DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Forest Service Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest; Utah; Ogden Travel Plan Project AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. Notice of Intent to prepare a supplement to the final supplemental Environmental Impact Statement. ACTION: The Ogden Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest announces its intent to prepare a supplement to the Ogden Travel Plan Revision Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (FSEIS). The Ogden Travel Plan Revision FSEIS evaluated six alternatives for possible travel management of motorized trails and roads. SUMMARY: Scoping will not be conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 1502.9(c)(4). The draft supplement to the FSEIS is expected in May 2013 and the final supplement to the FSEIS is expected in September 2013. DATES: Send written comments to: Renee Flanagan, Ogden District Ranger, 507 25th Street, Ogden, UT 84401. Comments can also be hand delivered Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the address above. Comments can be submitted electronically to rflanagan@fs.fed.us or submitted via facsimile to (801) 625–5914. ADDRESSES: mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: District Ranger Renee Flanagan, (801) 625–5112, Ogden Ranger District, 507 25th Street, Ogden, Utah 84401.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:53 Jan 11, 2013 Jkt 229001 Proposed Action DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE On March 20, 2006, District Ranger Chip Sibbernsen made a decision designating routes open for motorized travel use, seasonal and other closures, development of two gravel sources, improvements to two concentrated use areas, and new trail construction on the Ogden Ranger District. The decision also allowed limited use of motor vehicles within 150 feet of designated roads to access dispersed camping sites. The record of decision for the project was appealed by four separate parties. After review, the appeal deciding officer reversed the decision, based on her finding that the environmental analysis and supporting information in the project record were not adequate to support the decision in regard to cumulative effects analysis. Subsequent analysis resulted in a FSEIS that did not replace the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) in its entirety, but which replaced discrete sections of the FEIS and provided additional information to augment the analysis in the FEIS. A record of decision for the FSEIS was signed on September 12, 2007. The record of decision was appealed and the decision was affirmed and implemented. As a result of litigation, on March 7, 2012, the United States District Court for the District of Utah issued a decision order. The Court held that the record of decision and FSEIS had three deficiencies: (1) It failed to provide notice of available support for the public to understand the information cataloguing illegal routes; (2) it failed to adequately support its assumptions about the impact of illegal user-created routes; and (3) it failed to explain explicitly its evaluation of the cumulative impacts of its decision on the Shoshone Trail system. As a result, the currently proposed supplement to the FSEIS will be directed to address the deficiencies.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract The Census Bureau plans to request a three-year extension of a currently approved collection for forms C–700, Private Construction Projects; C–700(R), Multifamily Residential Projects; C– 700(SL), State and Local Government Projects; and C–700(F) Federal Government Projects. These forms are used to conduct the Construction Progress Reporting Surveys (CPRS) to collect information on the dollar value of construction put in place by private companies, individuals, private multifamily residential buildings, state and local governments and the Federal government. The Census Bureau is the preeminent collector and provider of timely, relevant and quality data about the people and economy of the United States. The Form C–700, Private Construction Projects, collects construction put in place data for nonresidential projects owned by private companies or individuals. The Form C–700(R), Multifamily Residential Projects, collects construction put in place data for private multifamily residential buildings. The Form C– 700(SL), State and Local Government Projects, collects construction put in place data for state and local government projects. The Form C– 700(F), Federal Government Projects collects construction put in place for federal government projects. PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The Census Bureau uses the information from these surveys to publish the value of construction put in place series. Published estimates are used by a variety of private business and trade associations to estimate the demand for building materials and to schedule production, distribution, and sales efforts. They also provide various government agencies with a tool to evaluate economic policy and to measure progress towards established goals. For example, Bureau of Economic Analysis staff use data to develop the construction components of gross private domestic investment in the gross domestic product. The Federal Reserve Board and the Department of the Treasury use the value in place data to predict the gross domestic product, which is presented to the Board of Governors and has an impact on monetary policy. II. Method of Collection An independent systematic sample of projects is selected each month according to predetermined sample rates. Once a project is selected, it remains in the sample until completion of the project. Preprinted forms are mailed monthly to respondents to fill in current month data and any revisions to previous months. Respondents also have the option to report online using a password protected site. Nonrespondents are later called by a Census interviewer and report data over the phone. Having the information available from a database at the time of the interview greatly helps reduce the time respondents spend on the phone. Interviews are scheduled at the convenience of the respondent, which further reduces their burden. III. Data OMB Control Number: 0607–0153. Form Number: C–700, C–700(R), C– 700(SL), C–700(F). You can obtain information on the proposed content at this Web site: www.census.gov/mcd/clearance. Type of Review: Regular submission. Affected Public: Individuals, Businesses or Other for Profit, Not-forProfit Institutions, Small Businesses or Organizations, State and Local Governments and the Federal Government. Estimated Number of Respondents: C–700 = 4,500 C–700(R) = 2,000 C–700(SL) = 12,500 C–700(F) = 2,000 TOTAL = 21,000 Estimated Time per Response: 5 to 15 minutes per month. E:\FR\FM\14JAN1.SGM 14JAN1
