3501–3521) and OMB regulations at 5
CFR part 1320 provide that an agency

Until OMB approves a collection of

respond. In order to obtain and renew
an OMB control number, Federal
agencies are required to seek public
comment on information collection and
recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR

41057), and the comment period ended
September 14, 2015. The BLM received
no comments. The BLM now requests
comments on the following subjects:
1. Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
functioning of the BLM, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. The accuracy of the BLM’s estimate
of the burden of collecting the
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
3. The quality, utility and clarity of
the information to be collected; and
4. How to minimize the information
collection burden on those who are to

Notice of termination of

AGENCY:
ACTION:
The National Park Service
(NPS) is terminating preparation of an
environmental impact statement (EIS)
for the modification/removal of the
Canal Diversion Dam (Dam) in
Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio
(CUVA). Instead, the NPS will be
preparing an environmental assessment
(EA) to assist the NPS in determining
how best to bring the Cuyahoga River
within the boundaries of CUVA into
attainment with the Clean Water Act
and to allow for its recreational use by
the public.

Information will be
available at Cuyahoga Valley National
Park headquarters located at 15610
Vaughn Road, Brecksville, Ohio 44141;
telephone (330) 657–2752. Information
will also be available at the NPS
Planning, Environment and Public
Comment (PEPC) Web site at https://

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Superintendent Craig Kenkel at the
address above; or by telephone at the

available at the NPS Planning,

parkplanning.nps.gov/cuva.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Dam
is owned by the Ohio Department of
Natural Resources and supplies water to
a portion of the Ohio and Erie Canal
National Historic Landmark. The
Cuyahoga River upstream of the Dam
does not meet aquatic community goals
set forth in Ohio’s Water Quality
Standards. The Lower Cuyahoga River
Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)
report, as well as previous water quality
surveys, has indicated that a cause of
nonattainment of the standards is the
Dam. The TMDL report recommends
that the Dam be modified or removed to
restore water quality in the Cuyahoga
River upstream of the structure. Public
and stakeholder scoping regarding

modification or removal of the Dam was
initiated by the Ohio Environmental
Protection Agency in August 2002. It
was unclear at that time whether the
proposed modification or removal of the
Dam would involve NPS lands or
adversely affect NPS resources. The NPS
determined in 2009 that the State of
Ohio alternatives for the proposal to
modify or remove the Canal Diversion
Dam would impact NPS resources,
require access to NPS lands, or require
NPS funds. Accordingly, the NPS
decided to prepare the EIS, and the
Ohio Department of Natural Resources
and the Ohio Environmental Protection
Agency agreed to be cooperating
agencies. A Notice of Intent to Prepare
the EIS was published in the Federal
Register on July 24, 2009.
Following extensive internal review
and interagency consultation over the
last six years, preliminary analysis of
the alternatives indicates there is no
potential for significant impacts to NPS
resources and values and no concerns or
issues were expressed during the public
scoping process that would have the
potential for highly controversial
impacts. Therefore, NPS intends to
terminate the EIS and prepare an
environmental assessment to develop
and analyze alternatives that satisfy the
project purpose and need. The Ohio
