information will allow Reclamation to

meet the requirements of the

Government Performance and Results

Act (GPRA), financial reporting

requirements, and in pursuit of

Reclamation’s mission to manage,

develop, and protect water and related

resources in an environmentally and

economically sound manner in the

interest of the American people.

Collection of Reclamation-wide

recreation and concessionaire

information supports specific

information required by the Land and

Water Conservation Fund Act and the

bureau’s ability to accomplish 3 mission

objectives, and 4 of 16 strategies

identified in the multi year GPRA-based

strategic plan.

The proposed three part Recreation

Use Data Report is a reinstatement, with

a significant reduction of annually

required or updated information

collection as compared to Reclamation’s

former annual Recreation and Wildlife

Summary—OMB Clearance 1006–0002,

which expired December 31, 1992.

Collected information will be used by

Reclamation and its region and area

offices to fulfill annual assessments,

requirements, and budget projects.

Collected information will permit

relevant program assessments of

Reclamation managed or its recreation

managing partners and/or

concessionaires for the purpose of

protecting the public interest and the

resources managed by Reclamation. In

addition, the collection information will

fulfill congressional and financial

reporting requirements.

Collection of Information

Title: Recreation Use Data Report

Part I. Recreation Facilities Report

Part II. Recreation Use Report

Part III. Concession Data Report

Type of Review: Recreation Use Data

Report—Reinstated, with change.

Abstract: Collect Reclamation-wide

recreation and concession information

in support of existing public laws,

financial reporting requirements, and

Reclamation’s mission. The information

will further Reclamation’s ability to

evaluate program and management

effectiveness of existing recreation and

concessionaire resources and facilities

and validate effective public use of

managed recreation resources, located

on Reclamation project lands in the 17

Western States. In addition and through

use of the collection information,

Reclamation will develop a set of

recreation and concession management

practices for comparison purposes

against other known best business

practices. Information collection

primarily affects other Federal agencies,

State, local or tribal governments or

agencies who manage Reclamation’s

recreation resources and facilities and

for-profit concessionaires, subconcessionaires and nonprofit

organizations located on Reclamation

lands with associated recreation

services. A portion of the information

collected may include individual or

group users of these managed recreation

resources or concessionaires.

Frequency: Annual reporting.

Average Time per Response: 2 hours.

Part I. Recreation Facilities Report

(40-minutes, by Reclamation and/or

Managing Partners).

Part II. Recreation Use Report (40-

minutes, by Reclamation and/or

Managing Partners).

Part III. Concessions Data Report (40-

minutes, by Reclamation and/or

Managing Partners with

concessionaire’s information).

Estimated Number of Respondents:

535 (225 concessionaires, 310 Federal

and nonfederal managing partners).

Estimated Burden Hours: 1070 hours.

Written comments are solicited to (1)

evaluate whether the proposed

information collection is essentially for

the assessment of Reclamation’s

performance, including whether the

information will have practical utility;

(2) evaluate the accuracy of

Reclamation’s estimate of the burden of

the proposed information collection,

including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used; (3)

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity

of the information to be collected; and,

(4) minimize the burden of the

information collection on those who are

to respond, including through the use of

appropriate automated, electronic,

mechanical, or other technological

collection techniques or forms of

information technology.

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, U.S.

ACTION: Notice of availability of final

environmental impact statement (FEIS)

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c)

of the National Environmental Policy

Act (NEPA) of 1969 (as amended), the

Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) as

lead agency has prepared a FEIS and

Planning Report for the American River

Water Resources Investigation (ARWRI),

California.

The purpose of the FEIS is to address

the environmental impacts of meeting

the future water needs for the local area

through the year 2030. The FEIS

describes the environmental effects of

three alternatives, including no action.

The proposed alternatives provide a

means of action through which the

water needs of the five-county area (El

Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, San

Joaquin, and Sutter) are met. The

proposed alternatives exercise the

provisions of several Federal laws as

applicable to Reclamation. The FEIS

also incorporates the Draft

Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS)

and includes all comments received on

the DEIS and responses to those

comments.

DATES: No decision will be made on the

proposed action until 30 days after

release of the FEIS. After the 30-day

waiting period, Reclamation will

complete a Record of Decision which

states the action that will be

implemented and which discusses all

factors leading to the decision.
