Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 153 / Wednesday, August 9, 2006 / Notices 45517 

Type of Request: Revision and 

extension of a currently approved 

collection. 

Abstract: Motor Carriers provide over 

the road trucking, and Intermodal 

Marketing Companies (IMCs) provide 

rail trailer-on-flatcar/container-onflatcar (TOFC/COFC) service that CCC at 

the Kansas City Commodity Office 

(KCCO) hires to meet program 

transportation needs for the agricultural 

commodities. Motor Carriers and IMCs 

are required to complete and submit the 

KC–5, Rate Quotation for Transportation 

Services form. The CCC is collecting 

freight rate quotes to establish the 

lowest cost of movement to meet 

transportation needs of U.S. Department 

of Agriculture. CCC must ensure that 

Motor Carriers and IMCs providing the 

transportation service have both the 

willingness and the capacity to meet 

these needs. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: Public 

reporting burden for collecting 

information under this notice is 

estimated to average 15 minutes per 

response, including the time for 

reviewing instructions, searching 

existing data sources, gathering and 

maintaining the data needed, and 

completing and reviewing the collection 

of information. 

Type of Respondents: Motor Carriers 

and Intermodal Marketing companies. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

164. 

Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses per Respondent: 41. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 1,681 hours. 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of burden including 

the validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility and clarity of the 

information collected; or (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

the 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. 

All comments received response to 

this notice, including names and 

addresses when provided, will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

also become a matter of public record. 

Signed at Washington, DC, on August 3, 

2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Forest 

Service is proposing to prepare a 

supplement to the final environmental 

impact statement for the SWIEG 

FLRMP. In accordance with FSH 

1909.15—Chapter 10—Section 18, the 

2003 SWIEG FLRMP Final EIS has been 

reviewed. The Forest Service will 

prepare a supplement to the Final EIS 

by analyzing and presenting additional 

information concerning terrestrial 

management Indicator Species (MIS) 

specific to the 1982 regulations at 36 

CFR 219.20. The scope and analysis of 

the proposed supplement to the Final 

EIS will be limited to the requirements 

for MIS analysis in 36 CFR 219.20. 

The original Notice of Intent for 

revision of the SWIEG FLRMP EIS was 

published in the Federal Register Vol. 

63, No. 79, April 24, 1998. In July, 2003, 

a separate Record of Decision (ROD) was 

issued for each of the three SWIEG 

Forests (Boise, Payette, and Sawtooth) 

which implemented Alternative 7 as 

described in their respective ROD. All 

three RODs were appealed in 2004. The 

Appeal Deciding Officer affirmed each 

ROD on March 9, 2005. 

Purpose and Need for Action 

The supplement will not change the 

purpose and need which was described 

in the SWIEG FLRMP Final EIS on 

pages 1–4 through 1–8. The scope of the 

supplement is only to provide 

additional analysis regarding terrestrial 

MIS. 

Proposed Action 

The supplement will not change the 

proposed action which was described in 

the SWIEG FLRMP Final EIS on pages 

1–1 through 1–3. The scope of the 

supplement is only to provide 

additional analysis in accordance with 

36 CFR 219.20 regarding terrestrial MIS. 

Responsible Official 

The Responsible Official is Jack 

Troyer, Intermountain Regional 

Forester, USDA—Forest Service; 324 

25th Street; Ogden, UT 84401. 

Nature of Decision To Be Made 

The Responsible Official will review 

the supplement and determine if the 

2003 Records of Decision for the Boise, 

Payette, and Sawtooth National Forests, 

based on the SWIEG FLRMP Final EIS, 

should be modified or if the original 

decisions are to remain in effect and 

unchanged. 

Scoping Process 

Extensive public involvement has 

occurred on this project over the last ten 

years in the form of news releases, field 

tours, and public meetings. No 

additional scoping is planned for this 

supplement.

Comment Requested 

A legal notice will be published in the 

newspaper of record and a Notice of 

Availability will be published in the 

Federal Register to inform the public 

when the supplement to the SWIEG 

FLRMP EIS is availale for review and 

comment. The draft supplement to the 

SWIEG FLRMP EIS will be distributed 

to all parties that received the 2003 

SWIEG FLRMP Final EIS and Record of 

Decision and to those parties that filed 

an appeal of the 2003 decision. 

Early Notice of Importance of Public 

Participation in Subsequent 

Environmental Review: A draft 

supplement to the SWIEG FLRMP EIS 

will be prepared for comment. The 

comment period on the draft 

supplement to teh SWIEG FLRMP EIS 

will be 45 days from the date the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

publishes the notice of availability in 

the Federal Register. 

The Forest Service believes, at this 

early stage, it is important to give 

reviewers notice of several court rulings 

related to public participation in the 

environmental review process. First, 

reviewers of the draft supplement must 

structure their participation in the 

environmental reivew of the proposal so 

that it is meaningful and alerts an 

agency to the reviewer’s position and 

contentions. Vermont Yankee Nuclear 

Power Corp. v. NRDC, 435 U.S. 519, 553 

(1978). Also, environmental objections 

that could be raised at the draft 

supplement stage but that are not raised 

until after completion of the final 

supplement may be waived or 

dismissed by the courts. City of Angoon 

v. Hodel, 803 F.2d 1016, 1022 (9th Cir. 

1986) and Wisconsin Heritages, Inc. v. 

Harris, 490 F. Supp. 1334, 1338 (E.D. 

Wis. 1980). Because of these court 

rulings, it is very important that those 

interested in this proposed action 

participate by the close of the 45-day 

comment period so that substantive 

comments and objections are made 

available to the Forest Service at a time 

when it can meaningfully consider them 

and respond to them in the final 

supplement to the SWIEG FLRMP EIS. 

To assist the Forest Service it is helpful 

if comments refer to specific pages or 

chapters of the draft supplement. 

Reviewers may wish to refer to the 

Council on Environmental Quality 

Regulations for implementing the 

procedural provisions of the National 

Environmental Policy Act at 40 CFR 

1503.3 in addressing these points. 

Comments received, including the 

names and addresses of those who 

comment, will be considered part of the 

public record on this proposal and will 

be available for public inspection.
