The variability is related to differences
in the size and scope of the areas
covered by these plans, the number of
entities involved in developing them,
and the complexity of the conservation
issues involving a given species. We
estimate the public reporting burden for
the information collection covered by
this renewal to average 2,000 hours for
developing one agreement with the
intent to preclude a listing (one-time
burden). We further estimate 600 hours
for annual monitoring under one
agreement, and 120 hours for one
annual report, for a total of 720 hours
annually for monitoring and reporting
per agreement. We estimate that
monitoring and reporting will occur for
seven agreements annually. Based on
our estimate of four plans prepared per
year and seven plans for which
monitoring and reporting will occur per
year, the total annual burden is
estimated at 13,040 hours.
We again invite comments on this
information collection renewal on: (1)
Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of our management
functions involving PECE, including
whether or not the information will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
our estimate of the burden of the
collection of information; (3) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and
(4) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents. The information
collections in this program are part of a
system of records covered by the
Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552(a)).

the proposed lease and development of
an industrial park of up to 142 acres of
land held in trust by the United States
for the benefit of the Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Indian
Reservation (CTUIR) in Umatilla
County, Oregon, and that the DEIS is
now available for public review. The
purpose of the proposed project, the
Coyote Business Park, is to help meet
economic development needs on the
Umatilla Indian Reservation. This notice
also announces a hearing for the public
to provide comments on the DEIS.
DATES: Written comments on the DEIS
must arrive by January 30, 2006. The
public hearing will be held January 19,
2006, starting at 7 p.m.
ADDRESSES: You may mail written
comments to Jerry L. Lauer, Acting
Superintendent, Bureau of Indian
Affairs, Umatilla Agency, P.O. Box 520,
Pendleton, Oregon, 97801; or hand carry
written comments to Mr. Lauer at the
Umatilla Agency, 46807 B Street,
Mission, Oregon.
The public meeting will be held at the
Tamastslikt Cultural Institute, 72789
Highway 331, Pendleton, OR 97801.
To obtain a copy of the DEIS, please

L. Lauer, (541) 278–3786.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DEIS,
prepared with the cooperation of the
Bonneville Power Administration (BPA)
and CTUIR, analyzes the impacts of the
proposed leasing of Indian trust land for
the purpose of constructing and
managing a light industrial and
commercial business park. The
proposed Coyote Business Park would
be situated on 142 contiguous acres of
a 520 acre parcel of trust land located
south of Interstate 84 at Exit 216 and
west of South Market Road,
approximately 7 miles east of
Pendleton, Oregon, on the Umatilla
Indian Reservation.
The proposed action is to construct
infrastructure for the business park,
including domestic water service,
sanitary sewer service, storm water
drainage, roads, and utilities to lots
which would be leased by the CTUIR to
PO 00000
Frm 00086
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
individual business owners for the
construction of light industrial and/or
commercial facilities. The CTUIR may
also construct such facilities for lease to
private operators. Anticipated light
industrial operations include
warehouses or distribution facilities and
assembly of previously manufactured
components.
Water under the proposed action
would be supplied to the business park
from the Mission Water System.
Wastewater would be handled by
connection to the Mission Wastewater
Collection System, which is treated
through a cooperative agreement by the
city of Pendleton. Storm water drainage
would be retained on-site. Access to the
site would be from South Market Road,
which would be improved to an
industrial standard and provided with a
dedicated right hand turn lane into the
site. Commercial utilities would be
provided through extensions of existing
services which are located either
adjacent to, or within one-fourth mile of
the site. Support structures would also
be replaced on the high-voltage BPA
transmission line that crosses the site.
Potential impacts to Patawa Creek as
well as nearby residences have been
considered in the design of the business
Park. Mitigation includes a storm water
drainage collection system that isolates
storm water from Patawa Creek; creation
of a Riparian Management Zone along
Patawa Creek to establish native
vegetation and reduce sedimentation
and erosion; incorporation of best
management practices to reduce impacts
to groundwater; incorporation of
landscaping and night lighting design to
reduce visual impact and night light
pollution; and construction of a new
bridge across Patawa Creek to provide
access to the Oregon Department of
Transportation’s gravel shed and the
Tribal Environmental Recovery Facility,
thus eliminating the need for the
existing gravel road to these facilities.
The DEIS analyzes the proposed
action (Alternative E), the no action
alternative (A) and three other action
alternatives (B, C, and D). The proposed
action is the preferred alternative. The
action alternatives differ primarily in:
(1) The size (21–142 acres) of the
proposed business park; (2) whether
domestic water would be provided
through the drilling of a new well or
through the extension of an existing
community water system; and (3)
whether sanitary sewer service would
be provided by installation of septic
tanks and drain fields or by connection
to an existing municipal sewer system.
Public participation has occurred
throughout the development of this
DEIS. The Notice of Intent was

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DEIS, prepared with the cooperation of
the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) and CTUIR, analyzes the
impacts of the proposed leasing of Indian trust land for the purpose of
constructing and managing a light industrial and commercial business
park. The proposed Coyote Business Park would be situated on 142
contiguous acres of a 520 acre parcel of trust land located south of
Interstate 84 at Exit 216 and west of South Market Road, approximately
7 miles east of Pendleton, Oregon, on the Umatilla Indian Reservation.
The proposed action is to construct infrastructure for the business
park, including domestic water service, sanitary sewer service, storm
water drainage, roads, and utilities to lots which would be leased by
the CTUIR to individual business owners for the construction of light
industrial and/or commercial facilities. The CTUIR may also construct
such facilities for lease to private operators. Anticipated light
industrial operations include warehouses or distribution facilities and
assembly of previously manufactured components.
Water under the proposed action would be supplied to the business
park from the Mission Water System. Wastewater would be handled by
connection to the Mission Wastewater Collection System, which is
treated through a cooperative agreement by the city of Pendleton. Storm
water drainage would be retained on-site. Access to the site would be
from South Market Road, which would be improved to an industrial
standard and provided with a dedicated right hand turn lane into the
site. Commercial utilities would be provided through extensions of
existing services which are located either adjacent to, or within one-
fourth mile of the site. Support structures would also be replaced on
the high-voltage BPA transmission line that crosses the site.
Potential impacts to Patawa Creek as well as nearby residences have
been considered in the design of the business Park. Mitigation includes
a storm water drainage collection system that isolates storm water from
Patawa Creek; creation of a Riparian Management Zone along Patawa Creek
to establish native vegetation and reduce sedimentation and erosion;
incorporation of best management practices to reduce impacts to
groundwater; incorporation of landscaping and night lighting design to
reduce visual impact and night light pollution; and construction of a
new bridge across Patawa Creek to provide access to the Oregon
