Wright, Administrator and Chief Executive Officer. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Bonneville Power Administration Chief Joseph Hatchery Program [FR Doc. 2010–6881 Filed 3–26–10; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6450–01–P Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), Department of Energy (DOE). AGENCY: Notice of availability of Record of Decision (ROD). ACTION: This notice announces the availability of the ROD to implement the proposed action identified in BPA’s Chief Joseph Hatchery Program Environmental Impact Statement (DOE/ EIS–0384, November 2009). BPA has decided to fund the construction, operation, and maintenance of the Chief Joseph Hatchery and associated facilities in Okanogan County, Washington and adopt the mitigation measures in the Mitigation Action Plan. All practicable means to avoid or minimize environmental harm are adopted. The hatchery program will produce juvenile Chinook salmon and will help mitigate for the effects of the Federal Columbia River Power System on fish and wildlife by enhancing Chinook populations below Chief Joseph Dam in the Okanogan River subbasin and upper middle Columbia River subbasin, and by complementing other on-going salmon protection and mitigation measures. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the operator of the Chief Joseph Dam, is a Federal cooperating agency under NEPA; the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation are the project sponsors and will own and operate the Chinook salmon production program and hatchery facilities. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Marine Fisheries Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; and the State of Washington’s Department of Fish and Wildlife were consulted during the development of the EIS. BPA is issuing this ROD for its actions only; the USACE will issue its own separate ROD. SUMMARY: Copies of the ROD and EIS may be obtained by calling BPA’s tollfree document request line, 1–800–622– 4520.

The telephone number for the Telecommunications Device for the Deaf is 800–877–8339. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A. Need for and Use of the Information Collection Section 4 of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act (Bank Act) establishes the eligibility requirements an institution must meet in order to become a member of a Federal Home Loan Bank (Bank).1 The membership rule, which implements section 4 of the Bank Act, provides uniform requirements an applicant for Bank membership must meet and review criteria a Bank must apply to determine if an applicant satisfies the statutory and regulatory membership eligibility requirements.2 More specifically, the membership rule implements the statutory eligibility requirements and provides guidance on how an applicant may satisfy such requirements. The rule authorizes a Bank to approve or deny each membership application subject to the statutory and regulatory requirements and permits an applicant to appeal to FHFA a Bank’s decision to deny certification as a Bank member. The rule also imposes a continuing obligation on a current Bank member to provide information necessary to determine if it remains in compliance with applicable statutory and regulatory eligibility requirements. The information collection is necessary to enable a Bank to determine whether prospective and current Bank members satisfy the statutory and regulatory requirements to be certified initially and maintain their status as members eligible to obtain Bank advances. FHFA requires and uses the 1 12 U.S.C. 1424. CFR part 1263 (former part 925). See 75 FR 678, 690 (Jan. 5, 2010). 2 12 PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 15431 information collection to determine whether to uphold or overrule a Bank’s decision to deny member certification to an applicant. The OMB control number for the information collection is 2590–0003, which is due to expire on July 31, 2010. The likely respondents are institutions that want to be certified as or are members of a Bank seeking continued certification. B. Burden Estimate FHFA estimates the total annual average number of respondents who are initial applicants at 212, with 1 response per applicant. The estimate for the average hours per application is 21.5 hours. The estimate for the annual hour burden for applicants is 4,558 hours (212 applicants × 1 response per applicant × 21.5 hours per response). FHFA estimates the total annual average number of maintenance respondents, i.e., current Bank members, at 8,106, with 1 response per member. The estimate for the average hours per maintenance response is 0.6 hours. The estimate for the annual hour burden for Bank members is 4,864 hours (8,106 members × 1 response per member × 0.6 hours per response). The estimate for the total annual hour burden for all respondents is 9,422 hours. C. Comment Request FHFA requests written comments on the following: (1) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of FHFA functions, including whether the information has practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FHFA’s estimates of the burdens of the collection of information; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
