I. Abstract
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) regulations at 5 CFR 1320, which

that interested members of the public
and affected agencies have an
opportunity to comment on information
collection and recordkeeping activities
(see 5 CFR 1320.8 (d)). This notice
identifies an existing information
collection activity that the Office of the
Special Trustee for American Indians
has submitted to OMB for extension.
Public Law 103–412, The American
Indian Trust Fund Management Reform
Act of 1994, makes provision for the
Office of the Special Trustee for
American Indians, within the Office of
the Secretary, to administer trust funds
on behalf of individual Indians and of
Indian tribes. This information
collection, which covers one form and
four different non-form occasions on
which the government is required by
law to collect information from account
holders and third parties with a legal
interest in particular individual
accounts, e.g., guardians of account
holders who are minors, allows the
Office of the Special Trustee to collect
the information needed to establish and
maintain trust accounts for individual
Indians and Indian tribes. If this
information were not collected, the
Office of the Special Trustee would not
be able to comply with The American
Indian Trust Fund Management Reform
Act of 1994, and the Office of the

(b) The accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
and the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(d) Ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Burden means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons
to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
Office of Management and Budget
control number.

Jkt 211001
SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102 (2)(C)
of the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969, the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM), Ely, Elko, and Las
Vegas Field Offices, will be directing the
preparation of an EIS and conducting
public scoping meetings for a proposed
Ely Energy Center (EEC), rail line, 345
kV and 500 kV transmission lines with
fiber optic capacity, substations, water
delivery, and associated facilities.
Comment Dates: The comment period
for scoping the EIS will commence with
the publication of this notice. Those
having concerns, issues, or alternatives
they would like to see addressed in the
EIS should respond with written
comments by February 26, 2007. This
scoping notice will be distributed by
mail on or about the date of this notice.
All comments received at the public
scoping meetings or through written
comments submitted will aid the BLM
in identifying alternatives and
mitigating measures and will help
assure all issues are analyzed in the EIS.
ADDRESSES: Comments and issues
related to the proposed EIS should be
mailed to Ann Perkins, Bureau of Land
Management, Ely Field Office, HC 33
Box 33500, Ely, Nevada 89301.
Information and a copy of this NOI can
be obtained by writing to the Bureau of
Land Management, Ely Field Office, HC
33 Box 33500, Ely, Nevada 89301,
visiting the Ely Field Office at 702 North
Industrial Way, Ely, NV 89301, or by
contacting or visiting either the Las
Vegas Office at 4701 North Torrey Pines
Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89130 or the Elko
office at 3900 Idaho Street, Elko, NV
89801.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ann
Perkins at (775) 289–1850, e-mail
Ann_Perkins@nv.blm.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EIS
will assess the potential impacts of
initially granting rights-of-way (ROW)
and subsequent conveyance for a
proposed power-generating facility and
granting a ROW for proposed rail lines,
transmission lines with fiber optic
cable, substations, water well-fields and
pipeline delivery systems, and
associated facilities in White Pine
County, Lincoln, Nye, Elko, and Clark
counties, Nevada.
The proposed project includes the
EEC and additions to the Nevada Power
and Sierra Pacific transmission systems.
The EEC would consist of two 750
megawatt (MW) coal-fired generating
units in Phase I; a future Phase II
includes two 500 MW integrated
gasification combined-cycle generating
units (or another efficient technology
option) and other related facilities, e.g.,
a rail loop, coal unloading, handling,

and storage facilities, a solid waste
disposal facility, water storage and
treatment facilities, evaporation pond,
cooling towers, electric switchyards and
substations, and support buildings.
Water requirements include well fields
and pumping facilities, water
pipeline(s) and related facilities in
Steptoe, Butte, and Jakes Valleys, rail
spurs, and access roads. The well fields
would require power and relay
communication connections.
The EIS will address whether to use
the Nevada Northern Rail for coal
delivery or, as an alternative, whether to
build a new rail approximately 100
miles from Steptoe Valley to Shafter,
Nevada.
The electric transmission facilities
would include up to two high voltage
(500 kV) transmission lines
interconnecting the electric
transmission systems of Sierra Pacific
and Nevada Power (between the
proposed EEC and the existing Harry
Allen substation in Clark County [Apex
Valley] northeast of Las Vegas, Nevada).
Each transmission alternative
accommodates an interconnection of the
500-kV system to the existing 345-kV
transmission system along the existing
Falcon-Gonder corridor. The proposed
project will include a new substation
located adjacent to the plant, a new
substation constructed at Robinson
Summit, and expansion of the existing
Harry Allen substation in Clark County.
The proposed EEC would be located
in the eastern part of Nevada in White
Pine County. Two potential power plant
sites, South Steptoe Valley (SSV) and
the North Steptoe Valley (NSV), have
been identified for this project. Both
proposed power plant sites would be
accessible via an access road from
Highway 93. The water wells, water
pipeline, and related facilities would be
located in mostly flat terrain within
Steptoe, Butte, and Jakes Valleys. The
rail spurs would be located on mostly
flat terrain between the power plant site
and either the existing Nevada Northern
Railway rail line in Steptoe Valley or
the alternate 100 mile rail line
interconnecting the Union Pacific rail at
Shafter. The electric transmission line
ROWs would extend from the proposed
new generation site in Steptoe Valley to
intersect the existing Falcon-Gonder
line. The 500 kV power lines may
interconnect at a proposed new
substation east of Robinson summit
(described further below). The proposed
line will intersect the previously
federally-designated Southwest Intertie
Project utility corridor, and will extend
to the Harry Allen Substation in
northeast Las Vegas, Clark County,
Nevada.
