61784 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 206 / Wednesday, October 26, 2005 / Notices 

National Forest’s Schedule of Proposed 

Actions. Two informational field trips 

were conducted on October 18 and 

October 25, 2005. A public meeting will 

be scheduled for November 2005, to 

discuss the project. Other meetings will 

be scheduled as needed. Also, 

correspondence with tribes, government 

agencies, organizations, and individuals 

who have indicated their interest will be 

conducted. 

Preliminary Issues. Preliminary issues 

identified include the potential effect of 

the proposed action on: soils, water 

quality and fish habitat, snags and down 

wood, disturbance to cultural resources, 

potential for noxious weed expansion, 

threatened, endangered and sensitive 

aquatic, terrestrial and plant species, 

potential loss of economic value of trees 

damaged by the wildfire, and the safety 

and use of the area by public and land 

managers. 

Comment. Public comments about 

this proposal are requested to identify 

issues and alternatives to the proposed 

action and to focus the scope of the 

analysis. Comments received in 

response to this solicitation, including 

names and addresses of those who 

comment, will be considered part of the 

public record on this proposed action, 

and will be available for public 

inspection. Comments submitted 

anonymously will be accepted and 

considered; however, those who submit 

anonymous comments will not have 

standing to appeal the subsequent 

decisions under 36 CFR Parts 215 or 

217. Additionally, pursuant to 7 CFR 

1.27(d), any person may request the 

agency to withhold a submission from 

the public record by showing how the 

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 

permits such confidentiality. Persons 

requesting such confidentiality should 

be aware that under the FOIA, 

confidentiality may be granted in only 

very limited circumstances such as to 

protect trade secrets. The Forest Service 

will inform the requester of the agency’s 

decision regarding the request for 

confidentiality, and where the request is 

denied; the agency will return the 

submission and notify the requester that 

the comments may be resubmitted with 

or without name and address within a 

specified number of days. 

Early Notice of Importance of Public 

Participation in Subsequent 

Environmental Review. A draft EIS will 

be filed with the Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) and made 

available for public review by April 

2006. The EPA will publish a Notice of 

Availability (NOA) of the draft EIS in 

the Federal Register. The final EIS is 

scheduled to be available July 2006. 

The Forest Service believes at this 

early stage, it is important to give 

reviewers notice of several court rulings 

related to public participation in the 

environmental review process. First, 

reviewers of draft impact statements 

must structure their participation in the 

environmental review of the proposal so 

that it is meaningful and alerts the 

agency to the reviewer’s position and 

contentions. Vermont Yankee Nuclear 

Power Corp. v. NRDC, 435 U.S. 519, 553 

(1978). Also, environmental objections 

that could be raised at the draft 

environmental impact stage but that are 

not raised until after completion of the 

final environmental impact statement 

may be waived or dismissed by the 

courts. City of Angoon v. Hodel, 803 f.2d 

1016, 1022 (9th Cir. 1986) and 

Wisconsin Heritages, Inc. v. Harris, 490 

F. Supp. 1334, 1338 (E.D. Wis. 1980). 

Because of these court rulings, it is very 

important that those interested in this 

proposed action participate by the close 

of the 45-day comment period so that 

substantive comments and objections 

are made available to the Forest Service 

at a time when it can meaningfully 

consider them and respond to them in 

the final environmental impact 

statement. 

To assist the Forest Service in 

identifying and considering issues and 

concerns on the proposed action, 

comments on the draft environmental 

impact statement should be as specific 

as possible. It is also helpful if 

comments refer to specific pages or 

chapters of the draft statement. 

Comments may also address the 

adequacy of the draft environmental 

impact statement or the merits of the 

alternatives formulated and discussed in 

the statement. Reviewers may wish to 

refer to the Council on Environmental 

Quality Regulations for implementing 

the procedural provisions of the 

National Environmental Policy Act at 40 

CFR 1503.3 in addressing these points. 

In the final EIS, the Forest Service is 

required to respond to substantive 

comments received during the comment 

period for the draft EIS. The Forest 

Service is the lead agency and the 

responsible official is the Forest 

Supervisor, Umatilla National Forest. 

The responsible official will decide 

where, and whether or not to salvage 

timber, and remove potential hazard 

trees. The responsible official will also 

decide how to mitigate effects of these 

actions and will determine when and 

how monitoring of effects will take 

place. The School Fire Salvage Recovery 

Project decision and reasons for the 

decision will be documented in a record 

of decision. That decision will be 

subject to Forest Service Appeal 

Regulations (36 CFR part 215).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau is the preeminent 

collector of timely, relevant and quality 

data about the people and economy of 

the United States. Economic data are the 

Census Bureau’s primary program 

commitment during non-decennial 

census years. The economic census, 

conducted under authority of Title 13 

U.S.C., is the primary source of facts 

about the structure and functioning of 

the Nation’s economy and features 

unique industry and geographic detail. 

Economic census statistics serve as part 

of the framework for the national 

accounts and provide essential 

information for government, business 

and the general public. 

Prior to conducting the 2007 

Economic Census, the Census Bureau 

needs to collect a North American 

Industry Classification System (NAICS) 

code from selected construction 

establishments. Those establishments 

selected have a partially assigned 

NAICS code on the Census Bureau’s 

Business Register. Collecting this 

classification information will ensure 

the Economic Census mailing list for the 

construction sector is complete and 

accurate prior to the mailing of the 2007 

Economic Census. As a result of this 

collection, the Census Bureau will be 

able to select an efficient sample, thus 

minimizing the reporting burden that 

we impose on construction 

establishments. 

Additionally, this questionnaire will 

be used to collect a complete and 

reliable NAICS code for partially 

classified manufacturing and mining 

establishments. This will ensure these 

establishments are tabulated in the 

correct detailed industry for the 2007 

Economic Census. Many of these 

establishments will not receive any 

further economic census mailings 

because of their small size, and this will 

be our only chance to obtain this 

detailed industry classification. 

Economic data for these cases could be 

lost if this data were not collected. 

The failure to collect this 

classification information will have an 

adverse effect on the quality and 

usefulness of economic statistics and 

severely hamper the Census Bureau’s 

ability to effectively classify 

establishments under NAICS in the 

Economic Census and other survey 

programs. 

The Census Bureau is not requesting 

any economic data in this collection. 

The collection of this NAICS 

information will greatly reduce 

processing costs and ease reporting 

burden for the 2007 Economic Census 

data collection. 

II. Method of Collection 

The Census Bureau will select 

establishments to receive this survey 

from the Census Bureau’s Business 

Register. The Census Bureau will mail 

the NC–99026 to those establishments 

from the following groups: (1) Any 

single unit construction establishment 

that is partially coded, (2) any single
