SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Oglethorpe proposes to construct a new
100–MW biomass power plant in
Warren County near Warrenton,
Georgia. The proposal is to meet, in
part, the future demand of Oglethorpe’s
Members to provide a reliable, longterm supply of renewable and
sustainable energy. Oglethorpe is
seeking financing from RUS for its
investment. The proposal is classified in
7 CFR Part 1794.25 as requiring an EIS.
Prior to making a financial decision
about whether to provide financial
assistance for a proposal, RUS is
required to conduct an environmental
review under the NEPA in accordance
with the Agency policies and
procedures codified in 7 CFR Part 1794.
These regulations require the Agency to
consider engineering alternatives
including no action, load management,
conservation measures, and reactive
power supply.
Government agencies, private
organizations, and the public are invited
to participate in the planning and
analysis of the proposed projects.

Oglethorpe will be available at the
scoping meetings to discuss the
environmental review process, describe
the proposals, discuss the scope of
environmental issues to be considered,
answer questions, and accept
comments. As part of its broad
environmental review process, the
Agency must take into account the effect
of the proposal on historic properties in
accordance with Section 106 of the
National Historic Preservation Act and
its implementing regulation, ‘‘Protection
of Historic Properties’’ {36 CFR Part
800}. Pursuant to 36 CFR 800.2 (d)(3),
the Agency is using its procedures for
public involvement under NEPA to
meet its responsibilities to solicit and
consider the views of the public during
Section 106 review. Accordingly,
comments submitted in response to
scoping will inform Agency decision
making in Section 106 review. Any
party wishing to participate more
directly with the Agency as a
‘‘consulting party’’ in Section 106
review may submit a written request to
do so to the Agency contact at the above
address.
Using information from the
Alternatives Report and considering
input provided by government agencies,
private organizations, and the public,
RUS and Oglethorpe, in consultation
with the cooperating agencies, will
determine the scope of the EIS. Notices
announcing the availability of the Draft
EIS will be published in the Federal
Register and local newspapers.
Any final action by the Agency
related to the proposal will be subject
to, contingent upon, and in compliance
with environmental review
requirements will be conducted as
prescribed by the Agency’s
environmental policies and procedures
(7 CFR Part 1794).
