SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

the project will not cause significant
local, regional, or national impacts on

the environment. As a result of these
findings, Kalven L. Trice, State
Conservationist, has determined that the
preparation and review of an
environmental impact statement is not
needed for this project.
The project will rehabilitate
Floodwater Retarding Structure (FWRS)
No. 6 to maintain the present level of
flood control benefits and comply with
the current dam safety and performance
standards.
Rehabilitation of FWRS No. 6 will
require the dam to be modified to meet
current performance and safety
standards for a high hazard dam. The
modification will consist of installing a
new 30-inch principal spillway with an
ungated two stage outlet, widening the
auxiliary spillway from 100 to 159 feet,
and raising the top of dam from
elevation 352.5 to elevation 353.1 to
safely pass the probable maximum
flood. All disturbed areas will be
planted to plants that have wildlife
values. The proposed work will not
affect any prime farmland, endangered
or threatened species, wetlands, or
cultural resources.
Federal assistance will be provided
under authority of the Small Watershed
Rehabilitation Amendments of 2000
(section 313, Public Law 106–472).
Total project cost is estimated to be
$583,000, of which $421,300 will be
paid from the Small Watershed
Rehabilitation funds and $161,700 from
local funds.
The notice of a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) has been
forwarded to the Environmental
Protection Agency and to various
Federal, State, and local agencies and
interested parties. A limited number of
copies of the FONSI are available to fill
single copy requests at the above
address. Basic data developed during
the environmental assessment are on
file and may be reviewed by contacting
Kalven L. Trice, State Conservationist.
No administrative action on
implementation of the proposal will be
taken until 30 days after the date of this

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Census Bureau presently operates
a generic clearance covering activities
involving respondent burden associated
with updating our Master Address File
(MAF) and Topologically Integrated
Geographic Encoding and Referencing
(TIGER) system. (The MAF is the
Census Bureau’s address database and
TIGER is the geographic database.) We
now propose to extend that generic
clearance to cover update activities we
will undertake during the next three
fiscal years. Under the terms of the
generic clearance, we plan to submit a
request for OMB approval that will
describe all planned activities for the
entire period; we will not submit a
clearance package for each updating
activity. We will send a letter to OMB
at least two weeks before the planned
start of each activity that gives more
exact details, examples of forms, and
final estimates of respondent burden.
We also will file a year-end summary
