SUMMARY: The Department of Energy
(DOE) has submitted the proposed
collection of information described in
this notice to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for review and
approval in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub.
L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). The
proposed collection of information is in
a final rule pertaining to test procedures
for distribution transformers, which
DOE published at 71 FR 24971 (April
27, 2006). DOE received no comments
in response to an earlier notice inviting
public comment on this proposed
collection (71 FR 24844, April 27, 2006).
DATES: Comments regarding this
collection must be received on or before
November 13, 2006. If you anticipate
that you will be submitting comments,
but find it difficult to do so within the
period of time allowed by this notice,
please advise the OMB Desk Officer of
your intention to make a submission as
soon as possible. The Desk Officer may
be telephoned at 202–395–4650.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to
the Office of Management and Budget,
Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Attention: OMB Desk Officer for
DOE, Room 10202, New Executive
Office Building, 725 17th Street, NW.,

comments should also be sent to:
Antonio Bouza, U.S. Department of
Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy, EE–2J, 1000

DC 20585.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information or
copies of the information collection
instrument and instructions should be
directed to Antonio Bouza at the
address listed above in ADDRESSES.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
following proposed collection of
information has been sent to OMB for
clearance:
(1) OMB No.: Pending Approval. (2)
Package Title: Test Procedures for
Distribution Transformers. (3) Type of
Review: New collection. (4) Purpose:
This information collection is necessary
for assessing the efficiency of DOE
distribution transformers. (5)
Respondents: 57. (6) Type of
Respondents: Manufacturers of lowvoltage dry-type distribution
transformers. (7) Frequency of Response:
Recordkeeping: Maintenance of (1) data
and (2) calibration procedures and
actions. (8) Estimated Number of

27, 2006, DOE published a final rule
that established test procedures for
measuring the energy efficiency of
distribution transformers (71 FR 24971).
When energy conservation standards go
into effect for low-voltage dry-type
distribution transformers on January 1,
2007, the rule will become applicable to
manufacturers of these transformers.
The rule would require the
manufacturers to meet the following
recordkeeping requirements: (1) Have
records as to alternative efficiency
determination methods available for
DOE inspection; (2) maintain calibration
records; and (3) document calibration
procedures. A Paperwork Reduction Act
Submission has been submitted to OMB
for clearance, and DOE invites the
public to submit comments to OMB on
these requirements. OMB is particularly
interested in receiving public comments
which evaluate: (1) Whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary, (2) the accuracy of DOE’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
information collection, (3) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected, and
(4) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
choose to respond.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Amended Notice of Intent To Expand
the Scope of the Environmental Impact
Statement for the Alignment,
Construction, and Operation of a Rail
Line to a Geologic Repository at Yucca
Mountain, Nye County, NV
Department of Energy.
Amended notice of intent.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Department of Energy
(DOE or the Department) is providing
this Amended Notice of Intent to
expand the scope of the ongoing
Environmental Impact Statement for the
Alignment, Construction and Operation
of a Rail Line to a Geologic Repository
at Yucca Mountain, Nye County,
Nevada (DOE/EIS–0369, Rail Alignment
EIS, Notice of Intent, April 8, 2004, 69
FR 18565). In the ongoing Rail
Alignment EIS, DOE has undertaken an
analysis of alternative rail alignments in
which to construct and operate a rail
line within what is referred to as the
Caliente corridor. Based on new
information, DOE now plans to expand
the Rail Alignment EIS to incorporate
analysis of a new rail corridor
alternative. This additional analysis will
supplement the corridor analyses in the
‘‘Final Environmental Impact Statement
for a Geologic Repository for the
Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and
High-Level Radioactive Waste at Yucca
Mountain, Nye County, Nevada’’ (DOE/
EIS–0250F, Yucca Mountain Final EIS,
February 2002). The expanded analysis
will consider the potential
environmental impacts of a newly
proposed Mina rail corridor at the same
level of corridor analysis as is contained
in the Yucca Mountain Final EIS, and
will review the rail corridor analyses of
that Final EIS, and update, as
appropriate. The expanded scope will
then proceed to include a detailed
analysis of alternative alignments
within the Mina corridor at the same
level of analysis of the ongoing
alignment analysis for the Caliente
corridor. The result will be to provide
the public with information concerning
both the potential corridor and
alignment impacts of the Mina corridor
at the same time DOE presents the
potential impacts for the construction
and operation of a rail line within the
Caliente corridor. The expanded EIS
will be entitled the Supplemental Yucca
Mountain Rail Corridor and Rail
Alignment EIS (DOE/EIS–0250F–S2 and
DOE/EIS–0369).
On April 8, 2004 (69 FR 18557), the
Department issued a Record of Decision
announcing its selection, both
nationally and in the State of Nevada, of
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the mostly rail scenario analyzed in the
Yucca Mountain Final EIS. This
decision will ultimately require the
construction of a rail line to connect the
repository site at Yucca Mountain to an
existing rail line in the State of Nevada
for the shipment of spent nuclear fuel
and high-level radioactive waste. To
that end, the Department also selected
the Caliente rail corridor in which to
examine possible alignments for
construction of that rail line. On April
8, 2004 (69 FR 18565), DOE issued a
Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS under
the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) for the alignment, construction,
and operation of a rail line for
shipments of spent nuclear fuel, highlevel radioactive waste, and other
materials from a site near Caliente,
Nevada, to a geologic repository at
Yucca Mountain, Nevada (the Rail
Alignment EIS).
During subsequent public scoping,
DOE received comments that offered
preferences for various rail corridors
analyzed in detail in the Yucca
Mountain Final EIS, and identified
other rail corridors for consideration. In
particular, commenters recommended
that DOE consider the Mina route,
which would include use of an existing
rail line from Hazen, Nevada, to the
Thorne siding in Hawthorne, Nevada,
and the construction of new rail line
that would follow an abandoned rail
line nearly to Yucca Mountain.
In the Yucca Mountain Final EIS,
DOE considered, but eliminated from
detailed study, several potential rail
routes. One of those potential rail
routes, the Mina route, could only
connect to an existing rail line by
crossing the Walker River Paiute Tribe
Reservation northwest of Hawthorne,
Nevada, and the Tribe had informed
DOE that it would refuse to allow
nuclear waste to be transported across
its reservation (letter dated December 6,
1991). For this reason, the Department
considered the Mina route to pose an
unavoidable land use conflict and thus
to be unavailable for further
consideration.
Following review of the scoping
comments for the Rail Alignment EIS,
DOE held discussions with the Walker
River Paiute Tribe regarding the
availability of the Mina route.
Subsequently, in May 2006, the Walker
River Paiute Tribe informed DOE that
the Tribal Council had withdrawn its
objection to the completion of an EIS
studying the transportation of nuclear
waste across its reservation. The Tribe
stated that its Tribal Council had not
decided to allow such shipments, but
indicated that inclusion of the Mina
route in an EIS would allow the Tribe
