Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 18 / Friday, January 26, 1996 / Notices 2481

Food and Consumer Service

Information Collection Requirements

Submitted for Public Comment and

Recommendation

AGENCY: Food and Consumer Service,

USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the

Food and Consumer Service (FCS) is

publishing for public comment a

summary of a proposed information

collection regarding Form FCS–583,

Employment and Training (E&T)

Program Report (OMB 0584–0339).

Comments will be included in the

request for Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) approval and will

become a matter of public record.

DATES: Written comments and

recommendations for the proposed

information collection must be received

by March 26, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Send comments and

requests for copies of the form and

instructions to the Work Program

Section, Program Design Branch,

Program Development Division, Food

and Consumer Service, USDA, 3101

Park Center Drive, Room 716,

Alexandria, VA 22302. Comments are

invited on: (a) whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of the

functions of the agency, including

whether the information will have

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information

including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used; (c)

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the

burden of the collection of information

on those who are to respond, including

through the use of appropriate

automated, electronic, mechanical, or

other technological collection

techniques or other forms of information

technology.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The

Work Program Section, FCS, at (703)

305–2762.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Type of

Information Collection Request:

Extension of an information collection

currently approved by OMB that will

expire on January 31, 1996. The agency

wishes to extend the approval past the

current expiration date without making

any material change in the collection

instrument, instructions, or frequency of

collection. Readers should be aware that

changes that would impact this

reporting burden are being discussed as

part of the welfare reform debate

currently underway. Should any of the

proposed legislative changes pass soon,

it is expected that the reporting burden

associated with the Food Stamp

Employment and Training Program will

change. Unfortunately, it is not known

what the changes will be or when they

may be effective. The agency would

prefer to wait for the legislative changes

to be decided before it takes action on

the extension of the current reporting

burden. However, the current burden

will expire too soon for that to happen.

Therefore, the agency is proceeding

with the activity necessary to extend the

current reporting burden, but cautions

readers that changes are likely in the

near future.

Title of Information Collection: E&T

Program Report. Form Number: FCS–

583. Use: Title 7 CFR 273.7(c)(6)

requires State agencies to submit

quarterly E&T Program reports

containing monthly figures for

participation in the program. The FCS–

583 report includes the number of

participants newly work registered;

work registrants exempted from the E&T

Program; participants who volunteered

and began an approved E&T component;

E&T mandatory participants who began

an approved E&T component; work

registrants sent a Notice of Adverse

Action for failure to comply with E&T

Program requirements; and the number

of applicants denied food stamp

certification or recertification for failure

to comply with an E&T Program

component. The first quarterly report

includes the number of work registered

persons in a state as of October of the

new fiscal year. The final quarterly

report contains the number of work

registrants exempted as part of a

category of persons during the course of

the year separated by the specific

reasons for the exemptions; and the

number of participants (E&T Program

mandatory and volunteers) placed in

each E&T component offered by the

State agency. This collection of

information is used by FCS to determine

whether States have met their mandated

performance standards. Frequency: The

FCS–583 report must be completed and

submitted to FCS on a quarterly basis by

the 45th day following the end of the

quarter. Affected Public: State and local

government. Number of Respondents:

3,520,853. Total Annual Burden Hours:

258,416.

BILLING CODE 3410–11–M

Supplement to the Final Environmental

Impact Statement for the Mt. Hood

Meadows Ski Area, Mt. Hood National

Forest, Hood River County, Oregon

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice of intent to supplement

a final environmental impact statement.

SUMMARY: The USDA, Forest Service,

will prepare a supplement to the final

environmental impact statement (EIS)

for the Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Area on

the Hood River Ranger District of the

Mt. Hood National Forest. The final EIS

and Record of Decision (ROD) for the

Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Area were

released in May 1991. The ROD was

reversed by the Regional Forester in

November 1991, based on inadequate

cultural analysis. In May 1995, Mt.

Hood Meadows Ski Resort submitted a

revised application for a new Master

Plan. The revised application proposes

to expand the existing day use ski area

to a full season ski/recreaction area with

increased capacity and permit area. It

also withdraws their previous proposal

to establish the ski area as a year-round

destination resort with overnight

housing. The alternatives will be revised

based on the new proposed action and

additional analysis that is conducted.

The environmental analysis will be

documented as a supplement to the

existing analysis. The decision on a new

master plan will be a conceptual

decision that amends the Mt. Hood
