ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance 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. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed extension of
‘‘General Inquiries to State Agency
Contacts.’’ A copy of the proposed
information collection request (ICR) can
be obtained by contacting the individual
listed below in the ADDRESSES section of
this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice on or
before May 26, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Nora
Kincaid, BLS Clearance Officer,
Division of Management Systems,
Bureau of Labor Statistics, Room 4080,
2 Massachusetts Avenue, NE.,
Washington, DC 20212, 202–691–7628.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
awards funds to State agencies in the 50
States, the District of Columbia, Puerto
Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands,
hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘States’’) in
order to jointly conduct BLS/State Labor
Market Information and Occupational
Safety and Health Statistics cooperative
statistical programs, which themselves
have been approved by OMB separately,
as follows:

To ensure the timely flow of data and
to be able to evaluate and improve the
programs, it is necessary to conduct
ongoing communications between the
BLS and its State partners. Whether
information requests deal with program
deliverables, program enhancements, or
administrative issues, questions and
dialogue are crucial to the successful
implementation of these programs.

National Environmental Policy Act;
Wallops Flight Facility Shoreline
Restoration and Infrastructure
Protection Program
AGENCY: National Aeronautics and
Space Administration.
ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
and to conduct scoping for the Wallops
Flight Facility Shoreline Restoration
and Infrastructure Protection Program
(SRIPP).
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act, as amended,
VerDate Nov<24>2008
01:06 Mar 24, 2009
Jkt 217001
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), the
Council on Environmental Quality
Regulations for Implementing the
Procedural Provisions of NEPA (40 CFR
Parts 1500–1508), and NASA’s NEPA
policy and procedures (14 CFR Part
1216, subpart 1216.3), NASA intends to
prepare an EIS for the implementation
of a long-term SRIPP at Wallops Flight
Facility (WFF). The U.S. Minerals
Management Service (MMS) and the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Norfolk
District, have been asked to participate
as Cooperating Agencies as they possess
both regulatory authority and
specialized expertise pertaining to the
Proposed Action. MMS has recently
accepted NASA’s request and will serve
as a Cooperating Agency in the
preparation of this EIS.
In May 2007, NASA released for
public comment a Draft Programmatic
Environmental Assessment for Goddard
Space Flight Center’s Wallops Flight
Facility, Shoreline Restoration and
Infrastructure Protection Program. Since
that time, NASA’s Proposed Action has
changed and NASA will now prepare an
EIS for the Proposed Action currently
under consideration.
The SRIPP would be implemented to
restore the Wallops Island shoreline and
to protect the over $800 million in
Federal and state assets on Wallops
Island that are increasingly at risk from
larger than normal storm events, storm
waves, and flooding damage. The design
and implementation of a solution to
provide Wallops Island infrastructure
with the necessary protection from both
storm energy and flooding form the
basis of the Proposed Action and
alternatives to be analyzed in the WFF
SRIPP EIS. The project’s design lifespan
would be fifty (50) years. The No Action
Alternative is to not implement the WFF
SRIPP, but to continue making
emergency repairs to the Wallops Island
shoreline as necessary.
NASA will hold a public scoping
meeting as part of the NEPA process
associated with the development of the
EIS. The public meeting location and
date identified at this time are provided
under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
below.
DATES: Interested parties are invited to
submit comments on environmental
issues and concerns, preferably in
writing, on or before May 11, 2009, to
assure full consideration during the
scoping process.
ADDRESSES: Comments submitted by
mail should be addressed to 250/NEPA

and Infrastructure Protection Program,

WFF is a
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
field installation located in Accomack
County on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
As the oldest active launch range in the
continental United States and the only
range completely under NASA
management, WFF has launched over
15,000 orbital and suborbital rockets
since its operations began in the early
1940s.
WFF consists of three distinct
landmasses totaling nearly 2,630
hectares (6,500 acres)—the Main Base,
Wallops Mainland, and Wallops Island.
To meet the safety and technical
requirements of its various missions,
many of WFF’s primary launch support
facilities reside on Wallops Island
(island) which is located directly on the
Atlantic Ocean. Even prior to NASA’s
presence on the island, the landmass
has been subject to the effects of
shoreline retreat, with measured losses
averaging approximately 3.7 meters
(12.2 feet) per year since 1857. Since the
early 1960s, NASA has implemented
several shoreline protection projects on
the island that have included
construction of wooden groins
perpendicular to its shoreline,
construction of a rock armor seawall
parallel to its shoreline, and placement
of dredged material along its shorefront.
Despite these efforts, the ocean has
continued to encroach substantially
toward launch pads, infrastructure, and
test and training facilities belonging to
NASA, the U.S. Navy, and the MidAtlantic Regional Spaceport. In calendar
years 2006 and 2007, NASA prepared a
Draft SRIPP Programmatic
Environmental Assessment to assess a
wide variety of shoreline protection and
flood control measures on the island.
After receiving public comment and
carefully considering the objectives of
the project, NASA has since modified
