DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 10934–000] 

William B. Ruger, Jr.; Notice of 

Existing Licensee’s Failure To File 

Notice of Intent To File a Subsequent 

License Application 

By April 30, 2016, William B. Ruger, 

Jr., the existing licensee for the Sugar 

River II Project No. 10934 was required 

to file a notice of intent to file an 

application for a subsequent license. 

The existing license for Project No. 

10934 expires on April 30, 2021. 

The 200-kilowatt (kW) project is 

located on the Sugar River in Sullivan 

County, New Hampshire. No federal 

lands are affected. 

The principal project works consist 

of: (1) A 44-foot-long, 10-foot-high 

concrete dam; (2) a 1.4-acre 

impoundment; (3) a rectangular intake; 

(4) a 650-foot-long, 7-foot diameter steel 

penstock; (5) a powerhouse containing 

one 200-kW turbine-generator unit; (6) a 

75-foot-long transmission line; and (7) 

appurtenant facilities. 

Pursuant to section 16.19(b) of the 

Commission’s regulations, an existing 

licensee with a minor license or a 

license for a minor part of a 

hydroelectric project must file a notice 

of intent pursuant to section 16.6(b). 

Pursuant to section 16.6(b) of the 

Commission’s regulations, in order to 

notify the Commission whether or not a 

licensee intends to file an application

contains an unequivocal statement of 

the licensee’s intention to file or not to 

file an application for a new license. 

William B. Ruger, Jr. has not filed a 

notice of intent to file an application for 

a subsequent license for this project. 

Pursuant to section 16.23(b) of the 

Commission’s regulations, an existing 

licensee of a water power project that 

fails to file a notice of intent pursuant 

to section 16.6(b) shall be deemed to 

have filed a notice of intent indicating 

that it does not intend to file an 

application for subsequent license. 

Pursuant to section 16.20 of the

National Wetland Condition 

Assessment 2011 Final Report 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of EPA’s report on the 

National Wetland Condition Assessment 

(NWCA) 2011. The NWCA describes the 

results of the nationwide probabilistic 

survey that was conducted in the spring 

and summer of 2011 by EPA and its 

state and tribal partners. The NWCA 

2011 report includes information on 

how the survey was implemented, what 

the findings are on a national and 

ecoregional scale, and future actions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

The National Wetland Condition 

Assessment 2011: A Collaborative 

Survey of the Nation’s Wetlands is the 

first report to use a statistically-valid 

random design to assess the condition of 

the nation’s wetlands. It is one of a 

series of National Aquatic Resource 

Surveys (NARS), a national-scale 

monitoring program designed to 

produce statistically-valid assessments 

that answer critical questions about the 

condition of waters in the United States. 

The key goals of the NWCA are to: (1) 

Describe the ecological condition of the 

nation’s wetlands and stressors 

commonly associated with poor 

condition; (2) collaborate with states 

and tribes in developing complementary 

monitoring tools, analytical approaches, 

and data management technology to aid 

wetland protection and restoration 

program, and (3) advance the science of 

wetland monitoring and assessment to 

support wetland management needs. 

Using a statistical survey design, 967 

sites were selected at random to 

represent the condition of wetlands 

across the lower 48 states. Both tidal 

and nontidal wetlands were targeted for 

sampling. 

The NWCA finds less than half of 

wetland area nationally (48%) is in good 

condition; 32% is in poor condition and

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 94 / Monday, May 16, 2016 / Notices 30301 

the remaining 20% is in fair condition 

based on assessments of the plant 

community. Physical disturbances to 

wetlands and their surrounding habitat 

such as compacted soil, ditching, or 

removal of plants, are the most 

widespread problems across the 

country. Approximately a quarter of 

wetland area nationally has high stress 

levels for surface hardening, vegetation 

removal, and ditching. The report has 

undergone public, peer, state/tribal, and 

EPA review.

2011 report and other related

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Information About IRIS 

EPA’s IRIS Program is a human health 

assessment program that evaluates 

quantitative and qualitative risk 

information on effects that may result 

from exposure to chemicals found in the 

environment. Through the IRIS 

Program, EPA provides the highest 

quality science-based human health 

assessments to support the Agency’s 

regulatory activities and decisions to 

protect public health. The IRIS database 

contains information on chemicals that 

can be used to support the first two 

steps (hazard identification and doseresponse evaluation) of the human 

health risk assessment process. When 

supported by available data, IRIS 

provides health effects information and 

toxicity values for health effects 

(including cancer and effects other than 

cancer). Government and others 

combine IRIS toxicity values with 

exposure information to characterize 

public health risks of chemicals; this 

information is then used to support risk 

management decisions designed to 

protect public health.
