burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond; including 

through the use of appropriate 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. 

This Notice also lists the following 

information: 

Title of Proposal: HUD Stakeholder 

Survey. 

OMB Control Number, if applicable: 

2501–New. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: The 

Department of Housing and Urban 

Development (HUD) hosts events with a 

variety of groups nationwide designed 

to educate stakeholders about HUD 

initiatives and policies. This data 

collection consists of a brief, optional 

survey to be completed in person at the 

end of each event. The information 

produced by the stakeholder surveys 

will allow HUD to measure the 

effectiveness of the stakeholder sessions 

and collect feedback on policy 

initiatives. The information can be used 

to shape policies, improve stakeholder 

events and make better use of HUD’s 

limited time with stakeholders. There 

are no similar surveys which allow for 

HUD to engage in a sustained, 

systematic collection of feedback from 

stakeholders on of a broad range of HUD 

initiatives and events. 

Agency form numbers, if applicable: 

None. 

Members of Affected Public: 

Stakeholder groups include (but are not 

limited to) public housing authorities, 

congressional members and staff, local 

government officials, assisted housing 

residents, HUD grantees, civil rights 

organizations, homeless advocacy 

organizations, the legal community, 

academics, organized labor 

representatives, HUD grantees, and 

members of the housing, nonprofit, 

philanthropic, business and faith-based 

sectors. 

Estimation of the total number of 

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection including number of 

respondents, frequency of response, and 

hours of response: 

Frequency of Submission: On 

occasion. 

Number of 

respondents 

Annual 

responses × Hours per response = Burden hours 

Reporting Burden .............................................................................. 3,150 1 0.1 315 

Total Estimated Burden Hours: 315. 

Status of the proposed information 

collection: New collection. 

Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, 

as amended. 

Dated: October 28, 2010.

Intergovernmental Affairs.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Reclamation 

Hydropower Resource Assessment at 

Existing Reclamation Facilities—Draft 

Report 

AGENCIES: Bureau of Reclamation, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability of the draft 

report. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Reclamation 

has made available for public review 

and comment the ‘‘Hydropower 

Resource Assessment at Existing 

Reclamation Facilities’’ (HRA) Draft 

Report. The HRA is an assessment of the 

economic and technical potential for 

hydropower development at existing 

Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) 

owned non-powered dams and 

structures. 

DATES: Submit written comments on the 

Draft Report by December 6, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Send written comments or 

requests for copies to Mr. Michael 

Pulskamp, Bureau of Reclamation, 

Denver Federal Center, Bldg. 67, P.O. 

Box 25007, Denver, Colorado 80225, or 

e-mail to mpulskamp@usbr.gov. 

The Draft Report is also accessible 

from the following Web site: http:// 

www.usbr.gov/power/. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Michael Pulskamp, 303–445–2931, 

mpulskamp@usbr.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Administration is committed to 

increasing the generation of 

environmentally sustainable, affordable 

hydropower for our national electricity 

supplies. Reclamation has 476 dams and 

8,116 miles of canals, and owns and 

operates 58 hydropower plants. On an 

annual basis, these plants produce an 

average of 40 billion kilowatt hours of 

electricity, enough to meet the entire 

electricity needs of over 9 million 

people on average, and provide the 

energy equivalent of more than 80 

million barrels of crude oil or about 48.4 

billion pounds of coal. Reclamation is 

the second largest producer of 

hydroelectric power in the United 

States, and is actively engaged in 

looking for opportunities to encourage 

development of additional hydropower 

capacity. 

In March 2010 Reclamation signed a 

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) 

with the Department of Energy and the 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The 

MOU focuses on ways to increase 

renewable energy generation by 

focusing on development of sustainable, 

low impact, and small hydropower 

projects. The MOU committed 

Reclamation to produce an updated list 

of facilities and sites best suited for 

projects to increase sustainable 

hydropower generation by October 

2010. The HRA provides information on 

potential hydropower development at 

existing Reclamation facilities that may 

warrant further study. 

The Draft Report does not make any 

recommendations for development of 

the sites included in the report. Instead, 

it provides an inventory of hydropower 

potential at existing Reclamation sites 

using broad energy and economic 

criteria. Reclamation is not undertaking 

a new dam construction initiative with 

this study, and is focused on identifying 

the hydropower potential of 

Reclamation’s existing structures. This 

resource assessment level study does 

not take the place of a site by site 

feasibility study. 

Public Disclosure 

Before including your name, 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.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

The Bureau of Ocean Energy 

Management, Regulation and 

Enforcement 

Environmental Documents Prepared 

for Proposed Oil, Gas, and Mineral 

Operations by the Gulf of Mexico Outer 

Continental Shelf (OCS) Region 

AGENCY: The Bureau of Ocean Energy 

Management, Regulation and 

Enforcement, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of the availability of 

environmental documents prepared for 

OCS mineral proposals by the Gulf of 

Mexico OCS Region. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Ocean Energy 

Management, Regulation and 

Enforcement (BOEMRE), in accordance 

with Federal Regulations that 

implement the National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA), announces the 

availability of NEPA-related SiteSpecific Environmental Assessments 

(SEA) and Findings of No Significant 

Impact (FONSI), prepared by BOEMRE 

for the following oil-, gas-, and mineralrelated activities proposed on the Gulf 

of Mexico. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Public Information Unit, Information 

Services Section at the number below. 

Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, 

Regulation and Enforcement, Gulf of 

Mexico OCS Region, Attention: Public 

Information Office (MS 5034), 1201 

Elmwood Park Boulevard, Room 114, 

New Orleans, Louisiana 70123–2394, or 

by calling 1–800–200–GULF. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BOEMRE 

prepares SEAs and FONSIs for 

proposals that relate to exploration, 

development, production, and transport 

of oil, gas, and mineral resources on the 

Federal OCS. These SEAs examine the 

potential environmental effects of 

activities described in the proposals and 

present BOEMRE conclusions regarding 

the significance of those effects. 

Environmental Assessments are used as 

a basis for determining whether or not 

approval of the proposals constitutes a 

major Federal action that significantly 

affects the quality of the human 

environment in accordance with NEPA 

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

in those instances where BOEMRE 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 SEA. 

This notice constitutes the public 

notice of availability of environmental 

documents required under the NEPA 

Regulations.
