AGENCY: An initial opportunity for the public to comment on the Office of the Secretary’s proposal to extend this information collection was announced in the Federal Register on December 13, 2006. The Office of the Secretary received no comments in response to its 60-day notice and request for comments. The public now has a second opportunity to comment on this proposal.

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 the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, the Department of the Interior, Central Utah Project Completion Act Office will prepare an Environmental Assessment on the conversion of 12,200 acre-feet of Central Utah Project (CUP) water from irrigation to municipal and industrial (M&I) use over a period of up to 25 years. Water was originally to be developed exclusively for irrigation use under the Bonneville Unit of the CUP in Summit and Wasatch counties, Utah. Suburban development in the counties has resulted in agricultural land being taken out of production and developed into residential areas. Under the authority of Bureau of Reclamation Law, PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 20359 specifically Section 9(c)(1) of the Reclamation Project Act of 1939 Act (43 U.S.C. 485h), the Colorado River Storage Project Act of 1956 (43 U.S.C. 620 et seq.), and Section 205 of the Central Utah Project Completion Act (Pub. L. 102–575), the Secretary of the Interior oversees Bonneville Unit project planning and therefore has authority to convert CUP water from irrigation to M&I use. Such conversions were addressed under the terms of the Central Utah Water Conservancy District’s 1965 Repayment Contract, No. 14–06–400– 4286. Dates and locations for public scoping will be announced locally. DATES: The Bonneville Unit of the CUP was authorized to develop central Utah’s water resources. Both the 1987 Final Supplement to the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Municipal and Industrial System, Bonneville Unit, Central Utah Project (FEIS) and the 2004 Supplement to the 1988 Definite Plan Report for the Bonneville Unit (DPR) describe the current allocation of Project water for Summit and Wasatch counties—2,400 acre-feet for M&I use and 15,100 acre-feet for irrigation use. The 1996 Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Wasatch County Water Efficiency Project and Daniel Replacement Project evaluates the conveyance of the water supply described in the 1987 M&I FEIS. Due to residential and commercial development of agricultural lands within the counties, there is a need to convert CUP water from irrigation to M&I use. An Environmental Assessment will be prepared to evaluate the conversion of 12,200 acre-feet of CUP water from irrigation to M&I use over a period of up to 25 years. The Environmental Assessment will evaluate the schedule of conversion and identify potential effects and the significance of those effects. Issues to be analyzed include impacts on wildlife, cultural resources, special status plants and animals, and water resources. Because the proposed conversion changes the use of water described in the DPR, Interior will notify Congress of the proposed conversion before it is implemented. Upon completion of the CUP, a final allocation of Project water and Project costs will be made. Information, Comments, and Inquiries: Additional information on matters related to this notice can also be obtained from: Mr. Wayne G. Pullan, 302 East 1860 South Provo, Utah 84606, (801) 379–1194, wpullan@uc.usbr.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: E:\FR\FM\24APN1.SGM 24APN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regulations at 5 CFR part 
1320, which implement the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-
13), require 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 
Secretary has submitted to OMB for extension.
    Public Law 88-459 authorizes Federal agencies to provide housing 
for Government employees under specified circumstances. In compliance 
with OMB Circular A-45 (Revised), Rental and Construction of Government 
Quarters, a review of private rental market housing rates is required 
at least once every 5 years to ensure that the rental, utility charges, 
and charges for related services to occupants of Government Furnished 
Quarters (GFQ) are comparable to corresponding charges in the private 
sector. To avoid unnecessary duplication and inconsistent rental rates, 
the Office of Acquisition and Property Management (PAM) conducts 
housing surveys in support of quarters management programs for the 
Departments of the Interior (DOI), Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, 
Homeland Security, Justice, Transportation, Treasury, Health and Human 
Services, and Veterans Affairs. In this survey, two collection forms 
are used: OS-2000, covering ``Houses--Apartments--Mobile Homes'' and 
OS-2001, covering ``Trailer Spaces.''
    This collection of information provides data that helps DOI and the 
other Federal agencies to manage GFQ within the requirements of OMB 
Circular A-45 (Revised.) If this information were not collected from 
the public, DOI and the other Federal agencies required to provide GFQ 
would have no objective basis for determining open market rental costs 
for GFQ.
