sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
The PEIS on the Future of the
LORAN–C Program will be a programlevel document that will provide USCG
with high-level analysis of the potential
impacts on the human environment
from the alternatives for the future of
the LORAN–C Program. The USCG is
the lead agency for determining the
scope of this review and has determined
that a PEIS will best meet its needs. The
PEIS will comply with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA), the Council on Environmental
Quality regulations in 40 CFR parts
1500–1508, Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) Management Directive
5100.1 (Environmental Planning
Program), and Coast Guard
Commandant Instruction (COMDTINST)
M16475.1D (National Environmental
Policy Act Implementing Procedures
and Policy for Considering
Environmental Impacts). The
geographic scope of the LORAN–C PEIS
is those areas covered by the
radionavigation system. Should the
USCG decide to end its involvement
with LORAN–C, the analysis provided
in the PEIS will enable the USCG to
prepare tiered documents on the
disposition of each LORAN Station and
monitoring station.
Proposed Action and Alternatives
The PEIS will address the following
four alternatives to represent the range
of possible management options for the
future of the USCG LORAN–C Program:
(1) Decommission the USCG LORAN–
C Program and Terminate North
American LORAN–C Signal. Under this
alternative, all USCG LORAN–C signals
would be terminated at one time. All
USCG LORAN Stations would be
decommissioned; LORAN artifacts,
documents and equipment (i.e., towers
and related infrastructure) would be
removed; and USCG personnel would
be reassigned. LORAN Station property
would be declared excess to the needs
of the USCG following Federal
guidelines on transfer of excess
property. The disposition of each
LORAN Station would range from
transferring ownership of the property
with such infrastructure as buildings,
roads, piers, and airstrips intact, to
returning the property to a natural state
prior to its transfer.
(2) Transfer Management of the
LORAN–C Program to another
government agency. Under this
alternative, the USCG would continue to
operate the LORAN–C Program until the
transfer to another Agency.
(3) Automate, Secure, and Unstaff
LORAN Stations. Under this alternative,
the USCG would continue to operate the
LORAN–C Program. The LORAN–C
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
signal would remain on the air but the
USCG would reduce staffing. To the
extent practical, the USCG would
automate equipment; secure buildings
and fencing to protect equipment,
antenna, and antenna guides; and
reassign personnel. The LORAN
Stations would become LORAN Sites
operating unstaffed with preventive and
corrective maintenance performed by
contractor personnel.
(4) No Action Alternative. The
LORAN–C signal would remain on air,
and LORAN–C operations would remain
as they currently are with no change in
staffing. Maintenance and
modernization of equipment would
continue to keep the signal operating.
The PEIS will serve as a top tier
environmental analysis of program-level
changes. This notice of intent is
required by 40 CFR 1508.22, and briefly
describes the proposed action and
possible alternatives and our proposed
scoping process. The PEIS will provide
a general level of analysis of
environmental impacts on the 24
LORAN Stations, 24 Monitoring Sites,
and the LORAN Support Unit (LSU)
since the disposition of each facility is
not currently known. The PEIS will also
discuss the No Action Alternative as
required under NEPA. You can address
any questions about the proposed
action, the scoping process, or the PEIS
to the USCG LORAN–C Program Office
(see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT).
Scoping Process
Public scoping is an early and open
process for identifying and determining
the scope of issues to be addressed in
the PEIS. Scoping begins with this
notice, continues through the public
comment period (see DATES), and ends
when the USCG has completed the
following actions:
• Invites the participation of Federal,
State, and local agencies, any affected
Indian tribe and other interested
persons;
• Determines the actions, alternatives,
and impacts described in 40 CFR
1508.25;
• Identifies and eliminates from
detailed study those issues that are not
significant or that have been covered
elsewhere;
• Identifies other relevant
environmental review and consultation
requirements on the future of the
LORAN–C Program;
• Indicates the relationship between
timing of the environmental review and
other aspects of the proposed action;
and
• At its discretion, exercises the
options provided in 40 CFR 1501.7(b).

Once the scoping process is complete,
the USCG will prepare a draft PEIS, and
will publish a Federal Register notice
announcing its public availability. (If
you want that notice to be sent to you,
please contact the USCG Project Office
point-of-contact identified in FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.) You
will have an opportunity to review and
comment on the draft PEIS.
Additionally, the USCG anticipates
holding public meetings in
approximately December 2007 to
present the draft PEIS and receive
public comments regarding that
document. The USCG will subsequently
consider all comments received and
then prepare the final PEIS. As with the
draft PEIS, the USCG will announce the
availability of the final PEIS and once
again give interested parties an
opportunity for review and comment.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service), on behalf of the
Department of the Interior (DOI),
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), and New York
State Department of Environmental
Conservation (New York), as natural
resource trustees, announces the release
of the Final Restoration Plan (RP) for the
Mattiace Petrochemical Superfund Site
(Site). The Final RP presents the
selected restoration alternative,
consisting of a single restoration project
that compensates for impacts to natural
resources caused by contaminant
releases associated with the Site.
ADDRESSES: Requests for copies of the
RP may be made to: U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, New York Field Office,
3817 Luker Road, Cortland, NY 13045.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: During the
period of March 1996 through December
2000, natural resource damage
settlements were achieved for the
Mattiace Petrochemical Superfund Site.
NOAA and the State of New York were
settling Trustees with the DOI. A variety
of hazardous chemicals were discharged
from the Site into Glen Cove Creek,
located in the Town of Oyster Bay,
Nassau County, New York. Chemical
releases and remedial activities at the
Site adversely affected natural resources
such as anadromous, catadromous,
euryhaline, and marine finfish;
shellfish; invertebrates; waterfowl; other
migratory birds; and reptiles. The funds
available from the settlement for
restoration activities total approximately
$155,000.
The RP is being released in
accordance with the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as
amended, commonly known as
Superfund (42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq.), the
Natural Resource Damage Assessment
Regulations found at 43 CFR part 11,
and the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA). The Final RP is intended to
describe the Trustees’ selected
alternative to restore natural resource
injuries associated and affected by the
Site.
The RP describes a number of habitat
restoration and protection alternatives
and discusses the environmental
consequences of each. The restoration
effort with the greatest potential to
restore natural resources and services
that were injured by contaminants or
remedial activities is preferred. Based
on an evaluation of the various
restoration alternatives, the selected
alternative consists of a single
restoration project involving tidal
marsh/wetland restoration and
protection.
Copies of the RP are available from
the Service’s New York Field Office at
3817 Luker Road, Cortland, NY 13045.
Additionally, the RP is available for
viewing at the following Web site:
https://nyfo.fws.gov/ec/MattiaceFRP.pdf.
No written comments on the Draft
Restoration Plan were received for
consideration in the final restoration
plan/environmental assessment.
