acres in the northwestern portion of the
Placer Pod. To facilitate construction,
on-going maintenance and emergency
access, a bridge crossing Middle
Boulder Creek and two road segments
would be constructed to connect Hessie
Road (north of Middle Boulder Creek) to
the proposed Placer Express bottom
terminal site. The bridge would be gated
year-round and restricted to
administrative use.
2. Additional Back Side Terrain—
Construct three new traditional trails
(two Intermediate and one Expert ability
level trail), a new gladed area (Bryan
Glades II), and an addition to the Salto
Glades on the back side of the resort.
New terrain in this area would provide
approximately 20 acres of new
traditional terrain and approximately 30
acres of gladed terrain projects.
3. Trail Widening—Widen Lower
Diamondback and Lower Ambush trails
on the back side of Eldora to improve
skier circulation.
4. Jolly Jug Lift and Trails—Install a
new four or six-person chairlift and
construct seven new Intermediate trails
(approximately 55 acres of terrain) and
approximately 20 acres of Intermediate
ability level glades. A Forest Plan
amendment would be required to adjust
the SUP boundary to include
approximately 17 acres of the southern
portion of the Jolly Jug Pod.
5. Snowmaking—Expand
snowmaking coverage to include all
new traditional trails (not in any of the
gladed areas) totaling approximately 105
acres.
6. Roads and Utilities—Build new
road spurs and install utilities to
construct and maintain the following
proposed lifts and facilities: Placer
Express Lift, Jolly Jug Express Lift,
Challenge Lift, The Lookout Facility,
and Challenge Mountain Facility.
Construction and maintenance access
for the proposed Jolly Jug Express
bottom terminal would utilize an
existing road. The existing snowmaking
infrastructure would deliver drinking
water to The Lookout and Challenge
Mountain facilities, as is the current
method for The Lookout Facility. Onsite septic systems would accommodate
sewage deposal for the proposed
Lookout Facility and Challenge
Mountain Facility.
7. Corona Lift—Remove the existing
four-person Corona Lift and replace
with an upgraded six-person chairlift.
8. Challenge and Cannonball Lifts—
Remove the existing Challenge and
Cannonball lifts and replace with a
single, upgraded six-person chairlift in
an alignment that provides direct out-ofbase access to the summit of Challenge
Mountain.

10. The Challenge Mountain
Facility—Construct a new
approximately 850 seat guest services
facility, between 16,000 and 20,000
square feet in size, at the summit of
Challenge Mountain.
11. Parking—Construct additional
guest parking on private lands. This
project component is not subject to ARP
authorization.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Federal Crop Insurance Program
Delivery Cost Survey and Interview.
OMB Number: 0563—NEW.
Expiration Date of Approval: Three
years from approval date.
Type of Request: New information
collection.
Abstract: The Risk Management
Agency (RMA), through the Federal
Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC),
provides crop insurance to American
agricultural producers through
cooperative financial assistance
agreements with private-sector
insurance companies (known as
Approved Insurance Providers, or AIPs)
who sell and service the policies. The
insurance companies who sell and
service FCIC policies are reimbursed for
their administrative and operating
(A&O) expenses directly by RMA on
behalf of the policyholders. The amount
of the A&O expense reimbursement paid
to these companies has been an issue of
legislative interest by Congress, an audit
target for program oversight bodies, and
a primary focus of recent negotiations
between the companies and RMA.
Congress directed the Government
Accountability Office (GAO) to conduct
a review of crop insurance delivery

Jkt 226001

costs, and in April 2009, GAO released
Report GAO–09–445, ‘‘Crop Insurance:
Opportunities Exist to Reduce the Costs
of Administering the Program.’’ Among
GAO’s recommendations was that RMA
conduct a ‘‘study of the costs associated
with selling and servicing crop
insurance policies to establish a
standard method for assessing agencies’
reasonable costs in selling and servicing
policies.’’ RMA agreed with this
recommendation and is therefore
conducting a study to determine the
reasonable and necessary economic
costs of selling and servicing Federal
crop insurance policies. The
information collection efforts (i.e.,
interviews and surveys) that are being
announced herein will be an important
part of the study. Specifically, RMA
plans to conduct interviews with AIPs,
insurance agents and insured farmers,
and surveys to both insurance agents
and insured farmers.
Interviews
The purpose of the interviews with
AIPs and insurance agents is to
understand the activities performed and
types of costs incurred by the AIPs and
insurance agents to deliver Federal crop
insurance. The purpose of the
interviews with insured farmers is to
gain a good understanding of the
interactions between the insurance
agents and insured farmers and the level
of agent services required by farmers to
make an informed insurance choice.
Information obtained from the
interviews with different stakeholders
(AIPs, insurance agents and insured
farmers) will help RMA understand the
expenses AIPs incur in delivering the
Federal crop insurance and such
information will be used to help design
the survey instruments and determine
the type of data that needs to be
collected from the insurance agents and
insured farmers.
Surveys
The purpose of the survey of the
insurance agents is to collect relevant
cost data incurred by the insurance
agents in selling and servicing the
Federal crop insurance policies. In order
to determine the cost incurred by the
insurance agents, information on the
time insurance agents spend on each
task required for selling and servicing
the Federal crop insurance (including
the insurance agents’ out of pocket
expenses for support staff and travel)
will be gathered from the survey.
General background information on the
surveyed insurance agents, e.g.
geographical region, types of crop
insurance sold, and number of crop
insurance policies sold, will also be

Frm 00006

collected. A parallel survey of the
insured farmers to whom the sampled
insurance agents sell crop insurance
will be conducted to determine the level
of service (e.g. number of insurance
agent visits, educational services, and
other services) that is necessary for the
farmers to make an informed decision.

OMB Control Number: None.
Form Number(s): NA.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(request for a new information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 400.
Average Hours per Response: 20
minutes.
Burden Hours: 133.
Needs and Uses: The United States
(U.S.) Coral Reef Task Force (USCRTF)
was established in 1998 by Executive
Order 13089 to lead and coordinate U.S.
efforts to address the threats facing coral
reefs. The Hawaii Coral Reef Working
Group (CRWG), composed of key state
and federal partners involved in coral
reef management, was established
through a local charter to provide
guidance to the State of Hawaii’s coral
program and to prioritize sites to
implement specific ridge-to-reef
management activities. Priority sites are
areas where coral reef ecosystems of
high biological value are threatened but
have strong potential for improvement
with management intervention. The
current two priority sites in Hawaii are
South Kohala on the Big Island
(Pelekane Bay-Puako-Anaeho‘omalu
Bay, Hawai‘i) and West Maui
(Ka‘anapali-Kahekili, Maui). At both
sites, multiple partners are collaborating
to produce conservation action plans to
conserve resources and human uses.
The Human Dimensions Research
Program at NOAA Fisheries Pacific
Islands Fisheries Science Center is
initiating a survey to support
development of these conservation
action plans, including management
actions in watersheds and in the coral
reef ecosystems in the two priority sites.
The purpose of this survey is to identify
resident users’ knowledge, attitudes,
and perceptions regarding coral reef and
watershed conditions and alternative
management strategies to protect
resources at the two priority sites.
Information from this survey is
needed to inform the conservation
action planning process initiated by the
State of Hawaii Department of Land and
Natural Resources (DLNR), Division of
Aquatic Resources (HDAR) and The
Nature Conservancy (TNC) at the South
Kohala site and to inform conservation
and watershed planning being
implemented by HDAR, The U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, and other partners
at the West Maui site. Managers have
indicated a more immediate need for
information at the South Kohala site;
therefore, we will conduct the survey
there first and the survey at West Maui
afterwards. The information gained from
the survey will provide priority site

managers with essential information
about the population of resident users
who can both threaten reef health and
play a key role in stewardship of reef
resources. Conservation planners will
gain information about the threats and
status of coral reefs from the resident
users who interact most with those
systems, and help managers identify
topics for public outreach and
education. A representative study of
resident users’ knowledge, attitudes,
and perceptions will supplement
broader public input into the
conservation planning processes at the
sites.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: One time.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
