SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Advanced Meat Recovery. 

OMB Number: 0583–0130. 

Expiration Date of Approval: 10/31/ 

2007. 

Type of Request: Revision of an 

approved information collection. 

Abstract: FSIS has been delegated the 

authority to exercise the functions of the 

Secretary as specified in the Federal 

Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 

601, et seq.). The statute provides that 

FSIS is to protect the public by verifying 

that meat products are safe, wholesome, 

unadulterated, and properly labeled and 

packaged. 

FSIS is requesting revision of an 

approved information collection 

addressing paperwork and 

recordkeeping requirements regarding 

the regulatory requirements associated 

with the production of meat from 

Advanced Meat Recovery (AMR) 

systems. The Agency is revising the 

AMR information collection based on its 

most recent plant data, which support a 

finding of fewer total burden hours than 

there are in the approved information 

collection. 

FSIS requires that official 

establishments that produce meat from 

AMR systems (1) ensure that the bones 

used for the systems do not contain 

brain, trigeminal ganglia, or spinal cord 

and are from animals younger than 30 

months of age; (2) test for calcium, iron, 

spinal cord, and dorsal root ganglia 

(DRG); (3) document their testing 

protocols; (4) handle product in a 

manner that does not cause product to 

be misbranded or adulterated; and (5) 

maintain records of their documentation 

and of their test results (9 CFR 318.24). 

FSIS has made the following 

estimates based upon an information 

collection assessment: 

Estimate of Burden: FSIS estimates 

that it will take respondents an average 

of a half hour per response. 

Respondents: Official establishments 

that produce meat from AMR systems. 

Estimated No. of Respondents: 56. 

Estimated No. of Annual Responses 

per Respondent: 900. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 25,209 hours. 

Copies of this information collection 

assessment can be obtained from John 

O’Connell, Paperwork Reduction Act 

Coordinator, Food Safety and Inspection 

Service, USDA, 300 12th Street, SW., 

Room 112, Washington, DC 20250–

3700, (202) 720–5627, (202)720–0345. 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of FSIS’ functions, including whether 

the information will have practical 

utility; (b) the accuracy of FSIS’ estimate 

of the burden of the proposed collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and,(d) ways to 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. Comments may 

also be sent to the Desk Officer for 

Agriculture, Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, Washington, 

DC 20253. 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

also become a matter of public record.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Forest Service 

Cibola National Forest; New Mexico; 

Tajique Watershed Restoration Project 

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Withdrawal of an environmental 

impact statement. 

SUMMARY: On August 20, 2004, the 

Federal Register published a Notice of 

Intent (NOI) to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for the Tajique Watershed Restoration 

Project on the Cibola National Forest, 

Mountainair Ranger District (69 FR 

51626–51628). The Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) published the 

notice of availability of the Draft EIS in 

the Federal Register on February 4, 

2006 (70 FR 6004). The EPA published 

a notice of availability for the Final EIS 

in the Federal Register on October 21, 

2005 (69 FR 61287) and an amended 

notice of availability of the Final EIS on 

November 4, 2005 (70 FR 67166). The 

project had been developed in 

accordance with Title I of the Healthy 

Forests Restoration Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 

108–148). After the distribution of the 

Final EIS, the Forest Service received an 

objection during the pre-decisional 

administrative review period on the 

project. There was no resolution to the 

objection and the Forest Service has 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 115 / Friday, June 15, 2007 / Notices 33195 

made no decision to implement any 

alternative analyzed in the document. 

The Department of Agriculture, Forest 

Service is issuing this notice to advise 

the public that we are withdrawing the 

Tajique Watershed Restoration EIS and 

will not issue a Record of Decision. The 

Forest Service plans to reassess the 

proposal and determine whether or not 

to propose any activities within the 

Tajique project area. The NEPA process 

would be re-initiated for any new 

proposed actions.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Forest Service 

Settlement Land Transfers; Pueblo de 

San Ildefonso and Los Alamos County, 

Santa Fe National Forest, Los Alamos 

County/Rio Arriba/Santa Fe County, 

NM 

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an 

environmental impact statement. 

SUMMARY: The US Forest Service (FS) 

will prepare an environmental impact 

statement (EIS) on a proposed action 

that implements certain aspects of the 

Pueblo de San Ildefonso Claims 

Settlement Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109–

186). Portions of the Act considered in 

this analysis include mandated transfer 

of certain National Forest System lands 

to the Pueblo de San Ildefonso (about 

7,058 acres), the Pueblo of Santa Clara 

(about 740 acres), and Los Alamos 

County (about 631 acres). Lands would 

be conveyed in exchange for an 

appraised monetary value. The 

legislation also requires the Forest 

Service to offer for purchase six parcels 

of National Forest System lands to Los 

Alamos County near the community 

(totaling about 324 acres), and to 

reconstruct Forest Road (FR) 416v to a 

high-clearance, Level 2 standard. 

Although these proposed actions have 

been mandated by the Act, the Santa Fe 

National Forest will conduct a National 

Environmental Policy Act 

environmental analysis to disclose the 

impacts of these actions, and to fully 

describe any discretionary actions that 

may also be included as part of the land 

transfers called for in the Act. However, 

under the Act, discretion is limited. A 

map of the area is located at the 

following Forest Service Web site: 

http://www.fs.fed.us/r3/sfe/projects/. 

DATES: Comments concerning the 

project must be received by July 10, 

2007. The draft environmental impact 

statement is expected in September 

2007 and the final environmental 

impact statement is expected in 

November 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: On September 27, 2006, 

the Pueblo de San Ildefonso Claims 

Settlement Act of 2005 was signed into 

law. The purpose of the Act is to resolve 

title claims asserted against the United 

States by the San Ildefonso Pueblo 

under the proceedings of the Indian 

Claims Act (Docket No. 354). Other 

purposes of the Act related to this 

analysis are (1) The authorization of the 

Pueblo to acquire and the Forest Service 

to convey National Forest System lands 

as identified in the San Ildefonso 

Settlement Agreement (Settlement Area 

Lands), and (2) the authorization of the 

Secretary of Agriculture to convey other 

lands out of the National Forest System 

in order to comply with an inter-Pueblo 

agreement and the Los Alamos 

Agreement, which has been 

incorporated by the San Ildefonso 

Settlement Agreement and ratified by 

the Act. These additional lands include 

the Water System Lands, the Northern 

Tier Lands (to be acquired by the Santa 

Clara Pueblo), and the Los Alamos 

Townsite Lands. 

The Act provides that the Settlement 

Area Land and the Northern Tier Lands 

shall be held by the Secretary of the 

Interior in trust for the benefit of each 

Pueblo. Lands acquired by Los Alamos 

County as Water System Lands become 

San Ildefonso Pueblo tribal lands if they 

were no longer needed for Los Alamos 

County’s water facilities. Most of the 

Los Alamos Townsite lands are 

currently used for Los Alamos County 

water facilities, including Los Alamos 

Reservoir and dam, as well as water 

tanks. Except for the restrictions and 

reservations identified above, the 

Secretary of Agriculture does not 

propose to place any restrictions on 

future use of the Townsite lands, 

Settlement Area lands, Water System 

lands, or Northern Tier lands. 

The Act also calls for reservation of a 

number of road easements to assure 

public access to lands that would 

otherwise be inaccessible to motorized 

vehicles once the conveyance takes 

place. For most of these reservations, 

existing roads provide adequate access 

and so only an administrative action is 

expected. However, as part of the Los 

Alamos Agreement, road improvement 

work must be completed to improve 

public access to the National Forest 

System lands adjoining the Settlement 

Area Lands prior to conveyance. The 

Act allows for reconstruction of FR 416v 

to a high clearance, Level 2 to provide 

this access. 

Even though the Act requires these 

actions and so discretion is limited, the 

Santa Fe National Forest will study and 

disclose in an environmental impact 

statement the effects of the actions 

described in the Act that relate to the 

Secretary of Agriculture’s authority to 

transfer lands and reconstruct Road 

416v. Other actions to be undertaken by 

the Department of Interior, the Pueblo 

de San Ildefonso, or Los Alamos have 

not been included in the scope of this 

proposal because they can be 

accomplished separately. A map of the 

area is located at the following Forest 

Service Web site: http://www.fs.fed.us/ 

r3/sfe/projects/.
