(FONSI) and the determination was
made that no environmental impact
statement is required to support the
Manila-Washam Plan. Pursuant to
section 102(2)(c) of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969; the
Council on Environmental Quality
Regulations (40 CFR part 1500); and the
Natural Resources Conservation Service
Regulations (7 CFR part 650); the
Natural Resources Conservation Service,
U.S. Department of Agriculture, gives
notice that an environmental impact
statement is not being prepared for the
Manila-Washam Salinity Control
Project, Daggett County, Utah; and
Sweetwater County, Wyoming. Written
comments regarding this action may be
submitted to: Sylvia Gillen, State
Conservationist, USDA/NRCS, Wallace
F. Bennett Federal Building, 125 South
State Street, Room 4402, Salt Lake City,
UT 84138–1100. Comments must be
received no later than 30 days after this

Lake City, UT 84138–1100; telephone

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
environmental assessment of this
federally-assisted action documents that
the project will not cause significant
local, regional, State, or national
impacts on the human environment.
The findings of Sylvia Gillen, State
Conservationist, indicate that the
preparation and review of an
environmental impact statement is not
needed for this project.
The project purpose is to reduce salt
loading to the Green River, a tributary
to the Colorado River. Excessive loading
is a result of seepage from the canal and
delivery ditch systems and inefficient
irrigation application methods and
procedures. The planned works of
improvement include replacement of
delivery ditches with an on-farm
underground pipeline delivery system;
the installation of irrigation sprinkler
systems; structures for water control;
and wildlife habitat development. These
enduring practices are accompanied by
facilitating management practices such
as; Irrigation Water Management,
Wildlife Habitat Management Wetland,
and Wildlife Habitat Management
Upland.
This 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. Copies of the FONSI
and Plan/Environmental Assessment are
available by request from Sylvia Gillen,
Utah State Conservationist. Basic data
developed during the environmental
evaluation are on file and may be
reviewed by contacting Sylvia Gillen,
Utah State Conservationist. Copies of
the Plan/Environmental Assessment and
FONSI may be obtained from Ms. Karyl

No administrative action on
implementation of this project will be
taken until 30 days after the date of this
notice is published.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
meeting is being convened to address
the condition of the pink shrimp stock
and over-wintering of white shrimp.
Amendment 6 to the Fishery
Management Plan for the Shrimp
Fishery of the South Atlantic Region
established a proxy for a minimum
stock size threshold as a parent stock
size capable of producing maximum
sustainable yield (BMSY) the following
year. The annual estimates of this BMSY
proxy have been below the threshold
value for more than two consecutive
years. This situation may require future
action by the Council, based on the
findings and recommendations of its
Shrimp Review Panel.
If necessary, the Panel may also make
a recommendation on closing the
Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) to
protect over-wintering white shrimp if a
closure is requested by the states. The
Panel will prepare a report regarding its
recommendations and forward it to the
Council’s Scientific and Statistical
Committee and the Shrimp Committee
to determine if further action is needed.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come
before this group for discussion, those
issues may not be the subject of formal
action during this meeting. Action will
be restricted to those issues specifically
identified in this notice and any issues
arising after publication of this notice

Management Services, Office of
Management, publishes that notice
containing proposed information
collection requests prior to submission
of these requests to OMB. Each
proposed information collection,

following: (1) Type of review requested,
e.g. new, revision, extension, existing or
reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of
the collection; (4) Description of the
need for, and proposed use of, the

Education to carry out the Academic
Competitiveness Grant (ACG) Program
to implement provisions of the Higher
Education Act of 1965 (HEA), as
amended by the Higher Education
Reconciliation Act of 2005 (HERA). The

whether the Secretary may recognize as
rigorous, secondary school programs of
study proposed by an individual State
Educational Agency (SEA) or, if legally
authorized by the State to establish a
separate secondary school program of
study, a Local Educational Agency
(LEA). Participation in a rigorous
secondary school program of study may
qualify a postsecondary student to
receive an ACG, if otherwise eligible.
