SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(C)
of the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969; the Council on
Environmental Quality Guidelines (40
CFR part 1500); and the Natural
Resources Conservation Service
Guidelines (7 CFR part 650); the Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS),
U.S. Department of Agriculture, is
giving notice that an environmental
impact statement (EIS) will be prepared
for the Dunloup Creek Watershed of the
New River Watershed, Fayette and
Raleigh Counties, West Virginia. The
EIS will evaluate potential impacts to
the natural, physical and human
environment as a result of the flood
damage reduction measures proposed
for the 100-year floodplain in the
Dunloup Creek Watershed, Fayette and
Raleigh Counties, West Virginia.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Floodwater damage and critical area
erosion in the Dunloup Creek watershed
were the initial impetus for a study in
1965 when local sponsors applied for
Federal assistance under Public Law
566—The Watershed Protection and
Flood Prevention Act. Several years of
study resulted in the preparation of a
Watershed Plan—EIS in 1976. Further
project activities were terminated in
1984 by mutual agreement between the
former Soil Conservation Service (now
NRCS) and the local project sponsors
due to utility and land-rights issues.
In 1996, due to recurring flooding in
the watershed, a new application was
submitted by the local sponsors and
NRCS re-initiated planning assistance.
The planning effort resulted in the
preparation of a Local Implementation
Plan in December 1998. The Plan
provided alternatives for local
implementation without PL–566 costsharing and without full analysis of the
hydraulic, environmental, economic
and cultural concerns associated with
alternatives. No further action was taken
by the local sponsors with regard to
implementing the 1998 Plan.
In August 2001, following flood
events of July 2001, local sponsors
requested additional planning
assistance for the Dunloup Creek
watershed under PL–566. The current
work will document alternatives
evaluated to reduce flooding and related
damages in the Dunloup Creek
watershed, including: Upstream
floodwater retarding impoundments,
channel modifications, diking, land
E:\FR\FM\14SEN1.SGM
14SEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 178 / Thursday, September 14, 2006 / Notices
treatment measures, flood proofing and
a voluntary buyout program. The ‘‘no
project’’ alternative was also considered.
The environmental assessment of this
federally-assisted action suggests the
estimated costs of the various
alternatives will exceed $5 million. As
a result, Ronald L. Hilliard, State
Conservationist, has determined that the
preparation and review of a draft EIS is
needed for this project.
A draft EIS will be prepared and
circulated for review by agencies and
the public. The Natural Resources
Conservation Service invites
participation and consultation of
agencies and individuals that have
special expertise, legal jurisdiction, or
interest in the preparation of the draft
EIS. A scoping meeting (workshop) will
be held on Wednesday September 20,
2006, at the National Guard Armory in
Glen Jean, WV. The workshop will be
held from 4 p.m. through 7 p.m. Those
attending will have the opportunity to
inquire about the project and to provide
input to determine the scope of the
evaluation of the proposed action.
Further information on the proposed
action may be obtained from Ronald L.
Hilliard, State Conservationist, at the
above address or telephone (304) 284–
7545.

Action Affecting Export Privileges; In
the Matter of: Thomas Campbell Butler,
4611 10th Street, Lubbock, TX 79416,
Respondent; Order
The Bureau of Industry and Security,
U.S. Department of Commerce (‘‘BIS’’)
has notified Thomas Campbell Butler
(‘‘Butler’’) of its intention to initiate an
administrative proceeding against Butler
pursuant to Section 766.3 of the Export
Administration Regulations (currently
codified at 15 CFR Parts 730–774
(2006)) (‘‘Regulations’’) 1 and Section
13(c) of the Export Administration Act
of 1979, as amended (50 U.S.C. app.
2401–2420 (2000)) (‘‘Act’’),2 by issuing
a proposed charging letter to Butler that
alleged that Butler committed four
violations of the Regulations.
Specifically, the charges are:
1. One violation of 15 CFR 764.2(a)—
Engaging in Unauthorized Export to
Tanzania: On or around September 9,
2002, Butler engaged in conduct
prohibited by the Regulations when he
exported the human pathogen Yersinia
pestis is subject to the Regulations and
classified under Export Control
Classification Number (ECCN) 1C351.
Section 742.2 or the Regulations
requires a Department of Commerce
license to be obtained for exports of
Yersinia pestis to Tanzania.
2. One violation of 15 CFR 743.2(e)—
Transferring, Forwarding and/or
Disposing of Items with Knowledge that
a Violation Would Occur: On or around
September 9, 2002, Butler transferred,
1 The violations charged occurred in 2002. The
Regulations governing the violations at issue are
found in the 2002 version of the Code of Federal
Regulations (15 CFR. Parts 730–774 (2002)). The
2006 Regulations establish the procedures that
apply to this matter.
2 Since August 21, 2001, the Act has been in lapse
and the President, through Executive Order 13222
of August 17, 2001 (3 CFR, 2001 Comp. 783 (2002)),
which has been extended by successive presidential
notices, the most recent being that of August 3,
2006 (71 FR 44551 (August 7, 2006)), has continued
the Regulations in effect under the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–
1706 (2000)) (‘‘IEEPA’’).

forwarded, and/or disposed of items
subject to the Regulations with
knowledge that a violation of the
Regulations was about to occur in
connection with the items. Specifically,
Butler transferred, forwarded, and/or
disposed of the human pathogen
Yersinia pestis (Plague) to Tanzania, as
described in Charge One, knowing that
the item would be exported without the
required Department of Commerce
license.
3. One violation of 15 CFR 764.2(h)—
Taking an Action with Intent to Evade
the Provisions of the Act or Regulations:
On or around September 9, 2002, Butler
took action with intent to evade the
provisions of the Regulations in
connection with the export described in
Charge One above. Specifically, Butler
described the human pathogen Yersinia
pestis (Plague) as ‘‘Laboratory
Materials’’ on the waybill, undervalued
the shipment, neglected to fill out the
section of the waybill regarding
Shipper’s Export Declaration
requirements, and signed his name
under a statement claiming that the
commodities in question were being
shipped in accordance with the
Regulations. He did this to disguise the
fact that the export required a license.
4. One violation of 15 CFR 764.2(h)—
Taking an Action with Intent to Evade
the Provisions of the Act or Regulations:
On or around September 9, 2002, Butler
took action with intent to evade the
provisions of the Regulations in
connection with the export described in
Charge One above. Specifically, Butler
failed to file a Shipper’s Export
Declaration for the export of the human
pathogen Yersinia pestis (Plague). He
did this to disguise the fact that the
export required a license.
Whereas, BIS and Butler have entered
into a Settlement Agreement pursuant to
Section 766.18(a) of the Regulations
whereby they agreed to settle this matter
in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth therein, and
Whereas, I have approved the terms of
such Settlement Agreement; It is
therefore ordered:
First, that a civil penalty of $37,400 is
assessed against Butler, which shall be
paid to the U.S. Department of
Commerce no later than 30 days from
the date of entry of this Order. Payment
shall be made in the manner specified
in the attached instructions.
Second, that, pursuant to the Debt
Collection Act of 1982, as amended (31
U.S.C. §§ 3701–3702E (2000)), the civil
penalty owed under this Order accrues
interest as more fully described in the
attached Notice, and, if payment is not
made by the due date specified herein,
Butler will be assessed, in addition to
