National Council on the Humanities; Meeting, 7311-7312 [05-2679]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 28 / Friday, February 11, 2005 / Notices at least one existing 8-m (26-ft) or larger telescope are considered in the FEIS. The Gran Telescopio Canarias site at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on La Palma, one of the Canary Islands, Spain meets the criteria to be considered as a reasonable alternative site. If NASA cannot or decides not to implement the Outrigger Telescopes Project at the W.M. Keck Observatory site or at the reasonable alternative site in the Canary Islands, NASA would consider sites where at least the one objective that does not require a large telescope (i.e., detect the astrometric signature of planets as small as Uranus) can be achieved. Such reduced science sites considered in the FEIS include the Mount Wilson Observatory in Los Angeles County, California and the Mount Palomar Observatory in northern San Diego County, California. The FEIS also addresses the No-Action alternative. The FEIS analyzes the potential environmental impacts associated with the on-site construction, installation, and operation of the Outrigger Telescopes at the W.M. Keck Observatory site and the Canary Islands site. The potential environmental impacts at the reduced science sites are also evaluated. Environmental issues emphasized include, but are not necessarily limited to, cultural resources, flora and fauna, sewage and hydrology, hazardous materials, and cumulative impacts. In addition to the locations indicated under ADDRESSES above, the FEIS may be reviewed at: (a) La Canada Flintridge Library, 4545 North Oakwood Avenue, La Canada Flintridge, CA 91011; (b) Pasadena Central Library, 285 E.
