SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Interstate Movement of Certain
Land Tortoises.
OMB Number: 0579–0156.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: The Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS)
regulates the importation and interstate
movement of certain animals and
animal products to prevent the
introduction into or dissemination
within the United States of pests and
diseases of livestock.
The regulations in 9 CFR part 93
prohibit the importation of the leopard
tortoise, the African spurred tortoise,
and the Bell’s hingeback tortoise to
prevent the introduction and spread of
exotic ticks known to be vectors of
heartwater disease, an acute, infectious
disease of cattle and other ruminants.
The regulations in 9 CFR part 74
prohibit the interstate movement of
those tortoises that are already in the
United States unless the tortoises are
accompanied by a health certificate or
certificate of veterinary inspection. The
certificate must be signed by an APHIS
accredited veterinarian and must state
that the tortoises have been examined
by that veterinarian and found free of
ticks.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of this certificate for an
additional 3 years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
affected agencies) concerning our
information collection. These comments
will help us:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our
estimate of the burden of the
information collection, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
information collection on those who are
to respond, through use, as appropriate,
of automated, electronic, mechanical,
and other collection technologies, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of
responses.
Estimate of burden: The public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average
0.083 hours per response.
Respondents: APHIS accredited
veterinarians, U.S. tortoise breeders, and
members of tortoise adoption
organizations.
Estimated annual number of
respondents : 150.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 20.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 3,000.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 249 hours. (Due to
averaging, the total annual burden hours
may not equal the product of the annual
number of responses multiplied by the
reporting burden per response.)
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
Done in Washington, DC, this 12th day of
March 2007.

Notice of Intent to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The USDA Forest Service (FS)
and the Upper Arkansas Water
Conservacy District (UAWCD) have
agreed to work cooperatively for the
creation of the necessary environmental
analysis and associated documents for
the purpose of potential expansion
construction of the North Fork Reservoir
Water storage facility, reconstruction of
the Boss Lake Reservoir emergency
spillway, and long term operations and
maintenance of all three reservoirs
operated by UAWCD (Boss Lake,
O’Haver, and North Fork). The FS has
determined that all three facilities
should be analyzed under an ‘‘allinclusive’’ Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) which addresses each
facility individually.
The UAWCD has agreed to pay for all
necessary NEPA analysis through a
third party consultant working for the
FS. The FS will oversee the final
approval of:
1. The environmental firm awarded
the contract to conduct the NEPA
analysis.
2. The quality/thoroughness of the
final environmental document.
3. Any future long-term Special Use
Permit (naming UAWCD as the holder)
covering the operational hydrology and
maintenance needs of each individual
water storage facility.
DATES: Comments concerning the scope
of the analysis must be postmarked or
received within 45 days from the date
of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register to ensure full
consideration. The draft environmental
impact statement is expected January
2008 and the final environmental
impact statement is expected April
2008.
