Main Campus, Hennepin County, MN;
and Request for Written Proposals
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.
SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is
to alert the public to two items. First,
pursuant to section 102(2)(C) of the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C),
the National Park Service (NPS)
announces the availability of the draft
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the disposition of the former Bureau
of Mines Twin Cities Research Center
(Center), located within the boundary of
Mississippi National River and
Recreation Area (MNRRA), a unit of the
NPS, in Hennepin County, Minnesota.
The draft EIS is now available for public
review and comment, and everyone is
invited to comment on the document.
Secondly, the notice is intended to
alert any prospective Government or
university entities that the NPS is
soliciting proposals for use of the
Center. In accordance with the
legislation addressing the Center (Pub.
L. 104–134), only Government and
university entities qualify as possible
recipients of the property. Additionally,
Public Law 106–113 allows the
Secretary to accept financial
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
remuneration for the Center and
distribute the funds to MNRRA and the
national wildlife refuge system for the
benefit of their respective activities in
Minnesota. The Center is Federal land
located within the boundary of the
MNRRA. Accordingly, through today’s
notice, the NPS invites written
proposals from Government and
university entities who may be
interested in acquiring the former
Bureau of Mines property. Verbal
proposals will not be considered.
DATES: There will be a 60-day period for
public review and submission of
comments on the draft EIS following the
publishing of the notice of availability
in the Federal Register by the
Environmental Protection Agency.
Public meetings will be announced in
the local media. Submission of written
proposals from Government and
university entities will be accepted
during this 60-day period.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the draft EIS
(compact disks and a limited number of
paper copies) are available by request by
writing to Superintendent, RE: Former
Bureau of Mines Draft EIS, Mississippi
National River and Recreation Area, 111
Kellogg Boulevard East, Suite no. 105,
St. Paul, Minnesota 55101; by facsimile
651–290–3214; or by phone 651–290–
4160. The document can be picked up
in person at the address above. The
document can also be found on the Web
site in the NPS Planning, Environment,
and Public Comment (PEPC) at: https://
parkplanning.nps.gov/; select the
MNRRA from the drop-down list.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Project Manager, Kim Berns National
Park Service, Mississippi National River
and Recreation Area, 111 Kellogg
Boulevard East, Suite no. 105, St. Paul,
Minnesota 55101, or by calling 651–
290–4160.
Discussion: Each written proposal
from a university or Government entity
must address the following criteria:
1. How do you qualify as a
Government or university entity?
2. What is your capacity to manage
the Center property? Describe any
relevant property management
experience or current property holdings
that are comparable to the Center
property or that demonstrate your
capacity to manage the Center.
3. What are your proposed plans for
future use of the Center?
4. What resources do you have,
including but not limited to personnel,
financing, programs, etc., that would
enable you to manage the Center
property?
5. What plans do you have to protect
the cultural, historic, and environmental
PO 00000
Frm 00063
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
49473
aspects of the Center, including Camp
Coldwater and the spring?
6. Are you willing and able to offer
land or other reimbursement in
exchange for the Center and if so, what
would you offer?
Solicitation by the NPS of written
proposals does not reflect any decision
on the future use of the Center. The NPS
purpose in requesting such proposals is
to assist the Secretary of the Interior in
evaluating all reasonable alternatives for
the disposition of the Center property.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
MNRRA has been designated by
Congress to lead a public planning
process pursuant to NEPA to address
the disposition of the Center. Congress
closed the Center in 1995 and provided
the Secretary of the Interior specific
legislation to convey the Center to a
university or government entity (Pub. L.
104–134). The Center is Federal land
and is located within the boundary of
the MNRRA.
The purpose of the draft EIS is to
consider alternatives for, and potential
impacts of, future uses of this Federal
property on natural, historic, and
cultural resources. The Center is located
within three historic designations: the
Fort Snelling National Historic
Landmark, the Fort Snelling National
Register Historic District, and the
buildings have been determined eligible
for inclusion on the National Register of
Historic Places. The site includes the
Camp Coldwater Spring, the
springhouse, and reservoir.
The draft EIS describes and analyses
three action alternatives and a NoAction Alternative. The draft EIS does
not identify a potential future owner but
explores the impacts associated with
three land-use scenarios that are likely
to result from the transfer of the Center.
The NPS does not have a preferred
alternative at this time and intends to
review any additional information,
public comments, and written proposals
received in response to this request to
identify a preferred alternative in the
final EIS.
Persons wishing to comment on the
draft EIS may do so by any one of
several methods. They may attend the
public meeting that will be announced
as noted above. Comments on the draft
EIS can be made directly through the
PEPC Web site listed above or provided
directly to the NPS at the address above.
Written proposals from a university or
Government entity relating to
acquisition of the property must be
submitted to the aforementioned
address within the 60-day comment
period.
It is the practice of the NPS to make
all comments, including names and
