SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department is submitting the proposed information collection to OMB for review, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended). This Notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of information to:

(1)Evaluate whether the proposed collection is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;

(2)Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information;

(3)Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

(4)Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond; including 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:* Mortgage Record Change. *OMB Control Number, if applicable:* 2502-0422. *Description of the need for the information and proposed use:* The Mortgage Record Change information is used by FHA-approved mortgagees to comply with HUD requirements for reporting the sale of a mortgage between investors, the transfer of the mortgage servicing responsibility, and a change in mortgagors, as appropriate. The information required is used to update HUD's Insurance System and other related systems. Current data is necessary to establish mortgage premium liability, forward annual premium mortgage data to the appropriate mortgagee/servicer, and maintain premium receivables and program data regarding investors/servicer activity. Without the required data, the premium collection/monitoring function would be severely impeded and program data would be unreliable. This information is essential because HUD does case level accounting in recording premium payments by mortgagees. *Agency form numbers, if applicable:* HUD-92080 is used for multifamily loans only. Information for single family loans is collected 100% electronically. *Estimation of the total numbers of hours needed to prepare the information collection including number of respondents, frequency of response, and hours of response:* The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to be 160,025 hours annually. An estimated 2,600 respondents file 1,600,025 responses annually, and the time needed to provide the information is 6 minutes on average. *Status of the proposed information collection:* Extension of a currently approved collection.

E7-12373 Filed 6-28-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4210-67-P DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Fish and Wildlife Service Notice of Availability of the Draft Comprehensive Conservation Plan and Environmental Assessment for Sabine National Wildlife Refuge AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior. ACTION: Notice of availability. SUMMARY: The Fish and Wildlife Service announces that a Draft Comprehensive Conservation Plan and Environmental Assessment (Draft CCP/EA) for Sabine National Wildlife Refuge is available for distribution. This Draft CCP/EA also covers the East Cove Unit of Cameron Prairie National Wildlife Refuge. The National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act of 1966, as amended by the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997, requires the Service to develop a comprehensive conservation plan for each national wildlife refuge. This Draft CCP, when final, will describe how the Service intends to manage Sabine National Wildlife Refuge over the next 15 years. DATES: Written comments must be received at the postal address listed below no later than July 30, 2007. ADDRESSES: To provide written comments or to obtain a copy of the Draft CCP/EA, please write to: Southwest Louisiana National Wildlife Refuge Complex, Sabine National Wildlife Refuge, 1428 Highway 27, Bell City, Louisiana 70630; or telephone: 337-598-2216. The Draft CCP/EA may also be accessed and downloaded from the Service's Internet Site: *http://southeast.fws.gov/planning/.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *Public Availability of Comments:* Before including your 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. *Background:* Sabine National Wildlife Refuge was established by Executive Order 7764, dated December 6, 1937, stating the official purpose of the refuge was, “* * * as a refuge and breeding ground for migratory birds and other wildlife.” A secondary purpose of the refuge is “* * * for use as an inviolate sanctuary, or for any other management purpose, for migratory birds” [16 U.S.C. 715d (Migratory Bird Conservation Act)]. Sabine National Wildlife Refuge is one of four refuges that comprise the Southwest Louisiana National Wildlife Refuge Complex. It is located eight miles south of Hackberry on State Highway 27 in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. The refuge currently occupies the marshes between Calcasieu and Sabine Lakes and consists of 125,790 acres of open water and marsh grassland. The East Cove Unit, originally established as part of Sabine National Wildlife Refuge, was administratively transferred to Cameron Prairie National Wildlife Refuge in 1992. The East Cove Unit, also in Cameron Parish, consists of 14,927 acres of brackish to intermediate marsh, bordered on the west by Calcasieu Lake, and on the north, east, and south by privately owned marshes. The East Cove Unit is also part of the Cameron Creole Watershed Project, a cooperative effort among local, State, and Federal agencies and the private sector to restore 64,000 acres of marsh in Cameron Parish. The Service manages the Cameron Creole Watershed Project under cooperative agreement among sponsors. The overall focus area to be evaluated in this Draft CCP/EA totals 140,717 acres. Significant issues addressed in the Draft CCP/EA include: Recovery from damages incurred by Hurricane Rita; management of migratory birds, with special emphasis on waterfowl (especially northern pintails and mottled ducks); management and restoration of unique coastal wetland habitats; management of oil and gas activities; access management for public use activities, including recreational freshwater sportfishing and hunting; and protection of cultural resources. Also addressed in the Draft CCP/EA are compatibility determinations for the following uses:

(1)Recreational freshwater sportfishing;

(2)recreational sportfishing tournaments;

(3)recreational hunting;

(4)environmental education and interpretation;

(5)wildlife observation and photography;

(6)research and monitoring;

(7)commercial alligator harvest;

(8)commercial video and photography;

(9)commercially guided wildlife viewing, photography, environmental education, and interpretation; and

(10)beneficial use of dredge material. *Alternatives:* The Service developed three alternatives for management of the refuge (alternatives A, B, and C), with Alternative B as the proposed alternative. We believe this alternative will be the most effective one to contribute to the purpose for which the refuge was established and to the mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System. Alternative A, also called the “No Action” alternative, is the baseline or status quo of refuge programs and is usually a continuation of current planning unit objectives and management strategies, with no changes or changes that would have occurred without the CCP. Sabine Refuge, which was severely affected by Hurricane Rita in September 2005, is currently closed to most activities other than essential operations, and hurricane clean-up and restoration activities. Non-essential programs, such as public use, would cease. Research monitoring activities and the fire program, including both prescribed fire as well as extinguishing wildfires, would continue. Hazardous debris removal and Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act projects would continue. Oil and gas operations would continue. Law enforcement operations would increase to ensure that the more than 300,000 annual visitors who normally use the refuge comply with the closure. Sabine Refuge staff would function at an office located off-site. Cultural resources would continue to be protected. As hurricane recovery is accomplished, the refuge would essentially be managed as it was prior to the devastation from the historic storm. The East Cove Unit would continue to be managed under an inter-agency management agreement. Alternative B, our proposed alternative, would continue to keep the refuge operational with minimal public use programs functional but at a reduced cost (near-term). It would increase marsh restoration, enhance fish and wildlife management, and expand public use (long-term). Over the near-term, programs would continue throughout the refuge commensurate with the levels of hazardous material clean-up and restoration. Over time, public use areas would be re-opened as repairs to infrastructure and restoration of habitat occur. Fire and research programs would remain active. Existing oil and gas operations would continue at the normal level, but new operations would be closely assessed under Service regulations and Federal laws. Staff assigned to the refuge would function out of a hurricane-resistant building to be located at the original headquarters site. Over the long-term, under Alternative B, Sabine Refuge would increase marsh restoration and enhance wildlife management, stepping up these efforts from current levels. Like Alternative A, Alternative B would maintain salinity monitoring throughout the refuge at established discrete salinity stations. Improving water quality would be a major thrust for the refuge. The refuge would provide additional opportunities for friends, volunteers, partners, and interns to assist the refuge. Management of the East Cove Unit under Alternative B would be identical to Alternative A. Gates at the water control structures would be operated to restore preferred vegetated plant communities associated with intermediate or possibly slightly brackish environments. Staff would evaluate the use of terraces to improve vegetation of open-water areas. During the life of the CCP, an assessment would be conducted to determine the need for sanctuary in the East Cove Unit, which would minimize detrimental waterfowl disturbances. The invasion of exotic plant species, with special emphasis on giant salvinia, would be monitored. Public fishing access to the East Cove Unit would be improved. Alternative C would hold the refuge in custodial form. Major restoration and recovery efforts from devastation caused by Hurricane Rita would be curtailed. The fire and research programs would remain active throughout the refuge. Oil and gas operations would continue at the current level. No active habitat management would occur. Instead, refuge and complex staff would serve as good caretakers or custodians of the refuge, observing and monitoring the natural forces and ecological succession that would shape its habitats and effectively determine their suitability for wildlife. The Service would conduct no prescribed fire and would limit fire management to hazardous fuel reduction and suppression of wildfires. There would be no need to replace and upgrade equipment and facilities, such as pumps, tractors, and water control structures. This alternative would result in very little effective high-quality waterfowl sanctuary. That is, high ground would succeed to a mix of Chinese tallow, willow, and hackberry, while lower ground reverted to dense stands of maidencane. There would be few open areas. With regard to public use, each of the six priority public uses would be strongly encouraged but facilities would be limited. Management of cultural resources and the East Cove Unit under Alternative C would be identical to Alternatives A and B.

E7-12628 Filed 6-28-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4310-55-P DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Bureau of Land Management [WO-220-07-1020-JA-VEIS] Notice of Availability of Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement and Environmental Report for Vegetation Treatments on Public Lands Administered by the Bureau of Land Management in the Western United States, Including Alaska AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior. ACTION: Notice of Availability. SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), the Bureau of Land Management

(BLM)hereby gives notice that the Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement and Final Environmental Report on vegetation treatments involving the use of chemical herbicides and other methods on the public lands administered by 11 BLM State offices in 17 western States, including Alaska, is available for public review and comment. The BLM is the lead Federal agency for the preparation of this Final Programmatic EIS in compliance with the requirements of NEPA. If it is approved, the BLM would: 1. Approve the use of four new herbicide formulations on public lands. 2. Decide which of 20 currently approved herbicides will continue to be used on public lands. 3. Decide on a protocol to follow that adds new EPA-registered chemical formulations to the BLM list of approved herbicides. 4. Identify which best management practices should be used with all applications of herbicide and other types of vegetation treatment methods (mechanical, fire, biological, etc). DATES: The document will be available for July 30, 2007. ADDRESSES: The Final Programmatic EIS and associated documents will be available for review in either hard copy or on compact disks

(CDs)at all BLM State, District, and Field Office public rooms. The entire document can also be reviewed or downloaded at the BLM National Web site *http://www.blm.gov.* Written comments should be sent to Project Manager, National Vegetation EIS, BLM Nevada State Office, P.O. Box 12000, Reno, NV 89520-0006. Before including your 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. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian Amme, Project Manager at

(775)861-6645 or e-mail: *brian_amme@blm.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This Final Programmatic EIS provides a comprehensive analysis of the BLM's use of chemical herbicides in its various vegetation treatment programs related to hazardous fuels reduction, invasive terrestrial and aquatic plant species management, noxious weeds, and resource rehabilitation following catastrophic fires, and other disturbances. In addition, an accompanying environmental report for vegetation provides an assessment of the expected effects of the use of herbicides, in addition to other vegetation treatment methods (fire, mechanical, manual, and biological) on up to approximately 5,030,000 acres of public lands per year. Together, these documents: • Consider reasonably foreseeable activities, particularly hazardous fuels reduction treatments, emergency stabilization and rehabilitation efforts, noxious weeds, and invasive terrestrial plant species management. • Address human health and ecological risk for proposed use of chemical herbicides on public lands. • Provide a cumulative impact analysis for the use of chemical herbicides in conjunction with other treatment methods. The Final Programmatic EIS is neither a land-use plan nor a land-use plan amendment. The Final Programmatic EIS and Environmental Report will provide a comprehensive, programmatic NEPA document and environmental report that allows effective tiering and incorporation by reference, environmental effects and baseline cumulative impact assessments for other new, revised, or existing land use and activity level plans and implementation projects that involve vegetation modification or maintenance. This Final Programmatic EIS does not affect the status of the herbicide court injunction in Oregon. The analysis area includes only surface estate public lands administered by 11 BLM State offices: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana (North Dakota/South Dakota), New Mexico (Oklahoma/Texas/Nebraska), Nevada, Oregon (Washington), Utah, and Wyoming. The BLM issued a Notice of Availability of the Draft Vegetation Treatments Using Herbicides Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement and Draft Programmatic Environmental Report on November 10, 2005. The BLM held ten public hearings in late 2005, and extended the public comment period an additional 30 days to February 10, 2006. The BLM responded to over 3,000 individual public comments during the Draft Programmatic EIS public review period. Comment responses and resultant changes in the impact analysis are documented in this Final Programmatic EIS and Environmental Report per requirements under 40 CFR 1503.4. Additional information and analysis is included in the Final Programmatic EIS addressing comments related to chemical degradates, use of surfactants and risks associated with endocrine disrupting chemicals. In addition, the Final Programmatic EIS contains subsistence analysis required under Section 801(a) of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA). The BLM will prepare a Record of Decision

(ROD)for the EIS after July 30, 2007. Bud Cribley, Deputy Assistant Director, Renewable Resources and Planning. [FR Doc. E7-12533 Filed 6-28-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4310-84-P DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Minerals Management Service Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), Eastern Gulf of Mexico (GOM), Proposed Oil and Gas Lease Sale 224, March 2008 AGENCY: Minerals Management Service (MMS), Interior. ACTION: Notice of Availability

(NOA)of the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement and Public Hearings. SUMMARY: The MMS has prepared a draft supplemental environmental impact statement

(SEIS)on a tentatively scheduled 2008 oil and gas leasing proposal (Sale 224) in the Eastern GOM, off the States of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. As mandated in the recently enacted Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act (GOMESA) of 2006 (Pub. L. 109-432, December 20, 2006), the MMS shall offer a portion of the “181 Area,” located in the Eastern Planning Area, more than 125 miles from Florida for oil and gas leasing. The proposed action involves 130 tracts. Authority: The NOA and notice of public hearings is published pursuant to the regulations (40 CFR 1503) under the authority of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA); the Environmental Quality Improvement Act of 1970, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4371 et seq.); Section 309 of the Clean Air Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 7609); and Executive Order 11514 (March 5, 1970, as amended by Executive Order 11991 (May 24, 1977). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The recently enacted GOMESA of 2006 (Pub. L. 109-432, December 20, 2006) mandated MMS to offer a portion of the “181 Area” located in the newly defined Eastern Planning Area, more than 125 miles from Florida and west of the Military Mission Line (86 degrees, 41 minutes 30 seconds West longitude) for oil and gas leasing “as soon as practicable, but not later than 1 year, after the date of enactment of this Act.” The Act mandates offering this area “notwithstanding the omission of the 181 Area * * * from any OCS leasing program under section 18 of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1344).” However, this action is not exempted from other legal requirements, such as NEPA or the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA). The MMS has prepared an SEIS to the original Sale 181 EIS published in 2001 (which encompassed the lands now being considered for Sale 224) in order to address these requirements. To meet the 1-year requirements of GOMESA, this sale should be held no later than December 2007. However, to comply fully with all pertinent laws, rules, and regulations, and to allow the public an opportunity to participate in the NEPA process, the earliest MMS would be able to offer this area for leasing would be approximately March 2008. Postponing the sale to be held as “soon as practicable” while complying with all applicable laws is in the best interests of all parties, including the American public as owners of these resources. It also is more economical and efficient for the Government and industry to hold this sale in conjunction with Central GOM Sale 206 at the same time and location. The area to be offered in Sale 224 is small, approximately 130 tracts, whereas recent Central Gulf sales have offered over 4,000 tracts. The logistics of holding a sale are intensive and relatively costly; therefore, it makes sense to hold the smaller sale in conjunction with a larger sale. Additionally, holding Sale 224 in conjunction with Sale 206 would help ensure that a sufficient number of companies would be represented in bidding, which may enhance the number of bids and possibly the revenue generated by more competitive bidding. This NOA follows the Call for Information and Nominations and the Notice of Intent to Prepare an EIS in the prelease process for the sale. The draft SEIS associated with this NOA updated the environmental and socioeconomic analyses in the *Gulf of Mexico OCS Oil and Gas Lease Sale 181, Eastern Planning Area Final EIS* (OCS EIS/EA MMS 2001-051), which addressed the original “Sale 181 Area.” The MMS plans to complete the requirements of NEPA, the OCS Lands Act, and CZMA coverage for the proposed lease sale. *SEIS Availability:* To obtain a single, printed or CD-ROM copy of the draft SEIS, you may contact the Minerals Management Service, Gulf of Mexico OCS Region, Public Information Office (MS 5034), 1201 Elmwood Park Boulevard, Room 114, New Orleans, Louisiana 70123-2394 (1-800-200-GULF). An electronic copy of the draft SEIS is available at the MMS Internet Web site at *http://www.gomr.mms.gov/homepg/regulate/environ/nepa/nepaprocess.html.* Many libraries along the Gulf Coast have been sent copies of the draft SEIS. To find out which libraries, and their locations, have copies of the draft SEIS for review, you may contact the MMS Public Information Office or visit the MMS Internet Web site at *http://www.gomr.mms.gov/homepg/regulate/environ/libraries.html.* *Public Hearings:* The MMS will hold public hearings to receive comments on the draft SEIS. The public hearings are scheduled as follows: • July 24, 2007, Larose Civic Center, Larose Regional Park, Larose, Louisiana, 7 p.m. • July 26, 2007, Florida New World Landing, 600 South Palafox Street, Pensacola, Florida, 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. If you wish to present testimony at a hearing, you should register one hour prior to the meeting. Each hearing will briefly recess when all speakers have had an opportunity to speak. If there are no additional speakers, the hearing will adjourn immediately after the recess.

ACTION: Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment

(EA)and Draft Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act

(NEPA)of 1969, the Council on Environmental Quality Final Regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500 through 1508), and the United States Section, International Boundary and Water Commission's (USIBWC) Operational Procedures for Implementing Section 102 of NEPA, published in the **Federal Register** September 2, 1981, (46 FR 44083); the USIBWC hereby gives notice that the Draft Environmental Assessment and FONSI for Improvements to the Donna-Brownsville Levee System, in the Lower Rio Grande Flood Control Project, located in Hidalgo and Cameron Counties, Texas, are available. An environmental impact statement will not be prepared unless additional information which may affect this decision is brought to our attention within 30-days from the date of this Notice. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Daniel Borunda, Environmental Protection Specialist, Environmental Management Division, United States Section, International Boundary and Water Commission; 4171 N. Mesa, C-100; El Paso, Texas 79902. Telephone:

(915)832-4767; e-mail: *daniel.borunda@ibwc.state.gov* . DATES: Comments on the Draft EA and Draft FONSI will be accepted within 30 days from the date of this Notice. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The USIBWC is authorized to construct, operate, and maintain any project or works projected by the United States of America on the Lower Rio Grande Flood Control Project (LRGFCP), as authorized by the Act of the 74th Congress, Sess. I Ch. 561 (H.R. 6453), approved August 19, 1935 (49 Stat. 660), and codified at 22 U.S.C. Section 277, 277a, 277b, 277c, and Acts amendatory thereof and supplementary thereto. The LRGFCP was constructed to protect urban, suburban, and highly developed irrigated farmland along the Rio Grande delta in the United States and Mexico. The USIBWC, in cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), prepared this Draft Environmental Assessment (Draft EA) for the proposed action of raising the Donna-Brownsville Levee System located in Hidalgo and Cameron Counties, Texas to improve flood control. This levee system is part of the LRGFCP that extends approximately 180 miles from the Town of Peñitas in south Texas to the Gulf of Mexico. The Donna-Brownsville Levee extends 65 miles along the Rio Grande, downstream from the Donna Pump Station in Hidalgo County to an area east of Brownsville, approximately 28 miles upstream of the Gulf of Mexico, in Cameron County. Proposed Action The Proposed Action would increase the flood containment capacity of the Donna-Brownsville Levee System by raising elevation of a number of levee segments to meet a 3-foot freeboard design criterion for flood protection. Height increases up to 2 feet are typically needed to reach the design freeboard value. The increase in levee height will result in an expansion to the levee footprint by lateral extension of the structure. Structural improvements may be required for some levee segments where seepage is a potential problem. Alternatives to the Proposed Action A No Action Alternative was evaluated for the Donna-Brownsville Levee System. This alternative will retain the existing configuration of the system, as designed over 30 years ago, and the current level of protection currently associated with this system. Under severe storm events, current containment capacity may be insufficient to fully control Rio Grande flooding, with risks to personal safety and potential property damage. Summary of Findings Pursuant to NEPA guidance (40 Code of Federal Regulations 1500-1508), The President's Council on Environmental Quality issued regulations for NEPA implementation, which included provisions for both the content and procedural aspects of the required Environmental Assessment. The USIBWC completed an EA of the potential environmental consequences of raising the Donna-Brownsville Levee System to meet current requirements for flood control. The EA, which supports this Finding of No Significant Impact, evaluated the Proposed Action and No Action Alternative. Levee System Evaluation No Action Alternative The No Action Alternative was evaluated as the single alternative action to the Proposed Action. The No Action Alternative will retain the current configuration of the Donna-Brownsville Levee System, with no impacts to biological and cultural resources, land use, community resources, or environmental health issues. In terms of flood protection, however, current containment capacity under the No Action Alternative may be insufficient to fully control Rio Grande flooding under severe storm events, with associated risks to personal safety and property. Proposed Action Biological Resources Improvements to the Donna-Brownsville Levee System require excavation and fill activities that would affect plant communities within the expanded levee footprint area. Nearly all vegetation removal, 51.5 acres, would be limited to invasive-species grassland that is expected to be rapidly re-established. While approximately 17 percent of the 65 mile levee system is adjacent to conservation areas, those non-native grasslands are located within the right-of-way

(ROW)and have very limited value as wildlife habitat. No significant effects are anticipated for any of the 15 threatened and endangered species with potential habitat in the vicinity of the levee system. No wetlands are located within the potential levee expansion area. Cultural Resources Improvements to the Donna-Brownsville Levee System may adversely affect known archaeological resources, by mechanical excavation or by burial under the expanded levee footprint. Resources potentially affected include eight areas that may contain historic or prehistoric archaeological materials, and one known archaeological site. Out of 65 historic-age resources located in the levee system vicinity, twelve could be affected by the proposed levee improvements. Those historic-age resources are mostly associated with irrigation structures and canals adjacent to the levee system. Water Resources Improvements to the levee system would increase flood containment capacity to control the design flood event with a negligible increase in water surface elevation. Levee footprint expansion would not affect water bodies. Land Use The expansion would take place almost completely within the ROW and would not affect urban or agricultural lands. A minimum removal of woodland from natural resources management areas, less than 1 acre, would be required. Community Resources In terms of socioeconomic resources, the influx of federal funds into Hidalgo and Cameron Counties from the levee improvement project would have a positive local economic impact limited to the construction period; the impact would represent less than 1 percent of the annual county employment, income and sales values. No adverse impacts to disproportionately high minority and low-income populations were identified for construction activities. Moderate utilization of public roads is required during construction; a temporary increase in access road use would be required for equipment mobilization to staging areas. Environmental Health Issues Estimated air emissions of five criteria pollutants during construction represent from 0.06 percent to 1.64 percent of the Hidalgo and Cameron Counties annual emissions inventory. There would be a moderate increase in ambient noise levels due to excavation and fill activities. No long-term and regular exposure is expected above noise threshold values. A database search identified a number of waste storage or disposal sites in the levee system vicinity, all located within the City of Brownville. None of those sites would affect, or be affected, by the levee improvement project. Best Management Practices and Mitigation Engineering design measures will be used, including optimization of the levee expansion alignment to avoid impacts on wooded vegetation, wetlands, and other natural resources. Best management practices during construction will include development of a storm water pollution prevention plan to avoid impacts to receiving waters, and use of sediment barriers and soil wetting to minimize erosion. To protect vegetation, the construction corridor may be re-vegetated with herbaceous or woody vegetation, as agreed with the natural resources management organization where the levee expansion corridor is located. To protect wildlife, construction activities will be scheduled to occur, to the extent possible, outside the March to August bird migratory season. To avoid significant impacts on cultural resources, an additional survey of archaeological and historical resources will be conducted following completion of the engineering design phase, and mitigation actions will be adopted as recommended by the Texas Historical Commission (THC). Measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts to historical or archaeological resources will be specified in a Memorandum of Agreement between THC and the USIBWC.

Background Title 30, CFR 57.11053 requires the development of an escape and evacuation plan specifically addressing the unique conditions of each underground metal and nonmetal mine. Section 57.11053 also requires that revisions be made as mining progresses. The plan must be available for review by MSHA inspectors and conspicuously posted at locations convenient to all persons on the surface and underground. The plan is required to be reviewed jointly by the mine operator and MSHA at least once every six months. II. Current Actions An accurate, up-to-date plan is vital to the safety of the miners and rescue personnel in the event of an underground mine emergency. The plans are periodically reviewed by MSHA personnel to ensure that plans are accurate and updated as mining progresses and that the escape routes are still effective. A copy of the proposed information collection request can be obtained by contacting the employee listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice, or viewed on the internet by accessing the MSHA home page ( *http://www.msha.gov/* ) and selecting “Rules and Regs”, and then selecting “Fed Reg Docs.” *Type of Review:* Extension of Currently Approved Collection. *Agency:* Mine Safety and Health Administration. *Title:* Escape and Evacuation Plans. *OMB Number:* 1219-0046. *Affected Public:* Business or other for-profit institutions. *Frequency:* On occasion. *Number of Respondents:* 242. *Number of Responses:* 484. *Total Burden Hours:* 4,114. *Total Annual Burden Cost:* $0.

Background The Self-Rescue devices are subjected to harsh in-mine conditions that may result in damage to the device which could cause the device to malfunction or provide less than adequate protection. The 90-day examination of the device is necessary in order to provide for early detection of potential problems that would otherwise go undetected. Requiring the mine operator to certify the examination was made and to record any identified defects gives credibility to the program and decreases the likelihood of a person being required to use a device that may not function as designed. In addition, this information is useful in determining how durable a device may be when subjected to the harsh conditions that are encountered during in-mine use. This allows for early detection of design problems that may require the manufacturer to make changes to a device in order to assure the device will continue to function as designed and provide adequate protection in the event of an emergency. II. Desired Focus Currently, the Mine Safety and Health Administration

(MSHA)is soliciting comments concerning the proposed extension. MSHA is particularly interested in comments that: • Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; • Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; • Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and • Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submissions of responses. A copy of the proposed information collection request may be viewed on the internet by accessing the MSHA home page ( *http://www.msha.gov/* ) and choosing “Rules and Regs”, then choosing “Fed Reg Docs.” III. Current Actions Currently, the Mine Safety and Health Administration

(MSHA)is soliciting comments concerning the proposed extension of the information collection related to examination and certification of self-rescue devices. Because of the rugged underground mining environment to which SCSRs are subjected, the potential for these devices being rendered inoperative is high. In the event of a mine fire, mine explosion, or mine inundation, the use of self-rescuers can be the difference between life and death. Therefore it is essential that these devices be examined regularly and that they are maintained in usable and operative condition. These minimum certification and recordkeeping requirements are necessary in order to maintain credibility in the program and provide reasonable assurance that mine operators conduct the required 90-day examination of the self-rescue devices. MSHA increased the inspection effort to include quarterly evaluation of the mine operators records as well as a physical examination of a representative number of self-rescue devices. On December 8, 2006, a new final rule entitled Emergency Mine Evacuation was published. The rule affected 30 CFR parts 48, 50, and 75. Specifically, the new rule affecting the estimate of the recordkeeping burdens imposed by 30 CFR 75.1714-3(e) is § 75.1714-4, *Additional self-contained self-rescuers* (SCSRs) which requires that in addition to the requirements in §§ 75.1714, 75.1714-1, 75.1714-2, and 75.1714-3, the mine operator shall provide for each person who is underground at least one additional SCSR device which provides protection for a period of one hour or longer, to cover all persons in the mine. Due to the large number of devices in use in the mining industry, (approximately 62,000 devices) it is essential that mine operators continue to certify that the 90-day examination was conducted on each device, and record the results for devices that failed the 90-day examination. *Type of Review:* Extension. *Agency:* Mine Safety and Health Administration. *Title:* Records of Results of Examinations of Self-Rescuers. *OMB Number:* 1219-0044. *Recordkeeping:* One Year. *Affected Public:* Business or other for-profit. *Total Respondents:* 719. *Total Responses:* 250,344. *Average Time per Response:* 30 minutes. *Estimated Total Burden Hours:* 124,375 hours. *Estimated Total Burden Cost:* $0. *Total Burden Cost (operating/maintaining):* $0.

Background Section 103(f) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, Pub. L. 91-173 as amended by Pub. L. 95-164, (Mine Act) establishes miners' rights which may be exercised through a representative. Title 30, Code of Federal Regulations CFR part 40 contains procedures which a person or organization must follow in order to be identified by the Secretary as a representative of miners. The regulations define what is meant by “representative of miners,” a term that is not defined in the Mine Act. Title 30, CFR 40.3 requires the following information to be filed with the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA):

(1)The name, address and telephone number of the representative or organization that will serve as representative;

(2)the name and address of the mine operator; the name, address and MSHA ID number, if known, of the mine;

(3)a copy of the document evidencing the designation of the representative;

(4)a statement as to whether the representative will serve for all purposes of the Act, or a statement of the limitation of the authority;

(5)the name, address and telephone number of an alternate;

(6)a statement that all the required information has been filed with the mine operator; and

(7)certification that all information filed is true and correct followed by the signature of the miners' representative. Title 30, CFR 40.4 requires that a copy of the notice designating the miners' representative be posted by the mine operator on the mine bulletin board and maintained in current status. Once the required information has been filed, a representative retains his or her status unless and until his or her designation is terminated. Under 30 CFR 40.5, a representative who wishes to terminate his or her designation must file a written statement with the appropriate district manager terminating his or her designation. Section 109(d) of the Mine Act, requires each operator of a coal or other mine to file with the Secretary of Labor (Secretary), the name and address of such mine, the name and address of the person who controls or operates the mine, and any revisions in such names and addresses. Title 30, CFR part 41 implements this requirement and provides for the mandatory use of Form 2000-7, Legal Identity Report, for notifying the MSHA of the legal identity of the mine operator. The legal identity for a mine operator is fundamental to enable the Secretary to properly ascertain the identity of persons and entities charged with violations of mandatory standards. It is also used in the assessment of civil penalties which, by statute, must take into account the size of the business, its economic viability, and its history of previous violations. Because of the rapid and frequent turnover in mining company ownership, and because of the statutory considerations regarding penalty assessments, the operator is required to file information regarding ownership interest in other mines held by the operator and relevant persons in a partnership, corporation or other organization. This information is also necessary to the Office of the Solicitor in determining proper parties to actions arising under the Mine Act. Under Title 30 CFR 56.1000 and 57.1000, operators of metal and nonmetal mines must notify MSHA when the operation of a mine will commence or when a mine is closed. Openings and closings of mines are dictated by the economic strength of the mined commodity, and by weather conditions prevailing at the mine site during various seasons. MSHA must be aware of openings and closings so that its resources can be used efficiently in achieving the requirements of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. 801 *et seq.* Section 103(a) of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. 813, requires that each underground mine be inspected in its entirety at least four times a year, and each surface mine at least two times per year. Mines which operate only during warmer weather must be scheduled for inspection during the spring, summer, and autumn seasons. Mines are sometimes located a great distance from MSHA field offices and the notification required by this standard precludes wasted time and trips. II. Desired Focus of Comments MSHA is particularly interested in comments which: • Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; • Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; • Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and • Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submissions of responses.

Background Title 30 Sections 71.400 through 71.402 and 75.1712-1 through 75.1712-3 require coal mine operators to provide bathing facilities, clothing change rooms, and sanitary flush toilet facilities in a location that is convenient for use of the miners. If the operator is unable to meet any or all of the requirements, he/she may apply for a waiver. Title 30 CFR Sections 71.403, 71.404, 75.1712-4 and 75.1712-5 provide procedures by which an operator may apply for and be granted a waiver. Applications are filed with the District Manager for the district in which the mine is located and contain the name and address of the mine operator, name and location of the mine, and a detailed statement of the grounds upon which the waiver is requested and the period of time for which it is requested. Waivers for surface coal mines may be granted for a period not to exceed one year; requests for an annual extension may be sought by the operator. Waivers for underground coal mines may be granted for extended periods of time based on the information provided by the mine operator in the request for a waiver. The purpose for the waiver is to assure the conditions at the mine make it impractical for the mine operator to provide the required facilities, and to document the circumstances for granting of the waiver. This gives the mine operator written documentation that the requirement(s) of the standard have been waived by MSHA and MSHA inspection personnel will not require the mine operator to comply with the part(s) of the standard included in the waiver. Without this written documentation, MSHA inspection personnel cannot be assured that a mine operator is not required to provide the required sanitary facilities. II. Desired Focus of Comments MSHA is particularly interested in comments which: • Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; • Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; • Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and • Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submissions of responses.

E7-12634 Filed 6-28-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7590-01-P SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION [Release No. 34-55945; File No. SR-BSE-2007-23] Self-Regulatory Organizations; Boston Stock Exchange, Inc.; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change and Amendment No. 1 Thereto Amending Section 5 (Obligations of Market Makers) of Chapter VI of the Rules of the Boston Options Exchange for Clarification Purposes Regarding the Guaranteed Directed Order June 22, 2007. Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”), 1 and Rule 19b-4 thereunder, 2 notice is hereby given that on June 1, 2007, the Boston Stock Exchange, Inc. (“BSE” or “Exchange”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items have been substantially prepared by the Exchange. BSE has filed the proposal as a non-controversial rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 3 and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) 4 thereunder, which renders the proposal effective upon filing with the Commission. On June 21, 2007, BSE filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change, as amended, from interested persons. 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). 2 17 CFR 240.19b-4. 3 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). 4 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The Exchange is proposing to amend Section 5 (Obligations of Market Makers) of Chapter VI of the Rules of the Boston Options Exchange (“BOX Rules”) for clarification purposes regarding the Guaranteed Directed Order (“GDO”). The text of the proposed rule is available at the Exchange, the Commission's Public Reference Room, and on the Exchange's Web site ( *http://www.bostonstock.com* ). II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change In its filing with the Commission, BSE included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements. A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose The Exchange is proposing to amend Section 5 (Obligations of Market Makers) of Chapter VI of the BOX Rules 5 to clarify that the GDO is exposed for one time period with an NBBO filter at the end of the exposition. The section of the BOX Rules which discusses the GDO contains a cross reference to Chapter V, Section 16(b). The Exchange proposes to extend the cross reference and numbering to reflect the specific subsection of the corresponding BOX Rule so that the Exchange's rules are accurate, comprehendible, and transparent to the marketplace. The GDO exposure time is not affected by this filing and remains three seconds, as set forth in Chapter VI, Section 5 of the BOX Rules. 5 Specifically, the Exchange is amending Chapter VI, Section 5(c)(iii)(2)(b)(5) of the BOX Rules. Telephone conversation between Terri Evans, Special Counsel, Division of Market Regulation, Commission, and Brian Donnelly, AVP Regulation and Compliance, BSE, on June 21, 2007 (clarifying the specific rule being amended by the proposed rule change as described in Amendment No. 1). 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act, 6 in general, and Section 6(b)(5) of the Act, 7 in particular, in that it is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, and to protect investors and the public interest. 6 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). 7 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others The Exchange has neither solicited nor received comments on the proposed rule change. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not

(i)significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest;

(ii)impose any significant burden on competition; and

(iii)become operative for 30 days after the date of the filing, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate if consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest, it has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 8 and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) 9 thereunder. 10 8 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). 9 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). 10 BSE provided the Commission with written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change. *See* Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act, and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder. 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A), 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii). The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay. The Commission believes waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Commission notes that the proposed rule change provides greater specificity as to a cross-reference within a rule, thereby avoiding confusion resulting from an incomplete cross-reference. Accordingly, the Commission designates the proposal to be operative upon filing with the Commission. 11 At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. 12 11 For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay of the proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 12 For purposes of calculating the 60-day period within which the Commission may summarily abrogate the proposed rule change, as amended, under Section 19(b)(3)(C) of the Act, the Commission considers the period to commence on June 21, 2007, the date on which BSE submitted Amendment No. 1. *See* 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(C). IV. Solicitation of Comments Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods: Electronic Comments • Use the Commission's Internet comment form ( *http://www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml* ); or • Send an e-mail to *rule-comments@sec.gov.* Please include File Number SR-BSE-2007-23 on the subject line.

To help the Commission process and review your comments more efficiently, please use only one method. The Commission will post all comments on the Commission's Internet Web site ( *http://www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml* ). Copies of the submission, all subsequent amendments, all written statements with respect to the proposed rule change that are filed with the Commission, and all written communications relating to the proposed rule change between the Commission and any person, other than those that may be withheld from the public in accordance with the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552, will be available for inspection and copying in the Commission's Public Reference Room, 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549, on official business days between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Copies of such filing also will be available for inspection and copying at the principal office of BSE.

ACTION: Notice of Intent (NOI). SUMMARY: The Federal Highway Administration

(FHWA)is issuing this notice to advise the public that FHWA will prepare an Environmental Assessment

(EA)to determine the need and feasibility of improvements to U.S. 50 in Jackson and Jennings Counties in Indiana. This project will adhere to the requirements of Section 6002 of SAFETEA-LU so that the steps completed during the EA process will not need to be revisited if the project is elevated to an Environmental Impact Statement

(EIS)in the future. The U.S. 50 improvement corridor is approximately 18 miles in length, running from the western terminus at I-65, near Seymour in Jackson County, to the eastern terminus near the Jennings/Ripley County Line, east of North Vernon. The objectives of this study are to assess the need for and feasibility of improvements to the U.S. 50 corridor as well as other alternatives for improving mobility and alleviating congestion in the urban area boundary of North Vernon and in the general project vicinity. DATES: Comments on the scope of the EA for the proposed project should be forwarded no later than July 30, 2007. ADDRESSES: Address all comments concerning this notice to Carl D. Camacho, P.E., Project Manager, Bernardin, Lochmueller & Associates, Inc. (BLA), 6125 South East Street (US 31 South), Indianapolis, IN 46227. He can be reached by telephone at

(317)232-5646. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in cooperation with INDOT, will prepare an EA to determine the need and feasibility of improvements to U.S. 50 in Jackson and Jennings Counties in Indiana. The U.S. 50 improvement corridor is approximately 18 miles in length, running from the western terminus at I-65, near Seymour in Jackson County, to the eastern terminus near the Jennings/Ripley County Line, east of North Vernon. Issues prompting this study include high through traffic volumes (especially trucks) on U.S. 50 through downtown North Vernon, high crash frequency along U.S. 50 from U.S. 31 to the east urban boundary of North Vernon, access to existing and potential commercial and industrial economic growth areas, statewide and regional transportation system mobility and development of the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center

(MUTC)east of North Vernon near Butlerville. The objectives of this study are to assess the feasibility of improvements to the U.S. 50 corridor, as well as other alternatives, for improving mobility and alleviating congestion in the urban area boundary of North Vernon and in the general project vicinity. This study will conform to Indiana's Streamlined EIS Procedures and the new SAFETEA-LU Section 6002 requirements. *Environmental Issues:* Possible environmental impacts include displacement of commercial and residential properties, increased noise in some areas, decreased noise in other areas, effects to historical properties or archaeological sites, viewshed impacts, impacts to water resources, wetlands, prime farmland, sensitive biological species and habitat, land use compatibility impacts and impacts to agricultural lands. *Alternatives:* The EA will consider alternatives that include the No-Build (Do Nothing) Alternative as well as a full range of build alternatives ranging from transportation system management improvements to major capital investments on existing and new alignment. *Scoping and Comment:* FHWA encourages broad participation in the EA process and review of the resulting environmental documents. Comments, questions, and suggestions related to the project and potential socioeconomic and environmental concerns are invited from all interested agencies and the public at large to ensure that the full range of issues related to the proposed action and all reasonable alternatives are considered and all significant issues are identified. These comments, questions, and suggestions should be forwarded to the address listed above. Early Coordination Letters were sent to the appropriate Federal, State and local agencies on January 31, 2007, describing the proposed action. An invitation letter was sent to potential Participating Agencies inviting the agencies to be Participating Agencies in the study, encouraging agency comments and suggestions concerning the proposed project, and further defining the roles of Participating Agencies. Existing and future conditions and issues within the project area have been identified and presented to the public in a widely advertised Public Information Meeting held in North Vernon, Indiana, on Thursday, February 8, 2007. The draft purpose and need for the project has been developed and preliminary alternatives identified. The purpose and need and preliminary alternatives are currently available for public review and comment. A Public Information Meeting was held on June 26, 2007 and a Resource Agency Meeting was held on June 29, 2007. Agencies and the public will also have an opportunity to comment when the preliminary alternatives have been evaluated and screened and again upon identification of the preferred alternative(s). Notices of availability for the purpose and need and identification of preliminary alternatives, evaluation and screening of preliminary alternatives, and identification of preferred alternative(s) are being provided through direct mail, e-mail, the project Web site at *http://www.us50northvernon.org* and other media. Notification is also being sent to Federal, State, local agencies, persons and organizations that submit comments or questions. Precise schedules and locations for public meetings will be announced in the local news media and the project Web site. Interested individuals and organizations may request to be included on the mailing list for distribution of meeting announcements and associated information.

(520)388-4255, *mmaiefski@azdot.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that the FHWA and other Federal agencies have taken final agency actions by issuing approval for the proposed construction of the Yuma Area Service Highway in southwest Arizona. The highway will be approximately 24 miles in length, have two travel lanes in each direction, and generally have a right-of-way width of 240- to 280-feet with wider right-of-way at traffic interchanges. FHWA is the Federal lead agency for the Environmental Assessment, which was prepared in conjunction with the Arizona Department of Transportation and the Yuma Metropolitan Planning Organization. The Bureau of Land Management, US Bureau of Reclamation, Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, and the US Navy served as cooperating agencies. The project would facilitate existing and future travel and movement of goods between the US/Mexico border crossing and Interstate 8, remove commercial traffic and hazardous cargo from populated and congested areas, relieve existing and anticipated future congestion on US 95 through local communities, and reduce the potential for increased traffic accidents in populated areas. The actions by the Federal agencies, and the laws under which such actions were taken, are described in the Final Environmental Assessment for the project, approved on August 11, 2005, a Finding of No Significant Impact approved on May 11, 2007, and in other documents in the FHWA project files.
