Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 88 / Monday, May 7, 2018 / Notices comments, of the following collection of information on September 7, 2017, 82 FR 42356. daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES Comments Invited In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The ICR documentation will be available at https://www.reginfo.gov upon its submission to OMB. Therefore, in preparation for OMB review and approval of the following information collection, TSA is soliciting comments to— (1) Evaluate whether the proposed information requirement is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden; (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including using appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Consistent with the requirements of Executive Order (E.O.) 13771, Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs, and E.O. 13777, Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda, TSA is also requesting comments on the extent to which this request for information could be modified to reduce the burden on respondents. Information Collection Requirement Title: Airport Security Part 1542. Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection. OMB Control Number: 1652–0002. Forms(s): NA. Affected Public: Airport operators. Abstract: The information collection is used to determine compliance with 49 CFR part 1542 and to ensure passenger safety and security by monitoring airport operator security procedures. The following information collections and other recordkeeping requirements with which respondent covered airport operators must comply fall under this OMB control number: (1) Development of an Airport Security Program (ASP) and submission to TSA; (2) as applicable, development of airport operator requested or TSA-required ASP amendments, submission to TSA, and implementation; (3) collection of data necessary to complete a criminal history VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:38 May 04, 2018 Jkt 244001 records check (CHRC) for those individuals with unescorted access authority to a Security Identification Display Area (SIDA); (4) submission to TSA of identifying information about individuals to whom the airport operator has issued identification media, such as name, address, and country of birth, in order for TSA to conduct a Security Threat Assessment (STA); (5) information collection and recordkeeping requirements associated with airport operator compliance with Security Directives (SDs) issued pursuant to the regulation; and (6) watch list matching of individuals subject to TSA’s regulatory requirements against government watch lists. TSA is revising this information collection by modifying the type of information collected.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Introduction The U.S. Department of the Interior (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) and the State of Missouri (Missouri Department of Natural Resources) are natural resource trustees (Trustees) for natural resources and services injured by hazardous substances at the Tri-State Mining District (TSMD) site, located in southwest Missouri. The Trustees have prepared a Draft Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment (Draft RP/ EA) to restore injured natural resources and services at the TSMD site pursuant to both the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act natural resource damages assessment and restoration (NRDAR) regulations at 43 CFR part 11 and the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), and its implementing regulations at 40 CFR parts 1500–1508. NEPA requires Federal agencies to conduct environmental reviews of proposed actions to consider the potential impacts on the environment. Draft Restoration Plan Alternatives Consistent with the U.S. Department of the Interior NRDAR regulations and E:\FR\FM\07MYN1.SGM 07MYN1 20088 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 88 / Monday, May 7, 2018 / Notices NEPA, the Trustees evaluated a suite of five alternatives for conducting the type and scale of restoration sufficient to compensate the public for natural resource injuries and service losses. Based on selection factors, including location, technical feasibility, cost effectiveness, provision of natural resource services similar to those lost due to contamination, and net environmental consequences, the Trustees have identified a preferred alternative. Under this preferred alternative, the Trustees would use a combination of biosolids, manure, and woody material to return soil fertility to areas where remedial work removed mine waste and contaminated soil, leaving behind degraded soils and residual metals. Following application of soil amendments, native seed would be applied to the landscape in an attempt to restore prairie habitat and associated natural resource services. Prescribed fire, mowing, and other weed management techniques would be used to maintain desirable habitat conditions. Conservation easements would be placed on restoration parcels, and areas would be managed for wildlife habitat and limited recreation. Public Comments Comments are specifically requested regarding the alternatives, proposed restoration techniques and projects, scope of analysis, and assessment of impacts. Please see the ADDRESSES section for how to submit information. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Introduction

    The U.S. Department of the Interior (U.S. Fish and Wildlife 
Service) and the State of Missouri (Missouri Department of Natural 
Resources) are natural resource trustees (Trustees) for natural 
resources and services injured by hazardous substances at the Tri-State 
Mining District (TSMD) site, located in southwest Missouri. The 
Trustees have prepared a Draft Restoration Plan and Environmental 
Assessment (Draft RP/EA) to restore injured natural resources and 
services at the TSMD site pursuant to both the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act natural resource 
damages assessment and restoration (NRDAR) regulations at 43 CFR part 
11 and the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA; 
42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), and its implementing regulations at 40 CFR 
parts 1500-1508. NEPA requires Federal agencies to conduct 
environmental reviews of proposed actions to consider the potential 
impacts on the environment.

Draft Restoration Plan Alternatives

    Consistent with the U.S. Department of the Interior NRDAR 
regulations and

selection factors, including location, technical feasibility, cost 
effectiveness, provision of natural resource services similar to those 
lost due to contamination, and net environmental consequences, the 
Trustees have identified a preferred alternative. Under this preferred 
alternative, the Trustees would use a combination of biosolids, manure, 
and woody material to return soil fertility to areas where remedial 
work removed mine waste and contaminated soil, leaving behind degraded 
soils and residual metals. Following application of soil amendments, 
native seed would be applied to the landscape in an attempt to restore 
prairie habitat and associated natural resource services. Prescribed 
fire, mowing, and other weed management techniques would be used to 
maintain desirable habitat conditions. Conservation easements would be 
placed on restoration parcels, and areas would be managed for wildlife 
habitat and limited recreation.
