alternatives will be carried forward into
detailed analyses pursuant to NEPA.
We will take the following steps prior
to making a decision regarding any
release of the silvery minnow as
‘‘experimental’’: (1) Compile and
analyze all new biological information
on the species; (2) review and update
the administrative record covering
previous Federal actions for the species;
(3) review the overall approach to the
conservation and recovery of the silvery
minnow in the United States; (4) review
available information that pertains to
the habitat requirements of this species,
including material received during the
public comment period for this notice,
during the scoping meetings, and from
previous rulemakings; (5) review actions
identified in the Recovery Plan (Service
1999); (6) coordinate with State, county,
local, and Federal partners; (7)
coordinate with Mexican authorities; (8)
write a draft EA and present alternatives
to the public for review and comment;
(9) incorporate public input and use
current knowledge of silvery minnow
habitat use and availability to precisely
map the potential experimental
population area; (10) publish a proposed
experimental population rule in the
Federal Register and solicit comments
from the public; (11) finalize the draft
EA; and (12) if we determine it is
prudent to proceed with the
designation, finalize the experimental
population rule, thereby identifying an
experimental population area and
authorizing the release of the silvery
minnow as an experimental population
in Texas.
We are the lead Federal agency for
compliance with NEPA for this action.
Thus far, the National Park Service and
the International Boundary and Water
Commission, United States Section,
have agreed to be cooperating agencies
in the NEPA process. The draft EA will
incorporate public concerns in the
analysis of impacts associated with the
proposed action and associated project
alternatives. The draft EA will be sent
out for a minimum 30-day public review
period, during which time comments
will be solicited on the adequacy of the
document. The final EA will address the
comments we receive during public
review and will be furnished to all who
commented on the draft EA, and made
available to anyone who requests a
copy. This notice is provided pursuant
to regulations for implementing NEPA
(40 CFR 1506.6).
