Respondent participation in the survey
is voluntary. If the Federal Reserve
contracts with an outside firm that
retains the respondent identifying data
and, pursuant to a contractual
agreement, that data cannot be reported
to the Federal Reserve, then the
respondent identifying data cannot be
considered an agency record and would
not be subject to disclosure under the
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
However, if there is no contractual
agreement between the Federal Reserve
and an outside firm regarding the
reporting of respondent identifying data,
or if the Federal Reserve conducted the
survey itself, the information could be
considered an agency record subject to
subsection (b)(6) of the FOIA. The
confidentiality of the information
obtained from financial institutions and
other stakeholders will be determined
on a case-by-case basis when the
specific questions to be asked on each
particular survey are formulated, but
before respondents are contacted.
Depending upon the survey questions,
confidential treatment could be
warranted under subsection (b)(4) of the
FOIA. 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(4) and (6).
Abstract: The FR 1380 is used to
gather qualitative and quantitative
information directly from consumers
(consumer studies), and also to gather
qualitative and quantitative information
from financial institutions offering
consumer financial products and
services and from other stakeholders,
such as brokers, appraisers, settlement
agents, software vendors, and consumer
groups (stakeholder studies). This
information collection is specifically
targeted to the development of
consumer regulations. The consumer
studies gather information about
individual consumers’ knowledge of,
and attitudes toward, consumer
disclosures used by financial
institutions in compliance with Federal
Reserve regulations. The consumer
studies may also enable the Federal
Reserve to develop and test consumer
education resources. The stakeholder

studies gather information from the
institutions offering financial products
and services and other third parties
regarding products, disclosure,
marketing, advertising, and sales
practices.
Proposal to approve under OMB
delegated authority the implementation
of the following report:
Report Title: Microeconomic Survey.
Agency Form Number: FR 3051.
OMB Control Number: 7100–0321.
Frequency: Annually and monthly, as
needed.
Reporters: Individuals, households,
and financial and non-financial
businesses.
Estimated Annual Reporting Hours:
Annual, 6,000 hours; Monthly, 18,000
hours.
Estimated Average Hours per
Response: Annual, 30 minutes;
Monthly, 60 minutes.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
Annual, 6,000; Monthly, 3,000.
General Description of Report: This
information collection is voluntary (12
U.S.C. 225A and 263). Generally, when
the survey or study is conducted by an
outside firm, names or other such
directly identifying characteristics
would not be reported to the Federal
Reserve. In circumstances where
identifying information is provided to
the Federal Reserve, such information
could possibly be protected from
Freedom of Information Act disclosure
by FOIA exemptions 4 and 6 (5 U.S.C.
552(b)(4) and (6)).
The Federal Reserve Board’s
Microeconomic Surveys section in the
Division of Research and Statistics is an
official statistical unit, as defined under
the Confidential Information Protection
and Statistical Efficiency Act (CIPSEA)
of 2002 (44 U.S.C. 3501). When
information is collected by a private
contractor under the oversight of that
section, there are stringent requirements
for protecting the data and respondents
may be given a legally binding pledge of
confidentiality. The pledge would
disallow any use of the data for a nonstatistical purpose.1 When the Federal
Reserve collects data directly (that is,
without the use of a private data
collection company or other such
agent), respondents may also be offered
such a pledge if the data are intended
for a statistical purpose.
Abstract: The Federal Reserve would
use this event-driven survey to obtain
information specifically tailored to the
1 ‘‘Non-statistical’’ is defined precisely in
CIPSEA. Loosely, an information collection
undertaken for a non-statistical purpose would be
one intended to support a regulatory action or other
action specifically targeted to the entity on which
data were collected.

GENERAL SERVICES
ADMINISTRATION
Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Reconfiguration and Expansion of
the San Luis I Land Port of Entry
AGENCY: Public Buildings Service,
General Services Administration.
ACTION: Notice of intent with request for
comments.
SUMMARY: The General Services
Administration (GSA) announces its
intent to prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) under the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) of 1969 to assess the potential
impacts of reconfiguration and
expansion of the San Luis I Land Port
of Entry (LPOE) in San Luis, Arizona.
The proposed action is for GSA to
reconfigure the existing downtown San
Luis LPOE and expand it to improve its
functionality, capacity, and security.
The San Luis I LPOE was built in 1984
and is operated by the U.S. Department
of Homeland Security (DHS)/U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
The facility currently handles all traffic
modes, including commercial vehicles,
buses, privately operated vehicles
(POVs), and pedestrians. However, the
existing facility is inadequate relative to
CBP’s security standards and is
incapable of adequately handling
current and projected traffic volumes.
GSA therefore is proposing to
reconfigure and expand the existing San
Luis I LPOE so that it may continue to
serve POV’s, buses and pedestrians.
GSA is currently constructing San Luis
II LPOE that will become the
commercial port of entry for Yuma
County, which it expects to complete in
late 2009 at which time the commercial
operations at San Luis I will cease.
GSA proposes to expand the current
port by utilizing the vacated commercial
space and acquiring approximately one

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 59 / Monday, March 30, 2009 / Notices
acre of land along the eastern boundary
of the LPOE, and approximately one
acre along the western boundary of the
LPOE. This expansion will mitigate
traffic congestion in the port and allow
an increase of the number of inspection
lanes and employee parking. The
expansion and reconfiguration of the
LPOE will accommodate 11 primary
booths for northbound inspection and
allow for the future accommodation of
four additional booths, including one
booth for U.S./Mexico Emergency
Vehicle pathway. The current six
primary northbound U.S. entry lanes
will be converted into three primary
booths for U.S. entry for bus/high
occupancy vehicles/recreational
vehicles (HOV/RV) and bicycles.
Southbound vehicle inspection lanes
will be expanded from two to three
lanes and four adjacent secondary
inspection stalls will be constructed.
Under the proposed action, a new
headhouse facility will be constructed,
administrative offices will be renovated,
and pedestrian processing facilities
would be expanded. Roadway
modifications within the port will be
conducted to improve traffic movement
through the port and to enhance
pedestrian safety. These modifications
will also allow for establishment of an
emergency route through the port.
The EIS will evaluate the potential
environmental impacts associated with
alternatives to implement the proposed
action, including the No Action
Alternative:
Alternative 1: Reconfigure the existing
San Luis I LPOE and expand facilities
through acquisition of approximately
one acre of adjacent land to the west
and approximately one acre of adjacent
land to the east.
No Action Alternative: Continue
operations in the existing LPOE
facilities as they are currently
configured. This alternative is included
to provide a basis of comparison to the
action alternative as required by NEPA
regulations (40 CFR 1002.14[d]).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
public scoping period starts with
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register and will continue for 45 days
from the date of the notice. GSA will
consider all comments received or postmarked by that date in defining the
scope of the EIS.
A public scoping meeting will be held
to provide the public with an
opportunity to present comments, ask
questions, and discuss concerns
regarding the scope of the EIS with GSA
representatives. GSA will hold a public
scoping meeting on April 14, 2009 at the
San Luis City Hall Council Chambers,
1090 E. Union Street from 4 to 7 p.m.
DATES: Interested parties should submit
written comments on or before May 14,
2009.
ADDRESSES: Written comments
concerning the scope of the EIS should
be sent to GSA San Luis Scoping, c/o
Parsons, 1700 Broadway Suite 900,

including commercial vehicles, buses, privately operated vehicles
(POVs), and pedestrians. However, the existing facility is inadequate
relative to CBP's security standards and is incapable of adequately
handling current and projected traffic volumes. GSA therefore is
proposing to reconfigure and expand the existing San Luis I LPOE so
that it may continue to serve POV's, buses and pedestrians. GSA is
currently constructing San Luis II LPOE that will become the commercial

will be converted into three primary booths for U.S. entry for bus/high

Southbound vehicle inspection lanes will be expanded from two to three

be constructed, administrative offices will be renovated, and
pedestrian processing facilities would be expanded. Roadway
modifications within the port will be conducted to improve traffic

No Action Alternative: Continue operations in the existing LPOE
facilities as they are currently configured. This alternative is
included to provide a basis of comparison to the action alternative as
required by NEPA regulations (40 CFR 1002.14[d]).
