DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Bureau of Land Management

Information Collections Submitted to

the Office of Management and Budget

for Review Under the Paperwork

Reduction Act

The proposal for collection of

information listed below has been

submitted to the Office of Management

and Budget for approval under the

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction

Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). An

expedited review has been requested in

accordance with the Act, since allowing

for the normal review period would

adversely affect the public interest for

the reasons given below. Approval has

been requested by May 1, 1995.

Comments and suggestions on the

proposal should be made directly to the

bureau clearance officer and to the

Office of Management and Budget,

Paperwork Reduction Project (1004–

0011), Washington, D.C. 20503,

telephone 202–395–7340.

Title: Jobs-in-the-Woods Employment

Evaluation

OMB approval number:

Abstract: Four items of information will

be requested in each Jobs-in-theWoods contract issued, for the

contractor to respond to at the close

of the contract:

(1) Number of workers employed on

the contract including managers,

supervisors and support.

(2) Number of days these workers

worked on the contract (total based

on an eight hour work day).

(3) Total amount of wages and

benefits paid to these workers.

(4) Number of workers, if any,

considered to be displaced timber

workers.

The information collected will be

used by Federal land management

agencies, Department-level officials in

the Departments of Agriculture and

Interior, White House officials, and

Congress to gauge the effectiveness in

achieving the intent of Federal

appropriations for the Jobs-in-theWoods program. The consequence of

not having the information is that the

outcome of the Jobs-in-the-Woods

program will remain unknown and

speculative. Adjustments to the program

cannot be knowledgeably made in the

absence of this information.

Reason for expedited review: To be able

to include the contract clause into all

Jobs-in-the-Woods contracts

beginning in Fiscal Year 1995.

Bureau form number: Not applicable

Frequency: Once

Description of respondents: Businesses

awarded Jobs-in-the-Woods contracts

under the President’s Northwest

Economic Adjustment Initiative.

Estimated completion time: One half

hour

Expanded Moxa Arch Area Natural Gas

Development Project, Sweetwater,

Lincoln, and Uinta Counties, WY;

Availability of Draft Environmental

Impact Statement

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior—Lead Agency; Bureau of

Reclamation, Interior—Cooperating

Agency.

ACTION: Notice of availability of Draft

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land

Management (BLM) announces the

availability of the Expanded Moxa Arch

Area Natural Gas Development Project

Draft EIS which analyzes the

environmental consequences of the

Moxa Arch operators proposal to

continue to drill additional

development wells in their leased

acreage within the Moxa Arch oil and

gas development area of southwestern

Wyoming. The Moxa analysis area

includes portions of western

Sweetwater, southwestern Lincoln, and

northeastern Uinta Counties, Wyoming.

The project area is generally located

within Townships 15 through 23 North,

Ranges 111 through 113 West, 6th

Principal Meridian. The area is accessed

by Interstate 80 and U.S. Highway 30.

Access to the interior of the Moxa

analysis area is provided by an

extensive road network developed to

service prior and on-going drilling and

production activities.

DATES: Comments on the draft EIS will

be accepted for 45 days following the

date that the Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) publishes their Notice of

Availability in the Federal Register. The

EPA notice is expected to be published

on April 28, 1995. There are presently

no plans to hold a public hearing on the

Expanded Moxa Arch Area Natural Gas

Development Project draft EIS because

of apparent lack of unresolved

substantial environmental controversy

concerning the proposed project.

Reviewers are encouraged to visit the

local BLM offices in Cheyenne, Rock

Springs, and Kemmerer, Wyoming, and

talk with the managers about any

concerns. If enough people indicate a

desire to testify by returning the tear-out

sheet provided in the draft EIS, a public

hearing(s) will be scheduled.

Information on the hearing(s) will be

published in State and local newspapers

and other media sources, and direct

mailing to the recipients of the draft EIS

to give the public enough notice.

ADDRESSES: Comments on the draft EIS

should be sent to Bureau of Land

Management, Bill McMahan (Project

Coordinator), P.O. Box 1869, Rock

Springs, WY 82902–1869.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The draft

EIS analyzes a proposed action, one

development alternative, and the no

action alternative. The proposal by the

Moxa Arch operators is to continue to

drill additional development wells in

their leased acreage within the Moxa

Arch oil and gas development area of

southwestern Wyoming. The Moxa Arch

operators include Amoco Production

Company, Union Pacific Resources

Company, Wexpro/Celsius Energy

Company, Bannon Energy, Marathon Oil

Company, Presidio Exploration, and

other companies (collectively referred to

as the Moxa Operators). Lands

associated with the additional drilling

program include those previously

analyzed in the Amoco Production

Company Moxa Arch Natural Gas

Production Environmental Assessment

(EA) and Decision Record (DR) (USDI–

BLM 1991) and the supplemental EA

and DR to the Amoco Production

Company Moxa Arch Natural Gas

Production Project (USDI–BLM 1992).

Additional areas analyzed in the EIS

include lands north and south of the

area analyzed in the previous EAs. The

additional area combined with the lands

analyzed in the previous two

environmental analysis documents form

the Expanded Moxa Arch Natural Gas

Development (Moxa) analysis area

(approximately 476,261 acres).

The Moxa analysis area includes

portions of western Sweetwater,

southwestern Lincoln, and northeastern

Uinta Counties, Wyoming. The project

area is generally located within

Townships 15 through 23 North, Ranges

111 through 113 West, 6th Principal

Meridian. The area is accessed by
