seq.); NEPA Regulations (40 CFR parts 

1500–1508); other appropriate Federal 

laws and regulations; and our policies 

and procedures for compliance with 

those laws and regulations. 

Each unit of the NWRS was 

established for specific purposes. We 

use these purposes to develop and 

prioritize management goals and 

objectives within the NWRS mission 

and to guide which public uses occur on 

a refuge. The planning process is a way 

for us and the public to evaluate 

management goals and objectives for the 

best possible approach to wildlife, 

plant, and habitat conservation, while 

providing for wildlife-dependent 

recreational opportunities that are 

compatible with a refuge’s establishing 

purposes and the mission of the NWRS. 

We will conduct a planning process 

that provides opportunities for the 

public, Federal and local government 

agencies, Native Hawaiian 

organizations, and others to participate 

in issue scoping and public comment. 

We request input for issues, concerns, 

ideas, and suggestions for the future 

management of the Hanalei, Hule ̄‘ia and 

Kı ̄lauea Point NWRs. 

We will also give the public an 

opportunity to provide input at open 

houses to identify issues and concerns. 

All information provided voluntarily by 

mail, phone, or at public meetings 

becomes part of our official public 

record. We will handle requests for 

comments received in accordance with 

the Freedom of Information Act, NEPA, 

and other applicable statutory 

authorities. 

The Refuges 

Hanalei, Hule ̄‘ia, and Kı ̄lauea Point 

National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs) are 

part of the Kaua‘i National Wildlife 

Refuge Complex (NWRC or Complex). 

Hanalei NWR, located along the lower 

reach and floodplain of the Hanalei 

River along the northern shore of Kaua‘i, 

was established in 1972 for the purpose 

of providing habitat for Hawai‘i’s 

endangered water birds and the 

Hawaiian goose. Hule ̄‘ia NWR, located 

along the Hule ̄‘ia River on Kaua‘i’s 

eastern shore, was established in 1973 

for the purpose of providing habitat for 

Hawai‘i’s endangered water birds. 

Kı ̄lauea Point NWR, located at the 

northern most point of Kaua‘i, was 

established in 1985 for the purpose of 

providing habitat for seabirds, ne ̄ne ̄, and 

native plants, to preserve the historic 

light station, and provide environmental 

education to the public. Kı ̄lauea Point 

NWR’s purpose was expanded in 2004 

to include conserving and managing the 

biological diversity of native coastal 

strand, riparian, and aquatic habitats, 

and continue the protection and 

recovery of endangered Hawaiian water 

birds and other endangered birds, 

including the Hawaiian goose. 

Scoping: Preliminary Issues, Concerns, 

and Opportunities 

We have identified preliminary 

issues, concerns, and opportunities to 

be addressed in the CCP; additional 

issues may be identified through public 

scoping. 

During the CCP planning process, the 

Service will analyze methods for 

protecting the resources of the Hanalei, 

Hule ̄‘ia, and Kı ̄lauea Point NWRs while 

providing quality opportunities for 

wildlife-dependent recreation. The 

Service will evaluate public use 

programs and facilities, cultural and 

historic resources, cooperative farming, 

alternative transportation opportunities, 

wetland management, land acquisition, 

and endangered species interactions 

with humans. 

Public Meetings 

‘‘Talk Story’’ Sessions 

To begin the public scoping phase of 

the planning process, we will hold a 

number of facilitated ‘‘Talk Story’’ 

Sessions for the public, Refuge 

neighbors, and others. These facilitated 

sessions are designed to gather 

information about local knowledge and 

cultural ties for each of the refuges, 

including stories passed down through 

generations of living on, working on, 

and enjoying the Refuges’ lands, waters, 

and natural and cultural resources. 

These sessions will be open to the 

public and held in communities near 

the Refuges to encourage local 

participation. 

Public Open House Meetings 

We will also hold Public Open House 

Meetings as part of public scoping to 

answer questions, obtain comments on 

Refuge management issues, and learn 

about natural resource issues important 

to the public, the State, and other 

agencies and organizations. In order to 

incorporate the information we gain 

from the Talk Story Sessions into the 

Public Open House Meetings, the 

meetings will be held several weeks 

after the Talk Story Sessions. We will 

provide additional opportunities for 

public involvement throughout our CCP 

planning process. Public involvement 

opportunities will be announced in 

local news media, on our websites, and 

through our mailing list. 

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.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Mine Safety and Health Administration 

Proposed Information Collection 

Request Submitted for Public 

Comment and Recommendations; 

Explosive Materials and Blasting Units 

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 Mine Safety and Health 

Administration (MSHA) is soliciting 

comments concerning the extension of 

the information collection related to the 

30 CFR Sections 57.22606(a); Explosive 

Materials and Blasting Units. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before 

November 27, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to U.S.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

MSHA evaluates and approves 

explosive materials and blasting units as 

permissible for use in the mining 

industry. However, since there are no 

permissible explosives or blasting units 

available that have adequate blasting 

capacity for some metal and nonmetal 

gassy mines, Standard 57.22606(a) was 

promulgated to provide procedures for 

mine operators to follow for the use of 

non-approved explosive materials and 

blasting units. Mine operators must 

notify MSHA in writing, of all nonapprove explosive materials and 

blasting units to be used prior to their 

use. MSHA evaluates the non-approved 

explosive materials and determines if 

they are safe for blasting in a potentially 

gassy environment. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments 

MSHA 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. 

A copy of the proposed information 

collection request can be obtained by 

contacting the employee listed in the 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

section of this notice, or viewed on the 

Internet by accessing the MSHA home 

page (http://www.msha.gov) and 

selecting ‘‘Rules & Regs’’, and then 

selecting ‘‘FedReg. Doc’’. On the next 

screen, select ‘‘Paperwork Reduction 

Act Supporting Statement’’ to view 

documents supporting the Federal 

Register Notice. 

III. Current Actions 

MSHA uses the information to 

determine that the explosives and 

blasting procedures to be used in a gassy 

underground mine are safe. Federal 

inspectors use the notification to ensure 

that safe procedures are followed.
