additional terms and conditions of
Federal helium sales that necessitate
new information collection activities:
• Parties to a helium storage contract
with the BLM must disclose on a strictly
confidential basis:
(1) The volumes and associated prices
in dollars per thousand cubic feet (Mcf)
in purchase and sales transactions made
pursuant to any agreement entered into
or renegotiated agreement during the
preceding 1-year period in the United
States involving at least 15 million
standard cubic feet of crude or pure
helium;
(2) Refinery operational capacity,
future operational capacity, and excess
refining capacity in Mcf; and
• Refiners of crude helium that enter
into ‘‘tolling agreements’’ must submit a
Tolling Occurrence Report to the BLM
whenever they enter into such tolling
agreements. (‘‘Tolling agreements’’
refers to the helium industry’s practice
of processing or refining another party’s
helium at an agreed upon price. While
refiners can purchase, access, and refine
their own helium, non-refiners rely
upon the refiners to process and refine
the helium that they have purchased—
this process is called tolling.)
Frequency of Collection: Quarterly for
the Refined Helium Deliveries Detail;
annually for the Calculation of Excess
Refining Capacity and Refiners’ Annual
Tolling Report; and ‘‘on occasion’’ for
the Refiners’ Tolling Occurrence Report.

National Park Service, Interior.
Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The National Park Service
announces the availability of a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the Scorpion Pier Replacement on
Santa Cruz Island, Channel Islands
National Park. The Draft EIS analyzes
the potential consequences of three
alternatives: The No Action Alternative;
Alternative 1, which would replace the
existing pier in the same location and
make road improvements; and
Alternative 2, which would construct
the new replacement pier south of the
existing location and make minor road
improvements. The Draft EIS also
proposes mitigation measures to
minimize the adverse impacts from pier
construction or utilization. Road
improvements would be more extensive
under Alternative 1.
DATES: All comments on the Draft EIS
must be postmarked or transmitted not
later than 60 days after the date the
Environmental Protection Agency
publishes notice of filing and release of
the EIS in the Federal Register. The
National Park Service will hold one
public meeting during the comment

period—the date, time, and location of
the meeting will be announced on
https://parkplanning.nps.gov/chis, via
local and regional press media, and will
also be available by contacting Channel
Islands National Park.
ADDRESSES: Regularly updated project
information will be available for public
review and comment online through the
NPS Planning, Environment & Public
Comment Web site at https://
parkplanning.nps.gov.chis, and in the
office of the Superintendent, Channel
Islands National Park, 1901 Spinnaker
Dr., Ventura, CA 93001. You may
submit comments by one of two
methods: Mail or hand-deliver
comments to Channel Islands National
Park, Attn: DEIS—Scorpion Pier
Replacement (address above), or you
may transmit comments electronically
via the Web site noted above. 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.

Russell Galipeau, Superintendent,
Channel Islands National Park, 1901

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Channel
Islands National Park includes five
remote islands spanning 2,228 square
miles of land and sea. Santa Cruz Island,
Scorpion Anchorage, is the most visited
destination within the Park. The
existing pier needs to be replaced in
order to improve safety and
accessibility, allowing all visitors to
move safely from vessels to the pier, and
providing easy access to the adjacent
shoreline, the historic Scorpion Ranch
and visitor center, restrooms,
orientation displays, campground, and
hiking trails.
The need for the Project is driven by
the following factors: (1) Scorpion Pier
should provide safe access to Santa Cruz
Island. The existing pier is deteriorating
and does not meet NPS requirements for
administrative use or safe visitor access.
The access road to the current location
also requires frequent rebuilding. The
current height of the pier cannot
sufficiently accommodate high and low
tides; as such, vessel operators have
difficulty docking without
compromising risk to individuals,

vessels, and the pier itself. The
embarkation process requires passengers
to climb—one person at a time, often
while carrying a backpack—a single
ladder that is not compliant with
standards for accessibility.
(2) Scorpion Pier should facilitate
efficient access to Santa Cruz Island that
accommodates visitor demand. The
existing pier and access road
significantly weaken the efficiency of
NPS operations. The one-person ladder
needed for embarkation, for example,
lengthens the entire boarding process
and increases visitor exposure to
adverse weather conditions. The narrow
width of the pier also causes delays
because it cannot simultaneously
accommodate visitors and large cargo
(i.e., maintenance vehicles); as such,
passenger embarkation must occur
separately from many maintenance
activities. Additionally, the lack of
adequate armoring in the area increases
the need for regular and expensive
repairs to the eroding access road.
Improvement of the pier and access road
is necessary to meet current and future
visitor demands.
(3) Scorpion Pier and the access
roadway should be operated in a
manner that protects sensitive
resources. The access road is extremely
susceptible to harsh weather conditions,
and is often washed out by Scorpion
Creek when it floods. Maintenance of
the existing pier access road currently
requires repairing and re-grading several
times per year due to wave and storm
erosion. As a result of these grounddisturbing activities, sensitive
archaeological resources may be
threatened. Ongoing re-construction can
also impact the environment through air
emissions, erosion, and possible
pollutants to waterways and sensitive
habitats.
(4) Scorpion Pier should provide
access to Santa Cruz Island in
consideration of predicted sea level rise.
The predicted rise in sea level must be
considered in the new pier design.
Current predictions range from 0.33 foot
to 1.1 foot by the year 2050, and 0.74
foot to 3.2 feet by 2100. Anticipated sea
level rise has implications for the new
pier design, as well as for the dynamics
of Scorpion Creek during large storm
events.
Accordingly, the range of alternatives
which have been developed will fulfill
the following key project objectives:
• Improve visitor experience.
• Improve the pier while protecting
marine and terrestrial environments and
archeological resources.
• Improve access for NPS and
concessioner boats.
