Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 133 / Wednesday, July 13, 2005 / Notices
In order to further publicize this
planning effort, a public announcement
was made to State and Federal agencies
by letter and to local landowners
through local newspapers to announce
the change in project purpose.
NRCS scheduled an interdisciplinary,
interagency team to work with the
Sponsor, landowners, and other
interested groups. The team was
compiled of specialists from F&WS,
EPD, CES, and DNR, along with local
operators. The team worked in the
watershed area and downstream to
Harris Reservoir, to gain insight to the
magnitude of the problems and possible
solutions. Several meetings, group
discussions, and interviews were held
with local planners, individuals,
government officials and other technical
experts. Evaluations and alternative
solutions were developed with the
Sponsor and other officials. The
Recommended Plan was agreed upon.
Another public meeting was on March
30, 2004. The results of surveys, studies,
field investigations and the Alternatives
Plans were presented to the public. The
Selected Plan was agreed upon by those
in attendance.
In early 2003, representatives of the
NRCS, F&WS, DNR, EPD, and CES made
a field inspection to determine the
quality and quantity of resources that
would be impacted by selected practices
and to consider possible mitigation
measures. It was the consensus of the
group that an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) was not needed for this
project. This agreement was based on
the type of practices and systems
planned and that each would be
installed on previously disturbed land.
With this consensus, an Environmental
Assessment (EA) was prepared
accordingly.
Upon review of the Big Cedar Creek
Watershed Plan-EA, this Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) was
prepared. These documents are being
distributed to all concerned agencies,
groups, and interested individuals. A
Notice of Availability of the FONSI is
being published in the Federal Register.
Agency consolations and public
participation to date has shown no
conflicts with the implementation of the
selected plan.
Conclusion
The Environmental Assessment
summarized above indicates that this
Federal action will not cause significant
adverse local, regional, or national
impacts on the environment. Therefore,
based on the above findings, I have
determined that an environmental
impact statement for the recommended

ACTION: Initial notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Rural BusinessCooperative Service (RBS) announces
the availability of a yet undetermined
amount of funding in competitive
cooperative agreement funds allocated
from USDA Rural Development’s fiscal
year (FY) 2005 salaries and expense
budget. A separate notice will be
published when the funding level has
been determined. RBS hereby requests
proposals from 1890 Land Grant
Universities and Tuskegee University
(1890 Institutions) for competitively
awarded cooperative agreements for
projects that support USDA Rural
Development’s goals and objectives of
providing technical assistance for
business creation in economically
challenged rural communities, for
educational programs to develop and
improve upon the professional skills of
rural entrepreneurs, and for outreach
and promotion of USDA Rural
Development’s programs in small rural
communities with the greatest economic
need. Project proposals must be
designed to overcome currently
identified economic problems and lead
to sustainable economic development.
Project proposals that address both
traditional and nontraditional business
enterprises are encouraged. This
initiative seeks to create a working
partnership between USDA Rural
Development and the 1890 Institutions
through cooperative agreements. A
cooperative agreement requires
substantial involvement of the
government agency in carrying out the
objectives of the project.
Cooperative agreements will be
awarded to the project proposals
receiving the highest scores as
determined by a peer review panel of
USDA employees knowledgeable of the
subject matter. Awards will be made to
