SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Council on
Environmental Quality Regulations (40
CFR part 1500–08) implementing
procedural provisions of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the
Department of Labor, Employment and
Training Administration, Office of Job
Corps, in accordance with 29 CFR
11.11(d), gives notice that an
Environmental Assessment (EA) has
been prepared for a proposed new Job
Corps Training Center to be located in
Riverton, Wyoming, and that the
proposed plan for a new Job Corps
Training Center will have no significant
environmental impact. This Preliminary
Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI) will be made available for
public review and comment for a period
of 30 days.
DATES: Comments must be submitted by
January 9, 2008.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Copies of the EA are available to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
Environmental Assessment (EA)
summary addresses the proposed
construction of a new Job Corps
Training Center in Riverton, Wyoming.
The subject property for the proposed
Job Corps Training Center is an
approximately 124.4-acre undeveloped
parcel of land owned by the City of
Riverton, Wyoming.
The Job Corps Training Center project
would include construction of the
academic/vocational training center,
residential housing, single parent
housing, child care facility, medical/
dental facilities, cafeteria, recreation,
storage and maintenance areas,
administrative support facilities, and
site utilities. The new facility will be
able to accommodate 250 to 300
residential students and 15 nonresidential students.
The Job Corps Training Center will
have a positive affect on the Riverton
area. This conclusion is based upon the
fact the Riverton area has been actively
pursuing the Job Corps Training Center
by bringing the community together to
achieve the goal of the Job Corps
Training Center development. This was
the sentiment shared by Wind River
Reservation, City, County and State
officials, when they learned Riverton
was selected as a Job Corps Training
Center for Wyoming. It is important to
note that Wyoming and New Hampshire
are the only states that do not currently
have a Job Corps Training Center. The
city of Riverton has given a 99 year lease
for $1/year on the proposed property
near Airport Road for the Job Corps
Training Center. The Job Corps Training
Center may be the largest employer to
move into Riverton since Wal-Mart
arrived in 1990. Support was also
provided by Fremont County School
District No. 25 and the school district
will be a partner in the project.
The proposed project will not have
any significant adverse impact on any
natural systems or resources. No state or
federal threatened or endangered
species (proposed or listed) have been
identified on the subject property.
The Job Corps Center construction
will not affect any existing historic
structures, as there are no historic or
archeologically sensitive areas on the
proposed property parcel.
Air quality and noise levels should
not be affected by the proposed
development project. Due to the nature
of the proposed project, it would not be
PO 00000
Frm 00057
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

a significant source of air pollutants or
additional noise, except possibly during
construction of the facility. All
construction activities will be
conducted in accordance with
applicable noise and air pollution
regulations, and all pollution sources
will be permitted in accordance with
applicable pollution control regulations.
The development of the Job Corps
Training Center will result in an
increase in vehicular traffic, primarily
because of staff required for the center
and public transportation for the Job
Corps Training Center students. The Job
Corps Training Center development
anticipated street entrance on Airport
Road in Riverton does not currently
have an operating traffic signal utilized
for traffic control, and this may be
required when the Job Corps Training
Center is constructed. New primary
access will also be required because the
Job Corps Training Center is currently
undeveloped property.
The Job Corps Training Center will
not degrade existing water ways. The
new Job Corps Training Center will be
in an arid area of Wyoming with
minimal rainfall. The development of
the parcel will involve construction of
potable water, sanitary sewer and storm
sewer lines. The new buildings to be
constructed for the proposed Job Corps
Center will be tied in to the existing
Riverton, Wyoming Department of
Public Works Water and Sewer
distribution system. The Job Corps
Training Center expected contribution
to waste water treatment will be well
within the capacity of the Riverton
Sewage Treatment Plant.
Electric services would be provided
by Rocky Mountain Power. Natural gas
would be provided by Source Gas,
which is delivered through Source Gas
pipelines. Telecommunications would
be provided by Qwest and Bresnan
Communications. This is not expected
to create any significant impact to the
regional utility infrastructure.
No significant adverse affects to local
medical, emergency, fire and police
services are anticipated. The primary
medical provider is the Riverton
Hospital located two miles southeast of
the development at 2100 West Sunset
Drive in Riverton. The hospital
maintains emergency/trauma services
and outpatient services for the Riverton
area.
The Job Corps Center will have a
small medical and dental facility on-site
for use by the residents as necessary.
Security services at the Job Corps will
be provided by the center’s security
staff. Law enforcement services are
provided by the Riverton Police
Department located at 816 North

Federal Blvd. in Riverton. The Riverton
Fire Department is a volunteer
department, which runs two local fire
stations in the city of Riverton. Fortyseven (47) volunteer fire fighters are
available 24 hours a day to provide fire
protection and emergency medical
services to city residents and
businesses.
The proposed project will not have a
significant adverse sociological affect on
the surrounding community. Similarly,
the proposed project will not have a
significant adverse affect on
demographic and socioeconomic
characteristics of the area.
The alternatives considered in the
preparation of this FONSI were as
follows: (1) No Action; and (2) Continue
Project as Proposed. The No Action
alternative was not selected. The U.S.
Department of Labor’s goal of improving
the Job Corps Program by improving the
learning environment at Job Corps
Training Centers would not be met
under this alternative. Due to the
suitability of the proposed site for
establishment of a new Job Corps
Training Center, and the absence of any
identified significant adverse
environmental impacts from locating a
Job Corps Training Center on the subject
property, the ‘‘Continue Project as
Proposed’’ alternative was selected.
Based on the information gathered
during the preparation of the EA, no
environmental liabilities, current or
historical, were found to exist on the
proposed Job Corps Training Center
Site. The construction of the Job Corps
Training Center at 4000 Airport Road in
Riverton, Wyoming will not create any
significant adverse impacts on the
environment.

ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of

information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This
program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. Currently, the
Employment Standards Administration
is soliciting comments concerning its
proposal to extend OMB approval of the
information collection: Report of
Changes that May Affect Your Black
Lung Benefits (CM–929 and CM–929P).
A copy of the proposed information
collection request can be obtained by
contacting the office listed below in the
ADDRESSES section of this Notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
ADDRESSES section below on or before
February 11, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Mr. Steven Andoseh, U.S.
Department of Labor, 200 Constitution

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I.
Background: The Federal Mine Safety
and Health Act of 1977, as amended, 30
U.S.C. 936, 30 U.S.C. 941 and 20 CFR
725.533(e) authorizes the Division of
Coal Mine Workers’ Compensation
(DCMWC) to pay compensation to coal
miner beneficiaries. Once a miner or
survivor is found eligible for benefits,
the primary beneficiary is requested to
report certain changes that may affect
benefits. To ensure that there is a review
and update of all claims paid from the
Black Lung Disability Trust Fund, and
from Social Security cases transferred to
the Department of Labor under the
Black Lung Consolidation of
Administrative Responsibilities Act of
2002, and to help the beneficiary
comply with the need to report certain
changes, the CM–929 is sent to all
appropriate primary beneficiaries. The
CM–929 is printed by the Division of
Coal Mine Workers’ Compensation
(DCMWC) computer system with
information specific to each beneficiary,
such as name, address, number of
dependents on record, state workers’
compensation information, and amount
of current benefits. The beneficiary
reviews the information and certifies
that the information is current, or
provides updated information. The form
includes a warning about potential
PO 00000
Frm 00058
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
consequences of failure to report
changes. DCMWC uses Information
Collection OMB 1215–0173, Forms CM–
623 and CM–623S, to monitor a
representative payee’s use of funds paid
on a beneficiary’s behalf. This is an
annual reporting requirement and,
while the information collected on OMB
1215–0084 and 1215–0173 is different,
the same payees complete both forms,
and the same DCMWC claims examiner
reviews them. Therefore, DCMWC
proposes to incorporate the CM–929
into the CM–623 and CM–623S in those
cases that appropriately are now sent
both forms. This new, composite form is
entitled CM–929P, and will allow
respondents to verify information to
DCMWC once annually instead of twice,
as is now required. This information
collection is currently approved for use
through June 30, 2008.
II. Review Focus: The Department of
Labor is particularly interested in
comments which:
* Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
* evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
* enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
* minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
III. Current Actions: The Department
of Labor seeks approval for the revision
of this currently approved information
collection in order to verify the accuracy
of information in the beneficiary’s
claims file, to identify changes in the
beneficiary’s status, and to ensure that
the amount of compensation being paid
the beneficiary is accurate.
Type of Review: Revision.
Agency: Employment Standards
Administration.
Title: Report of Changes That May
Affect Your Black Lung Benefits.
OMB Number: 1215–0084.
Agency Number: CM–929 and CM–
929P.
Affected Public: Individuals and Notfor-profit institutions.
