Persons interested in reviewing

environmental documents for the

proposals listed above or obtaining

information about EA’s and FONSI’s

prepared for activities on the Gulf of

Mexico OCS are encouraged to contact

the MMS office in the Gulf of Mexico

OCS Region.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The MMS

prepares EA’s and FONSI’s for

proposals which relate to exploration

for and the development/production of

oil and gas resources on the Gulf of

Mexico OCS. The EA’s examine the

potential environmental effects of

activities described in the proposals and

present MMS conclusions regarding the

significance of those effects.

Environmental Assessments are used as

a basis for determining whether or not

approval of the proposals constitutes

major Federal actions that significantly

affect the quality of the human

environment in the sense of NEPA

Section 102(2)(C). A FONSI is prepared

in those instances where the MMS finds

that approval will not result in

significant effects on the quality of the

human environment. The FONSI briefly

presents the basis for that finding and

includes a summary or copy of the EA.

This notice constitutes the public

notice of availability of environmental

documents required under the NEPA

Regulations.

Title: Gas Well Data—Survey of HeliumBearing Natural Gas

OMB approval number: 1032–0112

Abstract: Respondents supply

information which will be used by the

U.S. Bureau of Mines, Division of

Helium Field Operations, to evaluate

the helium resources of the United

States. This evaluation helps assure a

continued supply of the valuable

natural resource to meet essential

Government needs. Results of the gas

analyses, along with the data

supplied, are published to provide

valuable information to industry and

to the public when those data are

released by the supplier.

Bureau form number: 6–1579–A

Frequency: Annually

Description of respondents: Owners and

operators of helium-bearing natural

gas wells and transmission lines.

BILLING CODE 4310–53–M

Bureau of Reclamation

Navajo Unit, Colorado River Storage

Project, Colorado-New Mexico

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of environmental scoping

meetings.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National

Environmental Policy Act and agency

policy, the Bureau of Reclamation, in

coordination with the Biology

Committee for the San Juan River

Recovery Implementation Program, will

hold three environmental scoping

meetings in March. The purpose of the

meetings is to obtain public comment

on a proposal to reduce winter flow

releases from Navajo Dam. The Biology

Committee has recommended that

winter (November 1 through February

28) flow releases be reduced from 500

cubic feet per second (cfs) to 250 cfs,

beginning in the winter of 1995. This

reduced flow reflects average winter

flows prior to the construction of Navajo

Dam (1931–1962). This flow reduction

is expected to result in a 600–650 cfs

flow at Bluff, Utah. If unusually dry

conditions occur, river flows would not

be allowed to go below 500 cfs at that

point in the river. The reduction in

wintertime flows will allow more water

to be stored during winter periods,

provide a greater potential for the

occurrence of spring spills, and a longer

duration of those spills. These seasonal

flood events are assumed to be

beneficial to the maintenance of

downstream endangered fish

populations.

DATES: The scoping meetings will be

held on:
