SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 7 CFR part 235—State
Administrative Expense Funds.
Form Numbers: FNS–74, FNS–525.
OMB Number: 0584–0067.
Expiration Date: May 31, 2016.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: Section 7 of the Child
Nutrition Act of 1966 (Pub. L. 89–642),
42 U.S.C. 1776, authorizes the
Department to provide Federal funds to
State agencies (SAs) for administering
the Child Nutrition Programs (7 CFR
parts 210, 215, 220, 226 and 250). State
Administrative Expense (SAE) Funds, 7
CFR part 235, sets forth procedures and
recordkeeping requirements for use by
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
SAs in reporting and maintaining
records of their need and use of SAE
funds. A summary of the reporting and
recordkeeping burden associated with
this revision is presented in the table
below. For this revision, the number of
State Agencies was updated (decreased
from 87 to 84) resulting in a decrease of
321 recordkeeping burden hours. The
burden for maintaining accounting
records was adjusted to more accurately
reflect the average frequency of
updating records due to electronic
system processing resulting in a
decrease of 5,564 recordkeeping hours.
The burden of documenting
expenditures of funds from State
sources in any fiscal year for the
administration of CNP is already
accounted for in the quarterly
recordkeeping for the FNS–777;
therefore, the burden for this
recordkeeping requirement has been
decreased by 856 hours. The burden
associated with form FNS–777,
Financial Status Report, was removed
since the burden for this form has been
approved under the information
collection for the Food Program
Reporting System (FPRS), OMB Control
Number 0584–0594, which expires June
30, 2017, resulting in a decrease of 174
reporting hours. The burden associated
with form FNS–525, State
Administrative Expense Funds
Reallocation Report, is proposed for
removal and transfer to the FPRS
information collection to accommodate
electronic reporting of the data resulting
in a transfer of 308 reporting hours.
These revisions result in a net decrease
of 7,223 total burden hours. Revisions to
the update form FNS–74, Federal-State
Agreement, are also being proposed.
The revised FNS–74 form is included in
the Supporting Documents to this notice
on www.regulations.gov.

Forest Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a
supplemental environmental impact
statement.
AGENCY:
The Grand Mesa,
Uncompahgre and Gunnison National
Forests (GMUG) is considering whether
or not to consent to Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) modifying the
Federal Coal Leases COC–1362 and
COC–67232 by adding 800 and 922
acres, respectively, to them. If the
GMUG does consent to lease, it will
prescribe conditions (as stipulations) for
the protection of non-mineral resources.
BLM will, in turn, decide whether or
not to grant lease modifications and will
further decide, if leased, whether or not
to permit on-lease exploration
consistent with lease terms. Subsequent
mine plan modification activities may
be permitted by Office of Surface
Mining Reclamation and Enforcement
(OSM).
Previous GMUG and BLM analyses
and decisions were vacated by U.S.
District Court for Colorado (1:13–cv–
01723–RBJ) on September 11, 2014 for
issues related to econonic analysis on
the agencies’ leasing analysis and BLM’s
exploration analysis of recreation
impacts and a redundant road. A

Statement (EIS) is being prepared to
correct Court-identified deficiencies and
to update analysis, as needed, since the
Final EIS in 2012 and BLM’s
Environmental Assessment (EA) in
2013. The leasing and exploration
analyses will be combined into a single
document for agency and public
convenience.
DATES: Public comments for this project
were received April–May, 2010 during
the preparation of an EA for the lease
modifications, April–May, 2012 on the
Notice of Intent to prepare a Draft EIS,
June–July, 2012 on the Draft EIS and
April–May, 2013 on BLM’s Sunset Trail
Area Coal Exploration Plan
Environmental Assessment. Comments
received during those periods will be
also be considered in this analysis and
those that were submitted in a timely
manner during official comment periods
also qualify for standing in future Forest
Service objection opportunities (36 CFR
218 Subparts A & B) and BLM appeal
periods. These comments have
contributed to the issue analysis and
alternative development. Additionally,
the agency will continue to accept
public comments throughout the
preparation of the Supplemental Draft
EIS, which is estimated to be released in
spring 2016 with an additional formal
comment period following its release.
The Supplemental Final EIS is expected
in summer 2016; however, timing of
Supplemental Final EIS is subject to
reinstatement of the 2012 Colorado
Roadless Rule exception for the North
Fork Coal Mining Area, which is
currently under separate analysis.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be addressed to Grand Mesa,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Purpose and Need for Action
Lease Modifications
Under 43 CFR 3432 (as amended by
the Energy Policy Act of 2005), the
holder of a federal coal lease may apply
to modify a lease by adding up to 960
acres. The federal agencies are
responding to applications to modify
existing leases. The GMUG and BLM
have identified the need to consider
issuing two coal lease modifications for
federal coal lands immediately adjacent
to exiting federal coal leases COC–1362
and COC–67232. The purpose of the
federal agencies’ actions is to facilitate
recovery of federal coal resources in an
environmentally sound manner.
Further, the purpose of the lease
modifications is to ensure that
compliant and super-compliant coal
reserves are recovered and not
bypassed. The proposed action responds
to the federal government’s overall
policy to foster and encourage private
enterprise in the development of
economically sound and stable
industries, to help assure satisfaction of
industrial, security and environmental
needs (Mining and Minerals Policy Act
of 1970).
The BLM, charged with
administration of the mineral estate on
these Federal lands, is required, by law,
to consider leasing Federally-owned
minerals for economic recovery.

Expiration Date: May 31, 2016.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: Section 7 of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (Pub. L. 89-
642), 42 U.S.C. 1776, authorizes the Department to provide Federal
funds to State agencies (SAs) for administering the Child Nutrition
Programs (7 CFR parts 210, 215, 220, 226 and 250). State Administrative
Expense (SAE) Funds, 7 CFR part 235, sets forth procedures and
recordkeeping requirements for use by SAs in reporting and maintaining
records of their need and use of SAE funds. A summary of the reporting
and recordkeeping burden associated with this revision is presented in
the table below. For this revision, the number of State Agencies was
updated (decreased from 87 to 84) resulting in a decrease of 321
recordkeeping burden hours. The burden for maintaining accounting
records was adjusted to more accurately reflect the average frequency
of updating records due to electronic system processing resulting in a
decrease of 5,564 recordkeeping hours. The burden of documenting
expenditures of funds from State sources in any fiscal year for the
administration of CNP is already accounted for in the quarterly
recordkeeping for the FNS-777; therefore, the burden for this
recordkeeping requirement has been decreased by 856 hours. The burden
associated with form FNS-777, Financial Status Report, was removed
since the burden for this form has been approved under the information
collection for the Food Program Reporting System (FPRS), OMB Control
Number 0584-0594, which expires June 30, 2017, resulting in a decrease
of 174 reporting hours. The burden associated with form FNS-525, State
Administrative Expense Funds Reallocation Report, is proposed for
removal and transfer to the FPRS information collection to accommodate
electronic reporting of the data resulting in a transfer of 308
reporting hours. These revisions result in a net decrease of 7,223
total burden hours. Revisions to the update form FNS-74, Federal-State
Agreement, are also being proposed. The revised FNS-74 form is included
in the Supporting Documents to this notice on www.regulations.gov.
