SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Meeting Topic On December 14, 1998, we published a notice in the **Federal Register** (63 FR 68780) to describe the Medicare Coverage Advisory Committee (MCAC), which provides advice and recommendations to CMS about clinical issues. This notice announces the August 30, 2006 public meeting of the Committee. During this meeting, the Committee will discuss evidence and hear presentations and public comments concerning outpatient glycemic control (as measured by glycated hemoglobin), the frequency of glucose monitoring, and clinical outcomes in the Medicare populations. Specifically, the Committee will review the available data on the ability of glycemic control to blunt the progression of disease, reverse diabetic complications, and alter morbidity and mortality in the Medicare populations; whether the effects of glycemic control (if any) are linear and mitigated by increased hypoglycemic risk; and whether the frequency of outpatient glucose monitoring is a determinant of glycemic control and clinical outcomes in the Medicare populations. The role of variables such as the type of diabetes, the therapeutic regimen employed, the age of hyperglycemic onset, the duration of diabetes, the duration of poor glycemic control, the level of hyperglycemia, and concomitant disease will be discussed. The impediments to glucose monitoring and use of monitoring data will be considered. In addition to evaluating the available data, the Committee will identify areas in which the current data are deficient and in which additional research is warranted. Background information about this topic, including panel materials, is available on the Internet at *http://www.cms.hhs.gov/coverage/* . II. Meeting Procedures This meeting is open to the public. The Committee will hear oral presentations from the public for approximately 45 minutes. The Committee may limit the number and duration of oral presentations to the time available. If you wish to make formal presentations, you must notify the Executive Secretary (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT ) and submit the following to the address listed in the ADDRESSES section of this notice by the date listed in the *Deadlines* section of this notice:
(1)A brief statement of the general nature of the evidence or arguments you wish to present;
(2)the names and addresses of proposed participants; and
(3)a written copy of your presentation. Your presentation should consider the questions we have posed to the Committee and focus on the issues specific to the topic. The questions will be available on the following Web site: *http://www.cms.hhs.gov/FACA/02_MCAC.asp#TopOfPage.* We require that you declare at the meeting whether you have any financial involvement with manufacturers of any items or services being discussed (or with their competitors). After the public and CMS presentations, the Committee will deliberate openly on the topic. Interested persons may observe the deliberations, but the Committee will not hear further comments during this time except at the request of the chairperson. The Committee will also allow a 15 minute unscheduled open public session for any attendee to address issues specific to the topic.

To request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a copy of the information collection plans, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on
(240)276-1243. Comments are invited on:
(a)Whether the proposed collections of information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility;
(b)the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information;
(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 respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Proposed Project: Regulations To Implement SAMHSA's Charitable Choice Statutory Provisions—42 CFR Parts 54 and 54a (OMB No. 0930-0242)—Extension Section 1955 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300x-65), as amended by the Children's Health Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-310) and sections 581-584 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 290kk et seq., as added by the Consolidated Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 106-554)), set forth various provisions which aim to ensure that religious organizations are able to compete on an equal footing for Federal funds to provide substance abuse services. These provisions allow religious organizations to offer substance abuse services to individuals without impairing the religious character of the organizations or the religious freedom of the individuals who receive the services. The provisions apply to the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant (SAPT BG), to the Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness
(PATH)formula grant program, and to certain Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) discretionary grant programs (programs that pay for substance abuse treatment and prevention services, not for certain infrastructure and technical assistance activities). Every effort has been made to assure that the reporting, recordkeeping and disclosure requirements of the proposed regulations allow maximum flexibility in implementation and impose minimum burden. No changes are being made to the regulations. This extension is for approval of the annual checklists to be completed by discretionary and PATH grantees to provide the information required to be reported by 42 CFR part 54a.8(d) and 54.8(e), respectively, and to ascertain how they are implementing the disclosure requirements of 54a.8(b) and 54.8(b), respectively. Information on how States comply with the requirements of 42 CFR part 54a was approved by the Office of Management and Budget

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: This Notice identifies unutilized, underutilized, excess, and surplus Federal property reviewed by HUD for suitability for possible use to assist the homeless. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy Ezzell, room 7266, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410; telephone
(202)708-1234; TTY number for the hearing- and speech-impaired
(202)708-2565 (these telephone numbers are not toll-free), or call the toll-free Title V information line at 1-800-927-7588. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with 24 CFR part 581 and section 501 of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11411), as amended, HUD is publishing this Notice to identify Federal buildings and other real property that HUD has reviewed for suitability for use to assist the homeless. The properties were reviewed using information provided to HUD by Federal landholding agencies regarding unutilized and underutilized buildings and real property controlled by such agencies or by GSA regarding its inventory of excess or surplus Federal property. This Notice is also published in order to comply with the December 12, 1988 Court Order in *National Coalition for the Homeless* v. *Veterans Administration* , No. 88-2503-OG (D.D.C.). Properties reviewed are listed in this Notice according to the following categories: Suitable/available, suitable/unavailable, suitable/to be excess, and unsuitable. The properties listed in the three suitable categories have been reviewed by the landholding agencies, and each agency has transmitted to HUD:
(1)Its intention to make the property available for use to assist the homeless,
(2)its intention to declare the property excess to the agency's needs, or
(3)a statement of the reasons that the property cannot be declared excess or made available for use as facilities to assist the homeless. Properties listed as suitable/available will be available exclusively for homeless use for a period of 60 days from the date of this Notice. Where property is described as for “off-site use only” recipients of the property will be required to relocate the building to their own site at their own expense. Homeless assistance providers interested in any such property should send a written expression of interest to HHS, addressed to John Hicks, Division of Property Management, Program Support Center, HHS, room 5B-17, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857;
(301)443-2265. (This is not a toll-free number.) HHS will mail to the interested provider an application packet, which will include instructions for completing the application. In order to maximize the opportunity to utilize a suitable property, providers should submit their written expressions of interest as soon as possible. For complete details concerning the processing of applications, the reader is encouraged to refer to the interim rule governing this program, 24 CFR part 581. For properties listed as suitable/to be excess, that property may, if subsequently accepted as excess by GSA, be made available for use by the homeless in accordance with applicable law, subject to screening for other Federal use. At the appropriate time, HUD will publish the property in a Notice showing it as either suitable/available or suitable/unavailable. For properties listed as suitable/unavailable, the landholding agency has decided that the property cannot be declared excess or made available for use to assist the homeless, and the property will not be available. Properties listed as unsuitable will not be made available for any other purpose for 20 days from the date of this Notice. Homeless assistance providers interested in a review by HUD of the determination of unsuitability should call the toll free information line at 1-800-927-7588 for detailed instructions or write a letter to Mark Johnston at the address listed at the beginning of this Notice. Included in the request for review should be the property address (including zip code), the date of publication in the **Federal Register** , the landholding agency, and the property number. For more information regarding particular properties identified in this Notice ( *i.e.* , acreage, floor plan, existing sanitary facilities, exact street address), providers should contact the appropriate landholding agencies at the following addresses: AGRICULTURE: Ms. Marsha Pruitt, Realty Officer, Department of Agriculture, Reporters Building, 300 7th St., SW., Rm 310B, Washington, DC 20250;

(OMB)for Approval Under the Paperwork Reduction Act; OMB Control Number 1018-0067; Approval Procedures for Nontoxic Shot and Shot Coatings (50 CFR 20.134) AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior. ACTION: Notice; request for comments. SUMMARY: We (Fish and Wildlife Service) will ask OMB to renew approval for our information collection associated with applications for designation of shot material as nontoxic for hunting waterfowl and coots. The current OMB control number for this information collection is 1018-0067, which expires on December 31, 2006. We will request that OMB renew approval of this information collection for a 3-year term. As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and as part of our continuing efforts to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, we invite the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on this information collection. DATES: You must submit comments on or before August 22, 2006. ADDRESSES: Send your comments on the information collection to Hope Grey, Information Collection Clearance Officer, Fish and Wildlife Service, MS 222-ARLSQ, 4401 North Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA 22203 (mail); *hope_grey@fws.gov* (e-mail); or
(703)358-2269 (fax). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request additional information about this information collection request, contact Hope Grey at one of the addresses above or by telephone at
(703)358-2482. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB regulations at 5 CFR part 1320, which implement provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), require that interested members of the public and affected agencies have an opportunity to comment on information collection and recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR 1320.8(d)). Federal agencies may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. This information collection is associated with regulations implementing the Migratory Bird Treaty Act
(MBTA)(16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.). The MBTA prohibits the unauthorized take of migratory birds and authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to regulate take of migratory birds in the United States. Under this authority, we control the hunting of migratory game birds through regulations in 50 CFR part 20. On January 1, 1991, lead shot was banned for hunting waterfowl and coots in the United States. At that time, only steel shot was available as a nontoxic alternative to lead shot. Over the years, we have encouraged manufacturers to develop types of shot for waterfowl hunting that are not toxic to migratory birds or other wildlife when ingested and are not harmful to the environment. The regulations at 50 CFR 20.134 outline the application and approval process for new types of nontoxic shot. When considering approval of a candidate material as nontoxic, we must ensure that it is not hazardous in the environment and that secondary exposure (ingestion of spent shot or its components) is not a hazard to migratory birds. To make that decision, we require each applicant to collect information about the solubility and toxicity of the candidate material. Additionally, for law enforcement purposes, a noninvasive field detection device must be available to distinguish candidate shot from lead shot. This information constitutes the bulk of an application for approval of nontoxic shot. *Title:* Approval Procedures for Nontoxic Shot and Shot Coatings (50 CFR 20.134). *OMB Control Number:* 1018-0067. *Service Form Number:* None. *Frequency of Collection:* On occasion. *Description of Respondents:* Businesses that produce and/or market shot or shot coatings. Annual number of applicants Average time required per response Total annual burden hours Dollar value of total annual burden hours @ $20.00 per hour 1 3,200 hours 3,200 64,000 We invite comments concerning this information collection on:
(1)Whether or not the collection of information is necessary, including whether or not the information will have practical utility;
(2)the accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection of information;
(3)ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(4)ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents. Comments submitted in response to this notice are a matter of public record. We will include and/or summarize each comment in our request to OMB to renew approval for this information collection. Dated: June 8, 2006.

E6-9926 Filed 6-22-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4310-55-P DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Fish and Wildlife Service Notice of Availability of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report and Receipt of an Application for an Incidental Take Permit for the Pacific Gas & Electric Company Operations and Maintenance Habitat Conservation Plan, San Joaquin Valley, CA AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior. ACTION: Notice of availability. SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) announces the availability for public review of the draft Pacific Gas & Electric Company Operations and Maintenance Habitat Conservation Plan (Plan), draft Implementing Agreement (IA), and draft Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR). This is in response to receipt of an application from Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) for an incidental take permit
(ITP)pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Federal Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA). The Service is considering issuing a 30-year permit to the applicant for the take of 65 species (Covered Species), incidental to otherwise lawful activities associated with routine operations and maintenance activities and minor construction for PG&E's gas and electrical distribution facilities, and implementation of the Plan. The activities are proposed to occur within a 12.1 million-acre planning area (Covered Area), located in the San Joaquin Valley, California. We request comments from the public on the permit application and the draft EIS/EIR, both of which are available for review. The permit application includes the proposed Plan and an accompanying draft IA. The Plan describes the proposed action and the measures the applicant will implement to minimize and mitigate take of the proposed Covered Species.

Background Information Section 9 of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1538) and implementing regulations prohibit the “take” of fish and wildlife species listed as endangered or threatened. The term “take” is defined under the ESA to mean 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” is defined by Service regulation to include significant habitat modification or degradation where it actually kills or injures listed wildlife by significantly impairing essential behavioral patterns, including breeding, feeding, and sheltering (50 CFR 17.3(c)). However, under limited circumstances, the Service may issue permits to authorize “incidental take” of listed species. Incidental take is defined by the ESA as take that is incidental to, and not the purpose of, carrying out an otherwise lawful activity. Regulations governing incidental take permits for threatened and endangered species are found at 50 CFR 17.32 and 17.22, respectively. Although take of listed plant species is not prohibited under the ESA, and therefore cannot be authorized under an incidental take permit, plant species may be included on a permit in recognition of the conservation benefits provided to them under a habitat conservation plan. The applicant, PG&E, would receive assurances under the Services “No Surprises” regulation 50 CFR 17.22(b)(5) and 17.32(b)(5) for all species included on an ITP. PG&E seeks a 30-year ITP for covered activities within a proposed 12.1 million-acre planning area, located entirely in the San Joaquin Valley, California. However, the focused area where the majority of impacts are likely to occur is approximately 276,000 acres. Annual species effects are estimated to be approximately 43 acres per year. PG&E has requested a permit for 65 species (Covered Species), 31 of which are currently listed as threatened or endangered under the ESA and 34 that are currently unlisted. Of these 65 species, 23 are animal species and 42 are plant species. Proposed covered species include 8 wildlife species, currently listed as endangered under the ESA [vernal pool tadpole shrimp ( *Lepidurus packardi* ), blunt-nosed leopard lizard ( *Gambelia sila* ), Buena Vista Lake shrew ( *Sorex ornatus relictus* ), riparian brush rabbit ( *Sylvilagus bachmani riparius* ), riparian ( *San Joaquin Valley* ) woodrat ( *Neotoma fuscipes riparia* ), Tipton kangaroo rat ( *Dipodomys nitratoides nitratoides* ), giant kangaroo rat ( *Dipodomys ingens* ), San Joaquin kit fox ( *Vulpes macrotis mutica* )], 10 plant species, currently listed as endangered under the ESA [large-flowered fiddleneck ( *Amsinckia grandiflora* ), California jewelflower ( *Caulanthus californicus* ), palmate-bracted bird's-beak ( *Cordylanthus palmatus* ), Kern mallow ( *Eremalche kernensis* ), San Joaquin woollythreads ( *Monolopia [Lembertia] congdonii* ), Bakersfield cactus ( *Opuntia basilaris var. treleasei* ), hairy Orcutt grass ( *Orcuttia pilosa* ), Hartweg's golden sunburst ( *Pseudobahia bahiifolia* ), Keck's checkerbloom ( *Sidalcea keckii* ), and Greene's tuctoria ( *Tuctoria greenei* )], and 7 wildlife species currently listed as threatened under the ESA [vernal pool fairy shrimp ( *Branchinecta lynchi* ), Valley elderberry longhorn beetle ( *Desmocerus californicus dimorphus* ), California tiger salamander ( *Ambystoma californiense* ), California red-legged frog ( *Rana aurora draytonii* ), giant garter snake ( *Thamnophis gigas* ), golden eagle ( *Aquila chrysaetos* ), bald eagle ( *Haliaeetus leucocephalus* )], 7 plant species currently listed as threatened under the ESA [Mariposa pussypaws ( *Calyptridium pulchellum* ), succulent owl's-clover ( *Castilleja campestris * ssp. * succulenta* ), Hoover's spurge ( *Chamaesyce hooveri* ), Springville clarkia ( *Clarkia springvillensis* ), Colusa grass ( *Neostapfia colusana* ), San Joaquin Valley Orcutt grass ( *Orcuttia inaequalis* ), San Joaquin adobe sunburst ( *Pseudobahia peirsonii* )]. Proposed covered species also include plants and animals that are not listed under the ESA at the current time including 8 wildlife species [midvalley fairy shrimp ( *Branchinecta mesovallensis* ), limestone salamander ( *Hydromantes brunus* ), Swainson's hawk ( *Buteo swainsoni* ), white-tailed kite ( *Elanus leucurus* ), Western burrowing owl ( *Athene cunicularia hypugea* ), bank swallow ( *Riparia riparia* ), tricolored blackbird ( *Agelaius tricolor* ), and San Joaquin ( *Nelson's* ) antelope squirrel ( *Ammospermophilus nelsoni* )], and 25 plant species [lesser saltscale ( *Atriplex minuscula* ), Bakersfield smallscale ( *Atriplex tularensis* ), big tarplant ( *Blepharizonia plumose * ssp. * plumosa* ), tree-anemone ( *Carpenteria californica* ), slough thistle ( *Cirsium crassicaule* ), Mariposa clarkia ( *Clarkia biloba * ssp. * australis* ), Merced clarkia ( *Clarkia lingulata* ), Vasek's clarkia ( *Clarkia tembloriensis * ssp. * calientensis* ), hispid bird's-beak ( *Cordylanthus mollis * ssp. * hispidus* ), Congdon's woolly sunflower ( *Eriophyllum congdonii* ), Delta button-celery ( *Eryngium racemosum* ), striped adobe lily ( *Fritillaria striata* ), Boggs Lake hedge-hyssop ( *Gratiola heterosepala* ), pale-yellow layia ( *Layia heterotricha* ), Comanche Point layia ( *Layia leucopappa* ), legenere ( *Legenere limosa* ), Panoche peppergrass ( *Lepidium jaredii * ssp. * album* ), Congdon's lewisia ( *Lewisia congdonii* ), Mason's lilaeopsis ( *Lilaeopsis masonii* ), Mariposa lupine ( *Lupinus citrinus var. deflexus* ), showy madia ( *Madia radiata* ), Hall's bush mallow ( *Malacothamnus hallii* ), pincushion navarretia ( *Navarretia myersii * ssp. * myersii* ), oil neststraw ( *Stylocline citroleum* ), Kings gold ( *Twisselmannia californica* ). If the proposed Plan is approved and the permit issued, take authorization for listed covered wildlife species would be effective at the time of permit issuance. Take of the unlisted covered wildlife species would be authorized concurrent with the species' listing under the ESA, should they be listed during the duration of the ITP. The proposed Plan is intended to be a comprehensive document, providing for regional species conservation and habitat planning, while allowing PG&E to better manage routine operations and maintenance activities and minor construction for PG&E's gas and electrical transmission and distribution facilities. The proposed Plan is also intended to provide a coordinated process for permitting and mitigating the take of Covered Species as an alternative to the current project-by-project approach. In order to comply with the requirements of the ESA, the proposed Plan addresses a number of required elements, including: goals and objectives; evaluation of the effects of covered activities on Covered Species, including indirect and cumulative effects; a conservation strategy; a monitoring and adaptive management program; descriptions of changed circumstances and remedial measures; identification of funding sources; and an assessment of alternatives to take of listed species. Covered Activities would include routine operations and maintenance activities and minor construction for PG&E's gas and electrical transmission and distribution facilities and preserve management. The Plan includes measures to avoid and minimize incidental take of the Covered Species. A monitoring and reporting plan would gauge the Plan's success based on achievement of biological goals and objectives. The Plan's adaptive management program allows for changes in the conservation program if the biological species objectives are not met, or new information becomes available to improve the efficacy of the Plan's conservation strategy. The conservation strategy was designed to minimize and mitigate the impacts of covered activities, contribute to the recovery of listed Covered Species, and protect and enhance populations of unlisted Covered Species, as proposed. The proposed Plan's conservation strategy uses three mechanisms to address the potential effects of operation and maintenance activities on species covered by the Plan and their habitat: Avoidance and minimization measures, surveys to assess potential impacts on particular species, when warranted; and compensation for impacts that cannot be avoided. Pre-activity surveys will be conducted before any activity begins that has the potential to disturb 0.1 acre or more of habitat in an area of natural vegetation. Pre-activity surveys will be conducted for activities with the potential to disturb 0.1 acre or less of natural habitat when they occur in wetlands, vernal pools, or other areas of known sensitivity, including designated occupied habitat, or when Covered Species are known to be present. Where impacts cannot be avoided, the Plan provides a systematic process for compensation of temporary and permanent losses. All permanent losses of habitat suitable, for one or more of the Covered Species, will be compensated at a 3:1 ratio (3 acres created, restored, or conserved for every acre lost), and temporary losses of suitable habitat will be compensated at a ratio of 0.5:1. Permanent and temporary loss of wetlands, including vernal pools, will be compensated at a 3:1 ratio using existing mitigation banks. Compensation lands must offer habitat characteristics similar to those of the lands disturbed or lost. Several approaches may be used to provide appropriate compensation lands: Purchase of conservation lands, purchase of mitigation credits from existing mitigation banks, establishment of conservation easements on lands currently in PG&E ownership, and purchase of conservation easements on non-PG&E lands. Compensation will be proposed in advance by PG&E and approved by the Service and the California Department of Fish and Game
(CDFG)in 5-year increments to ensure timely and continuous compensation. National Environmental Policy Act Compliance The proposed issuance of an ITP triggers the need for compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA)and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Accordingly, a joint NEPA/CEQA document has been prepared. The Service is the Lead Agency responsible for compliance under NEPA, and the CDFG is the Lead Agency with responsibility for compliance with CEQA. As NEPA lead agency, the Service is providing notice of the availability of the draft EIS/EIR, which evaluates the impacts of proposed issuance of the permit and implementation of the Plan, as well as a reasonable range of alternatives. The Service formally initiated the environmental review of the project through publication of a Notice of Intent to prepare a draft EIS/EIR and held a public scoping meeting which was published in the **Federal Register** on March 25, 2004 (69 FR 15363). The draft EIS/EIR analyzes three alternatives in addition to the proposed Plan. Each alternative would include the same federal components as the proposed Plan ( *i.e.* , approval of the Plan, IA, and issuance of an ITP). The conservation strategy of all three alternatives would incorporate avoidance and minimization measures, pre-activity surveys, and compensation for impacts that cannot be avoided. The alternatives and the proposed Plan differ in the details of their conservation strategies. The three alternatives are described below. Alternative 1 (Plan with Reduced Take) would require a more comprehensive implementation of avoidance and minimization measures than the proposed Plan. Specifically, under Alternative 1, avoidance and minimization measures would be implemented for all activities, including all small disturbance activities. These additional requirements would reduce take below the level anticipated under the proposed Plan. Compensation ratios for habitat loss or disturbance would be the same as those for the proposed Plan. Alternative 2 (Plan with Enhanced Compensation) would provide enhanced compensation for impacts that cannot be avoided. Under Alternative 2, both permanent and temporary losses of suitable habitat would be compensated at a 3:1 ratio. Loss of wetlands, including vernal pools, would be compensated at a 3:1 ratio if compensation is accomplished through an existing mitigation bank, and at a 6:1 ratio if compensation takes place outside existing banks. Avoidance, minimization measures, and thresholds for implementation of avoidance and minimization measures would be the same as those for the proposed Plan. Alternative 3 (Plan with Reduced Number of Covered Species) would cover fewer species than the proposed Plan. The following species covered under the proposed Plan would not be covered under Alternative 3: the vernal pool crustaceans, limestone salamander, California red-legged frog, giant garter snake, bank swallow, tricolored blackbird, Buena Vista Lake shrew, riparian brush rabbit, riparian woodrat, Tipton kangaroo rat, and 11 plant species. This alternative would focus on those species that are currently Federal or State listed and have been identified as having more than 2 acres of habitat likely to be disturbed by operations or maintenance activities each year. Avoidance and minimization measures, thresholds for implementation of avoidance and minimization measures, and habitat compensation would be the same as the proposed Plan. Under the No-Action/No-Project alternative, the proposed Plan would not be adopted, and a permit pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA would not be issued by the Service. Compliance with the ESA would continue to be addressed on a case-by-case basis. Public Comments The Service and PG&E invite the public to comment on the draft Plan, draft EIS/EIR, and draft IA during a 90-day public comment period beginning on the date of this notice. The comment period is opened for 90 days to eliminate the need for an extension subsequent to the close of the comment period. All comments received, including names and addresses, will become part of the administrative record and may be made available to the public. The Service will evaluate the application, associated documents, and comments submitted thereon to prepare the Final EIS/EIR, HCP and IA. A permit decision will be made no sooner than 30 days after the publication of the final EIS/EIR and completion of the Record of Decision. This notice is provided pursuant to section 10(a) of the ESA and Service regulations for implementing NEPA, as amended (40 CFR 1506.6). We provide this notice in order to allow the public, agencies, or other organizations to review and comment on these documents. Dated: June 16, 2006.

E6-9847 Filed 6-22-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4310-55-P DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Bureau of Land Management [UT-080-06-1310-EJ] Notice of Availability of a Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Resource Development Group Uinta Basin Natural Gas Project, Uintah County, UT AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Department of Interior. ACTION: Notice of availability. SUMMARY: Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA) and associated regulations, the Bureau of Land Management
(BLM)announces the availability of a Final Environmental Impact Statement
(FEIS)for the Resource Development Group Uinta Basin Natural Gas Project proposed by the Resource Development Group (RDG). DATES: A decision on the proposed action will not be made until 30 days after the date EPA publishes this notice in the **Federal Register** (FR). Written comments may be submitted during this 30-day period. ADDRESSES: Copies of the FEIS are available for public inspection at the following BLM office locations: Bureau of Land Management, Utah State Office 440 West 200 South, Suite 500, Salt Lake City, UT 84101 and the Bureau of Land Management, Vernal Field Office, 150 South 500 East, Vernal, UT 84078. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stephanie Howard, Project Manager, BLM Vernal Field Office 170 South 500 East, Vernal, UT 84078. Ms. Howard may also be reached at 435-781-4469. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An Environmental Assessment
(EA)was originally published in February 1999. A Decision Record (DR)/Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) was signed by the BLM on January 29, 1999. Subsequent to its decision, the BLM received 12 requests for a State Director Review and one request for a stay of the DR/FONSI. A stay was issued until April 16, 1999 and subsequently extended, pending a thorough review of the requests received. Those requesting the review and stay questioned the nature and extent of impacts disclosed in the EA and the validity of the DR/FONSI. On May 21, 1999, the DR/FONSI was vacated and the proposal was remanded to the BLM, Vernal Field Office
(VFO)for the preparation of an environmental impact statement (EIS). RDG operators submitted their Proposed Action to the BLM on September 10, 1999, and the Notice of Intent was published in the **Federal Register** on October 22, 1999 (64 FR 57122). A notice of availability of the Draft EIS
(DEIS)and a 45-day comment period was published in the FR on August 8, 2003. The BLM prepared the FEIS to assess the environmental and economic impacts associated with natural gas development in the Uinta Basin, Utah. The FEIS is a complete document. It includes Section 7 consultation and Biological Opinion from the FWS, plus a presentation of substantive comments received on the DEIS. The FEIS also includes the BLM's responses to these comments and changes to the text in response to the comments. Changes were made to clarify, correct and/or expand information to aid the public's understanding of the proposed project, reasonable alternatives and their effects of the environment. The FEIS analyzes four alternatives for managing natural gas development on private, State of Utah, and BLM-administered lands. *Alternative 1* —The Proposed Action—consists of the development of 423 natural gas wells, access roads, support facilities, a transmission pipeline, and a compressor station within the 79,914 acres project area. *Alternative 2* —Additional Wildlife Considerations—would incorporate the same construction, operational, decommissioning, and reclamation components as the Proposed Action, with the addition of environmental considerations that could require the relocation of well pads, roads, and ancillary facilities within the lease, or restrict development during certain periods of the year, or require special construction, operational, and reclamation methods to reduce potential environmental impacts. *Alternative 3* —Additional Environmental Considerations—would incorporate the same operational components as the Alternative 1 and the same environmental considerations as Alternative 2 as well as the expansion of the mule deer winter range protection boundary and the application of United States Fish and Wildlife Service recommended guidelines for raptor protection. Under this alternative, 50 fewer wells would be drilled over the life of the project when compared to the Alternatives 1 and 2 ( *i.e.* , only 373 wells). *Alternative 4* —No Action—would allow current land use practices including existing oil and gas production to continue. It was assumed that 55 wells would be drilled over the 20 year life of the project, under the No Action Alternative. The wells would be drilled under the Authority of the Book Cliffs Resource Management Plan and the terms and conditions of oil and gas leases already held by RDG. The 45-day comment period for the DEIS ended on September 22, 2003, although agency comment letters were accepted after that date. Comments were received from 21 individuals and/or organizations during public comment process. Public comments addressed a broad range of issues. The issues, with the number of comments for each item in parentheses, are as follows: NEPA process (15), purpose and need (9), and alternatives
(21)mitigation (39), geology/minerals (1), water resources (10), air quality (14), soils/watershed/floodplains (3), vegetation (1), riparian/wetland areas (2), wildlife (14), special status species (7), cultural resources (7), paleontological resources (1), recreation (4), wilderness characteristics (7), socio-economics (5), and miscellaneous (6). Public comments resulted in the addition of clarifying text, but did not significantly change the analysis of the FEIS. Consistent with NEPA regulations, (40 CFR 1503.4(b)), all substantive comments on the Draft EIS received a response. Substantive comments includes those that challenge the information in the Draft EIS as being inaccurate or inadequate, or which offer specific information that may have a bearing on the decision. Comments that merely expressed an opinion for or against the project were not identified as a comment requiring a response. In cases where the comment was not substantive, but appeared to indicate that information in the EIS was either misunderstood or unclear, a response was prepared to clarify the information. Comments received on the Draft EIS and the responses to those comments are found in *Appendix A* of the Final EIS. Based on the information contained in the FEIS, consultation with 13 Native American Tribes having historical and/or ethnological ties to the Uinta Basin, and the information received from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services, the BLM has identified Alternative 2—Additional Wildlife Considerations, as the Preferred Alternative.
