recovery of the spotted owl by the
timely development of a long-term
barred owl management strategy. For
this reason, the Service believes this
SHA would advance the recovery of the
spotted owl.
National Environmental Policy Act
Compliance
The Service’s entering into the
proposed SHA and issuance of a permit
is a Federal action that triggers the need
for compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.)
(NEPA). We have prepared a draft EA to
analyze the impacts of this proposed
action on the human environment in
comparison to the no-action alternative.

Public Comments
You may submit comments and
materials by one of the methods listed
in the ADDRESSES section. We request
data, new information, or suggestions
from the public, other concerned
governmental agencies, Tribes, the
scientific community, industry, or any
other interested party on our proposed
Federal action. In particular, we request
information and comments regarding
the following issues:
1. The direct, indirect, and
cumulative effects that implementation
of the SHA could have on endangered
and threatened species;
2. Other reasonable alternatives
consistent with the purpose of the
proposed SHA as described above, and
their associated effects;
3. Measures that would minimize and
mitigate potentially adverse effects of
the proposed action;
4. Identification of any impacts on the
human environment that should have
been analyzed in the draft EA pursuant
to NEPA;
5. Other plans or projects that might
be relevant to this action;
6. The proposed term of the permit
and whether the proposed SHA would
provide a net conservation benefit to the
spotted owl; and
7. Any other information pertinent to
evaluating the effects of the proposed
action on the human environment.
Public Availability of Comments
All comments and materials we
receive become part of the public record
associated with this action. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personally
identifiable information in your
comments, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personally identifiable information—
may be made publicly available at any
time. While you can ask us in your

VerDate Sep<11>2014

comment to withhold your personally
identifiable information from public
review, we cannot guarantee that we
will be able to do so. All submissions
from organizations or businesses, and
from individuals identifying themselves
as representatives or officials of
organizations or businesses, will be
made available for public disclosure in
their entirety. Comments and materials
we receive, as well as supporting
documentation we used in preparing the
draft EA, will be available for public
inspection by appointment, during
normal business hours, at our Oregon
Fish and Wildlife Office (see
ADDRESSES).
Next Steps
We will evaluate the draft SHA,
associated documents, and any public
comments we receive to determine
whether the permit application and the
EA meet the requirements of section
10(a) of the ESA and NEPA, and their
respective implementing regulations.
We will also evaluate whether issuance
of a permit would comply with section
7(a)(2) of the ESA by conducting an
intra-Service section 7 consultation on
the proposed permit action. If we
determine that all requirements are met,
we will sign the proposed SHA and
issue a permit under section 10(a)(1)(A)
of the ESA to the Roseburg Resources
Co., for take of the northern spotted owl
caused by covered activities in
accordance with the terms of the permit
and the SHA. We will not make our
final decision until after the end of the
30-day public comment period, and
until we fully consider all comments
and information we receive during the
public comment period.
Authority
We provide this notice pursuant to
section 10(c) of the ESA, its
implementing regulations (50 CFR
17.22), and NEPA and its implementing
regulations (40 CFR 1506.6).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
The National Geospatial Program
(NGP) of the U.S. Geological Survey
(USGS) contributes funding for the
collection of geospatial data which
increases the development of The
National Map and other national
geospatial databases. NGP will accept
applications from Private Industry,
state, local or tribal Governments to
supplement current data collection
programs in order to fulfill the growing

and present need for current and
accurate geospatial data. Awarded
projects must complete brief monthly
progress reports and a final technical
report at the end of the project period.
All application instructions and forms
are available on Grants.gov (http://
www.grants.gov). All reports will be
accepted electronically via email.
II. Data
OMB Control Number: 1028–0092.
Form Number: N/A.
Title: The National Map: Topographic
Data Grants Program.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved information
collection.
Respondent Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
Frequency of Collection: Annually
and monthly.
Description of Respondents: State,
Local, Tribal Government; and Private
Industry.
Estimated Total Number of Annual
Responses: We estimate 280 responses
will be covered under this collection
that includes the initial responses, the
monthly, and final reports from the
awarded. 75 of these reports will come
from Private Industry and 205 reports
from State, Local and Tribal
Governments.
Estimated Time per Response: The
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) foresees
61 hours of time will be needed to
complete the necessary submissions
which will include the narrative and
supporting documentation. We believe
that reading the requirements as well as
development, proposal writing,
reviewing and submission of the
proposal application via Grants.gov will
require 61 hours per applicant. Monthly
and final project reports must be
submitted by the award recipient. The
prior month’s progress must be
submitted within the report 7 days
following the start of the new month.
The monthly report will take at least 1
hour to prepare. The final report must
be submitted within 90 calendar days of
the end of the project period. USGS
estimates that approximately 20 hours
will be needed to complete the final
report.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours:
When calculating the total number of
hours that will be used including State,
local, tribal and private respondents
3060 hours will be needed.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: There are no ‘‘non-hour cost’’
burdens associated with this collection
of information.
Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA
(44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an

published a 81 Federal Register Notice
25690/Friday, April 29, 2016. Notices
announcing that we would submit this
ICR to OMB for approval and soliciting
comments. The comment period closed
on 6/28/2016. We received no
