the Kerr Project in drought conditions.
The NEPA process will allow the
Secretary of the Interior to issue a
Record of Decision selecting an
alternative regarding a drought
management plan. Issues addressed in
the environmental analysis include, but
are not limited to, hydroelectric power
production, recreation, tourism,
irrigation, treaty-protected fisheries,
biological resources, wildlife habitat,
and Indian traditional and cultural
properties and resources. Alternatives to
the proposed drought management plan
examined in the EIS include a variety of
measures, such as adjustments to flood
control rule curves, implementation of
advanced climate prediction initiatives,
and deviation from minimum instream
flow requirements. The range of
environmental issues and alternatives
was developed through comments
received during the scoping process,
including the public scoping meetings
and workshops held in Montana.

SUMMARY: Notice is given that that the
western boundary of Fire Island
National Seashore is revised to include
Tract No. 17–04 as depicted on map
number 615/81,487 prepared by the
National Park Service in October 2005.

SUMMARY: The National Park Service
(NPS) is terminating preparation of an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the General Management Plan,
Hovenweep National Monument,
Colorado and Utah. A Notice of Intent
to prepare the EIS for the Hovenweep
National Monument General
Management Plan was published in Vol.

Federal Register (2351). The National
Park Service has since determined that
an Environmental Assessment (EA)
rather than an EIS is the appropriate
environmental documentation for the
general management plan.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
general management plan will establish
the overall direction for the national
monument, setting broad management
goals for managing the area over the
next 15 to 20 years. The plan was
originally scoped as an EIS. However,
few public comments were received in
the scoping process. Although some
concerns were expressed during the
public scoping process, particularly on
the potential for impacts related to
energy exploration in areas adjacent to
the national monument, no issues were
identified for the general management
plan that have the potential for
controversial impacts.
In the general management planning
process the NPS planning team
developed two alternatives for the
national monument, neither of which
would result in substantial changes in
the operation and management of the
monument. As the park does not have
a general management plan,
management under the no-action
alternative would continue existing
operations with no changes in
interpretation, resource protection
strategies, or facility development. The
action alternative would focus on
maintaining and protecting resources,
addressing park maintenance/operations
needs and developing a maintenance
facility within previously disturbed
areas. The preliminary impact analysis
of the alternatives revealed no major
(significant) effects on the human
environment or impairment of park
resources and values. Most of the
impacts to the national monument’s
resources and values were negligible to
minor in magnitude.
For these reasons the NPS determined
the appropriate National Environmental
Policy Act documentation for the
general management plan is an
environmental assessment.
DATES: The draft general management
plan/environmental assessment is
expected to be distributed for a 30 day
public comment period in the fall of
2006 and a decision is expected be
made in the fall of 2006. The NPS will
notify the public by mail, Web site, and
other means, and will include
information on where and how to obtain
a copy of the EA, how to comment on
the EA, and the length of the public
comment period.

Notice of Public Comment Period for
Proposed Second Amendment to
Consent Decree Under the Clean Air
Act
Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby
given that, for a period of 30 days, the
United States will receive public
comments on a proposed Second
Amendment to Consent Decree in
United States and the States of
Colorado, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and
Montana v. Conoco, Inc. (Civil action
No. H–01–4430), which was lodged
with the United States District Court for
the District of Minnesota on July 12,
2006.
This is a proposed Second Addendum
to Consent Decree in this national,
multi-facility Clean Air Act (‘‘Act’’)
enforcement action against Conoco Inc.
(now ‘‘ConocoPhillips’’). The original
settlement, covering four refineries, was
entered by the Court on April 30, 2002,
to address claims under Section 113(b)
of the Clean Air Act (‘‘CAA’’), 42 U.S.C.
7413(b) (1983), amended by, 42 U.S.C.
7413(b) (Supp. 1991), as part of our
Petroleum Refinery Initiative. The
Consent Decree was first amended on
August 1, 2003, to reflect the sale of the
Denver refinery to Suncor Energy
(U.S.A.) Inc. (‘‘Suncor’’). Suncor
remains a party to the global settlement
and has assumed responsibility for
implementing the Consent Decree
requirements at the Denver refinery.
This proposed Second Amendment,
which affects both ConocoPhillips and
Suncor, accomplishes the following: (1)
Modifies the fluid catalytic cracking
unit (‘‘FCCU’’) catalyst additive
programs at all refineries; (2) establishes
interim and final emission limits for
FCCUs at the Ponca City, Oklahoma,
refinery; (3) allows for alternative
technologies for nitrogen oxide (‘‘NOX)
controls on FCCUs; and (4) includes
adjusted compliance dates resulting
from the impact of Hurricanes Katrina
and Rita.’’
The Department of Justice will receive
for a period of thirty (30) days from the
date of this publication comments
relating to the Second Amendment to
