to ensure a standardized approach and
to ensure a consistent quality of
information.
To submit a proposal for the
NLRSEORA, three standard OMB forms
and project narrative must be completed
and submitted via Grants.gov. This
notice provides the public an
opportunity to comment on the
paperwork burden of these forms. The
forms are available at https://
www07.grants.gov/agencies/
approved_standard_forms.jsp.
We will protect information from
respondents considered proprietary
under the Freedom of Information Act
(5 U.S.C. 552) and its implementing
regulations (43 CFR Part 2), and under
regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, ‘‘Data
and information to be made available to
the public or for limited inspection.’’
Responses are voluntary. No questions
of a ‘‘sensitive’’ nature are asked. We
intend to release the project abstracts
and primary investigators for awarded/
funded projects only.
Frequency: Annually.
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: Approximately 10
proposals are submitted by individuals
involved in the area of geospatial
science.
Estimated Number of Responses: 10.
Annual Burden Hours: 240.
Estimated Annual Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: We
estimate the public reporting burden
averages 16 to 24 hours per response.
This includes the time for reviewing

and completing and reviewing the
information.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: We have not identified any
‘‘non-hour cost’’ burdens associated
with this collection of information.
Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA
(44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and
you are not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. Until OMB approves a
collection of information, you are not
obligated to respond.
Request for Comments: We invite
comment concerning this IC on: (1)
Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary, including
whether or not the information will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
our estimate of the burden for this

applications for rights-of-way (ROWs)
with the BLM and the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service for construction,
operation, maintenance, and
termination of a 29-mile-long, 230kilovolt (kV) transmission line that
would connect the proposed Echanis
Wind Energy Project, located on private
land on the north end of Steens
Mountain, with Harney Electric
Cooperative’s existing transmission
system near Diamond Junction, Oregon.
A Draft EIS analyzing impacts of the
project was released for public comment
on July 16, 2010, as announced by the
BLM’s publication of a Notice of
Availability in the Federal Register
(75 FR 41514). The BLM received 258
comments about the Draft EIS. The
comments were incorporated, where
appropriate, to clarify the analysis
presented in the Final EIS. The Final
EIS analyzes three alternatives: Two
alternatives granting the ROW and a noaction alternative. These alternatives
include:
Alternative A—No-Action—This
alternative includes denying a ROW for
construction and operation of a
transmission line and associated
facilities across lands administered by
the BLM and the Malheur National
Wildlife Refuge.
Alternative B—Proposed Action—
West Route—This alternative includes
the granting of a ROW for construction
and operation of a 230-kV transmission
line and associated facilities across
lands administered by the BLM and the
Malheur National Wildlife Refuge from
the Echanis Wind Energy Project
substation to Harney Electric
Cooperative’s existing 115-kV
transmission line near Diamond
Junction, Oregon. Included in the
analysis of this alternative are two
additional minor route deviations.
Alternative C—Preferred
Alternative—North Route—This
alternative includes the granting of a
ROW for construction and operation of
a 230-kV transmission line and
associated facilities across lands
administered by the BLM from the
Echanis Wind Energy Project substation
to Harney Electric Cooperative’s existing
115-kV transmission line near Crane,
Oregon. This alternative is the Preferred
Alternative in the Final EIS.
The Final EIS also identifies and
analyzes measures to mitigate adverse
impacts for each alternative. Because
the Echanis Wind Energy Project and
other associated developments on
private land are ‘‘connected actions’’
under NEPA, they are included and
analyzed in the Final EIS.
