approximately 1,500 feet underground
in the Rustler Formation. Once mined,
the polyhalite is hoisted to the surface,
crushed, calcined, leached, and
granulated to produce sulfate of potash,
the saleable product. The final product
will be moved via truck to a load-out
facility near Jal, where it will be loaded
on trains and shipped.
The purpose of the public scoping
process is to determine relevant issues
that will influence the scope of the
environmental analysis, including
alternatives, and guide the process for
developing the EIS. At present, the BLM
has identified the following preliminary
issues:
• Water availability;
• Impacts from subsidence;
• Impacts to oil and gas exploration
and operation in the project area;
• Impacts to air quality; and
• Impacts to wildlife and range.
The BLM will utilize and coordinate
the NEPA commenting process to satisfy
the public involvement process for
Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 470f) as
provided for in 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3).
Native American tribal consultations
will be conducted in accordance with
policy, and tribal concerns will be given
due consideration, including impacts on
Indian trust assets. Federal, State, and
local agencies, along with other
stakeholders that may be interested or
affected by the BLM’s decision on this
project are invited to participate in the
scoping process and, if eligible, may
request or be requested by the BLM to
participate as a cooperating agency.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.

Charter Renewal for the National Park
System Advisory Board
Department of the Interior,
National Park Service.
ACTION: Charter Renewal.
AGENCY:
The Secretary of the Interior
intends to renew the charter for the
National Park System Advisory Board,
in accordance with section 14(b) of the
Federal Advisory Committee Act. This
action is necessary and in the public
interest in connection with the
performance of statutory duties imposed
upon the Department of the Interior and
the National Park Service.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Shirley Sears Smith, (202) 354–3955.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board
was established initially by section 3 of
the Act of August 21, 1935 (49 Stat. 667;
16 U.S.C. 463), and has been in
existence almost continuously since
then. Pursuant to Public Law 111–8, the
legislative authorization for the Board
expired January 1, 2010. However, due
to the importance of the issues on which
the Board advises, the Secretary of the
Interior exercised the authority
contained in Section 3 of Public Law
91–383 (16 U.S.C. 1a–2(c)) to reestablish and continue the Board as a
discretionary committee from January 1,
2010, until such time as it may be
legislatively reauthorized. If the Board is
reauthorized legislatively within 2 years
of the date of the renewal charter, the
Board will revert to a legislative Board.
The advice and recommendations
provided by the Board and its
subcommittees fulfill an important need
within the Department of the Interior
and the National Park Service, and it is
necessary to re-establish the Board to
ensure its work is not disrupted. The
Board’s twelve members will be
balanced to represent a cross-section of
disciplines and expertise relevant to the
National Park Service mission. The
renewal of the Board comports with the
requirements of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C.,
Appendix), and follows consultation
with the General Services
Administration.
Certification: I hereby certify that the
renewal of the National Park System
Advisory Board is necessary and in the
public interest in connection with the
performance of duties imposed on the
Department of the Interior by the Act of
August 25, 1916, 16 U.S.C. 1 et seq., and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Respondents answer a series of
questions to the extent necessary for
locating relevant information on Federal
benefits. Responses are used by the
respondent to expedite the
identification and retrieval for sought
after information and resources
pertaining to the benefits sponsored by
the Federal government.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information if the
collection of information does not
display a valid OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The
DOL obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under OMB
Control Number 1290–0003. The current
OMB approval is scheduled to expire on
January 31, 2012; however, it should be
noted that information collections
submitted to the OMB receive a monthto-month extension while they undergo
review. For additional information, see
the related notice published in the
Federal Register on October 5, 2011 (76
FR 61739).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within 30 days of publication of
this notice in the Federal Register. In
order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
reference OMB Control Number 1290–
0003. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
