Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 165 / Thursday, August 26, 2010 / Notices
Needs and Uses: The ICC Termination
Act of 1995, Public Law 104–88, 109
Stat. 803 (1995), which took effect on
January 1, 1996, abolished the Interstate
Commerce Commission and transferred
to the STB the responsibility for the
economic regulation of common carrier
rail transportation, including the
collection and administration of the
Carload Waybill Sample. Under 49 CFR
1244, a railroad terminating 4500 or
more carloads, or terminating at least
5% of the total revenue carloads that
terminate in a particular state, in any of
the three preceding years is required to
file carload waybill sample information
(Waybill Sample) for all line-haul
revenue waybills terminating on its
lines. The information in the Waybill
Sample is used to monitor traffic flows
and rate trends in the industry. The
Board needs to collect information in
the Waybill Compliance Survey—
information on carloads of traffic
terminated each year by U.S. railroads—
in order to determine which railroads
are required to file the Waybill Sample.
In addition, information collected in the
Waybill Compliance Survey, on a
voluntary basis, about the total
operating revenue of each railroad helps
to determine whether respondents are
subject to other statutory or regulatory
requirements. Accurate determinations
regarding the size of a railroad helps the
Board minimize the reporting burden
for smaller railroads. The Board has
authority to collect this information
under 49 U.S.C. 11144 and 11145 and
under 49 CFR 1244.2.
DATES: Comments on this information
collection should be submitted by
September 27, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be identified as ‘‘Paperwork Reduction
Act Comments, Surface Transportation
Board, Waybill Compliance Survey.’’
These comments should be directed to

submitting a collection to OMB for

proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information.

Notice of Intent To Prepare a
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (SEIS) for the Cal Black
Memorial Airport at Halls Crossing, UT
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of Intent to Prepare a
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement.
AGENCY:
The Northwest Mountain
Region of the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) as lead agency
and the Bureau of Land Management
(BLM) as a cooperating agency
announce that the FAA will prepare a
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) to address issues arising
from the 1993 10th Circuit U.S. Court of
Appeals Decision concerning the
development of Cal Black Memorial
Airport. This supplemental EIS does not
involve any new development or project
at the airport. The Cal Black Memorial
Airport opened in April 1992. To ensure
that all significant issues related to the
action are identified, additional scoping
comments are requested.
Scoping Meeting: Scoping was
conducted in 1990 concerning the
development of this replacement airport
and the transfer of land from the BLM
to San Juan County. Subsequent to the
1993 10th Circuit Court Decision,
additional scoping was conducted in
1995 and 1998. Additional scoping is
being conducted prior to preparing the
Supplemental EIS. A scoping meeting
for agency representatives will be held
at 2 p.m. MST and a scoping meeting for
the general public will be held at 6 p.m.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Halls
Crossing Airport was located within the
boundary of the Glen Canyon National
Recreation Area, a unit of the National
Park Service (NPS). Due to safety issues
with this airport, an EIS was undertaken
concerning the development of a
replacement airport. In 1990, the FAA
issued a Draft and Final Environmental
Impact Statement for the development
of a replacement Airport. In August
1990, the FAA issued a record of
decision approving the development of
Cal Black Memorial Airport. The FAA
determined in the record of decision
that the use of the BLM lands upon
which the airport was built were
reasonably necessary for the project.
Accordingly, the BLM issued a Patent
for the airport land to San Juan County
on September 25, 1990. In reaching its
approval, the FAA determined that no
significant impacts would result from
the new airport to the recreational
experience of visitors to the recreational
area.
In 1990, the National Parks and
Conservation Association (NPCA), et al
brought suit against the FAA concerning
the adequacy of the EIS and the
adequacy of the BLM Plan Amendment
and land transfer process. In its July 7,
1993, decision, the U.S. Court of
Appeals, 10th Circuit, remanded the EIS
decision back to the FAA for further
environmental analysis of aircraft noise
impacts to the recreational use of public
lands and the BLM’s plan amendment
and transfer of land.
On November 17, 2008 the BLM
issued the Monticello Field Office
Record of Decision and Approved
Resource Management Plan. The
E:\FR\FM\26AUN1.SGM

52590
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 165 / Thursday, August 26, 2010 / Notices
document provides guidance for the
management of Federal lands
administered by the BLM in San Juan
County and a small portion of Grant
County in south-east Utah and includes
provisions for the disposal of the Cal
Black Memorial Airport property.
Thus, the purpose of the
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement is to address the requirements
of the U.S. Court of Appeals findings.
The scope of the EIS will include: (1)
The measurement of actual aircraft
noise levels, (2) the evaluation of
existing and future aircraft noise levels;
and (3) if significant impacts are
identified, the evaluation of alternative
means of mitigating the significant
impact. In addition, the Supplemental
EIS will review the transfer of land from
BLM to San Juan County for airport
purposes.
Issued in Denver, CO on Tuesday, August
17, 2010.
