Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 115 / Wednesday, June 16, 2010 / Notices

through the end of the period prescribed
in individual certifications. After the
end of that transition period, entities
seeking certification to NFPA 1600 must
use the 2010 version.
Subsequent versions of the two
remaining standards and other
standards DHS may adopt will operate
on cycles that may not be uniform. DHS
will review subsequent versions of
already adopted standards for
conformity to the target criteria and
suitability for the program.
C. Discussion of Comments Received in
Response to the Oct. 2009 Notice of
Intent
DHS received a total of 122 comments
in response to the October 2009 Federal
Register Notice. Of that number, 100
comments were made in regard to the
intention of DHS to adopt the three
identified standards. The remaining
comments concerned some other aspect
of the PS–Prep Program and will be
dealt with in future communications on
relevant aspects of the PS–Prep
Program.
The vast majority of comments related
to three the standards supported DHS
adoption of one or more of the
standards. The largest number of
comments stating any opposition to the
adoption of any of the three identified
standards related to BS 25999. Those
comments were based on the fact that
the British Standards Institution, under
the auspices of which the standard was
developed, was not a United States
entity. That is a fact; however, DHS
believes that the standard is
comprehensive, meets the PS–Prep
Target criteria, and satisfies the needs of
the PS–Prep Program. Research by DHS
indicates that several United States
corporations have implemented or are
implementing BS 25999. DHS further
believes that the national identity of the
standard setting organization is not
inherently relevant to the viability of
any candidate PS–Prep standard and, as
indicated, has adopted BS 25999.
IV. Next Steps

sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES

A. Initiation of the PS–Prep Certification
Process
Once the standards are announced,
the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI)—American Society for
Quality (ASQ) National Accreditation
Board (ANAB), the PS–Prep accrediting
body, will finalize its process for
accrediting third party certifying entities
for the PS–Prep Program. Upon that
finalization, DHS expects that
preparation and accreditation of
certifying entities will take an
additional two to four months. DHS will

announce the initiation of the
availability of the PS–Prep Program
certification process on the PS–Prep
Program Web site.
B. Critical Infrastructure and Key
Resources (CIKR) Sector-Specific Issues
DHS has made clear that it does not
intend that the PS–Prep Program will
create a need for a duplication of
requirements for entities that wish to
participate. DHS will attempt to identify
regulations, guidelines, or sector codes
of practice that meet portions of adopted
standards and that could form the basis
for compliance with PS–Prep adopted
standards. To this end, the DHS Office
of Infrastructure Protection (IP) will
collaborate with the CIKR sectors and
their respective Sector Coordinating
Councils to identify such existing sector
activities. IP will work with the
individual CIKR sectors to develop a
framework containing the identified
sector-specific considerations and
activities that may be used in the
PS–Prep certification processes.
V. Small Business Consideration
In 6 U.S.C. 321m(b)(2)(D), DHS is
required to ‘‘establish separate
classifications and methods of
certification for small business
concerns.’’ The definition of ‘‘small
business concerns’’ is that of the Small
Business Act at 15 U.S.C. 632. Both
previous PS–Prep Federal Register
Notices have contained extensive
discussions of the DHS approach to best
reflect the interests of small businesses,
minimize any burden associated with
certification for the PS–Prep Program,
and achieve the purposes of the PS–
Prep Program. DHS continues to seek
comments from the public and,
particularly, small businesses on
specific tools and means for certification
of small business under the PS–Prep
Program.

BLM’s submission of the information
collection requests to OMB.
The following information is provided
for the information collection:
Title: Tramroads and Logging Roads
(43 CFR part 2810).
Form: Form OR 2812–6, Report of
Road Use.
OMB Control Number: 1004–0168.
Summary: This collection of
information pertains to rights-of-way on
public lands that were returned to the
United States after being conveyed for
construction of the Oregon & California
Railroad. On these lands in western
Oregon, the BLM Oregon State Office
has authority under the Act of August
28, 1937 (43 U.S.C. 1181a and 1181b)
and Subchapter V of the Federal Land
Policy and Management Act (43 U.S.C.
1761–1771) to grant rights-of-way to
private landowners to transport their
timber over BLM-controlled roads. Each
right-of-way permit issued under these
two authorities requires the permittee to
provide the BLM with a certified
statement disclosing the amount of
timber removed, the lands from which
the timber was removed, and the BLM
roads used to transport the timber.
Permittees must submit this information
on a quarterly basis using Form OR
2812–6, Report of Road Use.
The BLM uses this information to
calculate road use fees, as authorized at
Section 502 the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act (43 U.S.C. 1762). If we
did not require the collection of
information, it would not be possible to
monitor compliance with the terms and
conditions of the permits described
above, and road costs would not be
collected in a timely manner.
Frequency of Collection: Quarterly.
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: Approximately 68 holders
of rights-of-way for use of BLMcontrolled roads in western Oregon.
Currently Approved Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: The
currently approved annual reporting
burden is 272 responses and 2,176
hours.
Currently Approved Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: $0.
The Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an
agency may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. Until OMB approves a
collection of information, you are not
obligated to respond.
The BLM will summarize all
responses to this notice and include
them in the request for OMB approval.
All comments will become a matter of
public record. Before including your

Background
The 7,021-acre Modoc National
Wildlife Refuge is located southeast of
Alturas, California. The Refuge was
established in 1960 under the Migratory
Bird Conservation Act (16 U.S.C. 715d)
and the Refuge Recreation Act (16
U.S.C. 460k–460 K.4). Lands within the
Refuge have been set aside for use as an
inviolate sanctuary, and other
management purposes, for migratory
birds, for incidental fish and wildlifeoriented recreational development, for
the protection of natural resources, and
for the conservation of endangered
species or threatened species.
Located near the confluence of the
north and south forks of the Pit River,
the Refuge conserves, protects, and
manages a mosaic of freshwater lakes
and ponds, seasonal wetlands, irrigated
meadows, grasslands, and sagebrush/
juniper upland habitats. These habitats
provide important resting, feeding, and
nesting areas for ducks, geese, and other
migratory birds, including the greater
sandhill crane.
We announce our decision and the
availability of the FONSI for the final
CCP in accordance with National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (40
CFR 1506.6(b)) requirements. We
completed a thorough analysis of
impacts on the human environment,
which we included in the EA that
accompanied the draft CCP.
The National Wildlife Refuge System
Administration Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C.
668dd–668ee) (Administration Act), as
amended by the National Wildlife
Refuge System Improvement Act of
1997, requires us to develop a CCP for
each national wildlife refuge. The
purpose for developing a CCP is to
provide refuge managers with a 15-year
plan for achieving refuge purposes and
contributing toward the mission of the
National Wildlife Refuge System,
consistent with sound principles of fish
and wildlife management, conservation,
legal mandates, and our policies. In
addition to outlining broad management
direction on conserving wildlife and
their habitats, CCPs identify wildlifedependent recreational opportunities
available to the public, including
opportunities for hunting, fishing,
wildlife observation and photography,
and environmental education and
