ACTION: Notice to rescind a Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement. AGENCY: The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that we are rescinding the Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for improvements that were proposed for Forest Road 56 in King County, Washington northeast of the city of North Bend. The NOI was published in the Federal Register on April 27, 2001. This rescission is based on a reduction in the scope of the project. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Traffalis, Project Manager, FHWA, Western Federal Lands Highway Division, 610 East Fifth Street, Vancouver, Washington 98611, Telephone: (360) 619–7700. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in cooperation with the United States Forest Service and King County, is rescinding the NOI to prepare an EIS for a project that had been proposed to improve Forest Road 56, Middle Fork Snoqualmie River Road, in King County, Washington. The NOI is being rescinded because the scope of the project has been reduced from the 2001 proposal to examine new alignments and wider road widths up to 32 feet. Due to potential environmental impacts associated with new alignments and wider widths, as well as funding constraints, the currently proposed project would reconstruct the road and associated features along its current alignment to a consistent width of 20 feet. The currently proposed project extends approximately 9.7 miles from milepost 2.7, just past the couplet portion of the route, to the Middle Fork Campground at approximately milepost 12.4, within the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before March 30, 2011.

(These telephone numbers are not toll-free.) SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery. Abstract: The information collection activity will garner qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with the Administration’s commitment to improving service delivery. By qualitative feedback, FRA means information that provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions, but are not statistical surveys that yield quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of study. This feedback will provide insights into customer or stakeholder perceptions, experiences and expectations, provide an early warning of issues with service, or focus attention on areas where communication, training or changes in operations might improve delivery of products or services. These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative and actionable communications between the Agency and its customers and stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management. The solicitation of feedback will target areas such as: Timeliness, appropriateness, content and accuracy of information, usefulness of information, courtesy, efficiency of service delivery, and resolution of issues with service delivery. Responses will be assessed to plan and inform efforts to improve or maintain the quality of service offered to the public. If this information is not collected, vital feedback from customers and stakeholders on the Agency’s services will be unavailable. FRA will only submit a collection of information for approval under this generic clearance if it meets the following conditions: • The collections are voluntary; • The collections are low-burden for respondents (based on considerations of total burden hours, total number of respondents, or burden-hours per respondent) and are low-cost for both FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: PO 00000 Frm 00066 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 10939 respondents and the Federal Government; • The collections of information are non-controversial and do not raise issues of concern to other Federal agencies; • Any collection is targeted to the solicitation of opinions from respondents who have experience with the program or may have experience with the program in the near future; • Personally identifiable information (PII) is collected only to the extent necessary and is not retained; • Information gathered is intended to be used only internally for general management purposes and is not intended for release outside of the agency (if released, the agency must indicate the qualitative nature of the information); • Information gathered will not be used for purposes of substantially informing influential policy decisions; and • Information gathered will yield qualitative information; the collections will not be designed or expected to yield statistically reliable results or used as though the results are generalizable to the population of study. Feedback collected under this generic clearance will provide useful information, but it will not yield data that can be generalized to the overall population. This type of generic clearance for qualitative information will not be used for quantitative information collections that are designed to yield reliably actionable results, such as monitoring trends over time or documenting program performance. Such data uses require more rigorous designs that address: The target population to which generalizations will be made, the sampling frame, the sample design (including stratification and clustering), the precision requirements or power calculations that justify the proposed sample size, the expected response rate, methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data collection, and any testing procedures that were or will be undertaken prior to fielding the study. Depending on the degree of influence the results are likely to have, such collections may still be eligible for submission for other generic mechanisms that are designed to yield quantitative results. As a general matter, information collections will not result in any new system of records containing privacy information and will not ask questions of a sensitive nature, such as sexual behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs, and other matters that are commonly considered private.
