Great Lakes Hydro America, LLC; Notice of Application for Amendment of License and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Protests, 55826-55827 [E8-22624]

Download as PDF 55826 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 188 / Friday, September 26, 2008 / Notices under the NEPA and SEPA processes, cultural considerations under the NHPA, and land-use considerations such as consistency with the CLUP are considered also in cleanup decisions under the TPA framework. This Amended ROD clarifies DOE’s finding that the use of these other regulatory processes is consistent with processes established in the HCP–EIS to ensure that land-use decisions are consistent with the CLUP. However, DOE does not believe it is appropriate to use these other regulatory processes to amend the CLUP (including making changes to land-use map, designations, and policies). Proposals to amend any aspect of the CLUP will continue to follow the process outlined in Chapter 6 of the HCP–EIS. The review process for land-use requests that would change or modify the CLUP (Figure 5–1 of the Supplement Analysis) requires review by the DOE Real Estate Officer (REO) and the DOE NEPA Compliance Officer. As stated in Section 6.4 of the final HCP–EIS: The REO receives notice (e.g., NEPA checklist, SEPA checklist, CERCLA RI/FS [Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study] review request, CERCLA review request, RCRA permit request, etc.) from a proposed project or activity and initiates, with the NEPA Compliance Officer (NCO), a coordinated project review. * * * As an initial step in the review process, the REO determines whether the project is an ‘‘Allowable Use,’’ ‘‘Special Use,’’ or ‘‘Amendment’’ to the CLUP. For projects that require Special Use Permits or Plan Amendments, the REO obtains comments and recommendations from the SPAB [Site Planning Advisory Board] on the suitability of the proposed ‘‘Use’’ with respect to the existing CLUP map, land-use policies, and implementing procedures. For CLUP Amendments, review includes a final RL [Richland Operations Office] Site Management Board (SMB) affirmation, or the SMB can refer a proposed Plan Amendment back to the REO for further review. As discussed in the Supplement Analysis (Section 5.5), this review process may result in additional NEPA review. jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES IV. Supplement Analysis Determination and Amended Decision Based on the Supplement Analysis, DOE finds no significant new circumstances or information relevant to environmental concerns and bearing on the proposed actions or their impacts as described in the HCP–EIS. Therefore, DOE has determined that neither a new EIS nor a supplement to the existing HCP–EIS is needed at this time. Based on the Supplement Analysis, DOE concludes that using the regulatory processes in place at the Hanford Site VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:07 Sep 25, 2008 Jkt 214001 under the framework of the Tri-Party Agreement is an acceptable way to ensure land use is being implemented consistently with the CLUP. DOE will continue to follow the provisions of section 6.4 of the HCP–EIS for proposed amendments to the CLUP. Resource and area management plans will continue to be developed and implemented with the goal of protecting Hanford’s resources, maintaining consistency with CLUP policies and goals, and honoring commitments made in these management plans. Issued in Washington, DC, on September 19, 2008. James A. Rispoli, Assistant Secretary for Environmental Management. [FR Doc.
