The ROD was signed and made available via the USDA NRCS Idaho Web site (https:// www.id.nrcs.usda.gov.) on November 7, 2006. A Notice of Availability of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) dated April 26, 2004, was published in the Federal Register on May 4, 2004. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard Sims, State Conservationist, Natural Resources Conservation Service, 9173 W. Barnes Dr. Suite C, Boise, Idaho, 83709; telephone (208) 378–5700. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Little Wood River Irrigation District proposes to convert the present open irrigation canal delivery system that serves farmland in the Little Wood River valley surrounding Carey City, Blaine County, Idaho, to a closed gravity pressurized irrigation pipeline system. The Natural Resources Conservation Service prepared an Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed project. NRCS has selected Alternative 2— Gravity Pressurized Irrigation Delivery System with On-Farm Irrigation Systems as the Preferred Alternative for implementation. This Alternative includes conversion of the present open irrigation canal delivery system to a closed gravity pressurized irrigation pipeline system. The purpose and need of this action is to maximize the conservation and use of irrigation water and the energy required to irrigate all of the existing cropland within the project area by providing a reliable water supply, reducing water losses due to seepage in the existing canal delivery system and providing economic stability to the local area. Three alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, were fully developed and analyzed in the FEIS to address significant issues. The full range of foreseeable environmental consequences was assessed. Among the alternatives considered the preferred alternative best provides a combination of limiting impacts and providing needed enhancements. VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:31 Nov 16, 2006 Jkt 211001 The record of decision includes a statement of the decision made, synopses of other alternatives considered, the basis for the decision, the identification of the environmentally preferred alternative, and the rationale for why the environmentally preferred alternative was not the selected action. The ROD and other NEPA documents are available on the Idaho NRCS Web site at https://www.id.nrcs.usda.gov or by contacting the NRCS at the address provided above. Dated: November 7, 2006.

Additional information regarding Federal antidiscrimination, whistleblower protection and retaliation laws can be found at the EEOC Web site at https://www.eeoc.gov and the OSC Web site at https://www.osc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 15, 2002, Congress enacted the Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation Act of 2002, which is known as the No FEAR Act. One purpose of the Act is to ‘‘require Federal agencies be accountable for violations of antidiscrimination and whistleblower protection laws’’. Public Law 107–174, Summary.

The No FEAR Act requires the President, or his designee, to promulgate regulations implementing the Act. The President delegated these responsibilities to the Office of Personnel Management, who issued a final rule on notification and training (71 FR 41095, July 20, 2006). Pursuant to the Office of Personnel Management’s regulations, the Department of Commerce provides this No Fear Act Notice to current employees, former employees and applicants for Commerce employment to inform you of the rights and protections available to you under Federal antidiscrimination, whistleblower protection and retaliation laws. For purposes of the Act, an applicant for Federal employment means an individual applying for employment in or under a Federal agency; a Federal employee means an individual employed in or under a Federal agency; and a former Federal employee means an individual formerly employed in or under a Federal agency. Antidiscrimination Laws A Federal agency cannot discriminate against an employee or applicant with respect to the terms, conditions or privileges of employment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, E:\FR\FM\17NON1.SGM 17NON1
