ACTION: Notice of availability of the
Revised Record of Decision for the Final
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: On September 30, 2005, the
USIBWC issued a Record of Decision
(‘‘ROD’’) which selected Alternative 4,
Treatment Option C, Discharge Option 1
(Operation of SBIWTP as Advance
Primary Facility, Secondary Treatment
in Mexico) as the means for achieving
CWA compliance at the SBIWTP.
Reevaluation of alternatives for
achieving compliance was prompted by
the inability to timely implement the
selected alternative and by changes in
financial considerations relevant to the
decision of whether to provide
secondary treatment in Mexico or in the
United States. After reevaluation, the
USIBWC has decided to upgrade the
SBIWTP to secondary treatment in the
United States (Secondary Treatment in
the United States, Alternative 5, Option
B–2, Activated Sludge with Expanded
Capacity) to achieve compliance with
the CWA and the NPDES permit. This
Revised Record of Decision reflects the

results of the revaluation and was
prepared in compliance with 40 CFR
1505.2.
The Revised ROD for the Final
SEIS was made available to agencies,
organizations and the general public on
May 15, 2008. A copy of the Revised
ROD for the Final SEIS was posted on

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of the Availability of the Record
of Decision Concerning a Proposal To
Award a Contract to House Federal
Detainees Within a Contractor-Owned/
Contractor-Operated Detention Facility
in the Las Vegas, NV, Area
U.S. Department of Justice,

ACTION: Notice of a Record of Decision.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of
Justice, Office of the Federal Detention
Trustee (OFDT) announces the
availability of the Record of Decision
(ROD) concerning the Final
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for a proposal to award a contract to
house federal detainees within a
Contractor-Owned/Contractor-Operated
detention facility in the Las Vegas,
Nevada, area.
Background Information
Pursuant to section 102, 42 U.S.C.
4332, of the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended
and the Council of Environmental
Quality Regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500–
1508), the OFDT, together with the U.S.
Marshals Service (USMS), prepared
Draft and Final EISs concerning a
proposal to award a contract to house
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
federal detainees within a ContractorOwned/Contractor-Operated detention
facility in the Las Vegas, Nevada, area.
Project Information
During the past two decades, the
federal detainee population has
experienced unprecedented growth as a
result of expanded federal law
enforcement initiatives and resources.
During this time, the federal detainee
population has increased by over 1,000
percent from approximately 3,000 in
1981 to 55,000 to 60,000 today with
continued growth in the federal
detainee population expected for the
foreseeable future. These prisoners are
housed in a combination of local, state,
federal and private facilities around the
country. The growth in the detainee
population is occurring at the same time
that available bedspace in local jails is
decreasing. Local jail space is
increasingly needed to house local
offenders, leaving less space available
for the contractual accommodation of
federal detainees. These trends are
expected to continue and present a
major challenge for those federal
agencies responsible for detaining
prisoners.
Housing the growing number of
federal detainees within the Las Vegas,
Nevada, area is considered to be an
especially important priority. The high
level of federal law enforcement activity
in the western United States in general
and the Las Vegas metropolitan area in
particular requires more beds than are
readily available in local or state
facilities. Compounding the challenge
faced by the USMS is the need for
detention facilities to be located near
federal courthouses so as to allow the
USMS to transport detainees accused of
violating federal laws for court
appearances. In response to this need,
the OFDT, with the support and
assistance of the USMS, is seeking to
contract for a Contractor-Owned/
Contractor-Operated facility to house
detained individuals charged with
federal offenses and while awaiting trial
or sentencing.
In 2007, in response to the need, the
OFDT solicited proposals from
contractors interested in housing
individuals charged with federal
offenses and while awaiting trial or
sentencing. At that time, preparation of
a Draft EIS to analyze the potential
environmental consequences of such an
action was also undertaken. A Draft EIS
was subsequently published on
December 23, 2007 which assessed the
environmental consequences associated
with housing approximately 1,000 to
1,500 federal detainees within a
Contractor-Owned/Contractor-Operated
PO 00000
Frm 00047
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
detention facility in the Las Vegas,
Nevada, area. Implementation of the
proposed action would allow federal
detainees to be housed at a facility
located in proximity to the United
States Courthouse in Las Vegas while
meeting the need for expanded
bedspace capacity. Alternative actions
have been evaluated, including the No
Action alternative, as stipulated by the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969, as amended.
Five prospective detention contractors
initially offered 11 alternative sites in
Nevada and Arizona for development of
a Contractor-Owned/ContractorOperated detention facility with several
of the alternative sites offered by more
than one contractor. Ten of the 11 sites
were found to be located within a 75mile radius of the United States
Courthouse in downtown Las Vegas,
Nevada. The 75-mile radius was among
several minimum solicitation
requirements and, hence, one of the 11
sites, located near the City of Kingman
in Mohave County, Arizona, was
eliminated from further consideration.
Prior to preparation of the Draft EIS, six
of the 10 alternative sites located within
the 75-mile radius were subsequently
withdrawn from further consideration
by the prospective contractors. Four
sites (the 630 East Parque Avenue Site,
the 2250 East Mesquite Avenue Site, the
Apex Industrial Use Zone Site A, and
the Moapa Site) were determined to be
alternatives worthy of consideration and
were evaluated in the Draft EIS.
Following publication of the Draft EIS,
the Apex Industrial Use Zone Site A
was also withdrawn from further
consideration to house federal
detainees, leaving three prospective
contractors and three alternative sites.
The agency preferred alternative is to
contract for provision of a ContractorOwned/Contractor-Operated detention
facility to house approximately 1,000 to
1,500 federal detainees at the 2250 East
Mesquite Avenue Site located in
Pahrump, Nevada. Implementation of
the proposed action to award a contract
to house federal detainees is expected to
result in less-than-significant impacts to
the project site and the community
surrounding the selected site. Beneficial
impacts would be derived from the
proposed action, including
contributions toward protecting society
and achieving the goals of the U.S.
Department of Justice.
A Draft EIS was issued on December
23, 2007, coinciding with publication of
the Notice of Availability (NOA) in the
Federal Register (72 FR 72707). The
NOA provided for a 45-day public
comment period which began on
December 23, 2007, and ended on
