Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 13 / Thursday, January 22, 2009 / Notices 4023 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 1. The 

permit applicant, Alaska Natural Gas 

Development Authority (ANGDA), is 

proposing to construct a 460-mile 

pipeline with a 20- to 24-inch hard pipe 

bidirectional line from Beluga, AK to 

Delta Junction, AK and a 10- to 15-inch 

soft line from Delta Junction to North 

Pole/Fairbanks, AK to deliver natural 

gas from the Beluga gas fields to interior 

Alaska. The proposed route and 

adjacent service area would begin in 

Beluga, AK, continuing through the 

community of Palmer, AK then easterly 

along the Glenn Highway, with a 

deviation northwardly through Chitna 

Pass to Glennallen, AK. It would then 

turn north following the Richardson 

Highway paralleling the Trans Alaska 

Pipeline System (TAPS) route to the city 

of Delta Junction, AK. The pipe would 

then turn west continuing along the 

TAPS route to a connection point near 

the Golden Valley Electric Association 

(GVEA) power plant in North Pole, AK. 

The pipeline would be buried 

throughout the corridor. Three 

compressor stations are proposed at 

Palmer, Glennallen, and North Pole, AK. 

2. The right of way for the proposed 

pipeline corridor is owned by numerous 

entities. The largest land owners along 

the proposed route include the Bureau 

of Land Management, the Military (Fort 

Greely, Fort Wainwright and Eielson Air 

Force Base), Native Allotments/ 

Corporations, private land owners and 

the State of Alaska. 

3. Additional alternatives to the 

applicant’s proposal include four 

routing segments variations and one 

design alternative (A map depicting the 

location of each alternate route is 

available at the EIS Web site): 

a. Route Alternative 1: Utilization of 

a Chugach Electric easement from 

Beluga, AK across the Susitna River to 

Palmer, AK rather than the ENSTAR 

pipeline route. This route would deviate 

northeastwardly from the proposed 

route west of the Susitna River and 

would realign with the proposed route 

south of Knik, AK. 

b. Route Alternative 2: Employ full 

utilization of the Glenn Highway route 

from Sutton, AK to Eureka, AK rather 

than deviating through Chitna Pass 

north of Chickaloon, AK. This route 

would deviate from the proposed route 

at Sutton, AK and follow the Glenn 

Highway, realigning with the proposed 

route at approximately milepost 128 of 

the Glenn Highway, southwest of 

Nelchina, AK. 

c. Route Alternative 3: Utilization of 

the TAPS corridor from Delta Junction, 

AK to North Pole, AK as an alternate 

route to bring gas directly to the GVEA 

power plant. 

d. Route Alternative 4: Utilization of 

the Parks Highway route from 

Fairbanks, AK to Wasilla, AK rather that 

use of the Glenn Highway route. 

e. Design Alternative 1: Use of 4-inch 

steel tubing for the segment from Delta 

Junction, AK to North Pole, AK rather 

than plastic tubing. 

4. Scoping: a. The Corps invites full 

public participation to promote open 

communication on the issues 

surrounding the proposal. All Federal, 

State, Tribal, local agencies, and other 

persons or organizations that have an 

interest are urged to participate in the 

NEPA scoping process. These meetings 

will be held to receive public input on 

the proposed purpose and need of the 

project, to identify significant issues and 

to discuss proposed alternatives. The 

scoping process will help to further 

explain the purpose and need plus the 

alternatives to be reviewed in the DEIS. 

The project scoping period will begin on 

February 1, 2009 and end on March 15, 

2009. 

b. The DEIS will analyze the potential 

social, economic, and environmental 

impacts to the affected areas. The 

following major issues will be analyzed 

in depth in the DEIS: The natural gas 

delivery system construction and 

operation and its affect upon the 

surrounding communities; essential fish 

habitat; threatened and endangered 

species including critical habitat; 

cultural resources; socioeconomics; 

alternatives; secondary and cumulative 

impacts. 

c. The Corps will serve as the lead 

Federal agency in the preparation of the 

DEIS. The Bureau of Land Management 

is participating as a cooperating agency. 

5. The scoping meetings are 

tentatively planned for the following 

dates and locations and each meeting 

with include an open-house from 5 

p.m.–6 p.m. and a project presentation 

and questions and answer session from 

6 p.m.–8 p.m. (Please consult the above 

referenced Web site for any changes and 

additional information including the 

scoping summary): 

a. Anchorage: March 4, 2009 at 

Sheraton Hotel (401 East 6th Avenue, 

Anchorage, AK). 

b. Wasilla: March 5, 2009 at Central 

Mat-Su Public Safety Building (101 

West Swanson Drive, Wasilla). 

c. Glennallen: February 24, 2009 at 

Tazlina Village Hall (Mile 110.5 

Richardson Highway, Glennallen, AK). 

d. Delta Junction: February 25, 2009 at 

Delta Junction Community Center (2288 

Deborah Street, Delta Junction, AK). 

e. Fairbanks/North Pole: February 26, 

2009 Wedgewood Resort (212 

Wedgewood Drive, Fairbanks, AK). 

6. It is anticipated that the DEIS will 

be available for public review in the fall 

of 2009.

23, 2009. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires 

that the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) provide interested 

Federal agencies and the public an early

Federal law, or substantially interfere 

with any agency’s ability to perform its 

statutory obligations. The Leader, 

Regulatory Information Management 

Services, Office of Management, 

publishes that notice containing 

proposed information collection 

requests prior to submission of these 

requests to OMB. Each proposed 

information collection, grouped by 

office, contains the following: (1) Type 

of review requested, e.g. new, revision, 

extension, existing or reinstatement; (2) 

Title; (3) Summary of the collection; (4) 

Description of the need for, and 

proposed use of, the information; (5) 

Respondents and frequency of 

collection; and (6) Reporting and/or 

Recordkeeping burden. OMB invites 

public comment. 

The Department of Education is 

especially interested in public comment 

addressing the following issues: (1) Is 

this collection necessary to the proper 

functions of the Department; (2) will 

this information be processed and used 

in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate

Frequency: On Occasion. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

household; Businesses or other forprofit.

Burden: 

Responses: 400. 

Burden Hours: 133. 

Abstract: The purpose for including 

the Career Tool and I’m Going Guide 

features is to provide students with real 

world, relatable examples of current 

college students who were able to 

overcome obstacles in order to reach a 

postsecondary education. This feature 

builds on College.gov’s objective to 

provide students with the inspiration 

and hopes to see that a college 

education is possible for everyone 

(especially targeting underrepresented 

populations). In the I’m Going Guide 

feature, students can select current 

college students to view their profiles, 

see why and how they went to college, 

and read the college student’s advice for 

high school students. Each student’s 

profile would include their first name, 

photo, major and brief description about 

the student, such as where they are 

studying, and tips for other students. 

For the Career Tool feature, the site 

would show 24 different college grads at 

a time, but the goal would be to have 

about 75 that we could ‘‘shuffle’’ on the 

tool’s display. Each college grad’s 

profile would provide their first name, 

major, career field, and advice for 

students interested in their field of 

study. This information clearance will 

enable the Department to college grad 

profiles for including in the Career Tool 

and I’m Going Guide.
