Abstract: The Southwest Border
Prosecutor Initiative was enacted in FY
2002 to reimburse state, county, parish,
or municipal governments for the costs
associated with the prosecution of
criminal cases declined by local U.S.
Attorneys. Each year, hundreds of
criminal cases resulting from Federal
arrests are referred to local prosecutors
to handle when the cases fall below
certain monetary, quantity, or severity
thresholds. This places additional
burdens on local government resources
that are already stretched by the
demands of prosecuting violations of
local and state laws. This program
provides funds to eligible jurisdictions
in the four southwest border states,
using a uniform payment-per-case basis
for qualifying federally initiated and
declined-referred criminal cases that
were disposed of after October 1, 2001.
Up to 220 eligible jurisdictions may
apply. This includes county
governments and the four state
governments in Arizona, California,
New Mexico, and Texas.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond/reply: It is estimated that no
more than 220 respondents will apply.
Each application takes approximately 60
minutes to complete and is submitted 4
times per year (quarterly).
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The total hour burden to
complete the applications is 880 hours
(880 applications (220 × 4 times a year)
× 60 minutes = 52,800/60 minutes per
hour = 880 burden hours).

Bureau of Prisons
Notice of Intent To Prepare a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement
(DEIS) for Housing Up to 2,500 Low
Security, Adult Inmate Beds at
Privately Owned Institution in Lake
City, FL and/or Baldwin, MI
AGENCY: U.S. Department of Justice,
Federal Bureau of Prisons.
ACTION: Notice of Intent to Prepare a
Draft Environmental Impact Statement
(DEIS).
SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c)
of the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) of 1969, as implemented by
the Council on Environmental Quality
Regulations (40 Code of Federal
Regulations [CFR] Parts 1500–1508), the
Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) intends
to prepare a Draft Environmental Impact
Statement (DEIS) and conduct Public
Scoping Meetings for the proposed
housing of inmates under Criminal
Alien Requirement 9, at proposed
facilities in Lake City, Florida and/or
Baldwin, Michigan.
The
mission of the United States Department
of Justice, BOP, is to protect society by
confining offenders in the controlled
environments of prison and communitybased facilities that are safe, humane,
cost-efficient, and appropriately secure,
and that provide work and other selfimprovement opportunities to assist
offenders in becoming law-abiding
citizens. The BOP accomplishes its
mission through the appropriate use of
community correction, detention, and
correctional facilities that are either:
federally-owned and operated;
federally-owned and non-federally
operated; and non-federally owned and
operated.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Action
The BOP is facing a period of
unprecedented growth in its inmate
population. Projections show the federal
inmate population increasing from
approximately 201,600 inmates at the
end of fiscal year 2008 to 212,000
inmates by the end of fiscal year 2010.
As such, the demand for bed space
within the federal prison system
continues to grow at a significant rate.
To accommodate a portion of the
growing inmate population, the BOP has
determined that an additional federal,
low-security facility is needed in its
system. To meet this need, the BOP
proposes to contract with a contractor
owned and operated correctional facility
E:\FR\FM\19JNN1.SGM
19JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 117 / Friday, June 19, 2009 / Notices
that can house up to 2,500 sentenced or
un-sentenced criminal aliens.
Proposals received by the BOP from
private contractors include a proposed
expansion of an existing facility in
Baldwin, Michigan and/or new
construction at a site in Lake City,
Florida. The BOP has preliminarily
evaluated these sites and determined
that the prospective sites appear to be of
sufficient size to provide space for
housing, programs, administrative
services and other support facilities
associated with the correctional facility.
The DEIS to be prepared by the BOP
will analyze the potential impacts of
correctional facility construction/
renovation and operation at these sites.
The Process
In the process of evaluating the sites,
several aspects will receive detailed
examination including, but not limited
to: Topography, geology/soils,
hydrology, biological resources, utility
services, transportation services,
cultural resources, land uses, socioeconomics, hazardous materials, and air
and noise quality, among others.
Alternatives
In developing the DEIS, the options of
‘‘no action’’ and ‘‘alternative sites’’ for
the proposed facility will be fully and
thoroughly examined.
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
Scoping Process
During the preparation of the DEIS,
there will be opportunities for public
involvement in order to determine the
issues to be examined in the DEIS. A
Public Scoping Meeting will be held at
6 p.m. June 30, 2009 at the Columbia
County Public Library located at 308
NW Columbia Avenue, Lake City,
Florida.
In addition, a Public Scoping meeting
will be held at 6 p.m., July 7, 2009 at
the Webber Township Hall located at
2286 West Springtime Street, Baldwin,
Michigan. The meeting locations, dates,
and times will be well publicized and
have been arranged to allow for public
involvement, as well as interested
agencies and organizations to attend.
The meetings are being held to allow
interested persons to formally express
their views on the scope and significant
issues to be studied as part of the DEIS
process. The meetings will provide for
timely public comments and
understanding of federal plans and
programs with possible environmental
consequences as required by the NEPA
of 1969, as amended, and the National
Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as
amended.
