Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 236 / Monday, December 10, 2007 / Notices

where the action’s direct and indirect
emissions have the potential to emit one
or more of the criteria pollutants or
precursors, in the case of ozone and
PM2.5, at emission rates equal to or
exceeding the prescribed rates at 40 CFR
93.153(b), or where the action
encompasses 10 percent or more of a
NAA or maintenance area’s total
emissions inventory for that pollutant.
In the case of New York County, the
prescribed annual rates are 50 tons of
VOCs and 100 tons of NOX (ozone
precursors in moderate 8-hour ozone
NAA and PM2.5 precursors in PM2.5
NAA), 100 tons of CO (CO maintenance
area), 100 tons of PM10 (moderate PM10
NAA), 100 tons of PM2.5 (PM2.5 NAA),
and 100 tons of SO2 (PM2.5 precursor in
PM2.5 NAA).
LMDC has determined that the total
annual direct and indirect emissions of
all such criteria pollutants from the
Selected Project are less than the de
minimis rates prescribed in 40 CFR
93.153(b), as currently in effect, that
would trigger the requirement to
conduct a general conformity
determination. Therefore, a general
conformity determination is not
necessarily required by current federal
regulations. Nonetheless, temporarily,
during construction, annual NOX
emissions are predicted to exceed the
threshold of 25 tons per year that would
apply to a severe ozone non-attainment
area under the former 1-hour ozone
NAAQS. Accordingly, LMDC prepared a
Conformity Determination to
demonstrate the Selected Project’s
conformity with the ozone SIP.
B. Requirements of the Conformity
Determination
The purpose of the conformity
analysis is to establish that the Selected
Project will conform to the New York
ozone SIP, thereby demonstrating that
total direct and indirect emissions of the
ozone precursors, in this case NOX, from
the Selected Project, will not:
• Cause or contribute to any new
violation of any standard in the area,
• Interfere with provisions in the
applicable SIP for maintenance of any
standard,
• Increase the frequency or severity of
any existing violation of any standard in
any area, or
• Delay timely attainment of any
standard or any required interim
emission reductions or other milestones
in the SIP for purposes of—
1. A demonstration of reasonably
further progress (RFP),
2. A demonstration of attainment, or
3. A maintenance plan.
For the purposes of a general
conformity determination, direct and
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
indirect emissions are defined as
follows (40 CFR 93.152):
• Direct Emissions: Those emissions
of a criteria pollutant or its precursors
that are caused or initiated by the
Federal action and occur at the same
time and place as the action;
• Indirect Emissions: Those emissions
of a criteria pollutant or its precursors
that—
1. Are caused by the federal action,
but may occur later in time and/or may
be further removed in distance from the
action itself but are still reasonably
foreseeable; and
2. The federal agency can practicably
control and will maintain control over
due to a continuing program
responsibility of the federal agency.
LMDC has determined that the
predicted emissions due to the Selected
Project during construction that should
be subject to its general conformity
review include direct emissions from (1)
non-road engines operating on-site
during construction, (2) marine vessels
carrying materials to and from the site
and conducting other work along the
waterfront, and (3) emissions from
construction-related vehicles traveling
to and from the site.
C. Presumption of Conformity
The Selected Project will be located in
an area previously designated as a
severe ozone non-attainment area under
the 1-hour ozone NAAQS. The NOX
emissions during two years of
construction were predicted to
potentially exceed the prescribed level
for severe ozone non-attainment areas
(25 tons per year). Therefore, LMDC has
determined the following:
• The methods for estimating direct
and indirect emissions from the
Selected Project meet the requirements
of 40 CFR 93.159.
• The Selected Project was predicted
to result in the emission of up to 70.5
tons and 31.2 tons of NOX per year in
2008 and 2009, respectively.
• All construction-related NOX
emissions, including those from the
Selected Project, are included in the
emissions budget specified in the New
York State Implementation Plan for
Ozone—Phase II Alternative Attainment
Demonstration.
• The Selected Project does not cause
or contribute to any new violation, or
increase the frequency or severity of any
existing violation, of the standards for
the pollutants addressed in 40 CFR
93.158.
• The Selected Project does not
violate any requirements or milestones
in the ozone SIP.
Based on these determinations, the
Selected Project is presumed to conform
PO 00000
Frm 00060

to the ozone SIP for the project area. The
activities that are presumed to conform
include all construction-related
activities that will receive federal
funding for the East River Waterfront
Esplanade and Piers Project.

Senate Committee on Homeland
Security and Governmental Affairs, and
the House Committee on Oversight and
Government Reform.
Authority
The matching program will be
conducted pursuant to ‘‘The Computer
Matching and Privacy Protection Act of
1988 (Pub. L. 100–503),’’ as amended,
and OMB Circular A–129 (Revised
January 1993), Policies for Federal
Credit Program and Non-Tax
Receivables. One of the purposes of all
Executive departments and agencies—
including HUD—is to implement
efficient management practices for
Federal credit programs. OMB Circular
A–129 was issued under the authority of
the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921,
as amended; the Budget and Accounting
Act of 1950, as amended; the Debt
Collection Act of 1982, as amended;
and, the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984,
as amended.
Objectives To Be Met by the Matching
Program
The matching program will allow
USDA access to a system which permits
prescreening of applicants for loans
owed or guaranteed by the federal
government to ascertain if the applicant
is delinquent in paying a debt owed to
or insured by the Government. In
addition, HUD will be provided access
to USDA debtor data for prescreening
purposes.
Records To Be Matched
HUD will use records from its systems
of records entitled, Single Family
Insurance System CLAIMS Subsystem
(HUD/SFH–02); Single Family Default
Monitoring System (HUD/SFH–03);
Single Family Mortgage Notes (HUD/
HS–57); and Debt Collection Asset
Management System (HUD/HS–55). The
debtor files for programs involved are
included in these systems of records.
HUD’s debtor files contain information
on borrowers and co-borrowers who are
currently in default (at least 90 days
delinquent on their loans) or who have
had their partial claim subordinate
mortgage called due and payable and it
has not been repaid in full or who have
any outstanding claims paid during the
last three years on a Title I insured or
guaranteed home mortgage loan. The
USDA will provide HUD with debtors

contain information on individuals who
have defaulted on their guaranteed
loans. The USDA will retain ownership
and responsibility for their system of
records that they place with HUD. HUD
serves only as a record location and
routine use recipient for USDA’s data.
Notice Procedures
HUD and the USDA will notify
individuals at the time of application
(ensuring that routine use appears on
the application form) for guaranteed or
direct loans that their records will be
matched to determine whether they are
delinquent or in default on a federal
debt. HUD and USDA will also publish
notices concerning routine use
disclosures in the Federal Register to
inform individuals that a computer
match may be performed to determine a
loan applicant’s credit status with the
federal government.
Categories of Records/Individuals
Involved
The debtor records include these data
elements: SSN, claim number, program
code, and indication of indebtedness.
Categories of records include: Records
of claims and defaults, repayment
agreements, credit reports, financial
statements, and records of foreclosures.
Categories of individuals include:
Former mortgagors and purchasers of
HUD-owned and home improvement
loan debtors who are delinquent or
default on their loans or who have had
their partial claim subordinate mortgage
called due and payable and it has not
been repaid in full.

Matching is expected to begin at least
40 days from the date copies of the
signed (by both HUD and USDA’s Data
Integrity Boards) computer matching
agreement are sent to both Houses of
Congress or at least 30 days from the
date this notice is published in the
Federal Register, whichever is later,
providing no comments are received
which would result in a contrary
determination. The matching program
will be in effect and continue for 18
months with an option to renew for 12
additional months unless one of the
parties to the agreement advises the
other in writing to terminate or modify
the agreement.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Souris River Basin is home to three
national wildlife refuges, known
collectively as the ‘‘Souris River basin
refuges:’’
• Des Lacs National Wildlife Refuge,
along 28 miles of the Des Lacs River.
• J. Clark Salyer National Wildlife
Refuge, along 50 miles of the Souris
River.
• Upper Souris National Wildlife
Refuge, along 35 miles of the upper
Souris River.
The Souris River basin refuges were
established by executive order in 1935;
the purpose of each refuge is for a
‘‘refuge and breeding ground for
migratory birds and other wildlife.’’
The Souris River basin refuges are
located in a critical area of the Central
Flyway, providing nesting and breeding
habitat for migrating and nesting
waterfowl. The J. Clark Salyer National
Wildlife Refuge, in particular, has
developed into one of the most
important duck production areas in the
United States.
The American Bird Conservancy
recognizes all three refuges as ‘‘Globally
Important Bird Areas.’’ In addition, J.
Clark Salyer National Wildlife Refuge is
PO 00000
Frm 00062
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

designated as a regional shorebird site
in the ‘‘Western Hemisphere Shorebird
Reserve Network.’’ Lake Darling at
Upper Souris National Wildlife Refuge
is designated critical habitat for the
federally threatened piping plover.
Representing a comprehensive
collection of all North Dakota plant
communities, these refuges could
contain the only remaining
representatives of drift plain prairie,
considered a threatened resource.
The draft CCP/EA was made available
to the public for a 30-day review and
comment period following the
announcement in the Federal Register
on February 2, 2007 (72 FR 5080–5081).
The draft CCP/EA identified and
evaluated four alternatives for managing
the refuges for the next 15 years.
Alternative A, the No Action
alternative, reflects the current
management of the Souris River basin
refuges. It provides the baseline against
which to compare the other alternatives.
Refuge habitats would continue to be
managed on an opportunistic schedule
that may maintain—or most likely
would result in further decline in—the
diversity of vegetation and wildlife
species. Des Lacs National Wildlife
Refuge and J. Clark Salyer National
Wildlife Refuge would continue to
perform only limited research and
would monitor only long-term
vegetation change. Upper Souris
National Wildlife Refuge would
continue to perform no scientific
research or monitoring. Outreach,
partnerships, and priority public uses
(fishing, hunting, wildlife observation,
wildlife photography, environmental
education, and interpretation) would
continue at present levels.
Alternative B is the Service’s
proposed action and basis for the CCP.
This alternative will prioritize habitats
with high probability of restoration for
management. Other habitats may only
be partially restored or minimally
managed. Research and monitoring will
increase and scientific knowledge
required to restore upland and wetland
plant and animal communities will be
shared (with the public and other
resource managers). Some visitor
services are expected to decrease as
some staff and funding shifts to habitat
restoration. Environmental education
will increase.
In Alternative C, waterfowl habitat
management and waterfowl production
would be emphasized over other refuge
programs. Research and monitoring
would focus on actions that enhance
waterfowl habitat, increase waterfowl
nest densities, and increase nest and
brood survival. Visitor service programs
that use or enhance waterfowl-related

Period of the Match
Matching is expected to begin at least 40 days from the date copies
of the signed (by both HUD and USDA's Data Integrity Boards) computer
matching agreement are sent to both Houses of Congress or at least 30
days from the date this notice is published in the Federal Register,
whichever is later, providing no comments are received which would
result in a contrary determination. The matching program will be in
effect and continue for 18 months with an option to renew for 12
additional months unless one of the parties to the agreement advises
the other in writing to terminate or modify the agreement.
