BILLING CODE 7020–02–P 

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree 

Under the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation and Liability Act 

Notice is hereby given that on 

February 23, 2012, a proposed Consent 

Decree in United States of America v. 

Blacksburg Country Club, Inc., Case No. 

7:12-cv-00087, D.J. Ref. 90–11–3–09770, 

was lodged with the United States 

District Court for the Western District of 

Virginia. 

In this action the United States, acting 

at the request of the United States 

Department of the Interior (‘‘DOI’’), 

acting through the Fish and Wildlife 

Service (‘‘FWS’’), alleged claims against 

the Defendant Blacksburg Country Club, 

Inc. (‘‘BCC’’). These claims were for 

natural resource damages pursuant to 

the Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., 

with respect to a release of hazardous 

substances allegedly caused by BCC at 

its golf course in Blacksburg, Virginia 

into the North Fork of the Roanoke 

River. This release, which occurred on 

or about July 9, 2007, resulted in injury 

and/or damage to natural resources 

under the trusteeship of DOI and FWS: 

Namely, the death of an estimated 169 

Roanoke logperch, a federally 

endangered species. DOI incurred 

expenses responding to the release and 

assessing the injury to natural resources 

that it caused. 

Under the proposed consent decree, 

BCC has obligated itself to implement a 

Restoration Plan, described at Appendix 

A of the Consent Decree, consisting of 

six (6) separate projects to restore 

reaches of the North Fork of the 

Roanoke River in the vicinity of the golf 

course. It has also agreed to pay FWS’ 

natural resource damage assessment 

costs of $18,964.34, and will pay future 

travel costs incurred by certain FWS 

personnel in monitoring 

implementation of the Restoration Plan. 

The Department of Justice will receive 

for a period of thirty (30) days from the 

date of this publication comments 

relating to the Consent Decree. 

Comments should be addressed to the 

Assistant Attorney General, 

Environment and Natural Resources 

Division, and either emailed to 

pubcomment-ees.enrd@usdoj.gov or 

mailed to P.O. Box 7611, U.S. 

Department of Justice, Washington, DC 

20044–7611, and should refer to United 

States of America v. Blacksburg Country 

Club, Inc., Case No. 7:12–cv–00087, D.J. 

Ref. 90–11–3–09770. 

During the public comment period, 

the Consent Decree may be examined on 

the following Web site, http:// 

www.usdoj.gov/enrd/ 

Consent_Decrees.html, maintained by 

the Department of Justice. A copy of the

the mining community, that reporting is 

minimal, collection instruments are 

clearly understood, and that the impact 

of collection requirements can be 

properly assessed. 

The Mine Safety and Health 

Administration is soliciting comments 

concerning the proposed extension of an 

existing information collection, OMB 

Control Number 1219–0131, Part 46— 

Training, Training Plans, and Records. 

OMB last approved this information 

collection request (ICR) on March 10,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The requirements related to OMB 

1219–0131 apply at shell dredging, 

sand, gravel, surface stone, surface clay, 

colloidal phosphate, and surface 

limestone mines. The requirements are 

intended to help protect miners by 

ensuring that they are trained about the 

hazards to which they can be exposed 

as a result of their employment at these 

operations. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments 

The Mine Safety and Health 

Administration (MSHA) is soliciting 

comments concerning the proposed 

extension of the information collection 

related to training, training plans, and 

records at these operations. MSHA is 

particularly interested in comments 

that: 

• Evaluate whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of MSHA’s functions, 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 56 / Thursday, March 22, 2012 / Notices 16863 

including whether the information has 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of MSHA’s 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

• Suggest methods to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and 

• Address the use of appropriate 

automated, electronic, mechanical, or 

other technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology (e.g., permitting electronic 

submissions of responses, to minimize 

the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond). 

The public may examine publicly 

available documents, including the 

public comment version of the 

supporting statement, at MSHA, Office 

of Standards, Regulations, and 

Variances, 1100 Wilson Boulevard

version of the supporting statement will 

be available on MSHA’s Web site for 60 

days after the publication date of this 

notice. Comments submitted in writing 

or in electronic form will be made 

available for public inspection. Because 

comments will not be edited to remove 

any identifying or contact information, 

MSHA cautions the commenter against 

including any information in the 

submission that should not be publicly 

disclosed. Questions about the 

information collection requirements 

may be directed to the person listed in 

the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

III. Current Actions

operators is used by MSHA during 

inspections to determine compliance 

with the requirements concerning the 

training and retraining of miners 

engaged in shell dredging or employed 

at sand, gravel, surface stone, surface 

clay, colloidal phosphate, or surface 

limestone mines. MSHA has updated
