SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Loan Guaranty, Insurance, and Interest Subsidy Program (Program) was established in the Act of April 12, 1974, as amended, 88 Stat. 79, 25 U.S.C. 1481 *et seq.* and 25 U.S.C. 1511 *et seq.* The Program has existed since 1974 and the regulations implementing it have existed since 1975, with significant revision in 2001. Until this year, the program has been administered by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. It is now administered by the Office of Indian Energy and Economic Development in the Office of the Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs in DOI. It is necessary to collect information from users of this program in order to determine eligibility and credit worthiness of respondents. Request for Comments The DOI requests your comments on this collection concerning:
(a)The necessity of this information collection for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;
(b)the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden (hours and cost) of the collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
(c)ways we could enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(d)ways we could minimize the burden of the collection of the information on the respondents, such as through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Please note that an agency may not sponsor or request and an individual need not respond to, a collection of information unless it has a valid OMB Control Number. If you wish to have your name and/or address withheld, you must state this prominently at the beginning of your comments. We will honor your request according to the requirements of the law. All comments from organizations or representatives will be available for review. We may withhold comments from review for other reasons. *OMB Control Number:* 1076-0020. *Type of review:* Renewal. *Title:* Loan Guaranty, Insurance, and Interest Subsidy, 25 CFR 103. *Brief description of collection:* The purpose of the Loan Guaranty, Insurance, and Interest Subsidy Program, 25 U.S.C. 1481 *et seq.* and 25 U.S.C. 1511 *et seq.* , is to encourage private lending to individual Indians and organizations of Indians, by providing lenders with loan guaranties or loan insurance to reduce their potential risk. Lenders, borrowers, and the loan purpose all must qualify under Program terms. In addition, the Secretary of the Interior must be satisfied that there is a reasonable prospect that the loan will be repaid. DOI collects information under the proposed regulations to assure compliance with Program requirements. There are currently 293 outstanding loans. Based upon historical records, DOI anticipates approximately 65 applications for loan guaranties each year. DOI will receive approximately 20 additional loan insurance applications or notices of loan insurance per year. Of the combined 85 applications/notices, DOI expects that it will guarantee or insure approximately 62 new loans each year, of which approximately 45 will receive interest subsidy. We will have about 350 loans outstanding by the close of Fiscal Year 2007. In all, DOI estimates the total annual Program compliance burden to range from approximately 1-2 hours per loan, with the average loan causing a burden of approximately 1.50 hours. Most compliance burdens fall below this average. DOI assumes the average hourly cost per respondent to be $20.00. *Respondents:* Commercial banks. *Number of Respondents:* 350. *Number of Responses Annually:* 1,527. *Estimated Time per Respondent:* 2 hours. *Frequency of Response:* As needed. *Total Annual Burden to Respondents:* 3,014. *Total Annual Cost to Respondents:* $60,280.00.

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: This notice advises the public that the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), with the cooperation of the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), and the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) intends to file a Final Environmental Impact Statement
(FEIS)with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the proposed lease of up to 142 acres of land held in trust by the United States for the benefit of the CTUIR in Umatilla County, Oregon, and that the FEIS is now available for public review. The purpose of the proposed project, the Coyote Business Park, is to help meet economic development needs on the Umatilla Indian Reservation. DATES: The Record of Decision on the proposed action will be issued on or after January 3, 2007. Any comments on the FEIS must arrive by January 2, 2007. ADDRESSES: You may hand carry written comments to the Umatilla Agency at 46807 B Street, Mission, Oregon, or mail them to Jerry L. Lauer, Acting Superintendent, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Umatilla Agency, P.O. Box 520, Pendleton, Oregon 97801. To obtain a copy of the FEIS, please contact Jerry L. Lauer at the mailing address above or his telephone number below. Copies of the FEIS are available for public review at the Umatilla Agency and at the Pendleton Public Library, 500 SW. Dorian, Pendleton, Oregon. Copies of the FEIS have also been sent to agencies and individuals who participated in the scoping process and to all others who have previously requested copies of the document. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jerry Lauer,
(541)278-3786. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FEIS, prepared with the cooperation of BPA and CTUIR, analyzes the impacts of leasing trust land for the purposes of constructing and managing a light industrial and commercial business park known as the Coyote Business Park. The proposed Coyote Business Park would be located on 142 contiguous acres of a 520 acre site south of Interstate 84 at Exit 216 and west of South Market Road, approximately 7 miles east of Pendleton, Oregon, on the Umatilla Indian Reservation. The FEIS includes an analysis of the No Action alternative, the Proposed Action (Alternative E) and three additional action alternatives (Alternatives B, C, and D). The Proposed Action is the Preferred Alternative. The action alternatives differ primarily in the size of the proposed business park (21-142 acres), whether domestic water would be provided through the drilling of a new well or extension of an existing community water system, and whether sanitary sewer service would be provided by installation of septic tanks and drain fields or connection to an existing municipal sewer system. The Proposed Action is to construct infrastructure for the Coyote Business Park, including providing domestic water, sanitary sewer, storm water drainage, roads and utilities to lots that would be leased for light industrial and/or commercial businesses. Replacement of power support structures on the high-voltage Bonneville Power Administration transmission line that crosses the site would also occur. Water would be provided from the Mission Water System. Wastewater would be handled by connection to the Mission Wastewater Collection System, which is treated through a cooperative agreement by the City of Pendleton. Storm water drainage would be retained on-site. Access would be provided off South Market Road, which would be improved to an industrial standard and provided with a dedicated right hand turn lane into the site. Commercial utilities would be provided through extensions of existing service, which is located either adjacent to the site or within one quarter mile. Potential impacts to Patawa Creek as well as nearby residences have been considered in the design of the Coyote Business Park. Mitigation measures include a storm water drainage collection system that isolates storm water from Patawa Creek; creation of a riparian management zone along Patawa Creek to establish native vegetation and reduce sedimentation and erosion; incorporation of best management practices to reduce impacts to groundwater; and incorporation of landscaping and night lighting design to reduce visual impact and night light pollution. Individual business owners would lease lots from the CTUIR and construct and operate light industrial and/or commercial facilities. The CTUIR could also construct the business facilities and lease them to private operators. Anticipated light industrial operations include warehouses or distribution facilities and assembly of previously manufactured components. Public participation has occurred throughout the development of the EIS. The Notice of Intent was filed in the **Federal Register** on January 9, 2002 (66 FR 1191). A public scoping meeting was held in Pendleton, Oregon, on January 23, 2003, to solicit comments and ideas. On November 6, 2003, an open house was held in Pendleton, Oregon, to update the public on the EIS process for the proposed project. A Notice of Availability for the Draft Environmental Impact Statement
(DEIS)was filed in the **Federal Register** on December 16, 2005 (70 FR 74844). Public hearings on the DEIS were held in Pendleton, Oregon, on January 19 and January 30, 2006. The FEIS addresses issues and concerns raised during the public scoping period and contains responses to letters and oral testimony received during the public comment period on the DEIS. Public Comment Availability Comments, including names and home addresses of respondents, will be available for public review at the BIA address shown above, during regular business hours, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays. Individual respondents may request confidentiality.

The first component is the O&M rate established by the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), the owner and operator of the Project. The BOR rate for 2007 will not be established until October 2006. The FY 2006 BOR rate of $62.00 was used in the development of the proposed 2007 rate, however, the BOR component is subject to change and is provided for informational purposes only. The second component is for the O&M rate established by the Bureau of Indian Affairs
(BIA)to cover administrative costs including billing and collections for the Project. Through this notice, the BIA is proposing a $7/acre O&M rate for its component of the rate. The BIA rate assessment would cover approximately 50% of the accounting technician and 40% of the Natural Resource Officer at the BIA Fort Yuma Agency. Note #2—The 2008 irrigation rate is proposed through this notice. The 2007 rate was established by final notice published in the **Federal Register** on April 5, 2006 (Vol. 71, No. 65 page 17131). Note #3—The 2008 and 2009 irrigation rates are proposed through this notice. The 2007 rate was established by final notice published in the **Federal Register** on April 5, 2006 (Vol. 71, No. 65 page 17131). Note #4—The 2007, 2008 and 2009 irrigation rates are proposed through this notice. **Final 2007 Rate. Consultation and Coordination With Tribal Governments (Executive Order 13175) The BIA irrigation projects are vital components of the local agriculture economy of the reservations on which they are located. To fulfill its responsibilities to the tribes, tribal organizations, water user organizations, and the individual water users, the BIA communicates, coordinates, and consults on a continuing basis with these entities on issues of water delivery, water availability, costs of administration, operation, maintenance, and rehabilitation. This is accomplished at the individual irrigation projects by Project, Agency, and Regional representatives, as appropriate, in accordance with local protocol and procedures. This notice is one component of the BIA's overall coordination and consultation process to provide notice and request comments from these entities on adjusting our irrigation rates. Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use (Executive Order 13211) The rate adjustments will have no adverse effects on energy supply, distribution, or use (including a shortfall in supply, price increases, and increase use of foreign supplies) should the proposed rate adjustments be implemented. This is a notice for rate adjustments at BIA owned and operated irrigation projects, except for the Fort Yuma Irrigation Project. The Fort Yuma Irrigation Project is owned and operated by the Bureau of Reclamation with a portion serving the Fort Yuma Reservation. Regulatory Planning and Review (Executive Order 12866) These rate adjustments are not a significant regulatory action and do not need to be reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order 12866. Regulatory Flexibility Act This rate making is not a rule for the purposes of the Regulatory Flexibility Act because it is “a rule of particular applicability relating to rates.” 5 U.S.C. 601(2). Unfunded Mandates Act of 1995 These rate adjustments impose no unfunded mandates on any governmental or private entity and are in compliance with the provisions of the Unfunded Mandates Act of 1995. Takings (Executive Order 12630) The Department has determined that these rate adjustments do not have significant “takings” implications. The rate adjustments do not deprive the public, state, or local governments of rights or property. Federalism (Executive Order 13132) The Department has determined that these rate adjustments do not have significant Federalism effects because they pertain solely to Federal-tribal relations and will not interfere with the roles, rights, and responsibilities of states. Civil Justice Reform (Executive Order 12988) This notice complies with the requirements of Executive Order 12988. Specifically, this notice does not unduly burden the judicial system and meets the requirements of sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of the Order. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 These rate adjustments do not affect the collections of information which are being reviewed for reinstatement by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. National Environmental Policy Act The Department has determined that these rate adjustments do not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment and that no detailed statement is required under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370(d)). Data Quality Act In developing this notice, we did not conduct or use a study, experiment, or survey requiring peer review under the Data Quality Act (Pub. L. 106-554). Dated: November 3, 2006.

(PRMP)for Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument and Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), New Mexico AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Interior. ACTION: Notice of Availability. SUMMARY: In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA, 42 U.S.C. 4321 *et seq.* ) and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, the Bureau of Land Management
(BLM)has prepared a Proposed Resource Management Plan/Final Environmental Impact Statement (PRMP/FEIS) for the Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument. DATES: The BLM Planning Regulations (43 CFR 1610.5-2) state that any person who participated in the planning process, and has an interest which is or may be adversely affected, may protest BLM's approval or amendment of a RMP. You may file a protest within 30 days of the date that the Environmental Protection Agency publishes their Notice of Availability in the **Federal Register** . Instructions for filing of protests are described in the Dear Reader letter in the front of the Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument Proposed Plan/Final EIS and in the Supplementary Information section of this notice. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. John Bristol, RMP Team Leader, BLM Rio Puerco Field Office, 435 Montano NE, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87107; e-mail *John_Bristol@nm.blm.gov;* telephone
(505)761-8755. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2001, Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument was designated a National Monument by Presidential Proclamation 7394. The Proclamation referred to the Monument as a remarkable outdoor laboratory, offering an opportunity to observe, study, and experience the geologic processes that shape natural landscapes, as well as other cultural and biological objects of interest. The Proclamation directed management of the Monument by the Secretary of the Interior through the Bureau of Land Management. It required the development of a Management Plan in close cooperation with the Pueblo de Cochiti and the promulgation of regulations for its management as the Secretary of the Interior deems appropriate. The Monument is located in Sandoval County, New Mexico near other areas of interest, the Cochiti Pueblo, Cochiti Dam and Lake, Bandelier National Monument and the U.S. Forest Service's Dome Wilderness. Within the Monument boundaries are 4,124 acres of Federally owned land, 521 acres of State owned land, and 757 acres of land in private ownership, for a total of 5,402 acres. These non-federal inholdings were reserved through the proclamation as part of the Monument upon acquisition of title thereto by the United States. Two parcels of land adjoining the Monument (edgeholdings) were determined to have resource values similar to those in the Monument. One of them has been acquired (since publication of the draft RMP) and is referred to as the “southwest acquisition” in this RMP. For the second parcel, should it be acquired, complementary management decisions have been proposed in the RMP. These parcels along with the lands within the monument boundary make up the Planning Area of approximately 15,635 acres. The Proposed RMP/FEIS describes the physical, biological, cultural, historic, and socioeconomic resources in the planning area. The focus for impact analysis was based on resource issues and concerns identified during scoping and public involvement activities. These activities included a 30-day opportunity for written scoping comments and public meetings. During the 90-day public review and comment period on the Draft RMP/EIS, additional public meetings were held. Issues of concern regarding possible management direction and planning decisions (not necessarily in priority order) are: Land tenure adjustments, access and transportation, recreation (use and development), ecosystem restoration, and American Indian uses and traditional cultural practices. Three alternatives were analyzed in detail: Alternative A is the No Action Alternative representing the continuation of existing management plans, policies, and decisions established in the 1986 Rio Puerco RMP, as amended, and as implemented through the Tent Rocks Area of Critical Environmental Concern Protection Plan, with minimal compliance with proclamation requirements. Alternative B represents the BLM and Pueblo de Cochiti proposed resource use and conservation alternative. Alternative C emphasizes an adaptive management approach (particularly for recreation management) with the inclusion of additional monitoring. The monitoring results would trigger management changes to maximize recreational use and facility development while minimizing natural resource degradation and depletion. The BLM's preferred alternative is Alternative B with a focus on management concerns associated with the Monument while complying with the Proclamation and current BLM policies. The objectives balance ecological health and resource conservation with visitor use, research and environmental education opportunities, and recreational facilities development. Copies of the Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument PRMP/FEIS have been sent to affected Federal, State, and local government agencies and to interested parties. Copies of the PRMP/FEIS are available for public inspection at BLM's Rio Puerco Field Office 435 Montano NE, Albuquerque, NM and BLM's New Mexico State Office 1474 Rodeo Road, Santa Fe, NM and other BLM offices throughout the State. Interested persons may also review the PRMP/FEIS at *www.nm.blm.gov.* Comments on the Draft RMP/EIS received from the public and internal BLM review comments were incorporated into the proposed plan. Public comments resulted in clarifying the text of the PRMP/FEIS. The acquisition of lands immediately adjacent to the southwest Monument boundary after release of the Draft RMP/EIS required changes in ownership figures and miles of Federally owned roads and trails in the PRMP/FEIS, but did not significantly change proposed land use decisions. Instructions for filing a protest with the Director of the BLM regarding the Proposed Plan/Final EIS may be found at 43 CFR 1610.5-2. A protest may only raise those issues which were submitted for the record during the planning process. E-mail and faxed protests will not be accepted as valid protests unless the protesting party also provides the original letter by either regular or overnight mail postmarked by the close of the protest period. Under these conditions, the BLM will consider the e-mail or faxed protest as an advance copy and it will receive full consideration. If you wish to provide BLM with such advance notification, please direct faxed protests to the attention of the BLM protest coordinator at 202-452-5112, and e-mails to *Brenda_Hudgens-Williams@blm.gov.* Please direct the follow-up letter to the appropriate address provided below. The protest must contain: a. The name, mailing address, telephone number, and interest of the person filing the protest. b. A statement of the part or parts of the plan and the issue or issues being protested. c. A copy of all documents addressing the issue(s) that the protesting party submitted during the planning process of a statement or the date they were discussed for the record. d. A concise statement explaining why the protestor believes the State Director's decision is wrong. All protests must be in writing and mailed to one of the following addresses: *Regular Mail:* Director 210, Attention: Brenda Williams, P.O. Box 66538, Washington, DC 20035. *Overnight Mail:* Director 210, Attention: Brenda Williams, 1620 L Street, NW., Suite 1075, Washington, DC 20036. Individual respondents may request confidentiality. If you wish to withhold your name or street address from public review or from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, you must state this prominently at the beginning of your protest. Such requests will be honored to the extent allowed by law. All submissions from organizations and businesses, and from individuals identifying themselves as representatives or officials of organizations or businesses, will be available for public inspection in their entirety. The Director will promptly render a decision on the protest. The decision will be in writing and will be sent to the protesting party by certified mail, return receipt requested. The decision of the Director is the final decision of the Department of the Interior. Dated: August, 9, 2006. Linda S.C. Rundell, New Mexico State Director. [FR Doc.
