Abstract: The Agricultural Marketing 

Act of 1946 (7 U.S.C. 1621–1627), as 

amended, authorizes the Secretary of 

Agriculture to provide timely 

nationwide coverage of prices, supply, 

demands, trends, movement, and other 

pertinent information affecting the 

trading of livestock, poultry, meat, eggs, 

grain, and their related products, as well 

as locally produced and marketed 

products. The market reports compiled 

and disseminated by the Livestock, 

Poultry, and Grain Market News 

(LPGMN) Division provide current, 

unbiased, and factual information to all 

stakeholders in the U.S. agricultural 

industry. Market News reports assist 

producers, processors, wholesalers, 

retailers, and others to make informed 

production, purchasing, and sales 

decisions. LPGMN reports also promote 

orderly marketing by placing buyers and 

sellers on a more equal negotiation 

basis. 

LPGMN reporters communicate with 

buyers and sellers of livestock, poultry, 

meat, eggs, grain, local products, and 

their respective commodities on a daily 

basis to accomplish the Division’s 

mission. This communication and 

information gathering is accomplished 

through the use of telephone 

conversations, facsimile transmissions, 

face-to-face meetings, and email 

messages. The information provided by 

respondents initiates Market News 

reporting, which must be timely, 

accurate, unbiased, and continuous if it 

is to be meaningful to the industry. 

AMS collects information on price, 

supply, demand, trends, movement, and 

other information of livestock, poultry, 

meat, grain, eggs, local products, and 

their respective commodities. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average .058 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit and farms. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

3,220. 

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 

299,800. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 93. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 17,970. 

Comments are invited on: (1) 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; (2) 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; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, including 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

become a matter of public record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose and Need 

The primary purpose of the watershed 

plan is to provide flood protection and 

damage reduction to meet current and 

future water demands in CCWA’s 

service area and a rural water supply for 

180,000 acres, providing 15,662 acrefeet of surface water. Watershed 

planning is authorized under the 

Watershed Protection and Flood 

Prevention Act of 1954 (Pub. L. 83–566), 

as amended, and the Flood Control Act 

of 1944 (Pub. L. 78–534). 

The dominant land use of the 

watershed for the CCWA structure was 

historically a combination of agriculture 

and woodlands which generally remains 

unchanged today after more than 50 

years, although some development has 

occurred downstream of the structure. 

The proposed Lower Little Tallapoosa 

River 25A project will address 

evaluating alternatives that will 

maintain or improve the currently 

provided level of flood protection and 

increase and maintain safe and reliable 

supplies of water for agriculture 

management and the local community. 

It will also increase water conservation 

and improve water delivery efficiency 

in the Lower Little Tallapoosa 

Watershed, which has been in use for 

nearly 50 years. 

Development within the downstream 

breach zone has resulted in a change in 

classification for the Lower Little 

Tallapoosa River 25A to a high hazard 

structure. Due to changes in evaluation 

criteria, the dam does not meet current 

safety and performance standards for 

the integrity, stability, or capacity of a 

high hazard structure. Additionally, the 

current watershed structure will reach 

the end of its original 50-year design life 

in 2024 and needs to be brought into 

compliance with modern dam safety 

criteria including the regulations under 

the Georgia Rules for Safe Dams and 

NRCS TR–60 design criteria. 

To meet the purpose of flood 

protection for the Lower Little 

Tallapoosa Watershed, the existing 

structures will be replaced with a new 

multipurpose structure to provide flood 

control and agriculture water 

management. A Draft Supplemental 

Watershed Plan and Environmental 

Assessment (EA) was prepared in 2021, 

which investigated and studied possible 

solutions to address flood protection 

and agricultural water management in 

the Lower Little Tallapoosa Watershed. 

As a result of the new information 

obtained during the EA process, the 

level of analysis this watershed project 

requires is more extensive than initially 

anticipated. Estimated Federal funds 

required for the construction of the 

proposed action may exceed $25 million 

and the proposed action will, therefore, 

require congressional approval per the 

2018 Agriculture Appropriations Act 

amended funding threshold. In 

accordance with 7 CFR 650.7(a)(2), an 

EIS is required for projects requiring 

congressional approval. 

Preliminary Proposed Action and 

Alternatives 

The objective of the EIS is to 

formulate and evaluate alternatives for 

flood prevention and agricultural water 

management in the Carroll County 

Water Authority service area. The EIS is 

expected to evaluate two alternatives: 

one action alternative and one no action 

alternative. The alternatives that may be 

considered for detailed analysis include: 

Alternative 1—Proposed Action— 

Construction of a new watershed dam: 

The Lower Little Tallapoosa Watershed 

Structure No. 25A will be replaced with 

a new multipurpose structure to 

maintain or improve the currently 

provided levels of flood control and 

provide agricultural water management. 

This alternative would construct a new 

earthen embankment with a maximum 

height of approximately 120 ft. The 

reservoir area at normal pool will be 401 

acres with a total storage volume of 5.1 

billion gallons (at the top of dam). The 

structure will supply up to 6 million 

gallons per day (MGD) of raw water to 

the Carroll County Water Authority’s 

service area. Inflows to the dam and 

reservoir will be supplemented by 

pumping water from the Little 

Tallapoosa River. Water will be 

withdrawn from the Little Tallapoosa 

River (in compliance with the CCWA 

withdrawal permits) 0.5 miles 

downstream of its crossing at 

Reavesville Road and pumped to the 

reservoir via a raw water pipeline. The 

pipeline goes over approximately 9 

miles primarily along road right of ways 

to the reservoir. Raw water will be 

pumped to a new water treatment plant 

adjacent to the reservoir. 

Alternative 2—No Action: Taking no 

action would consist of measures 

carried out if no Federal action or 

funding were provided. If the existing 

structure continues to operate in its 

current condition, it would be limited in 

its withdrawal capacity and will not be 

capable of meeting the average daily 

water supply demand for the CCWA’s 

service area. The dam and spillway do 

not meet current requirements for high 

hazard potential dams, and as such pose 

a threat to downstream life and property 

if a significant hydrologic event occurs. 

The current auxiliary spillway does not 

meet the current criteria for capacity 

and does not have the required erosion 

resistance and integrity and could 

experience significant damage or failure 

and breach in a storm event. The No 

Action Alternative will not meet the 

Lower Little Tallapoosa River 25A 

project’s purpose and will serve as the 

baseline for comparison with the action 

alternatives. 

Summary of Expected Impacts 

As mentioned above, the estimated 

Federal contribution to construction 

cost will exceed $25 million. This EIS 

will be prepared as required by section 

102(2)(C) of the National Environmental 

Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA); the Council 

on Environmental Quality Regulations 

(40 CFR parts 1500–1508); and NRCS 

regulations that implement NEPA in 7 

CFR part 650. 

Resource concerns for scoping were 

identified and categorized as relevant or 

not relevant to the proposed action. 

CCWA and NRCS evaluated the current 

Lower Little Tallapoosa Watershed 

Structure No. 25A infrastructure along 

with relevant resource concerns for each 

proposed solution. 

Environmental resources in the Lower 

Little Tallapoosa River 25A project area 

consist of the natural and human-made 

environment. Resource concerns to be

Public Safety; Socioeconomics and 

Environmental Justice; Water Resources; 

Vegetation and Invasive and Non-native 

Plant Species; Wetlands and Riparian 

Areas; Fish and Wildlife and Fish 

Habitat; and Special Status Species and 

Migratory Bird Treaty Act Species. 

Anticipated Permits and Authorizations 

The following permits and 

authorizations are anticipated to be 

required: 

• Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 

Permit. Implementation of the proposed 

Federal action would require a CWA 

section 404 permit from the U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers. CCWA received a 

section 404 permit for the construction 

of the Indian Creek Reservoir on June 

17, 2021. 

• CWA Section 401 Permit. The 

Lower Little Tallapoosa River 25A 

project would also require water quality 

certification under CWA section 401 

and permitting under CWA section 402 

(National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System Permit). CCWA 

received a section 401 certification on 

August 5, 2020. 

• Dam Safety and Floodplain Permit. 

Local dam safety and floodplain permits 

will be required for construction and 

operation of the dam. 

• Surface Water Withdrawal Permit. 

CCWA received the required surface 

water withdrawal permits on November 

2, 2021. 

• Georgia Department of 

Transportation Right of Way 

Encroachment Permit. The proposed 

action will require a raw water pipeline 

that may impact State Highway 100 and 

166. 

• NHPA Section 106 consultation. 

Consultation with the Georgia Historic 

Preservation Division, Tribal Nations, 

and interested parties will be conducted 

as required by the National Historic 

Preservation Act of 1966 (as amended) 

(16 U.S.C. 470f). 

Schedule of Decision-Making Process 

A Draft EIS (DEIS) will be prepared 

and circulated for review and comment 

by agencies, Tribes, consulting parties, 

and the public for at least 45 days as 

required by 40 CFR 1503.1, 1502.20, 

1506.11, and 1502.17, and 7 CFR 

650.13. The DEIS is anticipated to be 

published in the Federal Register, 

approximately 6 months after 

publication of this NOI. A Final EIS is 

anticipated to be published within 6 

months of completion of the public 

comment period for the DEIS. 

NRCS will decide whether to 

implement one of the alternatives as 

evaluated in the EIS. A Record of 

Decision will be completed after the 

required 30-day waiting period and will 

be publicly available. The responsible 

Federal official and decision maker for 

the NRCS is the Georgie NRCS State 

Conservationist. 

Public Scoping Process 

CCWA held 7 public meetings 

between 2007 and 2017 as part of the 

EA process for its section 404 permit 

and 5 additional meetings with NRCS as 

part of the scoping process on May 23, 

2018; July 16, 2018; March 28, 2019; 

August 1, 2019, and January 13, 2023. 

An additional public scoping meeting 

was held on May 1, 2023. Comments 

received, including the names and 

addresses of those who comment, will 

be part of the public record. Comments 

submitted anonymously will be 

accepted and considered. Scoping 

meeting presentation materials are 

available on the watershed project 

website: www.indiancreekreservoir.com. 

The date, time, and location for any 

future meetings will be announced on 

the Lower Little Tallapoosa River 25A 

project website. 

Federal, State, Tribal, local agencies 

and representatives, and the public were 

invited to take part in this watershed 

plan scoping period through which 

coordination, sought input on issues of 

economic, environmental, cultural, and 

social importance in the watershed. 

CCWA and NRCS organized the public 

scoping meeting to provide an 

opportunity to review and evaluate the 

Lower Little Tallapoosa River 25A 

project alternatives, express concern or 

support, and gain further information 

regarding the Lower Little Tallapoosa 

River 25A project. To determine the 

most viable alternatives to carry forward 

to the EIS, CCWA used input obtained 

during public scoping discussions to 

focus on relevant resource concerns and 

issues and eliminated those that were 

not relevant from further detailed study. 

Identification of Potential Alternatives, 

Information, and Analyses 

NRCS invites agencies, Tribes, 

consulting parties, and individuals that 

have special expertise, legal 

jurisdiction, or interest in the Lower 

Little Tallapoosa River 25A project to 

provide comments concerning the scope 

of the analysis and identification of 

potential alternatives, information, and 

analyses relevant to the Proposed 

Action in writing. 

NRCS will coordinate the scoping 

process to correspond with any required 

NHPA processes, as allowed in 36 CFR 

800.2(d)(3) and 800.8 (54 U.S.C. 

306108). The information about historic 

and cultural resources within the area 

potentially affected by the proposed 

Lower Little Tallapoosa River 25A 

project will assist NRCS in identifying 

and evaluating impacts to such 

resources in the context of both NEPA 

and NHPA. 

NRCS will consult with Native 

American tribes on a government-togovernment basis in accordance with 36 

CFR 800.2 and 800.3, Executive Order 

13175, and other policies. Tribal 

concerns, including impacts on Indian 

trust assets and potential impacts to 

cultural resources and historic 

properties, will be given due 

consideration.

Initiation and Preliminary Results of 

CCR 

Pursuant to section 751(b)(1)(A) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.216(d), Commerce 

will conduct a CCR upon receipt of 

information concerning, or a request 

from, an interested party for a review of 

an AD order which shows changed 

circumstances sufficient to warrant a 

review of the order. The information 

submitted by HA Food supporting its 

claim that it is the successor-in-interest 

to Highland Agro demonstrates changed 

circumstances sufficient to warrant such 

a review.5 Therefore, in accordance with 

section 751(b)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.216(d), we are initiating a CCR 

based upon the information contained 

in HA Food’s submission. 

Section 351.221(c)(3)(ii) of 

Commerce’s regulations permits 

Commerce to combine the notice of 

initiation of a CCR and the notice of 

preliminary results if Commerce 

concludes that expedited action is 

warranted.6 In this instance, because the 

record contains information necessary 

to make a preliminary finding, we find 

that expedited action is warranted and 

have combined the notice of initiation 

and the notice of preliminary results.7

In this CCR, pursuant to section 

751(b) of the Act, Commerce conducted 

a successor-in-interest analysis. In 

making a successor-in-interest 

determination, Commerce examines 

several factors, including, but not 

limited to, changes in the following: (1) 

management; (2) production facilities; 

(3) supplier relationships; and (4)
