ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: SUMMARY: This notice advises the public that the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) intends to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) instead of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed operations and maintenance of the Flathead Indian Irrigation Project upon transfer. This notice also announces a public comment period. The purpose of this notice and public comment period is to obtain additional suggestions and information from other agencies and the public regarding BIA’s intention to prepare an EA instead of an EIS. Because the BIA has already held public meetings to satisfy scoping requirements for preparation of an EIS, and the subject matter of the EA is identical, at this time, the BIA does not intend to hold additional public meetings. However, if the need for additional public meetings becomes evident through public comment or otherwise, the BIA will hold additional public meetings. Comments on the implementation of this proposal must be received before November 13, 2006. DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00094 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Mail or hand deliver written comments to Mr. Travis Teegarden, Project Manager, Branch of Irrigation, Power, and Safety of Dams, Natural Resources Division, Office of Trust Services, Bureau of Indian Affairs, 490 N. 31st Street, Suite 203, Billings, MT 59101. You may also fax comments to Mr. Travis Teegarden at (406) 657–5988. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Travis Teegarden, (406) 657–5987. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Flathead Indian Irrigation Project (Project) is located on the Flathead Indian Reservation in northwestern Montana. The Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) is required to transfer the operations and management of the Project as provided by the Act of May 29, 1908, Public Law 60–156, 35 Stat. 441 (the 1908 Act) and the Act of May 25, 1948, Public Law 80–554, 62 Stat. 269 (the 1948 Act). In 1904, the Flathead Indian Allotment Act authorized allotments of land within the Flathead Indian Reservation to members of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (Tribes) and construction of the Flathead Indian Irrigation Project for ‘‘the benefit of Indians’’ on the Flathead Indian Reservation (33 Stat. 302). When this Act was amended in 1908, it also authorized the construction of irrigation systems to serve homesteaded lands within the Flathead Indian Reservation and provided for turnover of the operation and management of irrigation works serving non-Indian lands when certain Project construction repayment conditions had been met (35 Stat. 450). Further, upon turnover of the project, the 1948 Act called for the operation and management of the Project under rules and regulations approved by the Secretary. As of August 2002, there were 134,788 total acres in the project; 127,535 of which were assessed acres, with 7,252 designated as temporarily non-assessed acres. Approximately 10 percent of the Project’s irrigated lands are held in trust by the United States for the benefit of individual Indian landowners and for the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. Trust land totals 11,771 acres, while land in fee status totals 115,764 acres. The primary source of the water for the Project originates from the Mission Mountains which border the east side of the reservation. The Project facilities include 17 major storage reservoirs, 1,300 miles of canals and laterals and more than 10,000 structures. The Project is divided into the Mission, Post, Pablo, Camas, and Jocko divisions. Primary irrigated crops are hay and alfalfa, ADDRESSES: E:\FR\FM\11OCN1.SGM 11OCN1
