January 28, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In accordance with of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Salt Wells Energy Projects and by this notice is announcing the opening of the comment period.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for emergency review, revisions to the information collection, ``Federal Home Loan Bank Directors,'' OMB No. 2590-0006. The revisions were approved under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Specifically, FHFA requested review of revisions to the 2008 OMB-approved Federal Home Loan Bank Elective Director Eligibility Certification Form, the Federal Home Loan Bank Appointive Director Application Form, and the Federal Home Loan Bank Appointive Director Certification Form. Since 2008, when the Federal Home Loan Banks' (Bank) former regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board), last obtained OMB approval for this information collection, there have been statutory and regulatory changes affecting the use of the forms. The passage of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA), Public Law 110-289 (2008) amended section 7 of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act (Bank Act) which provided for the appointment of a portion of each Federal Home Loan Bank's board of directors. The HERA amendments resulted in needed revisions to the current OMB-approved forms associated with these appointments. The first of the revisions to the forms includes renaming them respectively, the Federal Home Loan Bank Member Director Eligibility Certification Form, the Federal Home Loan Bank Independent Director Application Form, and the Federal Home Loan Bank Independent Director Annual Certification Form. A more detailed description of the remaining revisions is discussed below in Overview of the Information Collection. FHFA requested emergency review of these revisions because the revised forms are being used in January 2011. These revisions did not result in a change in burden. To allow interested persons to comment on this information collection, FHFA is publishing this notice and plans to submit a request for a three-year extension of OMB's approval. Comments regarding this information collection should be addressed to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs of OMB, Attention: Desk Officer for the Federal Housing Finance Agency, Washington, DC 20503, Fax: 202- 395-6974, Email: OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov.

Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has published a final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS), for In-situ Leach Uranium Milling Facilities (NUREG-1910, Supplement 2) for the Nichols Ranch In-situ Recovery Project in Campbell and Johnson Counties, Wyoming. By letter dated November 30, 2007, Uranerz Energy Corporation (Uranerz), submitted an application to the NRC for a new source material license for the proposed Nichols Ranch In-situ Uranium Recovery Project, located in the Pumpkin Buttes Uranium Mining District within the Powder River Basin. Uranerz is proposing to recover uranium from the site using an in-situ leach (also known as an in-situ recovery [ISR]) process. In this final SEIS, the NRC staff assessed the environmental impacts from the construction, operation, aquifer restoration, and decommissioning of the proposed Nichols Ranch ISR Project. The proposed Nichols Ranch ISR Project is comprised of two noncontiguous units, the Nichols Ranch Unit and the Hank Unit. In addition to the proposed action, the NRC staff assessed two alternatives in the final SEIS: the No-Action alternative and an alternative where only the Nichols Ranch Unit would be developed for ISR operations. Under the No-Action alternative, NRC would deny Uranerz's request to construct, operate, conduct aquifer restoration, and decommission an ISR facility at Nichols Ranch. Alternatives that were considered, but were eliminated from detailed analysis, include conventional mining and conventional milling or heap leach processing. However, given the substantial environmental impact from implementing of these alternatives, they were not further considered. The NRC staff also evaluated alternative lixiviants, alternative wastewater disposal options, and an alternative where only the Hank Unit would be developed ISR operations. For reasons discussed in the SEIS, these alternatives were also eliminated from detailed analysis. As discussed in Section 2.3 of the final SEIS, unless safety issues mandate otherwise, the NRC staff's recommendation to the Commission related to the environmental aspects of the proposed action is that the source material license be issued as requested. This recommendation is based upon: (1) The license application, including the environmental and technical report submitted by Uranerz and the applicant's supplemental letters and responses to the NRC staff's requests for additional information; (2) consultation with Federal, State, Tribal, and local agencies; (3) the NRC staff's independent review; (4) the NRC staff's consideration of comments received on the draft SEIS; and (5) the assessments summarized in this SEIS. The final SEIS for the Nichols Ranch ISR Project may be accessed on the Internet at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/ staff/sr1910/s2/. Additionally, the NRC maintains an Agencywide Documents and Management System (ADAMS), which provides text and image files of the NRC's public documents. The SEIS may also be accessed through the NRC's Public Electronic Reading Room on the Internet at: https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. The final ``Environmental Impact Statement for the Nichols Ranch ISR Project in Campbell and Johnson Counties, WyomingSupplement to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for In-situ Leach Uranium Milling Facilities'' is available electronically under ADAMS Accession Number ML104330120. If you do not have access to ADAMS or if there is a problem accessing documents located in ADAMS, contact the NRC Public Document Room (PDR) reference staff at 1-800-397-4209, 301-415-4737, or by e-mail pdr.resource@nrc.gov.

This action establishes five low altitude Area Navigation (RNAV) routes, designated T-281, T-283, T-285, T-286, and T-288, over Nebraska and South Dakota; controlled by Denver Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) and Minneapolis ARTCC. T-routes are low altitude Air Traffic Service routes, based on RNAV, for use by aircraft that have instrument flight rules (IFR) approved Global Positioning System (GPS)/Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) equipment. This action enhances safety and improves the efficient use of the navigable airspace within Denver and Minneapolis ARTCC airspace.

EPA is taking final action to approve a revision to the Tennessee State Implementation Plan (SIP) concerning the maintenance plan addressing the 1997 8-hour ozone standards for the Nashville, Tennessee 1997 8-hour ozone maintenance area, which is comprised of Davidson, Rutherford, Sumner, Williamson, and Wilson Counties in their entireties (hereafter referred to as the ``Nashville Area''). This maintenance plan was submitted by the State of Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) on August 3, 2010, for parallel processing. TDEC submitted the final version of the SIP on October 13, 2010. The maintenance plan ensures the continued attainment of the 1997 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) through the year 2018. This plan meets the statutory and regulatory requirements, and is consistent with EPA's guidance. EPA is taking final action to approve the revision to the Tennessee SIP, pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA). EPA is also in the process of establishing a new 8-hour ozone NAAQS, and expects to finalize the reconsidered NAAQS by July 2011. Today's action, however, relates only to the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS. Requirements for the Nashville Area under the 2011 NAAQS will be addressed in the future.

These special conditions are issued for the Boeing Model 767- 300 series airplane. This airplane, as modified by TTF Aerospace, LLC, will have a novel or unusual design features associated with the pilot lower lobe crew rest module (CRM). The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.

This rule implements the authority added by the SSI Extension for Elderly and Disabled Refugees Act of 2008 (``2008 Act''), as amended by the Claims Resolution Act of 2010 (2010 Act'') to offset overpayments of Federal taxes (referred to as ``tax refund offset'') to collect delinquent State unemployment compensation debts. The Department of the Treasury (Treasury) will incorporate the procedures necessary to collect State unemployment compensation debts as part of the Treasury Offset Program (TOP), a centralized offset program operated by the Financial Management Service (FMS), a Treasury bureau. FMS has promulgated a rule governing the offset of federal tax refunds to collect delinquent State income tax obligations. This rule amends FMS regulations to include unemployment compensation debts among the types of State debts that may be collected by tax refund offset. This rule does not affect any of the requirements or procedures for collecting delinquent State income tax obligations.
