SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
revised notice updates the original NOI,
which appeared Wednesday January 11,
2006, in the Federal Register (71 FR
pages 1731–1732). There will be no
additional scoping on this revised NOI.
The next opportunity to comment will
be on the DEIS (see discussion below).
Comments on the DEIS will be
requested during the 45 day comment
period following the Notice of
Availability (NOA), anticipated to be
published in the Federal Register in
March 2007. The publication date of the
NOA in the Federal Register is the
exclusive means for calculating the
comment period for a proposed action
documented in a DEIS. Those wishing
to comment should not rely on dates or
timeframe information provided by any
other source.
Reviewers should provide the Forest
Service with their comments during the
review period of the DEIS. This will
enable the Forest Service to analyze and
respond to the comments at one time
and to use information acquired in the
preparation of the FEIS, thus avoiding
undue delay in the decisionmaking
process. Reviewers have an obligation to
structure their participation in the
National Environmental Policy Act
process so that it is meaningful and
alerts the agency to the reviewers’
position and contentions. Vermont

CHEMICAL SAFETY AND HAZARD
INVESTIGATION BOARD
Sunshine Act Meeting
In connection with its investigation
into the cause of an explosion and fire
which occurred at BP’s Texas City
refinery on March 23, 2005, the United
States Chemical Safety and Hazard
Investigation Board (CSB) announces
that it will convene a public meeting on
March 20, 2007 starting at 6 p.m. at The
Nessler Center, Wings of Heritage Room,
2010 5th Avenue North, Texas City,
Texas 77590. At the meeting, CSB staff
will present to the Board the results of
their investigation into this incident.
There will be a public comment period
after the investigators’ presentation.
At approximately 1:20 p.m. on
Wednesday, March 23rd, a series of
explosions occurred at the BP Texas
City refinery during the restarting of an
isomerization unit processing
flammable hydrocarbons. Fifteen
workers were killed and about 180
others were injured. Many of the victims
were in or around work trailers located
near a blowdown drum and stack that
were open to the atmosphere. The
explosions occurred when a distillation
tower flooded with hydrocarbons and
was over pressurized, resulting in a
release of flammable hydrocarbons from
the blowdown stack and a subsequent
vapor cloud explosion. After the staff
presentation, the Board will allow time
for public comment. Following the
conclusion of the public comment
period, the Board will consider whether
the preliminary facts presented
necessitate any recommendations prior
to the final completion of the Board’s
investigative report.
At the meeting, CSB staff will present
the Board with the results of their
investigation into this incident,
including a discussion of key findings,
root and contributing causes, and
PO 00000

proposed recommendations. The CSB
staff presentation will focus on four key
safety issues: safety culture, regulatory
oversight, process safety metrics, and
human factors.
After the staff presentation, the Board
will ask for public comments. Following
the conclusion of the public comment
period, the Board will consider whether
to approve the final report and
recommendations. All staff
presentations are preliminary and are
solely intended to allow the Board to
consider in a public forum the issues
and factors involved in this case. No
factual analyses, conclusions or findings
of the staff should be considered final.
Only after the Board has considered the
staff presentation and approved the staff
report will there be an approved final
record of this incident investigation.
The meeting will be open to the
public, and there is no fee or preregistration required. Please notify CSB
if a translator or interpreter is needed,
at least 5 business days prior to the
public meeting. For more information,
please contact the Chemical Safety and
Hazard Investigation Board at (202)

Comment Request
DOC will submit to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
clearance the following proposal for
collection of information under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

Title: Construction Progress Reporting
Surveys.

Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Burden: 50,700 hours.
Number of Respondents: 19,500.

700 (R), Multi-Family Residential
Projects; and C–700 (SL), State and
Local Governments Projects. These
forms are used to conduct the
Construction Progress Reporting
Surveys (CPRS) to collect information
on the dollar value of construction put
in place on building projects under
construction by private companies or
individuals, private multi-family
residential buildings, and on building
projects under construction by state and
local governments. The Census Bureau
uses the information collected on these
forms to publish estimates of the
monthly value of construction put in
place: (1) For nonresidential projects
owned by private companies or
individuals; (2) for projects owned by
state and local agencies; and (3) for
multi-family residential building
projects owned by private companies or
individuals. Statistics from CPRS
become part of the monthly ‘‘Value of
Construction Put in Place’’ series that is
used extensively by the Federal
Government in making policy decisions
and become part of the gross domestic
product (GDP). The private sector uses
the statistics for market analysis and
other research. Construction now
accounts for more than eight percent of
GDP.
The C–700 is used to collect data on
industrial and manufacturing plants,
office buildings, retail buildings, service
establishments, religious buildings,
schools, universities, hospitals, clinics,
and miscellaneous buildings. The C–700
(SL) is used to collect data on public
schools, courthouses, prisons, hospitals,
civic centers, highways, bridges, sewer
systems, and water systems. The C–700
(R) is used to collect data on residential
buildings and apartment projects with
two or more housing units. Published
statistics are used by all levels of
government to evaluate economic
policy, to measure progress toward
national goals, to make policy decisions,
and to formulate legislation. For
example, Bureau of Economic Analysis
(BEA) staff use data to develop the
construction components of gross
private domestic investment in the gross
domestic product. The Federal Reserve
Board and the Department of the
Treasury use the value in place data to
predict the gross domestic product,
which is presented to the Board of
Governors and has an impact on
monetary policy. Private businesses and
trade organizations use the data for
estimating the demand for building
materials and to schedule production,
distribution and sales efforts.
Frequency: Monthly.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
