SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, in a letter dated May 

4, 2010, the President declared a major 

disaster under the authority of the 

Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 

Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 

5121–5207 (the Stafford Act), as follows: 

I have determined that the damage in 

certain areas of the State of Tennessee 

resulting from severe storms, flooding, 

straight-line winds, and tornadoes beginning 

on April 30, 2010, and continuing, is of 

sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant 

a major disaster declaration under the Robert 

T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 

Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (the 

‘‘Stafford Act’’). Therefore, I declare that such 

a major disaster exists in the State of 

Tennessee. 

In order to provide Federal assistance, you 

are hereby authorized to allocate from funds 

available for these purposes such amounts as 

you find necessary for Federal disaster 

assistance and administrative expenses. 

You are authorized to provide Individual 

Assistance and assistance for debris removal 

and emergency protective measures 

(Categories A and B) under the Public 

Assistance program in the designated areas, 

Hazard Mitigation throughout the State, and 

any other forms of assistance under the 

Stafford Act that you deem appropriate 

subject to completion of Preliminary Damage 

Assessments (PDAs), unless you determine 

that the incident is of such unusual severity 

and magnitude that PDAs are not required to 

determine the need for supplemental Federal 

assistance pursuant to 44 CFR 206.33(d). 

Direct Federal assistance is authorized. 

Consistent with the requirement that 

Federal assistance is supplemental, any 

Federal funds provided under the Stafford 

Act for Public Assistance, Hazard Mitigation, 

and Other Needs Assistance will be limited 

to 75 percent of the total eligible costs. 

Further, you are authorized to make 

changes to this declaration for the approved 

assistance to the extent allowable under the 

Stafford Act. 

The time period prescribed for the 

implementation of section 310(a), 

Priority to Certain Applications for 

Public Facility and Public Housing 

Assistance, 42 U.S.C. 5153, shall be for 

a period not to exceed six months after 

the date of this declaration. 

The Federal Emergency Management 

Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice that 

pursuant to the authority vested in the 

Administrator, under Executive Order 

12148, as amended, Gracia B. Szczech, 

of FEMA is appointed to act as the 

Federal Coordinating Officer for this

The IEED is seeking renewal of the 

approval for the information collection 

conducted under OMB Control Number 

1076–0135, Reporting System for Public

authorizes tribal governments to 

integrate federally funded employment, 

training, and related services and 

programs into a single, coordinated, 

comprehensive service delivery plan. 

Funding agencies include the 

Department of the Interior, Department 

of Labor, and the Department of Health 

and Human Services. Indian Affairs is 

statutorily required to serve as the lead 

agency and provides a single, universal 

report format for use by tribal 

governments to report on integrated 

activities and expenditures. The IEED 

shares the information collected from 

these reports with the Department of 

Labor and the Department of Health and 

Human Services. 

Approval for this collection expires 

September 30, 2010. There are forms 

associated with this collection. No third 

party notification or public disclosure 

burden is associated with this 

collection. There is no change to the 

approved burden hours for this 

information collection. 

II. Request for Comments 

IEED requests that you send your 

comments on this collection to the 

location listed in the ADDRESSES section. 

Your comments should address: (a) The 

necessity of the information collection

agencies, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden (hours and cost) of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used;

utility and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (d) ways we could 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

the information on the respondents, 

such as through the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Please note that an agency may not 

sponsor or conduct, and an individual 

need not respond to, a collection of 

information unless it has a valid OMB 

Control Number. 

It is our policy to make all comments 

available to the public for review at the 

location listed in the ADDRESSES section 

during the hours of 9 a.m.–5 p.m., 

Eastern Time, Monday through Friday

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction 

With this notice, we continue the CCP 

process for Piedmont NWR. We started 

the process through a notice in the 

Federal Register on April 4, 2008 (73 FR 

18552). 

For more about the refuge and our 

CCP process, please see that notice. 

Background 

The CCP Process 

The National Wildlife Refuge System 

Administration Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 

668dd–668ee), as amended by the 

National Wildlife Refuge System 

Improvement Act of 1997, requires us to 

develop a CCP for each national wildlife 

refuge. The purpose for developing a 

CCP is to provide refuge managers with 

a 15-year plan for achieving refuge 

purposes and contributing toward the 

mission of the National Wildlife Refuge 

System, consistent with sound 

principles of fish and wildlife 

management, conservation, legal 

mandates, and our policies. In addition 

to outlining broad management 

direction on conserving wildlife and 

their habitats, CCPs identify wildlifedependent recreational opportunities 

available to the public, including 

opportunities for hunting, fishing, 

wildlife observation, wildlife 

photography, and environmental 

education and interpretation. We will 

review and update the CCP at least 

every 15 years in accordance with the 

Administration Act. 

Significant issues addressed in the 

Draft CCP/EA include: (1) Management 

for threatened and endangered species; 

(2) refuge boundary and future land 

acquisition; (3) forest and fire 

management and education; (4) cane 

break restoration; (5) invasive species 

control; (6) climate change; (7) 

partnerships; (8) air and water quality; 

(9) protection of cultural resources; (10) 

urban development; (11) law 

enforcement; (12) public access; (13) 

wildlife-dependent recreation; (14) 

camping; and (15) facilities, staffing, 

and funding needs. 

CCP Alternatives, Including Our 

Proposed Alternative 

We developed four alternatives for 

managing the refuge and chose 

Alternative B as the proposed 

alternative. A full description of each 

alternative is in the Draft CCP/EA. We 

summarize each alternative below. 

Alternative A—No Action Alternative 

Under Alternative A, we would 

continue to monitor and manage the 

red-cockaded woodpecker population to 

achieve our goal for this endangered
