Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: 

We have identified no paperwork nonhour cost burdens associated with the 

collection of information. 

Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA 

(44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an 

agency may not conduct or sponsor a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. Until OMB approves a 

collection of information, you are not 

obligated to respond. 

Comments: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) 

requires each agency ‘‘* * * to provide 

notice * * * and otherwise consult 

with members of the public and affected 

agencies concerning each proposed 

collection of information * * *’’ 

Agencies must specifically solicit 

comments to: (a) Evaluate whether the 

proposed collection of information is 

necessary for the agency to perform its 

duties, including whether the 

information is useful; (b) evaluate the 

accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information; (c) enhance the quality, 

usefulness, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

minimize the burden on the 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

To comply with the public 

consultation process, on May 1, 2009, 

we published a Federal Register notice 

(74 FR 20330) announcing that we 

would submit this ICR to OMB for 

approval. The notice provided the 

required 60-day comment period. In 

addition, § 250.199 provides the OMB 

control number for the information 

collection requirements imposed by the 

30 CFR 250 regulations. The regulation 

also informs the public that they may 

comment at any time on the collections 

of information and provides the address 

to which they should send comments. 

We have received no comments in 

response to these efforts. 

If you wish to comment in response 

to this notice, you may send your 

comments to the offices listed under the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice. The 

OMB has up to 60 days to approve or 

disapprove the information collection 

but may respond after 30 days. 

Therefore, to ensure maximum 

consideration, OMB should receive 

public comments by September 2, 2009. 

Public Availability of Comments: 

Before including your address, phone 

number, e-mail address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.

Notice of Intent (NOI) To Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the LaBarge Platform Project, Sublette 

County and Lincoln County, WY 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) Field Office,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

LaBarge Platform Project is generally 

located between Townships 26 and 31 

North, Ranges 111 through 114 West, 

6th Principal Meridian, Sublette, and 

Lincoln Counties, Wyoming. The project 

area is located within 3 miles of Big 

Piney, Wyoming, within 1 mile of La 

Barge, Wyoming and 60 miles northwest 

of Rock Springs, Wyoming. The project 

area covers approximately 218,000 acres 

of mixed Federal, State, and private 

lands. The BLM Pinedale Field Office 

and Rock Springs Field Office manage 

the Federal lands in the project area. 

The Pinedale Field Office will serve as 

the lead office. 

The proposed action is in 

conformance with the Pinedale 

Resource Management/Final 

Environmental Impact Statement and 

Record of Decision (ROD), 2008, and the 

Green River Resource Management Plan 

and its ROD, 1997. 

The LaBarge Platform Project is 

located in an area of existing oil and gas 

development, some of which dates back 

to the 1920s. The project area is 

comprised of 70 percent public lands 

administered by the BLM, 5 percent 

lands managed by the State of Wyoming 

and 24 percent private lands. 

Approximately 74 percent of the 

subsurface resources are Federal 

mineral estate. In April 2008, EOG 

submitted to the BLM a proposal to 

expand oil and natural gas exploration 

and development operations that would 

result in further development and 

additional wells in the existing LaBarge 

Platform and East LaBarge fields which 

have been in production since the 

1920s. 

The purpose of the proposed project 

is to explore, extract, and recover oil 

and natural gas. EOG proposes to 

develop up to approximately 605 new 

oil and gas wells from an estimated 455 

well pads as infill, exploratory, or stepout wells to all productive formations 

including but not limited to: Baxter, 

Frontier, and Mesa Verde. Associated 

facilities in the proposal include roads, 

well pads, and gathering pipelines. No 

additional ancillary facilities are 

included as part of the proposal nor 

considered as part of this analysis. 

The estimated life-of-project would be 

about 40–50 years. Depending on the 

geological characteristics of the target 

formation, wells would be drilled using 

a combination of vertical, directional, 

and horizontal drilling techniques. The 

proposal calls for a 10-year construction 

and drilling period. 

A number of other operators within or 

near the EOG project area expect to drill 

and develop approximately 175 natural 

gas wells within the reasonably 

foreseeable future. These possible wells 

would be analyzed in a separate 

alternative and addressed in the 

cumulative effects portion of this EIS 

document. 

During the preparation of the EIS, 

interim exploration and development 

will be subject to development 

guidelines and decisions made in 

applicable NEPA documents, including 

but not limited to: Coordinated Activity 

Plan for the Big Piney/LaBarge Area, 

and ROD, 1991; Enron Oil & Gas 

Company East LaBarge Infill Drilling 

Project Environmental Assessment (EA), 

Finding of No Significant Impact and 

Decision Record 1992; the Green River 

Resource Management Plan and Final 

EIS and ROD, 1997; and the Pinedale 

Resource Management Plan/Final EIS 

and ROD, 2008. 

The LaBarge Platform Project area is 

adjacent to the project area considered 

in the South Piney Natural Gas Project 

Draft EIS (2005). The proponent of the 

South Piney Project has not submitted 

any revised proposals nor has the BLM 

been contacted about continuing any 

further NEPA process. Therefore, the 

BLM has concluded its NEPA process 

and no further environmental 

documents will be prepared for the 

South Piney Project proposal. 

The EIS for the LaBarge Platform 

Project will analyze the environmental 

consequences of implementing the 

proposed action and alternatives to the 

proposed action, including a No Action 

alternative. Other alternatives that may 

be considered in detail include drilling 

surface densities and pace of 

development different from those of the 

proposed action. 

Your input is important and will be 

considered in the environmental 

analysis process. All comment 

submittals must include the 

commenter’s name and street address. 

Comments including the names and 

addresses of the respondent will be 

available for public inspection at the 

above offices during normal business 

hours, Monday through Friday, except 

Federal holidays. Before including your 

address, phone number, e-mail address, 

or any other personal identifying 

information in your comment, be 

advised that your entire comment, 

including your personal identifying 

information may be publicly available at 

any time. While you can ask us in your 

comment to withhold from public 

review your personal identifying 

information, we cannot guarantee that 

we will be able to do so. 

All submissions from organizations or 

businesses, and from individuals 

identifying themselves as 

representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses, will be 

made available for public inspection in 

their entirety.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Inventory Completion: St. 

Lawrence University, Department of 

Anthropology, Canton, NY; Correction 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice; correction. 

Notice is here given in accordance 

with the Native American Graves 

Protection and Repatriation Act 

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the 

completion of an inventory of human 

remains in the possession of St. 

Lawrence University, Department of 

Anthropology, Canton, NY. The human 

remains were removed from St. 

Lawrence County, NY. 

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations 

in this notice are the sole responsibility 

of the museum, institution, or Federal 

agency that has control of the Native 

American human remains. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

This notice corrects the number of 

tribes that were determined to be 

culturally affiliated in a Notice of 

Inventory Completion previously 

published in the Federal Register (73 

FR 50996–50997, August 29, 2008) by 

adding the Oneida, Cayuga, and 

Onondaga Indian Nations, in addition to 

the Mohawk Nation. After publication, 

St. Lawrence University determined that 

the Oneida, Mohawk, Cayuga, and 

Onondaga Nations are all culturally 

affiliated with the Native American 

human remains, which are currently in 

the possession of the Department of 

Anthropology, St. Lawrence University. 

In the Federal Register of August 29, 

2008, paragraph numbers 6–10 are 

corrected by substituting the following: 

The region of Gouverneur has been 

occupied by Native Americans from 

10,000 BP up to the historic period and
