Forest Service

Carlota Copper Project, Tonto National

Forest, Gila and Pinal Counties, AZ

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

COOPERATING AGENCIES: Department of

Defense, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

Los Angeles District, Arizona Field

Office.

Arizona Department of Environmental

Quality.

ACTION: Revision of notice of intent to

prepare an environmental impact

statement.

SUMMARY: On June 9, 1992, the USDA,

Forest Service, as lead agency, issued a

Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

for a proposal to develop a mine for

copper extraction in the Pinto Creek/

Powers Gulch area in the Federal

Register (57 FR 24461). The purpose of

this revised notice is to inform the

publics of the following:

1. A revised release date for the draft

and final EIS;

2. The availability of a Scoping Report

document, and Update To Plan of

Operations, a Closure and Reclamation

Plan and a revised Mine Site Plan

further describing changes to the

proposal;

3. The additional of the U.S. Army

Corps of Engineers and the Arizona

Department of Environmental Quality as

cooperating agencies;

4. A change in the appeal regulations.

The draft EIS is now expected to be

completed and available for public

review in January, 1995. The final EIS

is expected to be available in June, 1995.

Following several months of scoping

and public meetings, a Scoping Report

was completed in July, 1993, and

mailed to all publics who had requested

to be placed on the project mailing list.

The initial plan of operations for the

Carlota Mine was filed in February,

1992. As additional planning and

engineering work was completed, and in

response to agency and public

comments and suggestions, the

proponent submitted an Update to Plan

of Operations in January, 1993, a revised

Mine Site Plan dated 12/15/93, and a

Closure and Reclamation Plan in June,

1994. Copies of the Scoping Report,

Update to Plan of Operations, Mine Site

Plan and Closure and Reclamation Plan

are available for public review at the

following locations: Forest Service

Supervisor’s Office, Phoenix, Arizona;

Forest Service District Ranger’s Office,

Globe, Arizona.

The revisions will increase ore

production and extend the life of the

project. Based on review of those

revisions, no new issues were evident

which were not identified in the initial

public scoping. Upon completion of the

draft EIS, copies will be distributed to

interested and affected agencies,

organizations, and members of the

public for their review and comment.

The EPA will publish a Notice of

Availability of the draft EIS in the

Federal Register. The comment period

on the draft EIS will be 45 days from the

date the EPA publishes the Notice of

Availability. It is very important that

those interested in this proposed action

participate at that time.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

and the Arizona Department of

Environmental Quality are participating

in the analysis process as cooperating

agencies for the purposes of their

permitting processes.

Effective November 4, 1993, in the

Federal Register (58 FR 58904), a new
9004 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 32 / Thursday, February 16, 1995 / Notices

appeal regulation become effective. The

decision on this proposed action will be

subject to Forest Service appeal

regulations (36 CFR part 215).

RESPONSIBLE OFFICIAL: The responsible

official who will make the decision

regarding this proposal is Charles R.

Bazan, Forest Supervisor, Tonto

National Forest, 2324 E. McDowell,

Phoenix, Arizona 85006. He will decide

under what circumstances the mining

operations may proceed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

original plan proposed three open pits

over 370 acres. The revised plan

proposes four open pits over 435 acres.

Disturbance area has increased from

approximately 1250 acres to 1447 acres.

The ore reserves have increased from

54–70 million tons to 100 million tons.

Mine rock (overburden or

nonmineralized rock to be removed)

increased from 130 million to 211

million tons, however, the extent of

mine rock dumps will not be increased

due to the proposed partial backfilling

of the pits. The project life has increased

from 10–12 years to 18 years and the

number of employees increased from

225 to 280–300. The mining rate has

increased from 19 million tons per year

to 24 million tons per year. The separate

leach solution and overflow ponds have

been incorporated within the leach pad

so only the raffinate solution pond will

be exposed. The estimated average

annual water requirement of 750 gallons

per minute has not substantially

increased although dry-period demands

are estimated to reach 1200 gallons per

minute. Locations of access roads,

powerline corridors and facilities have

also been relocated.

Dated: December 15, 1994.

Forest Supervisor.

and cooperative agreements for three

separate service programs –– Minority

Enterprise Growth Assistance Centers,

Minority Business Development Centers

and the Native American Program. The

information collected is needed to

evaluate individual project and program

performance by comparing

accomplishments against planned

Agency Form Under Review by the

Office of Management and Budget

DOC has submitted to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) for

clearance the following proposal for

collection of information under the

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction

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

Agency: Bureau of the Census.

Title: 1995 Census Test – Integrated

Coverage Measurement (Housing Unit

Follow–up).

Form Number(s): DG–1377.

Agency Approval Number: None.

Type of Request: New collection–

EXPEDITED REVIEW.

Burden: 330.

Number of Respondents: 2,241.

Avg Hours Per Response: 5 minutes.

Needs and Uses: Prompted by the

need to improve estimation techniques

during the decennial census, the Census

Bureau has developed an Integrated

Coverage Measurement (ICM) approach

to be tested during the 1995 Census

Test. The ICM approach will utilize a

separately sampled group of blocks

within the 1995 Census Test sites which

will be independently listed and then

interviewed in addition to being

enumerated in the census test. We will

reconcile differences between the

independent roster obtained in the ICM

interviews and the census test results.

This reconciliation will allow us to

measure our coverage of persons in

missed housing units and coverage of

persons missed within housing units

enumerated in the census test. Before

ICM interviews are conducted, the

independent listing will be enhanced by

matching to existing census records. We

will use the Housing Unit Follow–up

Form to resolve non–matches and

duplicate addresses. ICM interviews

will then be conducted at housing units

on the ‘‘enhanced listing.’’

Affected Public: Individuals or

households.

Frequency: One–time.

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
