SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 7
CFR Part 210, National School Lunch

Form Number: FNS–13.
OMB Number: 0584–0075.
Expiration Date: 2/28/2014.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: FNS uses the Annual Report
of State Revenue Matching, Form FNS–
13, to collect data on State revenue
matching to meet the reporting required
by 7 CFR 210.17(g). The Food and
Nutrition Service administers the
National School Lunch Program, the
School Breakfast Program, and the
Special Milk Program as mandated by
the Richard B. Russell National School
Lunch Act (NSLA), as amended (42
U.S.C. 1751, et seq.), and the Child

Nutrition Act of 1966, as amended (42
U.S.C. 1771, et seq.). Information on
school program operations is collected
from State agencies on a yearly basis to
monitor and make adjustments to State
agency funding requirements. As
provided in 7 CFR 210.17, each school
year, State revenues must be
appropriated or used specifically by the
State for Federal school lunch program
purposes. The amount that must be
appropriated or used generally is at least
30% of the funds received by the State
under Section 4 of the NSLA (42 U.S.C.
1753) during the school year beginning
July 1, 1980, unless exemptions or
waivers are met, as described in 7 CFR
210.17. The form is an intrinsic part of
the accounting system currently being
used by the subject programs to ensure
proper reimbursement as well as to
facilitate adequate recordkeeping. The
FNS–13 form is provided to States
through a web-based Federal reporting
system and, 100 percent of the
information is collected through
electronic means. There are no changes
required for the instructions on FNS–13.
However, this revision made significant
program adjustment to reporting burden
hours as a result of automation and the
advancement of State systems
technology. The response time
(estimated average number of hours per
response) is decreased from the
previously approved 80 hours to 8 hours
and hence the total number of burden
hours is reduced from 4,560 to 456
hours.

Beaverhead-Deerlodge National
Forest, Montana; Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National
Forest Land and Resource
Management Plan To Comply With a
District of Montana Court Order
(Temporary Roads)
AGENCY:
Forest Service, USDA.
Notice of intent to prepare a
supplemental environmental impact
statement.
ACTION:
The Beaverhead-Deerlodge
National Forest will prepare a
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (SEIS) to the 2009
Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest
Land and Resource Management Plan
(Forest Plan) environmental analysis in
response to a May 24, 2013 Order from
the U.S. District Court for the District of
Montana. The Court directed the Forest
Service to ‘‘. . . supplement its EIS for
the Forest Plan to explain or support, if
possible, its decision to exclude
temporary roads from the road density
objectives . . . .’’ The supplement will
address the Forest Plan Goal for Wildlife
Security and density of roads and trails
open to motorized use displayed in
Tables 13 and 14 on pages 45–47 of the
Forest Plan.

SUMMARY:

Purpose and Need for Action
The Forest Plan provides management
direction for activities on the
Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest
for the next 10 to 15 years, including
direction on eight revision topics
(vegetation, wildlife, aquatic resources,
recreation and travel management, fire
management, livestock grazing, timber
and recommended wilderness). In 2012,
Native Ecosystems Council and Alliance
for the Wild Rockies filed a complaint
in U.S. District Court for the District of
Montana (case 9:12–cv–00027–DLC)
alleging the Forest Plan failed to ensure
elk viability because the Forest Service
did not disclose and consider the best
available science in its analysis of road
density. In a May 24, 2013 Order, the
U.S. District Court for the District of
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Montana found the Forest Service ‘‘. . .
complied with the general requirements
of the 1982 viability regulation for elk
and adequately disclosed the science
upon which it relied to determine
appropriate road density levels for areas
with different management goals. . . .
However, the Forest Service did not
explain or support its decision to
exclude temporary roads from the road
density objectives.’’ Therefore, there is a
need to evaluate the effects of temporary
roads to comply with the court’s order.
Proposed Action
We are uncertain if there is a need to
change management direction in the
Forest Plan. A determination will be
made based upon the analysis of the
effects of temporary road construction
and use. The Draft SEIS may or may not
propose an amendment to the Forest
Plan.
We expect to have a Draft SEIS
available for public review and
comment in February, 2014. The
comment period for the Draft SEIS will
be 90 days from the date the
Environmental Protection Agency
publishes the notice of availability in
the Federal Register. We believe, at this
early stage, it is important to give
reviewers notice of several court rulings
related to public participation in the
environmental review process. First,
reviewers of draft environmental impact
statements must structure their
participation in the environmental
review of the proposal so that it is
meaningful and alerts an agency to the
reviewer’s position and contentions.
Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp. v.
E:\FR\FM\09SEN1.SGM
09SEN1
EN09SE13.001</GPH>
Scoping is not required for
supplements to environmental impact
statements (40 CFR 1502.9(c)(4)).
Review and comments will be solicited
once the Draft SEIS is filed with EPA.
The Draft SEIS is expected in February,
2014.
ADDRESSES: The line officer responsible
for the decision is the BeaverheadDeerlodge National Forest Supervisor,
420 Barrett Street, Dillon, MT 59725.
