writing or e-mail, and should be specific
to the proposed action. The comments
should describe as clearly and
completely as possible any points of
dispute, debate or disagreement the
commenter has with the proposal. Once
scoping letters are received, the District
shall identify all potential issues,
eliminate non-significant issues or those
covered by another environmental
analysis, identify significant issues to
analyze in depth, develop additional
alternatives to address those significant
issues, and identify potential
environmental effects of the proposed
action as well as all fully analyzed
alternatives.
Early Notice of Importance of Public
Participation in Subsequent
Environmental Review
A draft environmental impact
statement will be prepared for comment.
The comment period on the draft
environmental impact statement will be
45 days from the date the
Environmental Protection Agency
publishes the notice of availability in
the Federal Register.
The Forest Service believes, at this
early stage, it is important to give
reviewers notice of several court rulings
related to public participation in the
environmental review process. First,
reviewers of draft environmental impact
statements must structure their
participation in the environmental
review of the proposal so that it is
meaningful and alerts an agency to the
reviewer’s position and contentions.
Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp. v.
NRDC, 435 U.S. 519, 553 (1978). Also,
environmental objections that could be
raised at the draft environmental impact
statement stage but that are not raised
until after completion of the final
environmental impact statement may be
waived or dismissed by the courts. City
of Angoon v. Hodel, 803 F.2d 1016,
1022 (9th Cir. 1986) and Wisconsin
Heritages, Inc. v. Harris, 490 F. Supp.
1334, 1338 (E.D. Wis. 1980). Because of
these court rulings, it is very important
that those interested in this proposed
action participate by the close of the 45day comment period so that substantive
comments and objections are made
available to the Forest Service at a time
when it can meaningfully consider them
and respond to them in the final
environmental impact statement.
To assist the Forest Service in
identifying and considering issues and
concerns on the proposed action,
comments on the draft environmental
impact statement should be as specific
as possible. It is also helpful if
comments refer to specific pages or
chapters of the draft statement.

Comments may also address the
adequacy of the draft environmental
impact statement or the merits of the
alternatives formulated and discussed in
the statement. Reviewers may wish to
refer to the Council on Environmental
Quality Regulations for implementing
the procedural provisions of the
National Environmental Policy Act at 40
CFR 1503.3 in addressing these points.
Comments received, including the
names and addresses of those who
comment, will be considered part of the
public record on this proposal and will
be available for public inspection.

Abstract
The Business and Industry (B&I)
program was legislated in 1972 under
section 310B of the Consolidated Farm
and Rural Development Act, as
amended. The purpose of the Business
and Industry Guaranteed Loan Program
is to improve, develop, or finance
business, industry, and employment
and to improve the economic and
environmental climate in rural
communities. This purpose is achieved
by bolstering the existing private credit
structure through the guarantee of
quality loans which will provide lasting
community benefits. The lender is
responsible for servicing the entire loan
and will remain mortgagee and secured
party of record notwithstanding the fact
VerDate Aug<31>2005

that another party may hold a portion of
the loan. The B&I servicing regulations
are designed to provide regulatory
requirements for the lender to
adequately service these loans.

burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average .81 hours per
response.
Respondents: 3,450.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
3,450.

clearance the following proposal for
collection of information under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
Title: 2007 Economic Census
Classification Report for Construction,
Manufacturing, and Mining Sectors.
Form Number(s): NC–99026.
Agency Approval Number: None.
Type of Request: New collection.
Burden: 4,167 hours.
Number of Respondents: 50,000.
Avg Hours per Response: 5 minutes.
Needs and Uses: Accurate and
reliable industry codes are critical to the
U. S. Census Bureau’s economic
statistical programs. In order to provide
detailed industry data for the 2007
Economic Census and the Business
Register, the basic sampling frame for
many of our current surveys,
unclassified and partially classified
businesses must be assigned correct
North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) codes. Only when
correct NAICS codes are assigned to
establishments can the Census Bureau
be assured that data are tabulated in the
correct detailed industry and ultimately
disseminated accurately.
The NC–99026 questionnaire will be
sent to a sample of partially classified
single-unit construction, manufacturing,
and mining establishments in 2006, the
year prior to the census. It is extremely
important to obtain a correct industry
classification for construction
establishments to ensure the sample
frame that is drawn for the economic
census is accurate. For many of the
manufacturing and mining
establishments, this is the only form
that they receive for the economic
census. During the 2007 Economic
Census, the NC–99026 questionnaire
will be used to collect information from
partially classified single-unit
manufacturing and mining
establishments that were not sampled in
2006.
Establishments that are only partially
classified could be misclassified in the
economic census without a complete
NAICS code. This refile operation will
determine a complete and reliable
classification in order to ensure the
establishment is tabulated in the correct
detailed industry for the 2007 Economic
Census. Although the Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) provides industry codes
for establishments that they have
classified in their universe but which
are unclassified in the Business
Register, detailed industry classification
would still be missing for the remaining
units. If these establishments are not
mailed as part of the economic census,
