Title of Collection: Independent Living Services for Older Individuals
Who are Blind.

OMB Control Number: 1820–0608. Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.

Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 56.

Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 336.

Abstract: This data collection instrument is being submitted to obtain approval for information collection on the Independent Living Services For
Older Individuals Who Are Blind program. Through this program, grants are made to states to support services for individuals age 55 or older whose severe visual impairment makes competitive employment difficult to obtain but for whom independent living goals are feasible. This data will be used to evaluate and construct a profile for the program nationwide. The respondents will be the managers of the Independent Living Services For Older Individuals Who Are blind program in
each of the 56 states and territories. The
revisions to this instrument consist of 2 additional items in Part I to capture the
amount of other federal funds made available to the program, and the carryover for those funds. In Part III, rearrangement in the order of requested information to avoid double counting of consumers in the race and ethnicity categories; an additional item to capture
the number of consumers served who are homeless; additional items to capture the number of consumers referred from nursing homes, assisted living facilities, government/social service agencies, and self-referrals.

**DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY**

**Record of Decision for the Uranium Leasing Program Programmatic**  **Environmental Impact Statement**

**AGENCY :**  Office of Legacy Management, Department of Energy.

**ACTION :**  Record of Decision.

**SUMMARY :**  The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announces its decision to continue management of the Uranium Leasing Program (ULP) for 31 lease tracts for the next 10 years, consistent with DOE’s preferred alternative identified in the Final Uranium Leasing Program Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (Final ULP PEIS) (DOE/EIS–0472). DOE prepared the
Final ULP PEIS to evaluate the reasonably foreseeable environmental impacts, including the site-specific impacts, of the range of reasonable alternatives for the management of the ULP. Under the ULP, DOE administers 31 tracts of land covering an aggregate of approximately 25,000 acres (10,000 ha) in Mesa, Montrose, and San Miguel
Counties in western Colorado for exploration, mine development and operations, and reclamation of uranium mines. There are currently 29 tracts that have been leased; the two other tracts have not been leased. Analyses in the
Final ULP PEIS were based on sitespecific information available on the 31 lease tracts (including current lessee information and status, size of each lease tract, previous mining operations that occurred, location of existing permitted mines and associated structures, and other environmental information) and additional information on uranium mining from other references and cooperating agency input. As plans for exploration, mine development and operation, or reclamation are submitted by the lessees to DOE for approval, further National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analyses will be prepared for each plan and will be tiered from the analyses
contained in the Final ULP PEIS.

‘‘The 31 leases currently in existence’’ under the ULP are stayed by an Order issued by the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado ( Colorado
Environmental Coalition v. DOE, 819 F. Supp. 2d 1193, 1224 (D. Colo. 2011)). The Court also enjoined DOE from issuing any new leases and from approving any activities on lands governed by the ULP. The Court also
ordered that after DOE conducts an environmental analysis that complies with NEPA, the Endangered Species Act (ESA), all other governing statutes and regulations, and the Court’s Order, DOE could then request a dissolution of the injunction.

The Court later amended its injunction to allow DOE, other Federal, state, or local governmental agencies, and/or the ULP lessees to conduct only
those activities on ULP lands that are absolutely necessary. DOE will implement this ROD only after the U.S.
District Court for the District of Colorado has dissolved the injunction that it issued on October 18, 2011.

DOE has complied with Executive Order (E.O.) 13175, Section 7 of the ESA, and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) by completing its consultations with tribal governments, with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and with tribes, government agencies, and local historical groups.

**ADDRESSES :**  The Final ULP PEIS and
this ROD are available on DOE’s NEPA
Web site at http://energy.gov/nepa/ nepa-documents; on the DOE Legacy Management (LM) Web site at http://energy.gov/lm/office-legacymanagement; and on the ULP PEIS Web

site at http://ulpeis.anl.gov. Requests for copies of these documents may be submitted through the ULP PEIS Web

site at http://ulpeis.anl.gov; or by contacting Dr. David Shafer by electronic mail: David.Shafer@ lm.doe.gov

.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  To obtain additional information about the ULP, the PEIS, or the ROD, contact Dr. David Shafer, LM Asset Management Team Lead, as indicated under

**ADDRESSES** above. For general
information about the DOE NEPA process, contact Ms. Carol Borgstrom, Director, Office of NEPA Policy and Compliance (GC–54), U.S. Department of Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20585; telephone: 202–586–4600; email: askNEPA@ hq.doe.gov; fax: 202–586–7031; or leave a toll-free message at 1–800–472–2756.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  DOE prepared the ULP PEIS and this ROD pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 United States Code [U.S.C.] §§ 4321, et seq. ), and in compliance with the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) implementing regulations for NEPA (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Parts 1500 through 1508), and DOE’s implementing procedures for NEPA (10 C.F.R. Part 1021). This ROD is based on
DOE’s Final ULP PEIS.

Background

Congress authorized DOE’s predecessor agency, the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), to develop a supply of domestic uranium. The aggregated acreage managed by AEC totaled approximately 25,000 acres (10,000 ha) in Mesa, Montrose, and San Miguel Counties in western Colorado. Beginning in 1949, the AEC and its successor agencies, the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration and DOE, administered three separate and distinct leasing programs during the ensuing 60 years. In July 2007, DOE issued a programmatic environmental assessment (PEA) for the ULP, in which
it examined three alternatives for the management of the ULP for the next 10 years. In that same month, DOE issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), in which DOE announced its decision to proceed with the Expanded Program Alternative, and also determined that preparation of an environmental impact statement (EIS) was not required. Under the Expanded Program Alternative, DOE would extend the 13 existing leases for a 10-year period and would also expand the ULP to include the competitive offering of up
to 25 additional lease tracts to the domestic uranium industry. In 2008, DOE implemented the Expanded Program Alternative and executed new lease agreements with the existing
