V. Period of the Match 

The matching program will become

Integrity Boards (DIBs) of both agencies 

approve and sign the computer 

matching agreement, and after, the later 

of the following: (1) 40 days after report 

of the matching program is sent to 

Congress and OMB; (2) at least 30 days 

after publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register, unless comments are 

received, which would result in a 

contrary determination. The matching 

program will be conducted according to 

the computer matching agreement 

between HUD OIG and OPM. 

The Improper Payments Elimination 

and Recovery Improvement Act of 2012 

(IPERIA) authorizes each Inspector 

General and the head of each agency to 

enter into computer matching 

agreements with other inspector general 

and agency heads that allow ongoing 

data matching (which includes 

automated data matching) in order to 

assist in the detection and prevention of 

improper payments. IPERIA further 

authorizes such matching agreements to 

have a termination date of less than 3 

years (Pub. L. 112–248, Section 

5(e)(2)(C)(i)). The computer matching 

agreement for the planned match will 

terminate either when the purpose of 

the matching program is accomplished, 

or less than 36 months from the 

effective date of the computer matching 

agreement, whichever occurs first. 

IPERIA provides that within three 

months prior to the expiration of a 

matching agreement, the Data Integrity 

Boards (DIBs) may renew the matching 

agreement for a current, ongoing 

matching program for not more than 3 

years. (Pub. L. 112–248, Section 

5(e)(2)(C)(ii)). The agreement may be 

renewed for a period not to exceed 3 

years, with the mutual agreement of all 

involved parties, if the following 

conditions are met: (1) Within three 

months of the expiration date, all DIBs 

review the agreement, find that the 

program will be conducted without 

change, and find a continued favorable 

examination of benefit/cost results; and 

(2) All parties certify that the program 

has been conducted in compliance with 

the computer matching agreement. 

The agreement may be terminated, 

prior to accomplishment of the 

computer matching purpose or less than 

36 months from the effective date of the 

computer matching agreement, 

(whichever occurs first), by the mutual 

agreement of all involved parties within 

30 days of written notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The USGS is working with the 

Federal Advisory Committee on Water 

Information (ACWI) and its 

Subcommittee on Ground Water 

(SOGW) to develop and administer a 

National Ground-Water Monitoring 

Network (NGWMN). This network is 

required as part of Public Law 111–11, 

Subtitle F—Secure Water: Section 9507 

‘‘Water Data Enhancement by the 

United States Geological Survey’’. The 

Network will consist of an aggregation 

of well data from existing Federal, 

Multistate, State, Tribal, and local 

groundwater monitoring networks. To 

support data providers for the National 

Ground-Water Monitoring Network, the 

USGS will be providing funding 

through cooperative agreements to 

water-resource agencies that collect 

groundwater data. The USGS will be 

soliciting applications for funding that 

will request information from the 

Agency collecting the data. Elements 

will include contact information (phone 

number and email address), and a 

proposal describing their existing data 

collection and a plan to evaluate their 

data for incorporation into the NGWMN. 

The proposal will be evaluated by the 

USGS and the NGWMN Program Board 

to appropriate funding. The proposal 

will describe the groundwater networks 

to be included in the NGWMN, the 

purpose of the networks, an estimate of 

the number of wells they would submit 

for the network, an overview of the 

methods they would use to select and 

classify wells for the network a 

description of data collection 

techniques, and information on their 

databases. The proposal would also 

require estimates of one-time costs to 

complete the above tasks and annual 

costs to participate in the network.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Las

RMP. The Draft RMP/Draft EIS was 

developed through a collaborative 

planning process. The Las Vegas and 

Pahrump Field Offices Draft RMP/Draft 

EIS decision area encompasses 

approximately 3.1 million acres of 

public land administered by the BLM 

Southern Nevada District in Clark and 

Southern Nye counties, Nevada. It does 

not include private lands, State lands, 

Indian reservations, Federal lands not 

administered by BLM or lands 

addressed in the Red Rock Canyon 

National Conservation Area RMP (2005) 

and Sloan Canyon National 

Conservation Area RMP (2006). The Las 

Vegas and Pahrump Field Offices Draft 

RMP/Draft EIS includes goals, objectives 

and management actions for protecting 

and preserving natural resources which 

includes air quality, soil and water 

resources, vegetation, fish and wildlife, 

special status species, wild horses and 

burros, wildland fire management, 

cultural and paleontological resources, 

visual resource values, and lands with 

wilderness characteristics. Multiple 

resource uses are addressed which 

include management and forage 

allocations for livestock grazing; 

delineation of lands open, closed, or 

subject to special stipulations or 

mitigation measures for minerals 

development; recreation and travel 

management designations; management 

of lands and realty actions, including 

delineation of avoidance and exclusion 

areas applicable to rights-of-ways 

(ROWs), land tenure adjustments, and 

solar and wind energy development. 

The planning effort will consider 

establishment of a national trail 

management corridor for the 

congressionally-designated Old Spanish 

National Historic Trail. Eligible river 

segments will be evaluated for 

suitability as components of the 

National Wild and Scenic River System 

and 23 new Areas of Critical 

Environmental Concern (ACECs) are 

proposed. The ACECs are proposed to 

protect natural and cultural resource 

values and traditional Native American 

use areas.
