Environmental Impact Statement for the Renewed Application for 
the Proposed Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupe[ntilde]o Indians 
Fee-to-Trust Acquisition and Casino-Hotel Project, San Bernardino 
County, CA

AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of correction.

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

SUMMARY: Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is correcting its previous 
Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an environmental impact statement 
(EIS) for the Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupe[ntilde]o Indians' 
renewed application for a Proposed Fee-to-Trust Acquisition and Casino-
Hotel Project in San Bernardino County, California. The corrections 
include adding cooperating agencies, reducing the acreage proposed for 
acquisition, and changing certain project details to reflect a smaller 
proposed development.

DATES: Comments on the scope of the EIS will be accepted until March 
20, 2009.

ADDRESSES: You may mail or hand carry written comments to Dale Morris, 
Regional Director, Pacific Regional Office, Bureau of Indian Affairs, 
2800 Cottage Way, Sacramento, California 95825.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Rydzik, Chief, Division of 
Environment, Cultural Resources Management and Safety, BIA Pacific 
Region (916) 978-6051.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice advises the public that the BIA 
is correcting its previous NOI to prepare an EIS for the Los Coyotes 
Band of Cahuilla and Cupe[ntilde]o Indians' renewed application for a 
Proposed Fee-to-Trust Acquisition and Casino-Hotel Project in San 
Bernardino County, California, which was published on June 6, 2008 (73 
FR 32354). The NOI did not include the names of two additional 
cooperating agencies; provided a larger acreage of land to be 
transferred from fee to trust status; and contained some inaccuracies 
in the details of the proposed casino and hotel project. Therefore, 
this notice is being published, pursuant to the BIA National 
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Handbook, section 6.4(A)(1), to 
supplement the June 2008 NOI by:
     Adding the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the 
City of Barstow, California, as cooperating agencies, in addition to 
the National Indian Gaming Commission and the Los Coyotes Band of 
Cahuilla and Cupe[ntilde]o Indians;
     Establishing that the proposed land acquisition would 
involve approximately 23.1 acres, rather than the 45 acres stated in 
the June 2008 NOI; and
     Correcting the proposed project details represent a 
smaller proposed development compared to the Los Coyotes Band of 
Cahuilla Cupe[ntilde]o Indians' original application (specifically, the 
corrected details are that the proposed project would include a 
proposed casino of approximately 89,003 square feet, a 160-room hotel, 
3,000 parking spaces, and associated food and beverage facilities, 
retail space, banquet/meeting space and administrative space).

INFORMATION section of this notice.
