ACTION: Withdrawal of Notice of intent
to prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement.
SUMMARY: On May 9, 2006, Federal
Register (Volume 71, Number 89, [Page
26921-26923]), the USDA Forest
Service, Plumas National Forest
announced its intent to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
to eradicate populations of the noxious
weed tall whitetop (Lepidium
Iatifoliuin), along the Middle Fork of the
Feather River. The proposed Federal
action in this EIS was to use a three-step
process to ensure the successful
eradication of tallwhite top. One of the
steps involved the use of herbicides.
The EIS would have evaluated the
environmental effects associated with
these actions and any reasonable
alternatives.
The notice of intent to prepare an EIS
is withdrawn. The Plumas National
Forest will continue the NEPA process
by preparing an Environmental
Assessment to evaluate the
environmental effects of a new proposed
action.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the emergency
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Agency: National
Telecommunications and Information
Administration.
Title: Message Testing Focus Groups
and Interviews for the Digital-to-Analog
Converter Box Program.
OMB Control Number: None.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Emergency
submission.
Number of Respondents: 328.
Average Hours per Response: 90
minutes.
Burden Hours: 492.
Needs and Uses: Congress directed
the National Telecommunications and
Information Administration (NTIA) to
create and implement a program to
provide coupons for consumers to
purchase digital-to-analog converter
boxes. These converter boxes are
necessary for consumers who wish to
continue receiving broadcast
programming over the air using analog-
only television sets after February 17,
2009-the date that television stations
are required by law to cease analog
broadcasting. Since September 2007,
NTIA has been conducting a consumer
education campaign to educate U.S.
residents who receive over-the-air
broadcasts on analog television sets
about the digital television transition
and the TV Converter Box Coupon
Program. While awareness of the
coupon program has been nationally
reported, more than five million
households were completely
unprepared as of February 2009. On
February 11, 2009, the President signed
the DTV Delay Act into law changing
the date by which all full-power
television stations must cease analogbroadcasts to June 12, 2009.
In an effort to help further determine
who the unprepared households are, if
the households have taken any steps to
prepare for the transition, if not why,
and the optimal messages and methods
to communicate with the consumers
who are not ready in the final months
leading up to the transition, NTIA, will
conduct 32 focus groups in ten cities
and a limited number of individual
interviews. This effort would lead in the
development of new messages and
materials to reach these consumers. The
targeted audiences, identified as the
more reliant on over-the-air television,
include the following: (1) Economically
disadvantaged households; (2) rural
residents; (3) minorities; (4) people with
disabilities; and (5) seniors.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: One-time only.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
OMB Desk Officer: Nicholas Fraser,
(202) 395-5887.
Copies of the above information
collection proposal can be obtained by
calling or writing Diana Hynek,
Departmental Paperwork Clearance
Officer, (202) 482-0266, Department of
Commerce, Room 7845, 14th and
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington,
DC 20230 (or via the Internet at
dHynek@doc.gov).
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent by
March 6, 2009 to Nicholas Fraser, OMB
Desk Officer, FAX number (202) 395-
5806, or
Nicholas A. Fraser@omb.eop.gov.
