funded under the American Recovery 

and Reconstruction Act of 2009. 

ACTION: Preliminary Finding of No 

Significant Impact (FONSI) for Wind 

Turbine Installation to be located at the 

Angell Job Corps Center, 335 NE. 

Blodgett Road, Yachats, Oregon. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Council on 

Environmental Quality Regulations (40 

CFR part 1500–08) implementing 

procedural provisions of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the 

Department of Labor, Office of the 

Secretary (OSEC) in accordance with 29 

CFR 11.11(d), gives notice that an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) has 

been prepared for a proposed Small 

Wind Turbine Installation to be located 

at the Angell Job Corps Center, 335 NE. 

Blodgett Road, Yachats, Oregon, and 

that the proposed plan for the 

construction of a wind turbine at the 

Angell Job Corps Center will have no 

significant environmental impact. This 

Preliminary Finding of No Significant 

Impact (FONSI) will be made available 

for public review and comment for a 

period of 30 days. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted by 

October 1, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Any comment(s) are to be 

submitted to William A. Dakshaw, P.E., 

Division of Facilities and Asset 

Management, Department of Labor, 200 

Constitution Avenue, NW., Room N– 

4460, Washington, DC 20210, (202) 693– 

2867 (this is not a toll-free number). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Copies of the EA are available to 

interested parties by contacting William 

A. Dakshaw, P.E., Division of Facilities 

and Asset Management, Department of 

Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., 

Room N–4460, Washington, DC 20210, 

(202) 693–2867 (this is not a toll-free 

number). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

proposed project includes a renewable 

energy project that will consist of the 

construction of a 1–20 kW wind turbine 

or 2–10 kW wind turbines. The 

proposed project will enable the Job 

Corps to generate their own clean power 

at the facility. The wind turbines will be 

installed on self supporting towers 

approximately 80 feet above the ground. 

The wind turbines will produce clean 

energy for the Angell Job Corps Center, 

demonstrate renewable energy 

capabilities to Job Corps Students and 

help the program meet Federal 

requirements in Executive Order 13423 

for renewable energy production. This 

project is not expected to have a 

negative impact on population 

demographics, the surrounding area, 

environmental quality, or natural 

systems and heritage. Based on the 

information gathered during the 

preparation of the EA, the construction 

of a wind turbine at the Angell Job 

Corps Center, 335 NE. Blodgett Road, 

Yachats, Oregon will not create any 

significant adverse impacts on the 

environment.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Office of Labor-Management 

Standards 

Proposed Extension of the Approval of 

Information Collection Requirements 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This 

program helps to ensure that requested 

data can be provided in the desired 

format, reporting burden (time and 

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. Currently, the Office 

of Labor-Management Standards is 

soliciting comments concerning its 

proposal to extend the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval of the Information Collection 

1215–0205: Pre-2007 Labor 

Organization Officer and Employee 

Report (Pre-2007 Form LM–30). A copy 

of the proposed information collection 

request can be obtained by contacting 

the office listed below in the ADDRESSES

section of this Notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

address section below on or before 

November 2, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Congress enacted the LaborManagement Reporting and Disclosure 

Act (LMRDA), 29 U.S.C. 401 et seq., to 

provide for the disclosure of 

information on the financial 

transactions and administrative 

practices of labor organizations, and, 

under certain circumstances, for 

reporting by labor organization officers 

and employees, employers, labor 

relations consultants, and surety 

companies. Section 208 of the Act 

authorizes the Secretary to issue rules 

and regulations prescribing the form of 

the required reports and such other 

rules and regulations (including rules 

prescribing reports concerning trusts in 

which a labor organization is interested) 

as may be necessary to prevent 

circumvention or evasion of the 

reporting requirements. 

The Secretary established the Form 

LM–30, Labor Organization Officer and 

Employee Report, pursuant to section 

202 of the LMRDA, 29 U.S.C. 432. See 

29 CFR Part 404. Section 202 was 

intended to disclose certain payments 

and interests that could create a 

potential conflict of interest between the 

union officer and employee and his or 

her obligations to the union. The Form 

LM–30 requires every labor organization 

officer and employee (other than an 

employee performing exclusively 

clerical or custodial services) to file a 

Form LM–30 report within 90 days of 

the end of his/her fiscal year listing and 

describing certain financial transactions 

engaged in, and interests held by, the 

officer or employee or his/her spouse or 

minor child: 

(1) Legal and equitable interests, 

transactions with, and economic benefits 

from an employer whose employees his/her 

union represents or seeks to represent; (2) 

legal and equitable interests in, transactions 

with, and economic benefits from certain 

businesses that deal in substantial part with 

the business of the employer whose 

employees the union represents or seeks to 

represent, or that deal with the union or a 

trust in which the labor organization is 

interested; and (3) certain income and other 

economic benefits received from any 

employer or labor relations consultant. 

The Form LM–30 applies to officers 

and employees of labor organizations 

with private sector employees working 

in interstate commerce within the 

meaning of sections 3(i) and (j) of the 

LMRDA, 29 U.S.C. 402(i) and (j), and of 

labor organizations composed of U.S. 

Postal Service employees. It does not 

apply to officers and employees of labor 

organizations that represent employees 

of the executive branch agencies of the 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

45256 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 168 / Tuesday, September 1, 2009 / Notices 

Federal Government, the Library of 

Congress, the Government Printing 

Office, or employees of the U.S. 

Congress. Form LM–30 filers must 

ensure the maintenance and retention of 

supporting records for five years after 

the required reports are filed. 

On July 2, 2007, the Department 

published a final rule establishing a 

revised Form LM–30, which 

dramatically altered the pre-2007 Form 

LM–30 (72 FR 36105). The information 

collection for the 2007 version of the 

Form LM–30 is currently approved by 

OMB through November 30, 2011, with 

an OMB number of 1215–0188. 

(Information collection 1215–0188 also 

includes the remaining LMRDA 

reporting and disclosure forms). 

However, fundamental questions have 

arisen regarding the scope and extent of 

the reporting obligations under the 2007 

Form LM–30 and remain unanswered, 

and litigation challenging some aspects 

of this form remains pending. The 

Department published in the spring 

2009 Semi-Annual Regulatory Agenda 

notice of an intended rulemaking to 

revise the Form LM–30. The rulemaking 

is intended to review questions of 

policy and law surrounding the union 

officer and employee-reporting 

obligation and will focus on reporting 

changes resulting from the 2007 

regulatory revision of the LM–30 form 

and instructions. 

While the planned rulemaking is 

pending, union officers and employees 

must continue to meet their statutory 

obligation pursuant to section 202 of the 

LMRDA. In light of the unresolved 

questions regarding the scope of 

reporting required under section 202, 

the pending regulatory action, the 

pending litigation, and the statutorily 

mandated filing obligation, the 

Department has determined that it 

would not be a good use of resources to 

bring enforcement actions based upon a 

failure to use a specific form to comply 

with the statutory obligation to report 

under section 202 of the LMRDA. 

Accordingly, the Department will 

refrain from initiating enforcement 

actions against union officers and union 

employees based solely on the failure to 

file the report required by section 202 

using the 2007 form, as long as 

individuals meet their statutorilyrequired filing obligation in some 

manner. The Department will accept a 

report filed on either the pre-2007 Form 

LM–30 or the 2007 form for purposes of 

this enforcement policy. 

This information collection request is 

needed to ensure that filers have both 

options available pending regulatory 

action, and pertains only to the pre-2007 

Form LM–30. This information 

collection is currently approved for use 

through September 30, 2009. The 

Department is seeking an extension of 

this information collection on the pre2007 Form LM–30 through November 

30, 2011. This date is the current 

expiration date for OMB Number 1215– 

0188 (all other reporting and disclosure 

forms). 

II. Review Focus 

The Department of Labor is 

particularly interested in comments 

that: 

* Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

* Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

* Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

* Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses. 

III. Current Actions 

The DOL seeks the approval of the 

extension of this information collection 

in order to ensure parties receive 

information required by the LMRDA 

and for the agency to carry out its 

responsibilities under the Act.
