FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kevin D. Norton, State Conservationist, Natural Resources Conservation Service, 3737 Government Street, Alexandria, Louisiana 71302; telephone (318) 473– 7751. The environmental assessment of the federally assisted action indicates that the project will not cause significant local, regional, or national impacts on the environment. As a result of these findings, Kevin D. Norton, State Conservationist, has determined that preparation and review of an environmental impact statement is not needed for this project. Denbury is proposing to construct a 24″ CO2 pipeline approximately 81.0 miles in length located within Issaquena, Warren, and Yazoo Counties, Mississippi and Madison and Richland Parishes, Louisiana. The proposed pipeline will transport CO2 to the Delhi Field for the purpose of tertiary oil recovery. The proposed 24″ CO2 pipeline will cross existing federal Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) easements held by the USDA–NRCS in Madison Parish, Louisiana and Warren County, Mississippi. The affected WRP properties in Louisiana are the Little Tensas Bayou Farm/Pilgrims Place and Charles Fondren WRPs. The affected WRP properties in Mississippi are the Willow Break, LLC and the M. James Chaney, Jr. WRP. The Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has been forwarded to the Environmental Protection Agency and to various federal, state, and local agencies and interested parties. A limited number of copies of the FONSI are available to fill single copy request at the above address. Basic data collected during the environmental assessment are on file and may be reviewed by contacting Kevin D. Norton. No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:26 Sep 23, 2008 Jkt 214001 taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal Register.

OMB Approval Number: 0648–0374. Type of Request: Regular submission. Burden Hours: 166. Number of Respondents: 241. Average Hours per Response: 5 minutes. Needs and Uses: Under current regulations, NMFS may select for observer coverage any fishing trip by a vessel that has a permit for Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS). National Marine Fisheries Service PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 (NMFS) notifies vessel owners, in writing, when their vessels have been selected. The owners of those vessels are then required to notify NMFS before commencing any fishing trip for Atlantic HMS. Such notification allows NMFS to arrange for observer placements and assignments. Vessels are selected randomly from a list of active vessels that have reported landings of targeted species during the previous year. Observers are placed aboard vessels to collect, among other things, information on species caught, catch disposition, gear, effort, and bycatch. The information is used in stock assessments to estimate rates of bycatch of non-targeted and protected species such as sea turtles, and to improve overall management of the fishery. A Biological Opinion (BiOp) issued on June 1, 2004, under the Endangered Species Act, requires a minimum of eight percent observer coverage in the pelagic longline fishery. In order to better monitor incidental landings of bluefin tuna in the Gulf of Mexico, during bluefin tuna spawning season, pelagic longline vessels fishing in the gulf will be subject to 100 percent observer coverage from March 9–June 9 (41 vessels). The shark bottom longline observer program has set a target of five percent observer coverage in the shark bottom longline fishery. A BiOp issued in October 2003 requires NMFS to maintain or increase this level of observer coverage. Additionally, upcoming management measures will establish a shark research fishery including approximately 10 vessels with 100 percent coverage throughout the year. Observer coverage for the shark gillnet fishery fluctuates from approximately 50 percent to 100 percent, depending on the time of year. Although technically not required, vessels operating in other HMS fisheries may be selected for observer coverage depending on factors including limited funding. Burden estimates include a ten percent adjustment upward from current levels to account for future expansion of observer coverage in other fisheries. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. Frequency: On occasion. Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395–3897.
