approximately 4,900 feet of pipeline,
flood and slope/grading-related channel
modifications from Center Street to west
of I–15, and the continuation of periodic
dredging as necessary. Two
sedimentation basins would be
constructed to remove gravels from
diverted irrigation water. Additionally,
the Woodbury diversion/drop structure
would be reconstructed to allow for the
safe passage of floodwaters. Under this
alternative, the parkway would be
extended to Airport Road and
landscaped. In addition, a historic
pedestrian truss bridge would be
removed to prevent channel constriction
and potential flooding. Parkway Option
C1 would construct an elevated
pedestrian pathway under the Main
Street Bridge. Parkway Option C2 would
construct a large box culvert for
pedestrian use just north of the bridge
and under Main Street.
In response to public comment on the
Draft EIS and to alleviate localized
flooding tied to Coal Creek discharge
levels, an additional option (the North
Field Canal Option) was analyzed in the
Final EIS. Under Alternative C, this
option would construct a subgrade
pipeline for several hundred feet along
the southern portion of the North West
Field Canal. It would traverse
undeveloped city-owned property west
of the Cedar City Cemetery, and follow
the North Field Canal corridor from a
point just south of 900 North Street to
1045 North Street. Water would be
piped east and west along 1045 North
Street to both the Union Field and
Northwest Field Canals.
As required by the NRCS for water
projects, the National Economic
Development (NED) benefit-cost process
was used to determine benefit-cost
ratios for each alternative. All of the
action Alternative/Option combinations
have a benefit-cost ratio of 1.9:1 and are
all considered viable NED Alternatives.
The sole exception to this is Alternative
C when coupled with Parkway Option
C2 and the North Field Canal Option,
which has a benefit-cost ratio of 1.8:1.
This indicates that the costs and
benefits of all of the alternatives are
relatively consistent.
Under CEQ regulations and the NRCS
National Environmental Compliance
Handbook, Section 610.38—Distribution
and Publication of Environmental
Documents, a Record of Decision (ROD)
cannot be prepared until the Final EIS
has been available to the public for at
least 30 days. Comments will be
accepted on the FEIS during this period.
Following this review period, notice of
the ROD’s availability will be published
in the Federal Register.
Effective Date: September 1, 2006.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
DOC 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: 2007 Economic Census—
Commodity Flow Survey.
Form Number(s): CFS–1000, CFS–
2000.
Agency Approval Number: None.
Type of Request: New collection.
Burden: 800,000 hours.
Number of Respondents: 100,000.
Avg Hours Per Response: 2 hours.
Needs and Uses: The 2007
Commodity Flow Survey, a component
of the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2007
Economic Census, will produce key
information about the transportation of
freight in the United States. The
Commodity Flow Survey is a
cooperative effort between the Census
Bureau and the Research and Innovative
Technology Administration’s Bureau of
Transportation Statistics, U.S.
Department of Transportation. In
addition to their funding support, the
Bureau of Transportation Statistics also
provides additional technical and
planning guidance in the development
and conduct of the program.
The Commodity Flow Survey is the
only source of nationwide data on the
movement of goods from origin to
destination by all modes of
transportation and for multi-modal

combinations. This survey provides a
crucial set of statistics on the value,
weight, mode, and distance of
commodities shipped by establishments
in mining, manufacturing, wholesale,
and other selected industries. The
Census Bureau will publish these
statistics at the national, Census Region,
Census Division, state, and Metropolitan
Area levels. We will also publish
separate special reports on export
shipments and on shipments of
hazardous materials.
The Department of Transportation
consistently views updated information
on freight flows as critical to
understanding markets, consequences,
and investment needs. They also are
important to effective analyses of
economic development, social issues,
and the environment; and for a variety
of private sector decisions.
Federal, State, and local government
agencies spend more than $100 billion
annually on transportation programs.
The Commodity Flow Survey provides
data that are critical to these agencies in
making a wide range of transportation
investment decisions for developing and
maintaining an efficient transportation
infrastructure that supports economic
growth and competitiveness. Numerous
other Federal, state, and local agencies
require the Commodity Flow Survey
data on transportation flows, as they
impact the domestic economy in many
ways.
Transportation planners require the
periodic benchmarks provided by a
continuing Commodity Flow Survey to
evaluate and respond to ongoing
geographic shifts in production and
distribution centers, as well as policies
such as ‘‘just in time delivery’’ and
third-party logistics providers (also
known as 3PLs).
The 2007 Commodity Flow Survey
will be a mail-out/mail-back sample
survey of business establishments in
mining, manufacturing, wholesale, and
other selected industries.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
Frequency: Respondents will be asked
to report quarterly for one year. The
collection is conducted once every 5
years.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C. 131,
193, and 224.

organizations. The public
administration sector is out of scope to
the economic census. The U.S. Census
Bureau conducts the quinquennial
census of governments and other
current programs that measure the
activities of government establishments.
The economic census will produce
basic statistics by kind of business for
number of establishments, receipts/
revenue, payroll, and employment. It
will also yield a variety of subject
statistics, including receipts or revenue
by product line, receipts by class of
customer, and other industry-specific
measures, such as exported services or
personnel by occupation. Basic statistics
will be summarized for the United
States, states, metropolitan areas,
counties and places. Tabulations of
subject statistics also will present data
for the United States and, in some cases,
for states.
The economic census is the primary
source of facts about the structure and
functioning of the Nation’s economy
and features unique industry and
geographic detail. Economic census
statistics serve as part of the framework
for the national accounts and provide
essential information for government,
business, and the general public. The
Federal Government uses information
from the economic census as an
important part of the framework for the
national income and product accounts,
input-output tables, economic indexes,
and other composite measures that serve
as the factual basis for economic policymaking, planning, and program
administration. Further, the census
provides sampling frames and
benchmarks for current surveys of
business which track short-term
economic trends, serve as economic
indicators, and contribute critical source
data for current estimates of the gross
domestic product. State and local
governments rely on the economic
census as a unique source of
comprehensive economic statistics for
small geographic areas for use in policymaking, planning, and program
administration. Finally, industry,
business, academe, and the general
public use information from the
economic census for evaluating markets,
preparing business plans, making
business decisions, developing
economic models and forecasts,
conducting economic research, and
establishing benchmarks for their own
sample surveys.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; Not-for-profit institutions.
Frequency: Every 5 years.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C. 131
and 224.
