Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: 

We have identified two non-hour cost 

burdens, both of which are cost recovery 

fees. Note that the actual fee amounts 

are specified in 30 CFR 250.125, which 

provide a consolidated table of all the 

fees required under the 30 CFR part 250 

regulations. The non-hour cost burden 

total in this collection of information is 

an estimated $600,065. The cost 

burdens are for: (1) Filing fees 

associated with submitting requests for 

approval of simple applications 

(applications to temporarily reroute 

production (for a duration not to exceed 

6 months); production tests prior to 

pipeline construction; departures 

related to meter proving, well testing, or 

sampling frequency ($1,271 per 

application)) or, (2) submitting a request 

for approval of a complex application 

(creation of new facility measurement 

points (FMPs); association of leases or 

units with existing FMPs; inclusion of 

production from additional structures; 

meter updates which add buyback gas 

meters or pigging meters; other 

applications which request deviations 

from the approved allocation 

procedures ($3,760 per application)). 

We have not identified any other nonhour paperwork cost burdens associated 

with this collection of information. 

Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA 

(44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an 

agency may not conduct or sponsor a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. Until OMB approves a 

collection of information, you are not 

obligated to respond. 

Comments: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) 

requires each agency ‘‘* * * to provide 

notice * * * and otherwise consult 

with members of the public and affected 

agencies concerning each proposed 

collection of information * * *’’ 

Agencies must specifically solicit 

comments to: (a) Evaluate whether the 

proposed collection of information is 

necessary for the agency to perform its 

duties, including whether the 

information is useful; (b) evaluate the 

accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information; (c) enhance the quality, 

usefulness, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

minimize the burden on the 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

To comply with the public 

consultation process, on November 3, 

2009, we published a Federal Register 

notice (74 FR 56858) announcing that 

we would submit this ICR to OMB for 

approval. The notice provided the 

required 60-day comment period. In 

addition, § 250.199 provides the OMB 

control number for the information 

collection requirements imposed by the 

30 CFR 250 regulations. The regulation 

also informs the public that they may 

comment at any time on the collections 

of information and provides the address 

to which they should send comments. 

We have received no comments in 

response to these efforts. 

If you wish to comment in response 

to this notice, you may send your 

comments to the offices listed under the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice. The 

OMB has up to 60 days to approve or 

disapprove the information collection 

but may respond after 30 days. 

Therefore, to ensure maximum 

consideration, OMB should receive 

public comments by June 18, 2010. 

Public Availability of Comments: 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

General Management Plan; Joshua 

Tree National Park; San Bernardino 

and Riverside Counties, CA; Notice of 

Intent To Prepare Environmental 

Impact Statement 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42 

U.S.C. 4332(C), the National Park 

Service is updating the General 

Management Plan (GMP) for Joshua Tree 

National Park, California. The new GMP 

will update the overall direction for the 

park approved in 1995, refining goals 

and objectives for managing the park 

over the next 15 to 20 years. The GMP 

will prescribe desired resource 

conditions and visitor experiences that 

are to be achieved and maintained 

throughout the park based on such 

factors as the park’s purpose, 

significance, special mandates and the 

body of laws and policies directing park 

management and resource analysis, 

other designations such as 

establishment of 594,502 acres by 

Congress as Wilderness, and the 

spectrum of public expectations and 

concerns. The GMP also will outline the 

kinds of resource management 

activities, visitor activities, and 

developments that would be appropriate 

and sustainable in the park in the 

future. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A range of 

reasonable alternatives for managing the 

park will be developed by the National 

Park Service (NPS) through this 

conservation planning and 

environmental impact analysis process, 

and which will include, at a minimum, 

no-action and agency-preferred 

alternatives. Major issues the GMP will 

address include changes in visitor use 

patterns, adequacy and sustainability of 

existing visitor facilities and park 

operations, management of natural and 

cultural resources, collaboration and 

partnership opportunities, Wilderness 

stewardship goals, evaluation of park 

boundaries, and pro-active planning in 

response to climate change. The 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

will evaluate the potential 

environmental consequences of the 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
28056 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 96 / Wednesday, May 19, 2010 / Notices 

alternative management approaches and 

identify all possible measures to avoid 

or minimize harm; an ‘‘environmentally 

preferred’’ alternative will also be 

identified. 

Early in this scoping period the NPS 

will distribute a GMP newsletter to 

neighboring communities, state and 

federal agencies, associated American 

Indian tribes, County commissioners, 

local organizations, researchers and 

institutions, the Congressional 

delegation, and other interested 

members of the public. In addition, five 

public scoping meetings will be hosted 

during May 17–21, 2010, to provide 

opportunities for interested persons to 

learn about the proposed update of the 

GMP. Specific times and locations will 

be announced in the local and regional 

media, and details will be included in 

the GMP newsletter and also posted on 

the project Web site http:// 

www.nps.gov/jotr (details may also be 

obtained by telephone, as noted below). 

Scoping Comments and Dates: 

General park information requests or 

requests to be added to the GMP mailing 

list should be directed to Karin 

Messaros, Management Assistant, 

Joshua Tree National Park, Joshua, 

74485 National Park Drive, Twentynine 

Palms, California 92277. Telephone: 

(706) 367–5512. General information 

about Joshua Tree National Park is also 

available on the internet at http:// 

www.nps.gov/jotr. If you wish to 

provide relevant information or suggest 

any issues to be considered in updating 

the GMP, you may submit your

at Joshua Tree National Park, 74485 

National Park Drive, Twentynine Palms, 

California 92277, or deliver at any of the 

public meetings. All written comments 

must be postmarked or transmitted not 

later than August 31, 2010. Before 

including your address, phone number, 

e-mail address, or other personal 

identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

Decision Process: Following due 

consideration of all public and agency 

comments as may be forthcoming; a 

draft EIS/GMP will be prepared. 

Availability would be announced 

through the Federal Register as well as 

via direct mailing, Web site postings, 

and through local and regional press 

media. After an opportunity for public 

review, a final EIS/GMP would be 

prepared. As a delegated EIS, the official 

responsible for the final decision on the 

plan update is the Regional Director, 

Pacific West Region; subsequently the 

official responsible for implementation 

of the updated GMP would be the 

Superintendent, Joshua Tree National 

Park.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Cachuma 

Lake is an existing reservoir formed by 

Bradbury Dam, and located in Santa 

Barbara County, California. The dam, 

which provides irrigation, domestic, 

and municipal and industrial water 

supplies to the City of Santa Barbara, 

Goleta Water District, Montecito Water 

District, Carpinteria Valley Water 

District, and Santa Ynez River Water 

Conservation District, was constructed 

in the 1950s. The Cachuma Project has 

delivered an average of 25,000 acre-feet 

per year over the past 45 years and 

encompasses approximately 9,250 acres. 

In 1956, operation and maintenance of 

the Cachuma project was transferred 

from Reclamation to the Cachuma 

Operation and Maintenance Board. 

Reclamation still retains ownership of 

all project facilities and is responsible 

for the operation of the dam. The RMP 

will have a planning horizon of 20 

years. 

The new RMP would: (1) Ensure safe 

storage and timely delivery of highquality water to users while enhancing 

natural resources and recreational 

opportunities; (2) protect natural 

resources while educating the public 

about the value of good stewardship; (3) 

provide recreational opportunities to 

meet the demands of a growing, diverse 

population; (4) ensure recreational 

diversity and the quality of the 

experience; and (5) provide the updated 

management considerations for 

establishing a new management 

agreement with the managing partner. 

The Final EIS is a program-level 

analysis of the potential environmental 

impacts associated with adoption of the 

RMP. The Final EIS outlines the 

formulation and evaluation of 

alternatives designed to address these 

issues by representing the varied 

interests present at the Plan Area and 

identifies Alternative 2 (Enhancement) 

as the Preferred Alternative. The RMP is 

intended to be predominately selfmitigating through implementation of 

RMP management actions and 

strategies, and the EIS also includes
