In this information collection, the USGS will ask users questions about the forecast using a variety of graphical representations. This will help identify how different graphics affect how users understand and use aftershock forecast information. The results of this user testing will improve the way the USGS communicates aftershock forecasts to the public. Title of Collection: User testing of graphics for USGS aftershock forecasts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document provides notice that the BLM Nevada State Director intends to prepare an RMP amendment with an associated Environmental Assessment for the Dodge Flat II Solar Energy Center, announces the beginning of the scoping process, and seeks public input on issues and planning criteria. The RMP amendment is being considered to allow the BLM to evaluate the use of approximately 71 acres of public land that are identified as ‘‘exclusion lands’’ in the 2012 ‘‘Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement for Solar Energy Development in Six Southwestern States (Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah)’’ (Solar Programmatic EIS) Record of Decision due to slope criteria. The use of these exclusion lands for solar power generation would require amending the existing 2001 Carson City Field Office Consolidated Resource Management Plan, as amended by the Solar Programmatic EIS Record of Decision. The planning area is located in Washoe County, Nevada, and encompasses approximately 700 acres of public land. The scope of this land use planning process does not include addressing the evaluation or designation of Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACECs), and the BLM is not considering ACEC nominations as part of this process. Purpose and Need The BLM’s purpose for this Federal action is to respond to the right-of-way application submitted under Title V of the FLPMA (43 U.S.C. 1761), and to amend the slope management direction in the 2001 Carson City Field Office E:\FR\FM\19JAN1.SGM 19JAN1
