SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section

3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of

1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires

that the Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) provide interested

Federal agencies and the public an early

opportunity to comment on information

collection requests. OMB may amend or

waive the requirement for public

consultation to the extent that public

participation in the approval process

would defeat the purpose of the

information collection, violate State or

Federal law, or substantially interfere

with any agency’s ability to perform its

statutory obligations. The Deputy Chief

Information Officer, Office of the Chief

Information Officer, publishes this

notice containing proposed information

collection requests prior to submission

of these requests to OMB. Each

proposed information collection,

grouped by office, contains the

following: (1) Type of review requested,

e.g., new, revision, extension, existing

or reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary

of the collection; (4) Description of the

need for, and proposed use of, the

information; (5) Respondents and

frequency of collection; and (6)

Reporting and/or Recordkeeping

burden. OMB invites public comment at

the address specified above. Copies of

the requests are available from Patrick J.

Sherrill at the address specified above.

The Department of Education is

especially interested in public comment

addressing the following issues: (1) is

this collection necessary to the proper

functions of the Department, (2) will

this information be processed and used

in a timely manner, (3) is the estimate

of burden accurate, (4) how might the

Department enhance the quality, utility,

and clarity of the information to be

collected, and (5) how might the

Department minimize the burden of this

collection on the respondents, including

through the use of information

technology.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Notice of Wetland Involvement for

Installation of Air Monitoring Station

No. 28 at the Fernald Environmental

Management Project (FEMP)

AGENCY: Department of Energy (DOE),

Fernald Environmental Management

Project.

ACTION: Notice of wetland involvement.

SUMMARY: This is to give notice of DOE’s

proposal to install an air monitoring

station along with construction of an

access road, to comply with provisions

of the Clean Air Act, at the Fernald

Environmental Management Project

(FEMP), located about 18 miles

northwest of downtown Cincinnati,

Ohio. This activity will involve a

wetland in Butler County, Ohio. In

accordance with 10 CFR 1022, DOE will

prepare a Wetland Assessment and

conduct the proposed action in such a

manner to avoid or minimize potential

harm to or within the affected wetland

area.

DATES: Written comments must be

received by the DOE at the following

address on or before October 29, 1997.

ADDRESSES: For further information on

this proposed action, including a site

map and/or a copy of the Wetlands

Assessment, contact: Mr. David R.

Kozlowski, Associate Director, Office of

Safety and Assessment, U.S. Department

of Energy, Fernald Environmental

Management Project Office, P.O. Box

538705, Cincinnati, Ohio 45253–8705;

Phone: (513) 648–3187; Facsimile: (513)

648–3077.

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

further information on general DOE

wetland and floodplain environmental

review requirements, contact: Ms. Carol

M. Borgstrom, Director, Office of NEPA

Policy and Assistance, EH–42, U.S.

Department of Energy, 1000

Independence Avenue, SW.,

Washington, D.C. 20585; Phone: (202)

586–4600 or 1–800–472–2756.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

proposed activity would be required to

comply with the Clean Air Act

provisions for ambient air monitoring.

Included is the construction of an access

road, installation of electrical power,

and placement of a step unit to mount

the air monitor. Approximately 0.3 acres

of wetlands would be affected. Wetland

impacts would occur from installation

of the gravel access road over the

existing wetland, resulting in physical

disturbance and filling of wetland areas.

Best management practices would be

utilized to minimize the amount of

wetland area impacted. For example,

the access road would be routed to

impose the least impact to the wetland,

erosion controls such as silt fences

would be utilized during construction of

the access road in order to minimize

sediment deposition into the wetland,

and culverts would be placed beneath

the access road to allow continued

overland flow to the wetland.
