Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 11 / Thursday, January 18, 2007 / Notices regarding consumer safety issues that need additional research. In addition, based on the information obtained, the staff may be able to provide safety information to the public that is easier to read and is more easily understood by a wider range of consumers. The Consumer Focus Groups also may be used to solicit consumer opinions and feedback regarding the effectiveness of product recall communications and in determining what action is being taken by consumers in response to such communications and why. This may aid in tailoring future recall activities to increase the success of those activities. If this information is not collected, the Commission may not have available certain useful information regarding consumer experiences, opinions, and perceptions related to specific product use, on which the Commission uses, in part, in its ongoing efforts to improve the safety of consumer products on behalf of consumers. B. Estimated Burden The Commission staff currently estimates that there may be up to 48 participants annually in the Consumer Focus Groups. The Commission staff estimates that the burden hours for each participant will not exceed 4 hours total. Thus, the Commission staff estimates that the annual burden could total approximately 192 hours per year. The Commission staff estimates the value of the time of respondents to this collection of information at $26.86 an hour. This is based on the 2006 U.S. Department of Labor Employer Costs for Employee Compensation. At this valuation, the estimated annual cost to the public of this information collection will be about $5,517 per year. C. Request for Comments pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES The Commission solicits written comments from all interested persons about the proposed collection of information. The Commission specifically solicits information relevant to the following topics: —Whether the collection of information described above is necessary for the proper performance of the Commission’s functions, including whether the information would have practical utility; —Whether the estimated burden of the proposed collection of information is accurate; —Whether the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected could be enhanced; and —Whether the burden imposed by the collection of information could be minimized by use of automated, VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:52 Jan 17, 2007 Jkt 211001 electronic or other technological collection techniques, or other forms of information technology.

ACTION: Notice of intent; withdrawal. SUMMARY: The permit applicant, TransAlta Centralia Mining LLC (TCM) has greatly reduced the scope of its proposed coal mining project at Centralia, Washington. Therefore, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is withdrawing its Notice of Intent to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS). Mr. Jonathan Smith at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle Regulatory Branch, 4735 E. Marginal Way South, Seattle, Washington 98134, (206) 764–6910, or e-mail Jonathan.Smith@nws02.usace.army.mil. Mr. Mark Cline, at the Washington Department of Ecology, 300 Desmond Drive, SE., Lacey, Washington 98503, or e-mail mcli461@ecy.wa.gov FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The Corps and Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) published a notice of intent in the April 7, 2006, issue of the Federal Register (71 FR 17840) to prepare an EIS on TCM’s proposed Pit 7 Mining Project. Since that time, TCM’s proposed project has evolved from a coal mining project, affecting over 100 acres of wetlands and streams, to a railroad upgrade project for importing coal from existing, already permitted mines in Montana and Wyoming. This modified proposal appears likely to affect less than three acres of wetlands. Therefore, the Corps and Ecology plan to conduct an environmental assessment of the proposed rail upgrade project during the first half of year 2007. An EIS would be prepared only if results of the environmental assessment indicate potentially significant, adverse environmental impacts. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: E:\FR\FM\18JAN1.SGM 18JAN1
