SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Visitor Surveys for Cape 

Hatteras National Seashore. 

Bureau Form Number: None. 

OMB Number: 1024–0258. 

Expiration Date: 11/30/2009. 

Type of Request: Renewal, with 

change, of an existing collection. 

Description of Need: The National 

Park Service (NPS) is requesting 

renewal of an existing information 

collection that received emergency 

clearance on May 21, 2009. RTI 

International, under contract with Cape 

Hatteras National Seashore, has 

completed a survey of local businesses 

under the emergency approval and 

began conducting a visitor survey at 

Cape Hatteras National Seashore 

(CAHA). The current request for a 

renewal is to continue the visitor 

survey. The survey gathers information 

that will be used in the planning and 

rulemaking processes for CAHA’s OffRoad Vehicle (ORV) Management Plan/ 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

and ORV regulation. The continuation 

of the visitor survey with the current 

renewal request will allow the NPS to 

have a seasonally representative sample 

of CAHA visitors. By having seasonal 

representation, the NPS will be better 

able to have a complete picture of 

visitors and visitor preferences for park 

management and for the final economic 

analysis. 

Automated data collection: No 

automated data collection will be used. 

Information will be collected via on-site 

surveys. 

Description of respondents: Visitors to 

Cape Hatteras National Seashore. 

Estimated average number of 

respondents: 2,000 (1,200 respondents & 

800 non-respondents) 

Estimated average number of 

responses: 2,000 (1,200 respondents & 

800 non-respondents) 

Estimated average burden hours per 

response: 10 minutes for respondents & 

2 minutes for non-respondents. 

Frequency of Response: 1 time per 

respondent. 

Estimated total annual reporting 

burden: 66 hours. 

Comments are invited on: (1) The 

practical utility of the information being 

gathered; (2) the accuracy of the burden 

hour estimate; (3) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (4) 

ways to minimize the burden to 

respondents, including use of 

automated information techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, e-mail address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment—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.

Coastal Impact Assistance Program 

(CIAP) Allocations, Fiscal Years 2009– 

2010 

AGENCY: Minerals Management Service 

(MMS), Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability of 

Recipient Allocation Amounts for Fiscal 

Years 2009 and 2010. 

SUMMARY: The MMS is issuing this 

notice to advise the public of the 

availability of the individual allocation 

amounts available to each of the 73 

eligible recipients of the CIAP. The 

amounts are an important piece of 

information to be used by the States and 

Coastal Political Subdivisions (CPSs) in 

the completion of CIAP grant 

applications. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Colleen Benner, Minerals Management 

Service, 381 Elden Street, Mail Stop 

4040, Herndon, Virginia 20170. You 

may also contact Ms. Benner by 

telephone at (703) 787–1710. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Act) created 

CIAP by amending Section 31 of the 

Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands 

Act (43 U.S.C. 1356(a)). Under the 

provisions of the Act, the authority and 

responsibility for the management of 

CIAP is vested in the Secretary of the 

Interior (Secretary). The Secretary has 

delegated this authority and 

responsibility to MMS. In the February 

16, 2007, continuing resolution, 

Congress approved a 3 percent 

appropriation of the CIAP funds to be 

used by MMS to administer the 

program. Under Section 384 of the Act, 

MMS shall disburse $250 million for 

each fiscal year 2007 through 2010 to 

eligible producing States and CPSs. 

Each eligible State is allocated its share 

based on the qualified OCS revenues 

generated off of its coast in proportion 

to the total qualified OCS revenues 

generated off the coast of all eligible 

States. In order to receive CIAP funds, 

States are required to submit a coastal 

impact assistance plan (Plan) that MMS 

must approve prior to disbursing any 

funds. All funds shall be disbursed 

through a grant process. The guidance 

has been developed by MMS to provide 

the information necessary for States to 

develop a Plan and submit it to MMS. 

The allotment amounts and guidelines 

may be found on the MMS Web site at 

http://www.mms.gov/offshore/

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to undertake 

scoping for an environmental document 

(Environmental Assessment or 

Environmental Impact Statement) 

related to a habitat conservation plan for 

the proposed Beacon Solar Energy 

Project. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), advise the 

public that we intend to conduct public 

scoping under the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) to gather information necessary 

to help develop a NEPA document in 

connection with a proposed Habitat 

Conservation Plan (HCP) for the Beacon 

Solar Energy Project (Beacon HCP), 

currently under development by Beacon 

Solar LLC (the applicant). To be 

implemented near California City, in 

Kern County, California, the proposed 

Beacon HCP forms part of an incidental 

take permit application under the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (Act). The requested permit 

term is 45 years. We provide this notice 

to obtain suggestions, comments, and 

useful information from other agencies 

and the public on the scope of the 

document, including the significant 

issues deserving of study, the range of 

alternatives, and the range of impacts to 

be considered. 

DATES: We must receive any written 

comments on or before July 17, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Written Submissions: Please 

address written information, comments, 

or questions related to the preparation 

of the EA or EIS to Diane Noda, Field 

Supervisor, U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, Ventura Fish and Wildlife 

Office, 2493 Portola Road, Suite B, 

Ventura, CA 93003. Alternatively, you 

may fax comments to (805) 644–3958. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Judy 

Hohman, Fish and Wildlife Biologist, 

(see ADDRESSES), telephone (805) 644– 

1766, extension 304. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

We intend to scope under NEPA (42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) to gather 

information necessary to help develop a 

NEPA document in connection with our 

proposed action or reaching a permit 

decision on the Beacon Solar Energy 

Project’s proposed HCP. The HCP forms 

part of an incidental take permit 

application under the Act (16 U.S.C. 

1531 et seq.). We provide this notice to 

obtain suggestions and information on 

the scope of issues and alternatives to be 

considered in the NEPA document. An 

EA is prepared for Federal actions that 

will have a less than significant effect 

on all resources impacted in the human 

environment, or to determine whether 

an EIS should be prepared. An EIS is 

prepared for Federal actions that will 

have a significant impact on one or 

more resources in the human 

environment. We will determine if an 

EA or an EIS will be prepared based on 

the public comments received and the 

complexity of issues identified during 

the scoping phase of the NEPA process. 

Section 9 of the Act and Federal 

regulations prohibit the ‘‘take’’ of fish 

and wildlife species listed as 

endangered or threatened. Take of 

federally listed fish or wildlife is 

defined under the Act to include the 

following activities: To harass, harm, 

pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, 

capture, or collect, or to attempt to 

engage in any such conduct (16 U.S.C. 

1532). ‘‘Harm’’ in the definition of take 

includes significant habitat modification 

or degradation that kills or injures listed 

wildlife by significantly impairing 

essential behavioral patterns, including 

breeding, feeding, or sheltering (50 CFR 

17.3(c)). Under section 10(a) of the Act, 

we may issue permits to authorize 

‘‘incidental take’’ of listed species. Any 

proposed incidental take must be 

incidental to otherwise lawful activities, 

not appreciably reduce the likelihood of 

the survival and recovery of the species 

in the wild, and minimize and mitigate 

the impacts of such take to the 

maximum extent practicable. In 

addition, the applicant must prepare a 

HCP describing the impact that will 

likely result from such taking, the 

strategy for minimizing and mitigating 

the incidental take, the funding 

available to implement such steps,
