SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Commercial Transportation of 

Equines for Slaughter. 

OMB Number: 0579-0160. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

approval of an information collection. 

Abstract: Under the Federal 

Agriculture Improvement and Reform 

Act of 1996 (‘‘the Farm Bill’’), Congress 

gave responsibility to the Secretary of 

Agriculture to regulate the commercial 

transportation within the United States 

of equines for slaughter. Sections 901- 

905 of the Farm Bill (7 U.S.C. 1901 note) 

authorized the Secretary to issue 

guidelines for the regulation of 

commercial transportation of equines 

for slaughter by persons regularly 

engaged in that activity within the 

United States. As a result of that 

authority, the Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, established regulations in 9 

CFR part 88, ‘‘Commercial 

Transportation of Equines for 

Slaughter.’’ 

The minimum standards cover, 

among other things, the food, water, and 

rest provided to such equines. The 

regulations require the owner/shipper of 

the equines to take certain actions in 

loading and transporting the equines 

and to certify that the commercial 

transportation meets certain 

requirements. Our regulations prohibit 

the commercial transportation to 

slaughter facilities of equines 

considered to be unfit for travel, the use 

of electric prods on such animals in 

commercial transportation to slaughter, 

and the use of double-deck trailers for 

commercial transportation of equines to 

slaughtering facilities. 

These regulations require the use of 

two information collection activities: (1) 

The preparation of an owner-shipper 

certificate for each equine transported to 

slaughter and (2) the collection of 

business information from any 

individual or other entity found to be 

transporting horses to a slaughtering 

facility. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities for an additional 3 

years. 

The purpose of this notice is to solicit 

comments from the public (as well as 

affected agencies) concerning our 

information collection. These comments 

will help us: 

(1) Evaluate whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, through use, as 

appropriate, of automated, electronic, 

mechanical, and other collection 

technologies; e.g., permitting electronic 

submission of responses. 

Estimate of burden: The public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 

0.388552238 hours per response. 

Respondents: Owners and shippers of 

slaughter horses; owners/operators of 

slaughtering facilities; drivers of 

transport vehicles. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 300. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 22.333333. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 6,700. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 2,603 hours. (Due to 

averaging, the total annual burden hours 

may not equal the product of the annual 

number of responses multiplied by the 

reporting burden per response.) 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

also become a matter of public record. 

Done in Washington, DC, this 3rd day 

of February 2010.

6626 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 27 / Wednesday, February 10, 2010 / Notices 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 14- 

acre Kitty Hawk Administrative Site is 

located in Cedar City at 1750 West Kitty 

Hawk Drive. The site is owned by the 

USDA-Forest Service and jointly 

occupied by the Dixie National Forest, 

the USDI-Bureau of Land Management 

Cedar City District Office and the USDINational Park Service. The site is zoned 

as I&M1 (Industrial and Manufacturing). 

Management of the site is in compliance 

with City zoning as well as State and 

Federal regulations regarding 

administrative sites. The site has been 

developed over the past 30 years and 

currently has four permanent buildings, 

several parking areas, several sheds for 

equipment storage and open areas 

designated for a variety of vehicle and 

equipment storage. 

Recent review indicates the need for 

a Master Development Plan to guide 

future development of the site. 

Preliminary analysis found that the 

presence of Utah prairie dogs (a 

Threatened species) on the site 

warranted an environmental impact 

statement of the new Master 

Development Plan. 

The Proposed Action is a Master 

Development Plan (MDP) for the 

existing 14-acre administrative site. The 

MDP will detail planned facilities, other 

development and uses for the site into 

the foreseeable future. 

Existing facilities include an 

Interagency Fire Center, Fire Cache, Old 

Fire Center/Future Building Pad and 

Fire Engine Building. 

New facilities to be constructed 

include additions to the Interagency 

Fire Center, five new buildings (engine 

building, vehicle wash, HAZMAT 

storage, maintenance shop and 

equipment building. 

Part of the site will be hardened for 

outside storage for ATV’s, equipment, 

and supplies. Six large parking lots will 

also be developed. 

Possible Alternatives: Two or more 

alternatives will be considered in the 

analysis. No action. Under this 

alternative, the existing administrative 

site will remain with no further 

development. This alternative will be 

fully evaluated and described. 

Proposed Action (as described above). 

Additional Alternatives—Additional 

alternatives may be developed in 

response to issues and resource 

conditions evaluated through the 

analysis. 

Responsible Official: The responsible 

official for this EIS and the Record of 

Decision is: Robert G. MacWhorter, 

Forest Supervisor, Dixie National 

Forest, 1789 Wedgewood Lane, Cedar 

City, Utah 84721; FAX: (435) 865–3791. 

Nature of Decision To Be Made: The 

Responsible Official will decide 

whether the proposed Master 

Development Plan would be adopted 

and the site developed accordingly. 

Scoping Process: Public participation 

was initiated through scoping in 

December, 2009. A scoping notice was 

sent to individuals and organizations 

who are potentially affected parties and 

those that have expressed interest in 

projects. Comments and issues were 

received in response to scoping. 

Scoping will continue. Public 

participation is especially important 

during scoping and review of the draft 

EIS. Individuals, organizations, Federal, 

State, and local agencies who are 

interested in or affected by the decision 

are invited to participate in the scoping 

process. This information will be used 

in the preparation of the draft EIS. 

Preliminary Issue. The following issue 

was identified through public scoping 

and internal resource analyses: 

The site has Utah prairie dog habitat 

and a colony of prairie dogs. This is a 

Threatened species listed under the 

Endangered Species Act. Consultation 

with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 

have concluded that the prairie dog 

habitat will be adversely affected by the 

planned developments. Mitigation for 

the habitat loss will be developed 

during further consultation with 

USFWS. 

Comments Requested. Comments will 

continue to be received and considered 

throughout the analysis process. 

Comments received in response to this 

notice and through scoping, including 

names and addresses of those who 

comment, will be considered part of the 

public record of this proposed action 

and will be available for public 

inspection. Additionally, pursuant to 7 

CFR 1.27(d), any person may request the 

agency to withhold a submission from 

the public record by showing how the 

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 

permits such confidentiality. Persons 

requesting such confidentiality should 

be aware that, under the FOIA, 

confidentiality may be granted in only 

very limited circumstances, such as to 

protect trade secrets. The Forest Service 

will inform the requester of the agency’s 

decision regarding the request for 

confidentiality, and where the request is 

denied, the agency will return the 

submission and notify the requester that 

the comments may be resubmitted with 

or without name and address within a 

specified number of days. 

Early Notice of Importance of Public 

Participation in Subsequent 

Environmental Review: A draft 

environmental impact statement will be 

prepared for comment. The draft EIS is 

expected to be filed with the EPA 

(Environmental Protection Agency) and 

to be available for public review. At that 

time the EPA will publish a notice of 

availability of the draft EIS in the 

Federal Register. The comment period 

for the draft environmental impact 

statement will be forty-five days from 

the date the EPA’s notice of availability 

appears in the Federal Register. 

Comments on the draft EIS should be as 

specific as possible and may address the 

adequacy of the statement or the merits 

of the alternatives discussed (Reviewers 

may wish to refer to the Council on 

Environmental Quality Regulations for 

implementing the procedural provisions 

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act at 40 CFR 1503.3 in addressing 

these points). 

The Forest Service believes, at this 

early stage, it is important to give 

reviewers notice of several court rulings 

related to public participation in the 

environmental review process. First, 

reviewers of draft environmental impact 

statements must structure their 

participation in the environmental 

review of the proposal so that it is 

meaningful and alerts an agency to the 

reviewers’ position and contentions. 

Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp. v. 

NRDC, 435 U.S. 519, 553 (1978). Also, 

environmental objections that could 

have been raised at the draft 

environmental impact statement stage 

but that are not raised until after 

completion of the final environmental 

impact statement may be waived or 

dismissed by the courts. City of Angoon 

v. Hodel (9th Circuit, 1986), and 

Wisconsin Heritages, Inc. v. Harris, 490 

F. Supp. 1334. 1338 (E.D. Wis. 1980). 

Because of these court rulings, it is very 

important that those interested in this 

proposed action participate by the close 

of the 45-day comment period so that 

substantive comments and objections 

are made available to the Forest Service 

at the time it can meaningfully consider 

them and respond to them in the final 

environmental impact statement. 

Comments submitted anonymously will 

be accepted and considered; however, 

those who submit anonymous 

comments will not have standing to 

appeal the subsequent decision under 

36 CFR Parts 215. To assist the Forest 

Service in identifying and considering 

issues and concerns about the proposed 

action, comments on the draft 

environmental impact statement should 

be as specific as possible. It is also 

helpful if comments refer to specific 

pages or chapters of the draft statement. 

Comments may also address the 

adequacy of the statement or the merits 

of the alternatives formulated and 


sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 27 / Wednesday, February 10, 2010 / Notices 6627 

discussed in the statement. Reviewers 

may wish to refer to the Council on 

Environmental Quality Regulations for 

implementing the procedural provisions 

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act at 40 CFR 1503.3 in addressing 

these points. 

In the final EIS, the Forest Service is 

required to respond to substantive 

comments and responses received 

during the comment period that pertain 

to the environmental consequences 

discussed in the draft EIS and 

applicable laws, regulations, and 

policies considered in making a 

decision regarding the proposal. The 

Responsible Official will document the 

decision and rationale for the decision 

in a Record of Decision. The final EIS 

is scheduled for completion in 

September, 2010. The decision will be 

subject to review under Forest Service 

Appeal Regulations.
