is to analyze 

and present the anticipated 

environmental effects of the proposed 

realignment. 

Dated: January 22, 2010.
