Abstract: The Forest Service Research
and Development (FS R&D) group has
created a data archive to store and
disseminate data collected in the course
of its scientific research. Preparing data
sets for the archive requires significant
effort from researchers. The Forest
Service has an obligation to encourage
ethical use of archived FS R&D data sets
and needs to know how others are using
the archived data sets. This information
assists FS R&D personnel in evaluating
the research program. Information about
the use of the products of a scientist’s
research is of significant importance in
scientist performance evaluations.
When a member of the public requests
a copy of a data set, FS R&D will collect
the following information: Name;
affiliation; contact information
(including e-mail address); Statement of
Intended Use; and Data Use Agreement.
The Data Use Agreement and associated
information collection closely follow
the data access structure used by the
National Science Foundation’s Long
Term Ecological Research network. FS
R&D managers believe that this structure
provides a sound balance between
meeting obligations to its scientific staff
and ease-of-access by the research
community. The Statement of Intended
Use will not determine access to a
particular data set. A form at the archive
web site will collect the information and
the data set author will use the Data Use
Agreements to describe the impact of
research accomplishments prior to
performance appraisals.
The collection of Data Use
Agreements will be evaluated by the
data archiving program to identify
opportunities for improving the
archive’s function and offerings. The FS
R&D communications office will use the
agreements to assist in assessing the
effectiveness of FS R&D research and
technology transfer.
The FS R&D data archive is a new
activity and participation is voluntary.
This information collection is a critical
component in the campaign to
encourage Forest Service scientists to
deposit their research data in the
archive system. Sharing research data is
very useful to the broader research
community and sharing of well
documented FS R&D data sets via the
archive will be impossible without this
information collection.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 10–15
minutes per respondent.

issue a special use authorization for the
construction, occupancy and use of
national forest system land for a 230kV
electric transmission line. The addition
of an east-west 230kV transmission line
would connect the Hopkins—
Crawfordville 230kV transmission line
south of the Tallahassee Regional
Airport (near the intersection of
Springhill and Bice Roads), with the
existing Substation BP–5 (southeast of
the Capital Circle S.W./Woodville
Highway intersection). The proposed
transmission line would be
approximately 8 miles long with
approximately 6.4 miles located within
the Apalachicola National Forest. The
transmission line would parallel the
existing Florida Gas Transmission
Company’s natural gas lines from the
Hopkins—Crawfordville line until the
forest boundary south of Substation
BP–5. Once off the forest it would
parallel an existing 115kV electric
transmission line to its terminus at
Substation BP–5.
DATES: Comments concerning the scope
of the analysis must be received by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Purpose and Need for Action
The North American Electric
Reliability Corporation (NERC) is the
electric reliability organization certified
by the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) to develop and
enforce Reliability Standards for the
bulk power system. NERC Transmission
Planning Standards (TPL Standards
001–004) identify the mandatory
planning standards that electric utilities
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:30 Oct 13, 2010
Jkt 223001
must follow to ensure that reliable
systems are developed that meet
specified performance requirements.
The City conducts annual studies to
evaluate the reliability of the bulk
transmission system under a variety of
contingencies that ensure the system
meets the NERC standards. Recent
studies have identified that the existing
electric transmission network needs to
be modified to ensure continued
compliance with the NERC reliability
planning standards.
Absent system improvements, the
reliable delivery of power from the
City’s generating facilities and imported
power via ties with other utilities to all
customers cannot be ensured in the
future under certain contingencies. The
loss of multiple transmission lines due
to a single event on a common right of
way would cause other lines on the
system to be overloaded. An additional
electric transmission delivery path from
east to west was identified as the means
by which the City can maintain the
ability to supply projected customer
demands and wholesale transmission
services into the future as required by
the NERC Standards.
The proposed 230kV Transmission
Line would provide enhanced system
benefits that will meet the NERC
mandated requirements and will
improve system performance to the
general public. These benefits include:
(1) Improved system reliability over a
broader range of contingencies & longer
duration as a result of providing an
additional delivery path from generation
sources and interconnections with other
utilities to customers; (2) improved
power transfer (east to west) as a result
of the reduced losses associated with
higher voltage transmission lines; and
(3) address reliability concerns
regarding the ability to supply future
customer demands should one or more
of the current east to west delivery paths
become unavailable due to an
equipment fault or failure.
Proposed Action
The Proposed Action is to issue a
special use authorization for the
construction, occupancy and use of a
230kV electric transmission line on
approximately 6.4 miles of national
forest system lands on the Apalachicola
National Forest. The proposed electric
transmission line would connect the
Hopkins-Crawfordville 230kV line south
of the Tallahassee Regional Airport
(near the intersection of Springhill and
Bice Roads), with the existing
Substation BP–5 (southeast of the
Capital Circle SW. and Woodville
Highway intersection). The proposed
transmission line would be
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4703

approximately 8 miles long with
approximately 6.4 miles located within
the Apalachicola National Forest.
The proposed transmission line
would be located adjacent to an existing
utility corridor currently under a U.S.
Forest Service Special Use Permit with
the Florida Gas Transmission Company.
The proposed transmission line would
increase the existing 80 foot-wide
Florida Gas corridor by an additional 60
feet. The additional corridor would
occur within the temporary work space
previously created by the Florida Gas
Transmission Company and
documented in the January 11, 2010
Record of Decision, Special Use Permit,
Florida Gas Transmission Company,
Phase VIII Expansion Project. The
Proposed Action would also include the
development of a new tap point on the
Hopkins-Crawfordville line.
Possible Alternatives
Two additional routes were evaluated
during development of the proposed
transmission line. The first alternative
route follows Springhill Road, passes
through a smaller undisturbed area of
the Apalachicola National Forest, and
then parallels Capital Circle SW. The
second route, consisting of a minor
deviation of the first route, would
follow Springhill Road all the way to
Capital Circle SW., reducing impact to
the national forest, but would not meet
FAA safety regulations (FAR Part 77) for
structure height near the runway at the
Tallahassee Regional Airport.
Responsible Official
Susan Jeheber-Matthews, Forest
Supervisor, 325 John Knox Road, Suite
F–100, Tallahassee, FL 32303.
Nature of Decision To Be Made
The Forest Service will decide
whether or not to issue a special use
authorization for the construction,
occupancy and use of a 230kV electric
transmission line on approximately 6.4
miles of national forest system lands on
the Apalachicola National Forest and
conditions there of.
