**Notice of Public Hearing on Stone Energy Corporation Proposed Surface**  **Water Withdrawal and Natural Gas Well Site** 

**SUMMARY :**  Because of the high level of public interest in projects within the Delaware Basin that are associated with natural gas drilling activities, the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC or ‘‘ Commission ’’ ) will hold a special public hearing on two projects sponsored by the Stone Energy Corporation (hereinafter, ‘‘ Stone Energy’’ ) to support natural gas exploration and development activities within the basin. One of the two projects entails a surface water withdrawal from the West Branch Lackawaxen River in Mount Pleasant Township, Pennsylvania (Docket No. D– 2009–13–1). The other concerns an existing natural gas well drilling pad site in Clinton Township, Pennsylvania (Docket No. D–2009–18–1). Both projects are located in Wayne County, Pennsylvania, within the drainage area of a portion of the main stem Delaware River that the Commission has classified as Special Protection Waters.

**DATES :**  The hearing will take place on Wednesday, February 24, 2010 from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m. Written comments will be accepted until 5 p.m. on March 12,
2010.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  For questions about the upcoming hearing that are not answered in the section of this notice entitled **SUPPLEMENTARY**
**INFORMATION** , please contact Ms. Paula Schmitt at 609–477–7224 or Ms. Katharine O’Hara at 609–477–7205.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Draft dockets. Dockets Nos. D–2009–13–1 (water withdrawal) and D–2009–18–1 (natural gas well drilling pad site) can be viewed on the Commission’s Web site, DRBC.net, as a link from this notice.

Hearing Procedure. In order to give everyone who wishes to testify a fair and equal opportunity to do so at the public hearing, which is expected to be heavily attended, the following procedures will be in effect:

• Registration to testify. Individuals who wish to speak at the hearing will be requested to print their names on a numbered list and complete a separate DRBC commenter card. Registrations to present oral testimony will begin at approximately 2:30 p.m. (30 minutes prior to the beginning of the hearing) and will continue until the hearing is closed. There will be no advance registration prior to February 24. For the convenience of those who wish to speak, more than one registration list may be used. Accordingly, speakers will be called in roughly, but not exactly, the order in which they registered.

• Time allowances. In order to allow everyone who wishes to speak an opportunity to do so, individuals will be allotted no more than three minutes to present their oral testimony. Speakers will not be permitted to cede their time to others; however, after everyone who wishes to speak has had a chance to do so, the hearing officer will accept requests from those who wish to supplement their earlier remarks. Individuals who have prepared written testimony are asked to summarize their comments during the three-minute period for oral testimony and to submit their complete written comments either at the public hearing or via e-mail, fax, U.S. Mail, delivery service, or hand delivery in accordance with the

**ADDRESSES** section above, before 5 p.m. on March 12.

• Stenographic record. A court stenographer will be present to capture all verbal comments for the public record.

• Other. The sole purpose of the hearing on February 24 is to provide members of the public with an opportunity for oral testimony on the proposed Stone Energy dockets. The Commissioners and staff will not respond to comments at the hearing, nor will they conduct any other business that day. Because a separate hearing on the Stone Energy dockets is being held on February 24, oral testimony on these dockets will not be accepted during the Commission’s regularly scheduled business meeting and public hearing on March 3, 2010. A separate notice will be published listing the hearing items and other matters to be considered during the meeting on March 3.

Project Descriptions. Detailed descriptions of the two projects are included in the draft dockets posted on the Commission’s Web site (DRBC.net) as links from this notice. Brief descriptions of the two projects follow:

Abstract: The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 2010–11 (ECLS–K:2011) is a survey that focuses on children’s early school experiences beginning with kindergarten and continuing through the fifth grade. It includes interviews with parents, teachers, school administrators, and non-parental care providers, as well as direct child assessments. This submission updates the field test submission of fiscal year 2009 (OMB# 1850–0750 v.5), summarizes the field test results, and includes the final instruments to be used for the Fall 2010 and Spring 2011 kindergarten national data collection, with collection activities scheduled to begin in Summer 2010. This package also outlines and seeks a 60-day federal register notice waiver for the upcoming OMB clearance submission for (1) a possible addition of vision and hearing screenings to the kindergarten data collection and (2) the Fall 2011 first grade recruitment and data collection, Spring 2012 first grade recruitment materials and recruitment burden, and for tracking students for the first and second grade data collections—all of which are expected to have only minor changes to the materials, instruments, and processes already approved in the field test package (OMB# 1850–0750 v.5).
