Download as PDF 8764 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 35 / Wednesday, February 23, 2005 / Notices ACTION: Notice of a finding of no significant impact. SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969; the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 CFR part 1500); and the Natural Resources Conservation Service Regulations (7 CFR part 650); the Natural Resources Conservation Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, gives notice that an environmental impact statement is not being prepared for the rehabilitation of Floodwater Retarding Structure No. 4 of the Martinez Creek Watershed, Bexar County, Texas. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Larry D. Butler, Ph.D, State Conservationist, Natural Resources Conservation Service, 101 South Main, Temple, Texas 76501–7682, telephone (254) 742–9800. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental assessment of this federally assisted action indicates that the project will not cause significant local, regional, or national impacts on the environment. As a result of these findings, Larry D. Butler, Ph.D, State Conservationist, has determined that the preparation and review of an environmental impact statement is not needed for this project. The project will rehabilitate Floodwater Retarding Structure No. 4 to maintain the present level of flood control benefits and comply with the current performance and safety standards. Rehabilitation of the site will require the dam to be modified to meet current performance and safety standards for a high hazard dam. The modification will consist of raising the top of dam 2.8 feet, replacing the 24 inch principal spillway pipe with a 42 inch principal spillway pipe, and lowering the sediment pool by 3.6 feet. The detention pool area would increase slightly due to the decreased size of the sediment pool. All disturbed areas will be planted with plants that have wildlife values. The proposed work will not affect any prime farmland, endangered or threatened species, wetlands, or cultural resources. Federal assistance will be provided under authority of the Small Watershed Rehabilitation Amendments of 2000 (Section 313, Pub. L. 106–472). Total project cost is estimated to be $1,026,400, of which $745,800 will be paid from the Small Watershed Rehabilitation funds and $280,600 from local funds. The notice of a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has been forwarded to the Environmental Protection Agency and to various VerDate jul<14>2003 16:28 Feb 22, 2005 Jkt 205001 Federal, State, and local agencies and interested parties. A limited number of copies of the FONSI are available to fill single copy requests at the above address. Basic data developed during the environmental assessment are on file and may be reviewed by contacting Larry D. Butler, Ph.D, State Conservationist. No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal Register. Larry D. Butler, State Conservationist.

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. Title: 2005 Census Survey of Maricopa County, Arizona. Form Number(s): CSMA–1, CSMA– 1(PV), CSMA–1 L1, CSMA–1 L2, CSMA–1 L3, CSMA–2, CSMA–1(RI), SC–116, and SC–351(GQ). Agency Approval Number: None. Type of Request: New collection. Burden: 12,042 hours. Number of Respondents: 118,607. Avg. Hours Per Response: Housing Units—6 min.; Group Quarters—10 min.; Reinterview—8 min. Needs and Uses: In lieu of a Special Census, the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG), at the request of their member jurisdictions (24 cities and towns within Maricopa County), requested the U.S. Census Bureau to conduct a data collection effort for the purpose of updating population and housing unit information from the Census 2000. This data collection effort is called the 2005 Census Survey of Maricopa County, Arizona (CSMA). The CSMA will produce September 1, 2005 estimates for housing units, occupied housing units, resident population; resident population living in housing units; and resident population not living in housing units (group quarters and outdoor locations) for Maricopa County, 24 cities in the county, the balance of the county, 5 sub-areas for Phoenix, and 2 sub-areas for Mesa. The resident population estimates will be used to distribute state-shared revenues. PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The MAG requested that we produce the estimates by a survey of housing units and a 100 percent enumeration of the non-housing unit population. The Census Bureau will conduct a survey of housing units to produce the estimates for resident population in housing units, the number of housing units, and the number of occupied housing units. We will contact each identified group quarters and visit outdoor locations to obtain the resident population not living in housing units. We will sum the two resident populations to produce the total number of residents. We will mail each sample housing unit a questionnaire to determine whether it was occupied on September 1, 2005. If it was occupied, we will ask for the total number of people living in the housing unit and for each person’s name, age, and sex. We will follow-up with each housing unit that does not return its questionnaire and conduct either a computer assisted telephone interview or a personal visit interview. We will use a vendor’s data base to obtain phone numbers by matching on the address. We will have a reinterview program for the cases completed by personal visit. The reinterview program will contact approximately ten percent of the personal visit cases to check the enumerators’ work. Reinterview is necessary to deter the falsification of data by enumerators in the field. Its primary purpose is to identify enumerators who intentionally falsify data, and to promptly remove them. Reinterview is also used for quality assurance purposes to ensure that enumerators are following procedures correctly, and to retrain those who are not.

Results from the survey will be used to make improvements to the agency’s business processes, in order to provide better and more effective export assistance to U.S. companies.

Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census Bureau sponsors the SQ–CLASS, ‘‘Business and Professional Classification Report,’’ to collect information needed to keep the retail, wholesale, and services samples current with the business universe. Because of rapid changes in the marketplace caused by the emergence of new businesses, the death of others, and changes in company organization, the Census Bureau canvasses a sample of new Employer Identification Numbers (EINs) obtained from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Social Security Administration (SSA). Each firm selected in this sample is canvassed once for data on the establishment(s) associated with the new EIN. A different sample of EINs is canvassed four times a year. We are revising the layout and wording of Item 9 of the SQ–CLASS form and the corresponding section of the instruction sheet to improve the assignment of kind-of-business codes based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). We do PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 8765 not expect these changes to increase burden. The completed SQ–CLASS form provides sales, receipts, or revenue; company organization; new or refined NAICS codes; and other key information needed for sampling to maintain proper coverage of the universe. Based on the collected information, EINs meeting the criteria for inclusion in the Census Bureau’s retail, wholesale, or service surveys are subjected to second sampling. The retail and wholesale EINs selected in this second sampling are placed on a panel to report in our monthly surveys. Additional panels of selected units are included in the annual surveys. The selected service EINs report on an annual basis. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; Not-for-profit institutions. Frequency: Respondents are contacted only once.

population.
    The Census Bureau will conduct a survey of housing units to produce
