Estimated Annual Reporting and 

Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-hour Cost’’

Burden: We have identified no ‘‘nonhour cost’’ burden 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, and 

a person is not required to respond to, 

a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

Comments: Before submitting an ICR 

to OMB, PRA Section 3506(c)(2)(A) 

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. 

The PRA also requires agencies to 

estimate the total annual reporting 

‘‘non-hour cost’’ burden to respondents 

or recordkeepers resulting from the 

collection of information. If you have 

costs to generate, maintain, and disclose 

this information, you should comment 

and provide your total capital and 

startup cost components or annual 

operation, maintenance, and purchase 

of service components. You should 

describe the methods you use to 

estimate major cost factors, including 

system and technology acquisition, 

expected useful life of capital 

equipment, discount rate(s), and the 

period over which you incur costs. 

Capital and startup costs include, 

among other items, computers and 

software you purchase to prepare for 

collecting information; monitoring, 

sampling, and testing equipment; and 

record storage facilities. Generally, your 

estimates should not include equipment 

or services purchased: (i) Before October 

1, 1995; (ii) to comply with 

requirements not associated with the 

information collection; (iii) for reasons 

other than to provide information or 

keep records for the Government; or (iv) 

as part of customary and usual business 

or private practices. 

We will summarize written responses 

to this notice and address them in our 

ICR submission for OMB approval, 

including appropriate adjustments to 

the estimated burden. We will provide 

a copy of the ICR to you without charge 

upon request. The ICR also will be 

posted on our Web site at http:// 

www.mrm.mms.gov/Laws_R_D/ 

FRNotices/FRInfColl.htm. 

Public Comment Policy: We will post 

all comments in response to this notice 

on our Web site at http:// 

www.mrm.mms.gov/Laws_R_D/ 

FRNotices/FRInfColl.htm. We also will 

make copies of the comments available 

for public review, including names and 

addresses of respondents, during regular 

business hours at our offices in 

Lakewood, Colorado. Upon request, we 

will withhold an individual 

respondent’s home address from the 

public record, as allowable by law. 

There also may be circumstances in 

which we would withhold a 

respondent’s identity, as allowable by 

law. If you request that we withhold 

your name and/or address, state your 

request prominently at the beginning of 

your comment. However, we will not 

consider anonymous comments. We 

will make all submissions from 

organizations or businesses, and from 

individuals identifying themselves as 

representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses, available 

for public inspection in their entirety.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to 36 CFR part 51, 

public notice is hereby given that the 

National Park Service proposes to award 

a temporary concession contract for 

continuation of visitor reservations and 

cabin rental in the Great Island cabin 

area on South Core Banks (Banks), Cape 

Lookout National Seashore and ferry 

service to and from the community of 

Davis, North Carolina to the Banks for 

a term not to exceed December 31, 2007. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

10256 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 44 / Wednesday, March 7, 2007 / Notices 

CFR 51.3. Following termination of the 

prior concession contract at Great Island 

Camps on December 31, 2004, the 

National Park Service awarded a 

temporary concession contract to Morris 

Marina Kabin Kamps and Ferry Service, 

Inc., on May 15, 2005, that expires on 

December 31, 2006. A new concession 

contract cannot be awarded in time to 

avoid the interruption of visitor services 

during the 2007 operating season. The 

National Park Service has taken all 

reasonable and necessary steps to 

consider alternatives to avoid 

interruption of visitor services, and has 

determined that this award is necessary 

to avoid interruption of visitor services. 

This action is issued pursuant to 36 

CFR 51.24(a). This is not a request for 

proposals and no prospectus is being 

issued at this time. The Director intends 

to issue a prospectus in 2007 to allow 

the competitive award of a long-term 

concession contract that will be 

effective prior to the 2008 season for 

visitor reservations and cabin rental in 

the Great Island cabin area on South 

Core Banks (Banks), Cape Lookout 

National Seashore and ferry service to 

and from the community of Davis, North 

Carolina to the Banks. You may be 

placed on a mailing list for receiving 

information regarding the prospectus by 

sending a written request to the above 

address.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Bureau of Reclamation 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

for Clean Water Coalition Systems 

Conveyance and Operations Program 

Lake Mead National Recreation Area, 

Clark County, NV; Notice of Availability 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to § 102(2)(C) of the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969 and the corresponding Council of 

Environmental Quality implementing 

regulations (40 CFR parts 1500–1508), 

the National Park Service and Bureau of 

Reclamation, as lead agencies for the 

Department of Interior, announce the 

availability of the Clean Water Coalition 

Systems Conveyance and Operations 

Program (SCOP) Final Environmental 

Impact Statement (Final EIS). The SCOP 

Final EIS completes the evaluation of 

potential environmental impacts 

associated with a proposed pipeline 

alternative, two additional pipeline 

alternatives, and the baseline No Action 

alternative (and also presents a Process 

Improvements option derived from the 

No Action Alternative). The purpose of 

implementing the proposal is to put into 

operation a treatment and conveyance 

system that will allow for flexible 

management of wastewater flow in the 

Las Vegas Valley, while maintaining 

water quality standards. Clark County, 

Nevada is one of the fastest growing 

counties in the U.S., with a projected 

population in the area of approximately 

3,130,000 by 2035. The quantity of 

effluent treated and discharged in the 

Las Vegas Valley will increase with the 

Valley populations. The treatment and 

conveyance facilities must 

accommodate the additional flows 

while continuing to meet current or 

future water quality standards for Las 

Vegas Wash and Bay, and Lake Mead. 

The Final EIS evaluates effects of the 

alternatives on both visitor experience 

and park resources including: surface 

water hydrology, groundwater, water 

quality, biological resources/endangered 

species, cultural resources, recreation, 

land use, air quality, noise, 

socioeconomics, and other appropriate 

resource issues identified during the 

public scoping phase. An impairment 

analysis was also completed by the 

National Park Service (NPS) for the 

portion of the proposed actions that 

would impinge upon this unit of the 

National Park System. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Copies of 

the Final EIS may be obtained by 

contacting the SCOP EIS Project 

Manager, PBS&J, 2270 Corporate Circle, 

Suite 100, Henderson, NV 89074 (or emailing to 

eis@cleanwatercoalition.com). The Final 

EIS will also be made available at public 

libraries in the following locations: 

Nevada: Boulder City Library, Las Vegas 

Public Library, Searchlight Library, 

Community College of Southern 

Nevada, Sahara West Library, Mesquite 

Library, University of Nevada-Las

Please note that all information 

received in support of preparing the EIS 

becomes part of the public record. Our 

practice is to make comments, including 

names, home addresses, home phone 

numbers, and e-mail addresses of 

respondents, available for public 

review. Before including your address, 

phone number, e-mail address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

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. 

Public Involvement and Other Agency 

Coordination: The NPS, along with the 

Bureau of Reclamation, began the 

conservation planning and 

environmental impact analysis process 

for SCOP in 2002. The Notice of Intent 

(NOI) to prepare an EIS was published 

in the Federal Register on July 26, 2002. 

In addition to the NOI, notices were 

published in local and regional 

newspapers announcing public scoping 

meetings, which were held in August of 

2002 in Las Vegas and Henderson, NV, 

Kingman and Phoenix, AZ, and San 

Diego and Palm Springs, CA. Postcards 

including a brief description of the 

proposed project and the locations and 

dates of the public meetings were 

mailed to all interested parties in 

Nevada, Arizona, and California. The 

Draft EIS was released for public review 

(and also distributed to the area libraries 

listed above) in late September 2005; the 

EPA’s announcement of availability of 

the Draft EIS was noticed in the Federal 

Register on October 7, 2005. Nine 

public comment meetings were held 

during October, 2005 in the same cities 

in which the initial public scoping 

sessions were conducted. The public 

comment period on the Draft EIS ended 

December 6, 2005. Over 500 oral and 

written comments were received. The 

Final EIS contains responses to all 

comments received and incorporates 

additional information obtained during 

the review period. 

Implementation of SCOP will require 

a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers, which regulates construction 

and dredging of navigable waters of the
