if located cross country. It is anticipated
that all of the facilities would be in
service in 2011.
Government agencies, private
organizations, and the public are invited
to participate in the planning and
analysis of the proposed project.
Representatives from the Agency and
Georgia Transmission Corporation will
be available at the scoping meeting to
discuss the Agency’s environmental
review process, describe the project, the
need for the project, macro corridors
under consideration, and to discuss the
scope of environmental issues to be
considered, answer questions, and
accept comments. Comments regarding
the proposed action may be submitted
(orally or in writing) at the public
scoping meetings or in writing for
receipt no later than May 18, 2006 to the
Agency at the address provided in this
notice.
From information provided in the
alternative evaluation and site selection
study, input that may be provided by
government agencies, private
organizations, and the public, Georgia
Transmission Corporation will use to
prepare an environmental analysis to be
submitted to the Agency for review. The
Agency will use the environmental
analysis to determine the significance of
the impacts of the project and if
acceptable will adopt it as its
environmental assessment of the
project. The Agency’s environmental
assessment of the project would be
available for review and comment for 30
days.
Should the Agency determine, based
on the Environmental Assessment of the
project, that the impacts of the
construction and operation of the
transmission line would not have a
significant environmental impact, it will
prepare a finding of no significant
impact. Public notification of a finding
of no significant impact would be
published in the Federal Register and in
newspapers with a circulation in the
project area.
Any final action by the Agency
related to the proposed project will be
subject to, and contingent upon,
compliance with environmental review
requirements as prescribed by the
Agency’s environmental policies and
procedures (7 CFR part 1794).

Comment Request
The Department of Commerce has
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for 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: Annual Survey of Local
Government Finances (School Systems).
Form Number(s): F–33, F–33–1, F–
33–L1, F–33–L2, F–33–L3.
Agency Approval Number: 0607–
0700.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Burden: 4,009 hours.
Number of Respondents: 3,269.
Average Hours Per Response: 1 hour
and 13 minutes.
Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau’s
collection of school district finance data
and associated publications is the most
comprehensive sources for prekindergarten through grade 12 finance
data. The data are collected from the
universe of school districts using
uniform definitions and concepts of
revenue, expenditure, debt, and assets.
This effort is part of the Census Bureau’s
Annual Survey of State and Local
Governments. Data collected from cities,
counties, states, and special district
governments are combined with data
collected from local school systems to
produce state and national totals of
government spending. Local school
system spending comprises a significant
portion of total government spending. In
2002, public elementary-secondary
expenditure accounted for over 30% of
total local government outlays.
In addition to the historical
significance in the state and local
government statistics community, this
collection of school system finance data
has taken on added importance within
the area of education statistics. With the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:10 Apr 04, 2006
Jkt 208001
reauthorization of the Elementary
Secondary Education Act (ESEA) by the
No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) in
2001, there is increased demand for
detailed information about our Nation’s
public schools. This focus has led to a
demand for data reflecting student
performance, graduation rates, and
school finance policy. State legislatures,
local leaders, university researchers,
and parents increasingly rely on data to
make substantive decisions about
education. School district finance is a
vital sector of the education data
spectrum used by these stakeholders to
form policy, develop new education
strategies, and even decide where to
locate their families.
We are requesting modifications to
Form F–33. Minor local revenue items
will be added to the Part I.A Local
Revenue section. These items include
revenue from ‘‘Sales of property and
other capital assets,’’ ‘‘Fines and
forfeits,’’ ‘‘Rents,’’ ‘‘Royalties,’’ and
‘‘Private donations.’’ In previous
surveys, respondents were instructed to
report these items under ‘‘Miscellaneous
other local revenue.’’ They will be
included as separate items beginning
with this survey cycle to coincide with
other government surveys conducted by
the Census Bureau. The impact of
reporting these new items is discussed
in Question 5 and Question 12.
The education finance data collected
and processed by the Census Bureau are
an essential component of the
government finances program and
provide unique products for education
data user groups.
Affected Public: State, local or tribal
Government.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13, Section 161,
of the United States Code requires the
Secretary of Commerce to conduct a
census of governments every fifth year.
Section 182 allows the Secretary to
make annual surveys in other years.
These authorizations include, but are
not limited to, collecting and
disseminating ‘‘data on taxes * * *
governmental receipts, expenditures,
indebtedness * * * of states, counties,
cities, and other governmental units.’’
