1 ‘‘Non-statistical’’ is defined precisely in 

CIPSEA. Loosely, an information collection 

undertaken for a non-statistical purpose would be 

one intended to support a regulatory action or other 

action specifically targeted to the entity on which 

data were collected. 

Improvement Act, Sections 2501 

through 2503 of the Housing and 

Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (15 

U.S.C. 1638(b)(2)) (early disclosures for 

home refinance loans and home equity 

loans) Higher Education Opportunity 

Act of 2008, Section 1021(a) (15 U.S.C. 

1638(e)(5)) (private student loan 

disclosures) Fair Credit Reporting Act, 

Section 621 (15 U.S.C. 1681s(e)); Equal 

Credit Opportunity Act, Section 703 (15 

U.S.C. 1691b(a)); Electronic Funds 

Transfer Act, Section 904 (15 U.S.C. 

1693b); and Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, 

Section 504 (15 U.S.C. 6804). 

Respondent participation in the survey 

is voluntary. If the Federal Reserve 

contracts with an outside firm that 

retains the respondent identifying data 

and, pursuant to a contractual 

agreement, that data cannot be reported 

to the Federal Reserve, then the 

respondent identifying data cannot be 

considered an agency record and would 

not be subject to disclosure under the 

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). 

However, if there is no contractual 

agreement between the Federal Reserve 

and an outside firm regarding the 

reporting of respondent identifying data, 

or if the Federal Reserve conducted the 

survey itself, the information could be 

considered an agency record subject to 

subsection (b)(6) of the FOIA. The 

confidentiality of the information 

obtained from financial institutions and 

other stakeholders will be determined 

on a case-by-case basis when the 

specific questions to be asked on each 

particular survey are formulated, but 

before respondents are contacted. 

Depending upon the survey questions, 

confidential treatment could be 

warranted under subsection (b)(4) of the 

FOIA. 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(4) and (6). 

Abstract: The FR 1380 is used to 

gather qualitative and quantitative 

information directly from consumers 

(consumer studies), and also to gather 

qualitative and quantitative information 

from financial institutions offering 

consumer financial products and 

services and from other stakeholders, 

such as brokers, appraisers, settlement 

agents, software vendors, and consumer 

groups (stakeholder studies). This 

information collection is specifically 

targeted to the development of 

consumer regulations. The consumer 

studies gather information about 

individual consumers’ knowledge of, 

and attitudes toward, consumer 

disclosures used by financial 

institutions in compliance with Federal 

Reserve regulations. The consumer 

studies may also enable the Federal 

Reserve to develop and test consumer 

education resources. The stakeholder 

studies gather information from the 

institutions offering financial products 

and services and other third parties 

regarding products, disclosure, 

marketing, advertising, and sales 

practices. 

Proposal to approve under OMB 

delegated authority the implementation 

of the following report: 

Report Title: Microeconomic Survey. 

Agency Form Number: FR 3051. 

OMB Control Number: 7100–0321. 

Frequency: Annually and monthly, as 

needed. 

Reporters: Individuals, households, 

and financial and non-financial 

businesses. 

Estimated Annual Reporting Hours: 

Annual, 6,000 hours; Monthly, 18,000 

hours. 

Estimated Average Hours per 

Response: Annual, 30 minutes; 

Monthly, 60 minutes. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

Annual, 6,000; Monthly, 3,000. 

General Description of Report: This 

information collection is voluntary (12 

U.S.C. 225A and 263). Generally, when 

the survey or study is conducted by an 

outside firm, names or other such 

directly identifying characteristics 

would not be reported to the Federal 

Reserve. In circumstances where 

identifying information is provided to 

the Federal Reserve, such information 

could possibly be protected from 

Freedom of Information Act disclosure 

by FOIA exemptions 4 and 6 (5 U.S.C. 

552(b)(4) and (6)). 

The Federal Reserve Board’s 

Microeconomic Surveys section in the 

Division of Research and Statistics is an 

official statistical unit, as defined under 

the Confidential Information Protection 

and Statistical Efficiency Act (CIPSEA) 

of 2002 (44 U.S.C. 3501). When 

information is collected by a private 

contractor under the oversight of that 

section, there are stringent requirements 

for protecting the data and respondents 

may be given a legally binding pledge of 

confidentiality. The pledge would 

disallow any use of the data for a nonstatistical purpose.1 When the Federal 

Reserve collects data directly (that is, 

without the use of a private data 

collection company or other such 

agent), respondents may also be offered 

such a pledge if the data are intended 

for a statistical purpose. 

Abstract: The Federal Reserve would 

use this event-driven survey to obtain 

information specifically tailored to the 

Federal Reserve’s supervisory, 

regulatory, operational, and other 

responsibilities. The Federal Reserve 

proposes to conduct the FR 3051 up to 

13 times per year (including one survey 

on an annual basis and another on a 

monthly basis). The frequency and 

content of the questions would depend 

on changing economic, regulatory, or 

legislative developments.

BILLING CODE 6210–01–P 

GENERAL SERVICES 

ADMINISTRATION 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Reconfiguration and Expansion of 

the San Luis I Land Port of Entry 

AGENCY: Public Buildings Service, 

General Services Administration. 

ACTION: Notice of intent with request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The General Services 

Administration (GSA) announces its 

intent to prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) under the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) of 1969 to assess the potential 

impacts of reconfiguration and 

expansion of the San Luis I Land Port 

of Entry (LPOE) in San Luis, Arizona. 

The proposed action is for GSA to 

reconfigure the existing downtown San 

Luis LPOE and expand it to improve its 

functionality, capacity, and security. 

The San Luis I LPOE was built in 1984 

and is operated by the U.S. Department 

of Homeland Security (DHS)/U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP). 

The facility currently handles all traffic 

modes, including commercial vehicles, 

buses, privately operated vehicles 

(POVs), and pedestrians. However, the 

existing facility is inadequate relative to 

CBP’s security standards and is 

incapable of adequately handling 

current and projected traffic volumes. 

GSA therefore is proposing to 

reconfigure and expand the existing San 

Luis I LPOE so that it may continue to 

serve POV’s, buses and pedestrians. 

GSA is currently constructing San Luis 

II LPOE that will become the 

commercial port of entry for Yuma 

County, which it expects to complete in 

late 2009 at which time the commercial 

operations at San Luis I will cease. 

GSA proposes to expand the current 

port by utilizing the vacated commercial 

space and acquiring approximately one 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
14128 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 59 / Monday, March 30, 2009 / Notices 

acre of land along the eastern boundary 

of the LPOE, and approximately one 

acre along the western boundary of the 

LPOE. This expansion will mitigate 

traffic congestion in the port and allow 

an increase of the number of inspection 

lanes and employee parking. The 

expansion and reconfiguration of the 

LPOE will accommodate 11 primary 

booths for northbound inspection and 

allow for the future accommodation of 

four additional booths, including one 

booth for U.S./Mexico Emergency 

Vehicle pathway. The current six 

primary northbound U.S. entry lanes 

will be converted into three primary 

booths for U.S. entry for bus/high 

occupancy vehicles/recreational 

vehicles (HOV/RV) and bicycles. 

Southbound vehicle inspection lanes 

will be expanded from two to three 

lanes and four adjacent secondary 

inspection stalls will be constructed. 

Under the proposed action, a new 

headhouse facility will be constructed, 

administrative offices will be renovated, 

and pedestrian processing facilities 

would be expanded. Roadway 

modifications within the port will be 

conducted to improve traffic movement 

through the port and to enhance 

pedestrian safety. These modifications 

will also allow for establishment of an 

emergency route through the port. 

The EIS will evaluate the potential 

environmental impacts associated with 

alternatives to implement the proposed 

action, including the No Action 

Alternative: 

Alternative 1: Reconfigure the existing 

San Luis I LPOE and expand facilities 

through acquisition of approximately 

one acre of adjacent land to the west 

and approximately one acre of adjacent 

land to the east. 

No Action Alternative: Continue 

operations in the existing LPOE 

facilities as they are currently 

configured. This alternative is included 

to provide a basis of comparison to the 

action alternative as required by NEPA 

regulations (40 CFR 1002.14[d]). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

public scoping period starts with 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register and will continue for 45 days 

from the date of the notice. GSA will 

consider all comments received or postmarked by that date in defining the 

scope of the EIS. 

A public scoping meeting will be held 

to provide the public with an 

opportunity to present comments, ask 

questions, and discuss concerns 

regarding the scope of the EIS with GSA 

representatives. GSA will hold a public 

scoping meeting on April 14, 2009 at the 

San Luis City Hall Council Chambers, 

1090 E. Union Street from 4 to 7 p.m. 

DATES: Interested parties should submit 

written comments on or before May 14, 

2009. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments 

concerning the scope of the EIS should 

be sent to GSA San Luis Scoping, c/o 

Parsons, 1700 Broadway Suite 900, 

Denver, CO 80290 or send an e-mail to

Proposed Project: Public Health 

Service Polices on Research Misconduct 

(42 CFR Part 93)–OMB No 0937–0198- 

Extension-Office of Resource Integrity. 

Abstract: This is a request to extend 

the currently approved collection. The 

purpose of the Annual Report on 

Possible Research Misconduct (Annual 

Report) form is to provide data on the 

amount of research misconduct activity 

occurring in institutions conducting 

PHS supported research. In addition 

this provides an annual assurance that 

the institution has established and will 

follow administrative policies and 

procedures for responding to allegations 

of research misconduct that comply 

with the Public Health Service (PHS) 

Policies on Research Misconduct (42 

CFR Part 93). Research misconduct is 

defined as receipt of an allegation of 

research misconduct and/or the conduct 

of an inquiry and/or investigation into 

such allegations. These data enable the 

ORI to monitor institutional compliance 

with the PHS regulation. Lastly, the 

form will be used to respond to 

congressional requests for information 

to prevent misuse of Federal funds and 

to protect the public interest.
