AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Withdrawal of Notice of intent 

to prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement. 

SUMMARY: On May 9, 2006, Federal 

Register (Volume 71, Number 89, [Page 

26921–26923]), the USDA Forest 

Service, Plumas National Forest 

announced its intent to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

to eradicate populations of the noxious 

weed tall whitetop (Lepidium 

Iatifoliuin), along the Middle Fork of the 

Feather River. The proposed Federal 

action in this EIS was to use a three-step 

process to ensure the successful 

eradication of tallwhite top. One of the 

steps involved the use of herbicides. 

The EIS would have evaluated the 

environmental effects associated with 

these actions and any reasonable 

alternatives. 

The notice of intent to prepare an EIS 

is withdrawn. The Plumas National 

Forest will continue the NEPA process 

by preparing an Environmental 

Assessment to evaluate the 

environmental effects of a new proposed 

action.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the emergency 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). 

Agency: National 

Telecommunications and Information 

Administration. 

Title: Message Testing Focus Groups 

and Interviews for the Digital-to-Analog 

Converter Box Program. 

OMB Control Number: None. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Emergency 

submission. 

Number of Respondents: 328. 

Average Hours per Response: 90 

minutes. 

Burden Hours: 492. 

Needs and Uses: Congress directed 

the National Telecommunications and 

Information Administration (NTIA) to 

create and implement a program to 

provide coupons for consumers to 

purchase digital-to-analog converter 

boxes. These converter boxes are 

necessary for consumers who wish to 

continue receiving broadcast 

programming over the air using analogonly television sets after February 17, 

2009—the date that television stations 

are required by law to cease analog 

broadcasting. Since September 2007, 

NTIA has been conducting a consumer 

education campaign to educate U.S. 

residents who receive over-the-air 

broadcasts on analog television sets 

about the digital television transition 

and the TV Converter Box Coupon 

Program. While awareness of the 

coupon program has been nationally 

reported, more than five million 

households were completely 

unprepared as of February 2009. On 

February 11, 2009, the President signed 

the DTV Delay Act into law changing 

the date by which all full-power 

television stations must cease analog 

broadcasts to June 12, 2009. 

In an effort to help further determine 

who the unprepared households are, if 

the households have taken any steps to 

prepare for the transition, if not why, 

and the optimal messages and methods 

to communicate with the consumers 

who are not ready in the final months 

leading up to the transition, NTIA, will 

conduct 32 focus groups in ten cities 

and a limited number of individual 

interviews. This effort would lead in the 

development of new messages and 

materials to reach these consumers. The 

targeted audiences, identified as the 

more reliant on over-the-air television, 

include the following: (1) Economically 

disadvantaged households; (2) rural 

residents; (3) minorities; (4) people with 

disabilities; and (5) seniors. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: One-time only. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

OMB Desk Officer: Nicholas Fraser, 

(202) 395–5887. 

Copies of the above information 

collection proposal can be obtained by 

calling or writing Diana Hynek, 

Departmental Paperwork Clearance 

Officer, (202) 482–0266, Department of 

Commerce, Room 7845, 14th and 

Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, 

DC 20230 (or via the Internet at

Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent by 

March 6, 2009 to Nicholas Fraser, OMB 

Desk Officer, FAX number (202) 395– 

5806, or
