BILLING CODE 4160-01-S DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Office of Inspector General Privacy Act of 1974, New OIG Privacy Act System of Records: Litigation Files AGENCY: Office of Inspector General (OIG), HHS. ACTION: Notice of proposed new Privacy Act systems of records. SUMMARY: The Office of Inspector General
(OIG)is proposing a new system of records, entitled Litigation Files, Administrative Complaints, and Personnel Actions, HHS/OS/OIG/OCIG (09-90-0077). This proposed notice is in accordance with the Privacy Act requirement that agencies publish their systems of records in the **Federal Register** when there is a revision, change, or addition. This new system will replicate the existing system of records, entitled Litigation Files, Administrative Complaints, and Adverse Personnel Actions, HHS/OS/OGC (09-90-0064), to reflect that responsibility for providing legal services to the Inspector General has transferred to OIG's Office of Counsel to the Inspector General (OCIG). The existing Litigation Files system of records (09-90-0064) remains with the Department's Office of General Counsel and will be unchanged. This notice specifically covers that portion of the records that transferred to, or have been since created and maintained by, OCIG. The Litigation Files, Administrative Complaints, and Personnel Actions, HHS/OS/OIG/OCIG system of records will be maintained for the purposes of representing OIG and its components in court cases and administrative proceedings, in accordance with the Inspector General Act of 1978 (5 U.S.C. App.). DATES: *Effective Date:* This system of records will become effective without further notice on June 16, 2008, unless comments received on or before that date result in a contrary determination. *Comment Date:* Comments on this new system of records will be considered if we receive them at the addresses provided below no later than 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on May 15, 2008.

(OIG)proposes to establish a new Privacy Act system of records, 09-90-0077, Litigation Files, Administrative Complaints, and Personnel Actions, HHS/OS/OIG/OCIG. The new system will duplicate an existing Privacy Act system of Records—Litigation Files, Administrative Complaints, and Adverse Personnel Actions HHS/OS/OGC (09-90-0064)—which was last revised and updated in the **Federal Register** on November 9, 1994 (59 FR 55845), by adding a new routine use to permit the disclosure of information from this system to certain individuals working in various offices within the Office of the Secretary, but who do not have the status of agency employees and, in many instances, do not receive pay for their work. The new system of records—Litigation Files, Administrative Complaints, and Personnel Actions, HHS/OS/OIG/OCIG (09-90-0077)—will replicate the 09-90-0064 system of records, but will modify the “System Name,” “System Location,” “Categories of Individuals Covered by the System,” “Authority for Maintenance of the System,” “Routine Uses,” “Purposes,” “System Safeguards,” and “System Manager(s) and Address” sections. Records in the system have been located and maintained in OIG's headquarters. The modification of the “System Name,” “System Location,” “Authority for Maintenance of the System,” “Routine Uses,” “Purposes,” “Storage,” “System Safeguards,” and “System Manager(s) and Address” sections are to reflect that responsibility for providing legal services to the Inspector General transferred to the Office of Counsel to the Inspector General (OCIG). The Inspector General Act of 1978 established OIG “to conduct and supervise audits and investigations relating to the programs and operations” of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Within OIG, OCIG
(1)provides general legal services to OIG including, among other things, advice and representation on HHS programs and operations, administrative law issues, and criminal procedure;
(2)imposes program exclusions and civil money penalties on health care providers and litigates those actions within the Department;
(3)represents OIG in the global settlement of cases arising under the False Claims Act; and
(4)represents OIG in personnel actions. Description of the Proposed System of Records The Litigation Files, Administrative Complaints, and Personnel Actions, HHS/OS/OIG/OCIG system will enable OCIG to access and maintain records for the purpose of representing OIG and its components in court cases and administrative proceedings. The system will house records pertaining to litigation, administrative complaints, and personnel actions in which OIG is, or was, involved. Agency Policies, Procedures, and Restrictions on the Routine Use The Privacy Act permits OIG to disclose information without an individual's consent if the information is to be used for a purpose that is compatible with the purposes for which the information was collected. Any such disclosure of data is known as a routine use. We are proposing to establish the following routine use disclosures of records maintained in the system: 1. Disclosure may be made to a congressional office from the record of an individual in response to an inquiry from the congressional office made at the request of that individual. 2. In the event of litigation, information from the system of records may be disclosed to the Department of Justice, to a judicial or administrative tribunal, opposing counsel, and witnesses, in the course of proceedings involving HHS, any HHS employee (where the matter pertains to the employee's official duties), or the United States, or any agency thereof where the litigation is likely to affect HHS, or HHS is a party or has an interest in the litigation and the use of the information is relevant and necessary to the litigation. 3. In the event that a system of records maintained by this agency to carry out its functions indicates a violation or potential violation of law, whether civil, criminal or regulatory in nature, and whether arising by general statute or particular program statute, or by regulation, rule or order issued pursuant thereto, the relevant records in the system of records may be referred, as a routine use, to the appropriate agency, whether Federal, or foreign, charged with the responsibility of investigating or prosecuting such violation or charged with enforcing or implementing the statute or rule, regulation, or order issued pursuant thereto. 4. In the event the Department deems it desirable or necessary, in determining whether particular records are required to be disclosed under the Freedom of Information Act, disclosure may be made to the Department of Justice for the purpose of obtaining its advice. 5. A record from this system of records may be disclosed as a “routine use” to a Federal, State, or local agency maintaining civil, criminal, or other relevant enforcement records or other pertinent records, such as current licenses, if necessary to obtain a record relevant to an agency decision concerning the hiring or retention of an employee, the issuance of a security clearance, the letting of a contract, or the issuance of a license, grant, or other benefit. 6. A record from this system of records may be disclosed to a Federal agency in response to its request, in connection with the hiring or retention of an employee, the issuance of a security clearance, the reporting of an investigation of an employee, the letting of a contract, or the issuance of a license, grant, or other benefit by the requesting agency, to the extent that the record is relevant and necessary to the requesting agency's decision on the matter. 7. Information in this system of records may be disclosed to a Federal, State, or local agency maintaining civil, criminal, or other relevant enforcement records, or other pertinent records, such as current licenses, if necessary to obtain a record relevant to an agency concerning the hiring or retention of an employee, the issuance of a license, grant, or other benefit. 8. To student volunteers and other individuals performing functions for the Department, but technically not having the status of agency employees, if they need access to the records in order to perform their assigned agency functions. 9. A record may be disclosed to appropriate Federal agencies and Department contractors that have a need to know the information for the purpose of assisting the Department's efforts to respond to a suspected or confirmed breach of the security or confidentiality of information maintained in this system of records, and the information disclosed is relevant and necessary for that assistance. Safeguards OIG has safeguards in place for authorized users and monitors users to ensure against unauthorized use. The system will conform to all applicable Federal laws and regulations and Federal, HHS, and OIG policies and standards as they relate to information security and data privacy. Effects of the Proposed System of Records on Individual Rights This system is established in accordance with the principles and requirements of the Privacy Act and will collect, use, and disseminate information only as prescribed therein. Data in this system will be subject to the authorized releases in accordance with the routine uses identified in this system of records notice. OIG will take precautionary measures to minimize the risks of unauthorized access to the records and the potential harm to individual privacy or other personal or property rights of applicants whose data are maintained in the system. OCIG will make disclosures from the proposed system in accordance with the Privacy Act. OCIG does not anticipate an unfavorable effect on individual privacy as a result of the disclosure of information relating to individuals. This proposed change will not otherwise increase access to these records. Dated: April 10, 2008. Daniel R.

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: 2009 National Survey on Drug Use and Health—(OMB No. 0930-0110)—Revision The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), formerly the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA) is a survey of the civilian, non-institutionalized population of the United States 12 years old and older. The data are used to determine the prevalence of use of tobacco products, alcohol, illicit substances, and illicit use of prescription drugs. The results are used by SAMHSA, ONDCP, Federal government agencies, and other organizations and researchers to establish policy, direct program activities, and better allocate resources. In the 2009 NSDUH, one scale measuring impairment from mental health issues will be adopted. The decision to adopt either the Sheehan or the WHO-DAS is currently being evaluated in the 2008 NSDUH by using the SCID-I/NP as a follow-up interview with a subsample of respondents. Based upon a substantive review of questions in the Youth Mental Health Services Utilization module, updates will be made to this section. These updates will also be reflected in the Parenting Experiences module, in order to refine the analysis of overall treatment rates. The remaining modular components of the questionnaire will remain essentially unchanged except for minor modifications to wording. As with all NSDUH/NHSDA surveys conducted since 1999, the sample size of the survey for 2009 will be sufficient to permit prevalence estimates for each of the fifty states and the District of Columbia.

ACTION: Notice of availability and receipt of application. SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce that the County of San Mateo and the City of Brisbane, acting on the behalf of the County of San Mateo and Cities of Brisbane, Daly City, and South San Francisco (Applicants or Permittees), have applied for an amendment to an incidental take permit under the Federal Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). We are considering the issuance of an amended permit to the Applicants that would add the authorization for take of the federally endangered callippe silverspot butterfly ( *Speyeria callippe callippe* ) ( *callippe* ) and the federally threatened bay checkerspot butterfly ( *Ephydra editha bayensis* ) ( *bay checkerspot* ) incidental to the Applicant's activities outlined in their proposed amendments to the 1982 San Bruno Mountain Habitat Conservation Plan
(HCP)in San Mateo County, California. The HCP amendments would adjust the boundaries of Conserved Habitat within the 228-acre Northeast Ridge (Administrative Parcel 1-07) and provide supplemental HCP funding provisions that would allow additional habitat management and monitoring activities to occur on the approximately 2,828 acres of habitat conserved and managed under the HCP on San Bruno Mountain. We request comments from the public on the permit application and an Environmental Assessment. The permit application includes the *Biological Study and Analysis of Conserved Habitat for Amendments to the Habitat Conservation Plan for San Bruno Mountain and Incidental Take Permit PRT 2-9818* (Study). The Study describes the proposed changes to the 1982 HCP as it was last amended in 1989, and the measures that the Applicants would undertake to minimize and mitigate take of the covered species. DATES: We must receive your written comments on or before June 16, 2008. ADDRESSES: Please address written comments to Eric Tattersall, Acting Chief, Conservation Planning and Recovery Division, Fish and Wildlife Service, Sacramento Fish and Wildlife Office, 2800 Cottage Way, W-2605, Sacramento, California 95825. You also may send comments by facsimile to
(916)414-6713. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eric Tattersall, Acting Chief, Conservation Planning and Recovery Division, Sacramento Fish and Wildlife Office, at
(916)414-6600. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Availability of Documents You may obtain copies of these documents for review by contacting the individual named above [see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT ]. Documents also will be available for public inspection, by appointment, during normal business hours at the Sacramento Fish and Wildlife Office [see ADDRESSES ]. Background Section 9 of the Act and Federal regulations prohibit the “take” of fish and wildlife species listed as endangered or threatened (16 U.S.C. 1538). Take of federally listed fish or wildlife is defined under the Act to include the following activities: 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). We may, under limited circumstances, issue permits to authorize incidental take (i.e., take that is incidental to, and not the purpose of, the carrying out of an otherwise lawful activity). Regulations governing incidental take permits for endangered species are found in 50 CFR 17.22 and 50 CFR 17.32. San Bruno Mountain is located on the northern San Francisco Peninsula, just south of the San Mateo-San Francisco County boundary. The Mountain is surrounded on all sides by the cities of Colma to the west, Daly City to the north, Brisbane to the east, and South San Francisco to the south. The San Bruno Mountain HCP study area consists of 3,537 acres, of which 2,828 acres are presently Conserved Habitat. The County of San Mateo and City of Brisbane are requesting, on behalf of the HCP permittees, an amendment to an existing incidental take permit for activities covered by proposed amendments to the 1982 HCP, as amended. The proposed HCP amendments would include the following changes. Chapter VII of the HCP would be revised to replace the approved operating program for development of the Northeast Ridge (the 1989 Vesting Tentative Map (VTM)) to allow for the development of Unit II-Neighborhood II (UII-NII) under a proposed 2007 modification (the 2007 VTM). The reconfiguration would reduce the amount of land to be developed and increase the size and value of Conserved Habitat within the Northeast Ridge, as well as reduce impacts to the Species of Concern covered under the HCP. Section V.B of the HCP would be amended to address supplemental funding of four million dollars to be provided by the developer, Brookfield Northeast Ridge II LLC, concomitant to development of UII-NII within the Northeast Ridge. These funds would establish an HCP Endowment, which would be funded incrementally upon the granting of final map approval for the lots in UII-NII, pursuant to an agreement between Brookfield Northeast Ridge II LLC and the City of Brisbane. The HCP Endowment would be managed by the HCP Trustees and would be available to fund ongoing habitat management and monitoring activities described in the Habitat Management Plan
(HMP)that is appended to the Study. Section V.B would also be amended to increase the annual charge per dwelling unit and per 1,000 feet of floor area for commercial and industrial activities within the portion of the HCP area under the City of Brisbane's jurisdiction. All funds from the annual charge would be part of the HCP's Trust Fund and managed by the Trustees. These amendments and the biological analysis required by the 1982 HCP are detailed in the Study. The Study evaluates the proposed change to the boundary of the Conserved Habitat on the Northeast Ridge parcel described in the HCP and considers the effect of this action, and ongoing management and monitoring activities, on the callippe, the listed species on the existing incidental take permit (the mission blue butterfly ( *Icaricia icarioides missionensis* ), San Bruno elfin butterfly ( *Callophrys mossii bayensis* ), bay checkerspot, and San Francisco garter snake ( *Thamnophis sirtalis tetrataenia* ), and other listed species that currently occur or have been historically documented on the Mountain, including the California red-legged frog ( *Rana aurora draytonii* ). It also considers the effects of grading that occurred in 2007 for the installation of infrastructure and other drainage and slope stability improvements deemed necessary by the City of Brisbane for public health, safety, and welfare reasons (2007 Infrastructure Grading). The Service's Environmental Assessment considers the environmental consequences of three alternatives. The Proposed Project Alternative consists of the issuance of an amendment to the incidental take permit and implementation of the Study and HMP. With Alternative 2 (1989 Northeast Ridge Plan), an amendment to the existing incidental take permit would be issued to add take coverage for the callippe silverspot and bay checkerspot for the adopted HCP, which includes the 1989 VTM for Northeast Ridge and continuation of habitat management activities under the existing funding program. With the No Action alternative, there would be no issuance of an amendment to the existing incidental take permit to add take coverage for the callippe silverspot and bay checkerspot. The proposed reconfiguration of the Northeast Ridge would not occur, nor would the supplementary funding for vegetation management on the Mountain be provided. Under the No Action alternative, certain types of habitat management activities for conserved habitats on the Mountain would not have take authorization. Public Review We invite the public to review the Plan, Implementing Agreement and Environmental Assessment during a 60-day public comment period (see DATES ). 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 may 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. We provide this notice pursuant to section 10(a) of the Act and the regulations for implementing NEPA, as amended (40 CFR 1506.6). We will evaluate the application, associated documents, and comments submitted thereon to determine whether the application meets the requirements of NEPA regulations and section 10(a) of the Act. If we determine that those requirements are met, we will issue a permit to the Applicant for the incidental take of the covered species. We will make our final permit decision no sooner than 60 days from the date of this notice. Dated: April 9, 2008.

E8-8051 Filed 4-14-08; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4310-55-P DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Bureau of Reclamation Fish and Wildlife Service DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Marine Fisheries Service; Bay Delta Conservation Plan for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California AGENCIES: Bureau of Reclamation, Interior; Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior; National Marine Fisheries Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Commerce. ACTION: Notice of Intent
(NOI)to prepare an environmental impact statement/environmental impact report (EIS/EIR) and notice of public scoping meetings. SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA)of 1969, as amended, the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and the National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS)intend to serve as co-lead agencies in the preparation of a joint EIS/EIR for the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP). The California Department of Water Resources
(DWR)will serve as the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Reclamation will serve as the administrative lead for all actions related to this **Federal Register** Notice. The BDCP is a conservation plan being prepared to meet the requirements of the Federal Endangered Species Act (FESA), the California Endangered Species Act (CESA), and the State of California's Natural Communities Conservation Planning Act (NCCPA). DWR and State and Federal water contractors intend to apply for FESA and CESA incidental take permits
(ITP)for water operations and management activities in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. These incidental take authorizations would allow the incidental take of threatened and endangered species resulting from covered activities and conservation measures that will be identified through the planning process including those associated with water operations of the Federal Central Valley Project (CVP), as operated by Reclamation, the California State Water Project (SWP), as operated by DWR, as well as operations of certain Mirant Delta LLC (Mirant Delta) power plants. Additionally, the BDCP will, if feasible, be used as the basis for FESA compliance by Reclamation, including compliance with Section 7 of FESA in coordination with FWS and NMFS. Ultimately, the BDCP is intended to secure authorizations that would allow projects that restore and protect water supply and reliability, water quality, and ecosystem health to proceed within a stable regulatory framework. On January 24, 2008, FWS and NMFS issued a NOI to conduct public scoping and prepare an EIR/EIS regarding the BDCP for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California (73 FR 4178). As the BDCP effort has progressed, Reclamation has determined it has a substantive interest in the development and ultimate implementation of the BDCP. Specifically, Reclamation seeks to improve water supply reliability for its Federal water contractors, while meeting its FESA obligations. Environmental constraints, including measures to protect endangered species in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, impair that water supply reliability. The BDCP will recommend actions and conservation measures for implementation to improve both environmental conditions in the Delta and water supply reliability. Reclamation expects the recommended actions and conservation measures to include activities that are within Reclamation's responsibilities. The NOI is, therefore, being reissued to include Reclamation as a co-lead agency, update the status of the BDCP planning process, correct an error in the January 24, 2008, NOI, and to provide notice of scoping meetings. As the Federal lead agencies continue to refine the purpose and need for the project, additional public notices regarding scoping will be issued and additional scoping meetings will be held. DATES: Ten public scoping meetings will be held at various times and locations throughout California. See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for public scoping meeting dates. Written comments on the scope of the BDCP or issues to be addressed in the EIS/EIR must be received no later than May 30, 2008. The scoping period on the initial Notice of Intent published jointly by FWS and NMFS on January 24, 2008 (73 FR 4178), is scheduled to close on March 24, 2008. Comments submitted under that NOI need not be resubmitted, as all comments will be consolidated and incorporated under this NOI for review and response by the co-lead agencies (i.e., Reclamation, FWS, and NMFS). ADDRESSES: Send written comments to Patti Idlof, Bureau of Reclamation, 2800 Cottage Way, MP-150, Sacramento, CA 95825, e-mail to *pidlof@mp.usbr.gov,* or fax to

Modification to January 24, 2008, NOI published by FWS and NMFS The NOI dated January 24, 2008 (73FR4178) erroneously identified Contra Costa Water District
(CCWD)as a Potentially Regulated Entity (PRE). CCWD is a participant in the process, but has not yet and may not become a PRE. Background Information The BDCP is being prepared through a collaboration of State, Federal, and local water agencies, and Mirant Delta, an electric power generating facility located in West Pittsburg, California in Contra Costa County, under:
(1)Section 10(a)(1)(B) of the FESA of 1973, as amended, and
(2)the NCCPA, California Fish and Game Code, Section 2800 et. seq., or Fish and Game Code Section 2081 of CESA. The BDCP is intended to provide
(1)Reclamation the ability to obtain a Biological Opinion and incidental take statements
(ITS)pursuant to Section 7 of FESA and
(2)the basis for the DWR and State and Federal water contractors to apply for ITPs pursuant to Section 10 of FESA and California Fish and Game Code Section 2835 or 2081 for implementation of the BDCP. DWR and Reclamation, along with the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD), the Kern County Water Agency (KCWA), the Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD), Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, Zone 7 Water Agency (Zone 7), the San Luis and Delta-Mendota Water Authority (SLDMWA), the Westlands Water District (WWD), and Mirant Delta (known collectively as the Potentially Regulated Entities or PREs) are currently preparing the BDCP for existing and proposed covered activities within the Statutory Delta. Some of the elements of the BDCP will complement the actions identified in the State of California's Delta Vision process. It is the goal of the PREs that the BDCP follow the processes that meet: 1. The requirements of Section 10(a)(1)(B) of the FESA for the non-federal PREs and result in the issuance of ITPs from the FWS and NMFS to those PREs; 2. The requirements of an ITP under the California fish and wildlife protection laws, either pursuant to Section 2835 or Section 2081, resulting in take authority under the Fish and Game Code; and 3. The requirements of the Section 7 consultation process under the FESA, resulting in the issuance of Biological Opinions, and ITSs, from the NMFS and FWS on specific activities of certain members of the PREs. The planning efforts for the BDCP are in the preliminary stages. However, the collective goals of the PREs will help form the purpose and need statement for the project as required by NEPA and the project objective as required by CEQA. Formal preparation of a draft EIS/EIR will commence when the planning efforts progress further in the coming months. The BDCP is being prepared with the cooperation of the FWS, NMFS, California Resources Agency, California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), the PREs, and various stakeholders, including The Nature Conservancy, Environmental Defense, Defenders of Wildlife, the California Farm Bureau, the Natural Heritage Institute, American Rivers, Contra Costa Water District, and The Bay Institute. These organizations are members of the Steering Committee, which is helping to guide preparation of the BDCP. The regulatory agencies, FWS, NMFS, and CDFG are participating in the Steering Committee to provide technical input and guidance in support of the Steering Committee's efforts to complete the BDCP. Other applicants, co-applicants, or beneficiaries of an ITP, referred to as PREs, may be identified during the planning process. The participants are undertaking these planning efforts pursuant to:
(1)The Planning Agreement that was signed October, 2006, and amended April, 2007, to guide development of the BDCP and
(2)the “Points of Agreement for Continuing into the Planning Process” dated November 16, 2007 (see Resources Agency Web site, *http://resources.ca.gov/bdcp/* for these agreements). The Points of Agreement document provides a summary of the BDCP planning process to date, along with future direction and procedures. The website provides access to documentation of the planning process, and a schedule of past and future planning activities. BDCP Description The BDCP will have several core purposes: Habitat restoration and enhancement to increase the quality and quantity of habitat in the Delta; other conservation actions to help address a number of stressors on covered species; conveyance facilities to enhance operational flexibility and water supply reliability while providing greater opportunities for habitat improvements and fishery conservation; water operations and management actions to achieve conservation and water supply goals; and a comprehensive monitoring, assessment, and adaptive management program guided by independent scientific input. Additional core purposes of the BDCP are to provide for the conservation of covered species within the planning area; to protect and restore certain aquatic, riparian, and associated terrestrial natural communities that support these covered species; and to provide for and restore water quality, water supplies, and ecosystem health within a stable regulatory framework. The EIS/EIR will evaluate the effects of implementing the BDCP, conveyance alternatives, and power line alignments, other nonstructural alternatives, and describe the permits necessary for BDCP implementation. The BDCP will likely consist of several major elements, including new capital improvements to the water supply conveyance system, a restoration program for important habitats within and adjacent to the Delta in order to improve the ecological productivity and sustainability of the Delta, and monitoring and adaptive management for the restoration program. The plan will also likely include operational improvements for the water supply system in the near-term and for the long-term once any capital improvements have been completed and are operational. Covered Activities The BDCP covered activities may include, but are not limited to, existing or new activities related to: • Existing Delta conveyance elements and operations of the CVP and SWP; • New Delta conveyance facilities (including power line alignments) and operations of the CVP and SWP generally described in the BDCP November 2007 Points of Agreement; • Operational activities, including emergency preparedness of the CVP and SWP in the Delta; • Operational activities in the Delta related to water transfers involving water contractors or to serve environmental programs; • Maintenance of the CVP, SWP, and other PREs' facilities in the Delta; • Facility improvements of the CVP and SWP within the Statutory Delta (California Water Code Section 12220); • Ongoing operation of and recurrent and future projects related to other Delta water users, as defined by the Planning Agreement; • Projects designed to improve Delta salinity conditions; and • Conservation measures included in the BDCP, including, but not limited to, fishery related habitat restoration projects, adaptive management, and monitoring activities in the Delta. Covered Species The covered species that are the initial focus of the BDCP include certain aquatic species such as: • Central Valley steelhead *Oncorhynchus mykiss;* • Central Valley Chinook salmon *Oncorhynchus tshawytscha* (spring-run and fall/late fall-runs); • Sacramento River Chinook salmon *Oncorhynchus tshawytscha* (winter-run); • Delta smelt *Hypomesus transpacificus;* • Green sturgeon *Acipenser medirostris;* • White sturgeon *Acipenser transmontanus;* • Splittail *Pogonichthys macrolepidotus;* and • Longfin smelt *Spirinchus thaleichthys.* Other species that will be considered for inclusion in the BDCP include, but may not be limited to: • Swainson's hawk *Buteo swainsoni;* • Bank swallow *Riparia riparia;* • Giant garter snake *Thamnophis gigas;* and • Valley elderberry longhorn beetle *Desmocerus californicus dimorphus.* This list identifies the species that will be evaluated for inclusion in the BDCP as proposed covered species; however, the list may change as the planning process progresses. The participants anticipate that species may be added or removed from the list once more is learned about the nature of the covered activities and the impact of covered activities on native species within the planning area. BDCP Planning Goals The BDCP will include goals and objectives related to the management of covered activities and the protection of covered species and their habitats. As described in the Planning Agreement, the planning goals include: 1. Provide for the conservation and management of covered species within the planning area; 2. Preserve, restore, and enhance aquatic, riparian, and associated terrestrial natural communities and ecosystems that support covered species within the planning area through conservation partnerships; 3. Allow for projects that restore and protect water supply reliability, water quality, ecosystem, and ecosystem health to proceed within a stable regulatory framework; 4. Provide a means to implement covered activities in a manner that complies with applicable State and federal fish and wildlife protection laws, including the NCCPA or CESA, FESA, and other environmental laws, including CEQA and NEPA; 5. Provide a basis for permits necessary to lawfully take covered species; 6. Provide a comprehensive means to coordinate and standardize mitigation and compensation requirements for covered activities within the planning area; 7. Provide a less costly, more efficient project review process which results in greater conservation values than project-by-project, species-by-species review, and; 8. Provide clear expectations and regulatory assurances regarding covered activities occurring within the planning area. Project Area The planning area for the BDCP will consist of the aquatic ecosystems and natural communities and, potentially, the adjacent riparian and floodplain natural communities within the Statutory Delta. The Statutory Delta includes parts of Yolo, Solano, Contra Costa, San Joaquin, and Sacramento counties. However, it may be necessary for the BDCP to include conservation actions outside of the Statutory Delta that advance the goals and objectives of the BDCP within the Delta, including as appropriate, conservation actions in the Suisun Marsh, Suisun Bay, and areas upstream of the Delta. Any conservation actions outside the Statutory Delta would be implemented pursuant to cooperative agreements or similar mechanisms with local agencies, interested non-governmental organizations, landowners, and others. The EIS/EIR project area for which impacts are evaluated may be different than the BDCP geographic scope. Basis for Preliminary Alternatives As part of the BDCP process, the Steering Committee evaluated potential options to address water supply reliability, water quality, and ecosystem health in the Delta. Initial options included various combinations of water conveyance facilities and habitat restoration actions. As a result of this evaluation, the Steering Committee developed the Points of Agreement document that provides an overall framework for moving forward with development of the BDCP. Previous evaluations and potential improvements to the water conveyance system and strategies for in-Delta habitat restoration and enhancement outlined in the Points of Agreement document will be used for the basis of alternative development, but will not preclude or limit the range of alternatives to be analyzed under NEPA. Statutory Authority Reclamation, as administrative lead for this **Federal Register** action, provides this notice in accordance with NEPA regulations found in 40 CFR 1501.7. NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321 *et seq.* ) requires that Federal agencies conduct an environmental analysis of their proposed actions to determine if the actions may significantly affect the human environment. Under NEPA and its implementing regulations (40 CFR 1500 *et seq.* ; NOAA Administrative Order 216-6), a reasonable range of alternatives to the proposed action are to be developed and considered in an EIS/EIR prepared by the FWS and NMFS. Alternatives considered for analysis in an EIS/EIR may include variations in the scope or types of covered activities; variations in the location, amount, and types of conservation measures and the timing of project activities; variations in permit duration; or a combination of these or other elements. In addition, as required by NEPA, the EIS will identify significant direct, indirect, and cumulative effects, and possible mitigation for those significant effects, on biological resources, land use, air quality, water quality, water resources, socioeconomics, environmental justice, cultural resources, and other environmental issues that could occur with the implementation of the proposed action and alternatives. Request for Comments The purpose of this notice is to advise other Federal and State agencies, affected Tribes, and the public of our intention to continue to gather information to support the preparation of an EIS/EIR, to obtain suggestions and information from other agencies and the public on the scope of alternatives and issues to be addressed in the EIS/EIR, and to identify important issues raised by the public related to the development and implementation of the BDCP. Written comments from interested parties are invited to ensure that the full range of alternatives and issues related to the development of the BDCP is identified. Comments during this stage of the scoping process will only be accepted in written form. All comments received, including names and addresses, will become part of the official administrative record and may be made available to the public. A similar notice is being published by DWR in accordance with CEQA requirements. Comments and participation in the scoping process are encouraged.

ACTION: Notice of availability. SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announces that the Final Comprehensive Conservation Plan
(CCP)and Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS)is available for Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge. The Final CCP/EIS was prepared pursuant to the National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act of 1966, as amended by the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997, and the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. Goals and objectives in the CCP describe how the agency intends to manage the refuge over the next 15 years. DATES: A Record of Decision will be signed by the Regional Director, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 3, Fort Snelling, Minnesota, no sooner than 30 days after publication of this notice by the Environmental Protection Agency, in the **Federal Register** . ADDRESSES: Copies of the Final CCP/EIS may be viewed at the Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge Headquarters and public libraries near the refuge. You may access and download a copy via the Planning Web site at *http://www.fws.gov/midwest/planning/trempealeau,* or you may obtain a copy on compact disk by contacting: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Division of Conservation Planning, Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building, 1 Federal Drive, Fort Snelling, Minnesota 55111 (1-800-247-1247, extension 5429) or Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge, W28488 Refuge Road, Trempealeau, WI 54661-7246 (608-539-2311). A limited number of hardcopies for distribution will be available at the Refuge Headquarters. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Vickie Hirschboeck,
(608)539-2311 extension 12. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Refuge, established by an Executive Order in 1936 to provide a refuge and breeding ground for migratory birds and other wildlife, encompasses 6,226 acres. The Refuge is part of the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge Complex. An estimated 70,000 visitors enjoy birding, hiking, biking, hunting, fishing, or photography at the Refuge. Over 2,000 young people learn about their environment each year through education programs. A dedicated force of volunteers contributes to the quality of the visitor experience, as well as successful habitat management. The Draft CCP/EIS was released for public review June 12, 2007, for a 60-day comment period ending August 11, 2007. During the comment period the Refuge hosted a public meeting and a workshop attended by a total of 28 people. We received written comments from 18 individuals, two special interest groups, and two governmental agencies during the comment period. In response to comments by the State of Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, we made three modifications to species lists, added three strategies, and modified one objective and accompanying strategy in the preferred alternative. We also amended our discussion of climate change impacts. We consider all modifications minor. When the Record of Decision is available, we will publish a notice of availability in the **Federal Register** . The Record of Decision will document which alternative in the Final CCP/EIS will become the 15-year CCP for the Refuge. The National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act of 1966, as amended by the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997 (16 U.S.C. 668dd-668ee et seq.), requires the Service to develop a CCP for each National Wildlife Refuge. The purpose in developing a CCP is to provide refuge managers with a 15-year strategy for achieving refuge purposes and contributing toward the mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System, consistent with sound principles of fish and wildlife management, conservation, legal mandates, and Service policies. In addition to outlining broad management direction for conserving wildlife and their habitats, the CCP identifies wildlife-dependent recreational opportunities available to the public, including opportunities for hunting, fishing, wildlife observation and photography, and environmental education and interpretation. We will review and update these CCPs at least every 15 years in accordance with the National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act of 1966, as amended by the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997, and the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370d).
