Environmental Impact Statement, Dry Fork Station and Hughes 
Transmission Line, Wyoming.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Rural Utilities Service (RUS) 
is extending the public comment period for the Draft Environmental 
Impact Statement (EIS) for the Dry Fork Station and Hughes Transmission 
Line. The Draft EIS was prepared pursuant to the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (U.S.C. 4231, et seq.) in accordance with the 
Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations for implementing the 
procedural provisions of NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500 through 1508) and RUS 
regulations (7 CFR part 1794).
    The Draft EIS is to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of 
and alternatives to the Basin Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. (Basin 
Electric) application for a loan guarantee to construct a generation 
facility referred to as the Dry Fork Station, consisting of a single 
maximum net 385 Megawatt (MW) unit, at a site near Gillette, Wyoming, 
along with other proposed pollution controls collectively known as Best 
Available Control Technology (BACT). In addition, Basin Electric also 
proposes to construct and operate 136 miles of 230 kilovolt (kV) 
transmission line in Campbell and Sheridan counties, referred to as the 
Hughes Transmission Project. Basin Electric is not, however, requesting 
a loan guarantee from RUS for this action. However, the Hughes 
Transmission Project is evaluated as a connected action for this EIS 
because the Dry Fork Station would interconnect with it if the Station 
is built.
    The Draft EIS was filed with the U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency on August 24, 2007. Requests for extension of public comment 
periods may be honored per 40 CFR 1506.10. The initial 45-day public 
comment period was to end on October 15, 2007. With the 30-day
