data matching (which includes
automated data matching) in order to
assist in the detection and prevention of
improper payments. IPERIA further
authorizes such matching agreements to
have a termination date of less than 3
years (Pub. L. 112–248, Section
5(e)(2)(C)(i)). The computer matching
agreement for the planned match will
terminate either when the purpose of
the matching program is accomplished,

effective date of the computer matching
agreement, whichever occurs first.
IPERIA provides that within three
months prior to the expiration of a
matching agreement, the Data Integrity
Boards (DIBs) may renew the matching
agreement for a current, ongoing
matching program for not more than 3
years. (Pub. L. 112–248, Section

conditions are met: (1) Within three
months of the expiration date, all DIBs
review the agreement, find that the
program will be conducted without
change, and find a continued favorable
examination of benefit/cost results; and
(2) All parties certify that the program
has been conducted in compliance with
the computer matching agreement.
The agreement may be terminated,
prior to accomplishment of the
computer matching purpose or less than
36 months from the effective date of the
computer matching agreement,
(whichever occurs first), by the mutual
agreement of all involved parties within
30 days of written notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The USGS is working with the
Federal Advisory Committee on Water
Information (ACWI) and its
Subcommittee on Ground Water
(SOGW) to develop and administer a
National Ground-Water Monitoring
Network (NGWMN). This network is
required as part of Public Law 111–11,
Subtitle F—Secure Water: Section 9507
‘‘Water Data Enhancement by the
United States Geological Survey’’. The
Network will consist of an aggregation
of well data from existing Federal,
Multistate, State, Tribal, and local
groundwater monitoring networks. To
support data providers for the National
Ground-Water Monitoring Network, the
USGS will be providing funding
through cooperative agreements to
water-resource agencies that collect
groundwater data. The USGS will be
soliciting applications for funding that
will request information from the
Agency collecting the data. Elements
will include contact information (phone
number and email address), and a
proposal describing their existing data
collection and a plan to evaluate their
data for incorporation into the NGWMN.
The proposal will be evaluated by the
USGS and the NGWMN Program Board
to appropriate funding. The proposal
will describe the groundwater networks
to be included in the NGWMN, the
purpose of the networks, an estimate of
the number of wells they would submit
for the network, an overview of the
methods they would use to select and
classify wells for the network a
description of data collection
techniques, and information on their
databases. The proposal would also
require estimates of one-time costs to
complete the above tasks and annual
costs to participate in the network.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Las
Vegas and Pahrump Field Offices Draft
RMP/Draft EIS would replace the
existing 1998 Las Vegas Field Office
RMP. The Draft RMP/Draft EIS was
developed through a collaborative
planning process. The Las Vegas and
Pahrump Field Offices Draft RMP/Draft
EIS decision area encompasses
approximately 3.1 million acres of
public land administered by the BLM
Southern Nevada District in Clark and
Southern Nye counties, Nevada. It does
not include private lands, State lands,
Indian reservations, Federal lands not
administered by BLM or lands
addressed in the Red Rock Canyon
National Conservation Area RMP (2005)
and Sloan Canyon National
Conservation Area RMP (2006). The Las
Vegas and Pahrump Field Offices Draft
RMP/Draft EIS includes goals, objectives
and management actions for protecting
and preserving natural resources which
includes air quality, soil and water
resources, vegetation, fish and wildlife,
special status species, wild horses and
burros, wildland fire management,
cultural and paleontological resources,
visual resource values, and lands with
wilderness characteristics. Multiple
resource uses are addressed which
include management and forage
allocations for livestock grazing;
delineation of lands open, closed, or
subject to special stipulations or
mitigation measures for minerals
development; recreation and travel
management designations; management
of lands and realty actions, including
delineation of avoidance and exclusion
areas applicable to rights-of-ways
(ROWs), land tenure adjustments, and
solar and wind energy development.
The planning effort will consider
establishment of a national trail
management corridor for the
congressionally-designated Old Spanish
National Historic Trail. Eligible river
segments will be evaluated for
suitability as components of the
National Wild and Scenic River System
and 23 new Areas of Critical
Environmental Concern (ACECs) are
proposed. The ACECs are proposed to
protect natural and cultural resource
values and traditional Native American
use areas.
Authority: 40 CFR 1506.6, 40 CFR
