Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 106 / Thursday, June 4, 2009 / Notices
during the initial comment period did
not dispute or comment on these
particular issues related to APHIS’ plant
pest risk assessment.)
For the reasons explained above,
APHIS has determined that neither
Event 3272 corn itself, nor the alphaamylase enzyme in Event 3272 corn, is
a plant pest. To make clear APHIS’
above determination that neither Event
3272 corn, nor the alpha-amylase
enzyme in Event 3272 corn, is a ‘‘living
stage’’ of any of the organisms (articles)
listed in subparagraphs (A) through (H)
of the PPA’s plant pest definition,
APHIS has revised the plant pest risk
assessment for Event 3272 corn to
include the PPA’s definition of a plant
pest. The revised assessment also
concludes that neither Event 3272 corn
nor the alpha-amylase enzyme in Event
3272 corn is a plant pest because neither
Event 3272 corn nor the alpha-amylase
enzyme meets the PPA’s definition of a
plant pest. These revisions to the plant
pest risk assessment are for clarity and
further explanation, but do not change
the overall conclusions made in the
draft plant pest risk assessment that
Event 3272 corn is unlikely to pose a
plant pest risk.
APHIS welcomes additional comment
on the issues raised during this process.
APHIS is also requesting comment on
the revised plant pest risk assessment,
and APHIS’ conclusion, as explained
above, that Event 3272 corn and the
alpha-amylase enzyme in Event 3272
corn are not plant pests. APHIS will
carefully evaluate all additional
comments received during this process,
and any other relevant information. All
comments received regarding the
petition, draft EA, and plant pest risk
assessment will be available for public
review on the Regulations.gov Web site
(see footnote 1 for a link). After
reviewing and evaluating the comments
on the petition, draft EA, plant pest risk
assessment, and other relevant
information, APHIS will make its
determination, either approving or
denying the petition. APHIS will then
publish a notice in the Federal Register
announcing the regulatory status of
Event 3272 corn and the availability of
APHIS’ written regulatory and
environmental decision.
Accordingly, we are reopening the
comment period on Docket No. APHIS–
2007–0016 for an additional 30 days.
This action will allow interested
persons additional time to prepare and
submit comments. We will also consider
all comments received between January
21, 2009 (the day after the close of the
original comment period), and the date
of this notice.

at PowerSouth’s existing McIntosh
Power Plant in Washington County,
Alabama.
ADDRESSES: The FONSI is available for
public review at USDA Rural Utilities

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PowerSouth is proposing to construct a
new 360 megawatt peak-load natural
gas-fired generation facility at
PowerSouth’s existing McIntosh Power
Plant with an in-service date of late
2010. The proposed project would
consist of two 180 megawatt combustion
turbine units operated by natural gas.
Burns and McDonnell Engineering
Company, Inc., an environmental
consulting firm, has prepared an
26835
Environmental Analysis (EA) for RUS.
Rural Utilities Service has conducted an
independent evaluation of the EA and
believes that it accurately assesses the
impacts of the proposal and has
determined that no significant impacts
would result from the construction and
operation of the proposal.
Any final action by RUS related to the
proposed project will be subject to, and
contingent upon, compliance with all
relevant Federal environmental laws
and regulations and completion of
environmental review procedures as
prescribed by the 7 CFR part 1794,
Environmental Policies and Procedures.

Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census
Bureau requests authorization from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) to conduct the Wave 4 interview
for the 2008 Panel of the Survey of
Income and Program Participation
(SIPP). The core SIPP and reinterview
instruments were cleared under
Authorization No. 0607–0944.
The SIPP represents a source of
information for a wide variety of topics
and allows information for separate
topics to be integrated to form a single
and unified database so that the
interaction between tax, transfer, and
other government and private policies
can be examined. Government domestic
policy formulators depend heavily upon
the SIPP information concerning the
distribution of income received directly
as money or indirectly as in-kind
benefits and the effect of tax and
transfer programs on this distribution.
They also need improved and expanded
data on the income and general
economic and financial situation of the
U.S. population. The SIPP has provided
these kinds of data on a continuing basis
since 1983, permitting levels of
economic well-being and changes in
these levels to be measured over time.
The survey is molded around a
central ‘‘core’’ of labor force and income
questions that remain fixed throughout
the life of a panel. The core is
supplemented with questions designed
to answer specific needs, such as
estimating eligibility for government
programs, examining pension and
health care coverage, and analyzing
individual net worth. These
supplemental questions are included
with the core and are referred to as
‘‘topical modules.’’
The topical modules for the 2008
Panel Wave 4 are as follows: Assets,
Liabilities, and Eligibility; Child Well
Being; Medical Expenses and Utilization
of Health Care (Adults and Children);
