targeted to an activity or program listed
below, please check ‘These data are not
available in my state.’ ’’
To ensure that the State Survey
obtains the necessary data while
minimizing the burden on the states,
SAMHSA has conducted a lengthy and
comprehensive planning process. It has
sought advice from key stakeholders (as
mandated by the STOP Act) including
hosting an all-day stakeholders meeting,
conducting two field tests with state
officials likely to be responsible for
completing the State Survey, and
investigating and testing various State
Survey formats, online delivery systems,
and data collection methodologies.
Based on these investigations,
SAMHSA collects the required data
using an online survey data collection
platform (SurveyMonkey). Links to the
four sections of the survey are
distributed to states via email. The State
Survey is sent to each state governor’s
office and the Office of the Mayor of the
District of Columbia. Based on the
experience from the last four years of
administering the State Survey, it is
anticipated that the state governors will
designate staff from state agencies that
have access to the requested data
(typically state Alcohol Beverage
Control [ABC] agencies and state
Substance Abuse Program agencies).
SAMHSA provides both telephone and
electronic technical support to state
agency staff and emphasizes that the
states are only expected to provide data
that is readily available and are not
required to provide data that has not
already been collected. The burden
estimate below takes into account these
assumptions.
The estimated annual response
burden to collect this information is as

To Prepare an Environmental
Assessment or an Environmental
Impact Statement on a Proposed
Right-of-Way Permit Application for
Pipelines Crossing the Refuge
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of intent; request for
comments.
AGENCY:
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), are in the
process of considering an application
from Praxair, Inc. (Praxair) for a right-ofway (ROW) permit to construct, operate,
and maintain two pipelines within an
existing maintained pipeline corridor
crossing the Brazoria National Wildlife
Refuge (NWR) in Brazoria County,
Texas. The Service requests comments
on environmental issues and announces
the opening of the scoping process,
which will inform the decision to
prepare either an environmental
assessment (EA) or environmental
impact statement (EIS) pursuant to the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) of 1969, as amended. This
notice provides an opportunity for input
from other Federal and State agencies,
local government, Native American
Tribes, nongovernmental organizations,
the public, and other interested parties
on the scope of the NEPA analysis,
pertinent issues which should be
addressed, and the alternatives to be
analyzed.
DATES: To ensure consideration of
written comments on the issues and
possible alternatives to be addressed in
the documents, they must be received
no later than July 16, 2015.
ADDRESSES: Comments, questions, and
requests for further information may be
submitted by U.S. mail to Project
Leader, Texas Mid-coast NWR Complex,
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 2547

SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00090
Fmt 4703
We are in
the process of considering an
application from Praxair, Inc. (Praxair)
for a right-of-way (ROW) permit to
construct, operate, and maintain a 24inch carbon steel pipeline for transport
of nitrogen, and a 14-inch carbon steel
pipeline for transport of hydrogen,
within an existing maintained 4.25-mile
pipeline corridor crossing the Brazoria
National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) in
Brazoria County, Texas. We request
comments on environmental issues and
announce the opening of the scoping
process, which will inform our decision
to prepare either an environmental
assessment (EA) or environmental
impact statement (EIS) pursuant to the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) of 1969, as amended, in
conjunction with preparation of a plan
of operations for the proposed new
pipelines. The decision to initially
prepare an EA or EIS will be, in part,
contingent on the complexity of issues
identified during, and following, the
scoping phase of the NEPA process.
This notice provides an opportunity
for input from other Federal and State
agencies, local government, Native
American Tribes, nongovernmental
organizations, the public, and other
interested parties on the scope of the
NEPA analysis, pertinent issues which
should be addressed, and the
alternatives to be analyzed. The NEPA
document will include an analysis of
environmental consequences of the
proposed action and alternatives,
including direct and indirect impacts, as
well as an assessment of the overall
cumulative effects resulting from the
incremental impact of the proposed
action when added to other past,
present, and reasonably foreseeable
future actions. The NEPA document
will also include proposed measures for
avoiding or minimizing adverse impacts
to refuge resources during construction
and operations, as well as a proposal for
compensatory mitigation for
replacement of lost habitat values
through land conservation and
protection as part of the NWR. We will
use this NEPA document in our
decision-making process to determine
whether the proposed new pipelines are
an appropriate and compatible use of
lands in the National Wildlife Refuge
System (NWRS), as well as whether
processing of the application for a
Pipeline ROW Permit should proceed to
the next step. The public will also have
a chance to review and comment on the
draft EA or EIS when it is available (a
notice of availability will be published
in the Federal Register).
