Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 113 / Friday, June 12, 2015 / Notices
(15 CFR 990.23 and 990.55(c)) and
NEPA regulations (40 CFR 1506.6).
The DOI (represented by the FWS),
the DOC (represented by the NOAA),
the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the
Potawatomi Tribe, the Match-E-BeNash-She-Wish Band of the
Pottawatomi Indians, and the State of
Michigan (the latter acting through
MDEQ, MDNR, and MDAG) are Trustees
for natural resources considered in this
Draft Plan, pursuant to subpart G of the
National Oil and Hazardous Substances
Pollution Contingency Plan (40 CFR
300.600, 300.605, and 300.610) and
Executive Order 12580. The Trustees
followed the NRDAR regulations found
at 15 CFR part 990 and the NEPA
regulations found at 40 CFR parts 1500–
1508 for the development of the Draft
Plan. The Trustees will consider all
public comments received during the
public comment as we proceed to
finalize the Draft Plan. The Draft Plan
will be finalized prior to
implementation of restoration. Any
significant additions or modifications to
the Final Plan that become necessary as
restoration actions proceed will be made
available for public review before any
changes in restoration actions are
undertaken.

Background
The goal of NRDAR under the Oil
Pollution Act of 1990 (33 U.S.C. 2701 et
seq.; OPA) is to make the environment
and public whole for injuries to natural
resources and natural resource services
resulting from incidents involving
discharge or substantial threat of
discharge of oil. This goal is achieved
through returning injured natural
resources and services to baseline and
compensating for interim losses of such
natural resources and services through
the restoration, rehabilitation,
replacement, or acquisition of
equivalent natural resources and/or
services.
Process
In this case, the Trustees worked
together in a cooperative process to
identify appropriate restoration
activities to address natural resource
injuries caused by discharges of oil from
Enbridge’s Line 6B pipeline near
Marshall, Michigan. The results of this
administrative process are contained in
the Draft Plan, which is a planning and
decision document being published for
public review under OPA and NEPA.
The Draft Plan describes the injuries
that occurred as a result of the
discharges of oil, how the Trustees
estimated damages, how those damages
will be addressed through proposed
restoration alternatives, and what the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:05 Jun 11, 2015
Jkt 235001
expected environmental impacts of the
proposed projects would be. By law,
natural resource damages received must
be used to restore, rehabilitate, replace,
and/or acquire the equivalent of those
injured natural resources.
Public Involvement
Interested members of the public are
invited to review and comment on the
Plan. Copies can be requested from the
address and Web site listed above.
Comments on the Draft Plan should be
sent to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (see ADDRESSES). The U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service will provide copies
of all comments to the other Trustees.
All comments received from individuals
become part of the official public
record. Requests for such comments will
be handled in accordance with the
Freedom of Information Act and the
Council on Environmental Quality’s
NEPA regulations (40 CFR 1506.6(f)).
Availability of Public Comments
The Trustees’ practice is to make
comments, including names and home
addresses of respondents, available for
public review during regular business
hours. Before including your address,
phone number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that the
entire comment, including your
personal identifying information, may
be available at any time. While
individual respondents may request that
the Fish and Wildlife Service withhold
their personal identifying information
from public review, we cannot
guarantee we will be able to do so.
Authority
This notice is provided pursuant to
NRDAR regulations (15 CFR 990.23 and
990.55(c)) and NEPA regulations (40
CFR 1506.6).

The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla

CHAPTER 1.
Liquor Code
SECTION 1.01.
Title
This Code shall be the Liquor Code of
the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation (Confederated
Tribes) and shall be referenced as the
Liquor Code.
SECTION 1.02.
Findings And Purpose
A. The introduction, possession, and
sale of liquor on Indian reservations has
historically been recognized as a matter
of special concern to Indian tribes and
to the United States. The control of
liquor on the Umatilla Indian
Reservation remains exclusively subject
to the legislative enactments of the
Confederated Tribes in its exercise of its
PO 00000
Frm 00069
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
33543
governmental powers over the
Reservation, and the United States.
B. Federal law prohibits the
introduction of liquor into Indian
Country (18 U.S.C. 1154), and
authorized tribes to decide when and to
what extent liquor transactions, sales,
possession and service shall be
permitted on their reservation (18 U.S.C.
1161).
C. The Board of Trustees, as the
governing body of the Confederated
Tribes pursuant to Article VI, § 1 of the
Constitution and Bylaws of the
Confederated Tribes, have adopted
Resolutions to permit the sale and
service of liquor at the Wildhorse Resort
& Casino and at Coyote Business Park as
provided in this Code, but at no other
locations.
D. Pursuant to the authority in Article
VI, § 1(a) of the Confederated Tribes’
Constitution, the Board of Trustees has
the authority ‘‘to represent the
[Confederated] Tribes and to negotiate
with the Federal, State and local
governments on projects and legislation
that affect the [Confederated] Tribes’’.
E. Pursuant to the authority in Article
VI, § 1(d) of the Confederated Tribes’
Constitution, the Board of Trustees has
the authority ‘‘to promulgate and
enforce ordinances governing the
conduct of all persons and activities
within the boundaries of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation, providing for the
procedure of the Board of Trustees, and
carrying out any powers herein
conferred upon the Board of Trustees’’.
F. The enactment of this Liquor Code
to govern liquor sales and service on the
Umatilla Indian Reservation will
increase the ability of the Confederated
Tribes to control Reservation liquor
distribution, sales, service and
possession, and at the same time will
provide an important source of revenue
for the continued operation of Tribal
government and the delivery of
governmental services, as well as
provide an amenity to customers of
enterprises of the Confederated Tribes.
G. The Confederated Tribes have
entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with the Oregon
Liquor Control Commission to deal with
governmental issues associated with the
licensing and regulation of liquor sales
on the Umatilla Indian Reservation.
SECTION 1.03. Definitions
A. Unless otherwise required by the
context, the following words and
phrases shall have the designated
meanings.
1. ‘‘Alcohol’’. That substance known
as ethyl alcohol, hydrated oxide or
ethyl, spirits or wine as defined herein,
