Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 186 / Wednesday, September 24, 2008 / Notices
CFR part 1500); and the Natural
Resources Conservation Service
Guidelines (7 CFR part 650); the Natural
Resources Conservation Service, U.S.
Department of Agriculture, gives notice
that an environmental impact statement
is not being prepared for the Denbury
Onshore, LLC 24″ CO2 Delhi Pipeline—
Madison and Richland Parishes,
Louisiana and Issaquena, Warren and
Yazoo Counties, Mississippi.
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

Title: Atlantic Highly Migratory
Species Observer Notification
Requirements.

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

(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.
