The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Capital Financing Advisory Board, 62635 [E7-21803]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 214 / Tuesday, November 6, 2007 / Notices public notice requesting comment on the DEIS and the applicant’s proposed action. Due to the complexity of this project, the comment period was originally set at three months and subsequently extended an additional 2 weeks. A public hearing was held on December 14, 2006. The DEIS contained no designation of an agency preferred alternative. Since release of the DEIS, the Corps has reviewed comments and further discussed economic practicability with the applicant. As a result of this evaluation the Corps finds it necessary to evaluate an additional alternative, Alternative ‘‘L.’’ PCS, on its own initiative, has developed a second additional alternative, Alternative ‘‘M,’’ and has requested it be evaluated as well. Both these alternatives are contained within the project area established in the DEIS. In order to provide the information necessary to objectively evaluate both alternatives ‘‘L’’ and ‘‘M’’ and to compare these alternatives to the alternatives introduced in the DEIS the Corps is releasing this Supplement to the DEIS (SDEIS). The decision whether to issue a Department of the Army Clean Water Act Section 404 permit will be made after completing the required 404(b)(1) analysis and public interest review including full consideration of all comments. Dated: October 30, 2007. John E. Pulliam, Jr., Colonel, U.S. Army, District Commander.
