**[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 for new license, the licensee must file with the Commission a letter that 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 Commission’s regulations, applications for subsequent license (except from the existing licensee which is prohibited from filing) must be filed with the Commission at least 24 months prior to the expiration of the existing license. Applications for license for this project must be filed by April 30, 2019. Questions concerning this notice should be directed to Steve Kartalia at (202)
502–6131 or Stephen.Kartalia@ferc.gov

**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.

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


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

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. A. How can I get copies of the NWCA 2011 report and other related information?

**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 twosteps (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.
