Abstract: The application is used by
the NHPRC staff to establish the
applicant’s qualifications and to permit
selection of those individuals best
qualified to attend the Institute jointly
sponsored by the NHPRC, the
Wisconsin Historical Society, and the
University of Wisconsin. Selected
applicants’ forms are forwarded to the
resident advisors of the Institute, who
use them to determine what areas of
instruction would be most useful to the
applicants.

Prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement for the Proposed Federated
Indians of the Graton Rancheria

National Indian Gaming

ACTION: Supplemental Notice of Intent
(SNOI).
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In accordance with Section
102(2)(C) of the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) 42 U.S.C. 4321 et
seq., the NIGC, in cooperation with the
Federated Indians of the Graton
Rancheria (the ‘‘Graton Rancheria’’),
intends to gather information necessary

for preparing an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) for a proposed casino
and hotel project to be located in
Sonoma, California. This notice
supplements the Notice of Intent (NOI)
which appeared in the Federal Register
on February 12, 2004 (69 FR 7022 (Feb.
12, 2004)) and advises the public that
the NIGC and BIA intends to gather
further information necessary to prepare
an EIS for a proposed casino and hotel
project to be located in Sonoma County,
California. The purpose of the proposed
action is to help address the socioeconomic needs of the Federated
Indians of Graton Rancheria. The
proposed action is very similar to that
proposed in the February 12, 2004, NOI,
with the exception that the casino and
hotel would be constructed adjacent to
and on the east side of the previously
proposed site. The shift of the proposed
construction site is being considered to
avoid environmental constraints
discovered on the original site,
particularly, to avoid wetlands
identified on the original site.
Additional details of the new proposed
action and location are provided below
in the Supplemental Information
section. The supplemental scoping
process will include notification of and
opportunity for the general public and
Federal, state, local, and tribal agencies
to comment on the new proposed
action. The purpose of scoping is to
identify public and agency concerns on
environmental issues, and alternatives
to be considered in the EIS. All the
information and comments gathered in
response to the earlier NOI remain in
the record, and there is no need to
repeat information submitted at that
time.
DATES: A public scoping meeting will be
held on October 19, 2005 from 6 p.m.
to 8:30 p.m., or until the last public
comment is received. Written comments
on the scope of the EIS should arrive by
November 4, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on the
scope of the EIS should be addressed to:
Brad Mehaffy, NEPA Compliance
Officer, National Indian Gaming
Commission, 1441 L Street, NW., Suite
9100, Washington DC 20005.
Please include your name, return
address, and caption: ‘‘EIS Scoping
Comments, Graton Rancheria Casino
and Hotel Project’’, on the first page of
your written comments. The agency
scoping meeting will be hosted by the
NIGC and the Federated Indians of the
Graton Rancheria. The public scoping
meeting will also be hosted by the NIGC
and the Federated Indians of the Graton
Rancheria. The public scoping meeting
will be held at the Spreckels Performing
