SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Refuge was established in 1987
primarily to protect and manage
wintering habitat for Aleutian Canada
geese, a federally listed endangered
species. Since that time, the Refuge’s
focus has expanded to include
protecting other sensitive species and
restoring natural habitats and ecological
processes. This Refuge and its
management have been important
factors in the recovery of the Aleutian
Canada goose and its removal in 2001
from the Threatened and Endangered
Species List. The Refuge is located just
west of Modesto, California.
The Draft CCP and Environmental
Assessment (EA) were available for a 30-
day public review and comment period,
which was announced via several
methods including press releases;
updates to constituents; and in the
Federal Register (71 FR 120, June 22,
2006). The Draft CCP/EA identified and
evaluated four alternatives for managing
the Refuge for the next 15 years.
Alternative A was the no-action
alternative which described current
Refuge management activities.
Alternative B placed greater emphasis
on wetland restoration and management
and would expand visitor services for
all priority public uses, including
fishing and hunting. Alternative C
focused on restoration and management
of riparian habitats and providing non-
consumptive wildlife-dependant
recreation opportunities. Alternative D,
(the selected alternative) includes a
balance of wetland and riparian
restoration and management and
expands opportunities for all priority
public uses, including fishing and
hunting.
The Service received seven comment
letters on the Draft CCP and EA during
the review period. The comments
received were incorporated into the
CCP, when possible, and are responded
to in an appendix to the CCP. In the
FONSI, Alternative D was selected for
implementation and is the basis for the
CCP. The FONSI documents the
decision of the Service and is based on
PO 00000 Frm 00066 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703
the information and analysis contained
in the EA.
Under the selected alternative, the
Service will manage the east unit of the
Refuge primarily for Aleutian Canada
geese and other migratory birds. In
addition, the Service will restore both
wetland and riparian habitats in
proportions similar to their perceived
occurrence before the land was used for
agricultural purposes. Under the
selected alternative, 1,457 wetland acres
and 3,224 acres of riparian habitat will
be restored or enhanced. Fishing and
hunting will be permitted on the Refuge
subject to State and Federal laws. Off-
Refuge environmental education
opportunities will include school and
community presentations. Cultural
resources on the Refuge will be assessed
and preserved according to regulatory
requirements.
The selected alternative best meets
the Refuge’s purposes, vision and goals;
contributes to the Refuge System
mission; addresses the significant issues
and relevant mandates; and is consistent
with principles of sound fish and
wildlife management.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (i.e., employer) burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and continuing information collection
requirements in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program
ensures that information is in the
desired format, reporting burden (time
and costs) is minimal, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et
seq.) authorizes information collection
by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the Act
or for developing information regarding
the causes and prevention of
occupational injuries, illnesses, and
accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act
also requires that OSHA obtain such
information with minimum burden
upon employers, especially those
operating small businesses, and to
reduce to the maximum extent feasible
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
Paragraph (b)(3) of the Standard
specifies that containers and systems
have nameplates if required, and that
these nameplates ‘‘be permanently
attached to the system (as specified by
paragraph (b)(3)(ii)(j)) so as to be readily
accessible for inspection * * * .’’ In
addition, this paragraph requires that
markings on containers and systems
covered by paragraphs (c) (‘‘Systems
utilizing stationary, nonrefrigerated
storage containers’’), (f) (‘‘Tank motor
vehicles for the transportation of
ammonia’’), (g) (‘‘Systems mounted on
farm vehicles other than for the
application of ammonia’’), and (h)
(‘‘Systems mounted on farm vehicles for
the application of ammonia’’) provide
information regarding nine specific
characteristics of the containers and
systems. Similarly, paragraph (b)(4) of
the Standard specifies that refrigerated
containers be marked with a nameplate
on the outer covering in an accessible
place which provides information
regarding eight specific characteristics
of the container.
The required markings ensure that
employers use only properly designed
and tested containers and systems to
store anhydrous ammonia, thereby
preventing accidental release of, and
exposure of employees to, this highly
toxic and corrosive substance. In
PO 00000 Frm 00067 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\16AUN1.SGM
addition, these requirements provide
the most efficient means for an OSHA
compliance officer to ensure that the
containers and systems are safe.
II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
• Whether the proposed information
collection requirements are necessary
for the proper performance of the
Agency’s functions, including whether
the information is useful;
• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of
the burden (time and costs) of the
information collection requirements,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• The quality, utility, and clarity of
the information collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden on
employers who must comply; for
example, by using automated or other
technological information collection
and transmission techniques.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Standard on the Storage and Handling
of Anhydrous Ammonia (29 CFR
1910.111). The Agency is requesting to
retain its current burden hour estimate
associated with this Standard at 345
hours. The Agency will summarize the
comments submitted in response to this
notice and will include this summary in
the request to OMB.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Storage and Handling of
Anhydrous Ammonia Standard (29 CFR
1910.111(b)(3) and (b)(4)).
OMB Number: 1218–0208.
Affected Public: Farms.
Number of Respondents: 2,030.
Frequency: On occasion.
Average Time Per Response: 10
minutes (.17 hour) for an employee to
replace or revise markings on ammonia
containers.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 345.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Office of
National Drug Control Policy
Reauthorization Act of 2006, Public Law
109–469, section 707(c), the Director,
National Drug Control Policy is
establishing regulations under which
interested coalitions of law enforcement
agencies from an area may petition for
designation as a high intensity drug
trafficking area.
Public Comment: On June 4, 2007
(Volume 72, Number 106, Notices Page
30862–30864), the Executive Office of
the President, Office of National Drug
Control published Notice of its intent to
issue this regulation. A 60-day public
comment period was established. The
June 4 Notice stated that any written
comments must be received by ONDCP
via electronic mail or facsimile on or
before August 3, 2007. In addition, an
ONDCP staff point of contact was listed
to provide additional information as
appropriate. ONDCP did not receive any
comments. Therefore, ONDCP is issuing
this Notice of the agency’s intent to
publish a regulation identical to the
document published on June 4, 2007.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Anti-
Drug Abuse Act of 1988, the ONDCP
Reauthorization Act of 1998, and the
ONDCP Reauthorization Act of 2006
authorize the Director of the Office of
National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP)
to designate areas within the United
States that exhibit serious drug
trafficking problems and harmful impact
of other areas of the country as High
Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas
(HIDTA). The HIDTA Program provides
federal resources to those areas to help
eliminate or reduce drug trafficking and
its harmful consequences. Law
enforcement organizations within
HIDTAs assess drug trafficking
problems and design specific initiatives
to reduce or eliminate the production,
manufacture, transportation,
distribution, and use of illegal drugs and
money laundering.
When designating a new HIDTA or
adding counties to existing HIDTAs, the
Director of ONDCP consults with the
Attorney General, Secretary of
Homeland Security, Secretary of
Treasury, heads of national drug control
agencies, and the appropriate governors,
and considers the extent to which—
(1) The area is a significant center of
illegal drug production, manufacturing,
importation, or distribution;
(2) State, local, and tribal law
enforcement agencies have committed
resources to respond to the drug
trafficking problem in the area, thereby
indicating a determination to respond
aggressively to the problem;
(3) Drug-related activities in the area
are having a significant harmful impact
