Notice of availability and public hearing. AGENCY: erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with NOTICES ACTION: SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announces the availability of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Kemper County IGCC Project (DOE/EIS–0409D) for public review and comment, as well as the date, location, and time for a public hearing. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is participating as a cooperating agency in the preparation of this document. The draft environmental impact statement (EIS) analyzes the potential environmental impacts associated with the construction and operation of a project proposed by Southern Company, through its affiliate Mississippi Power Company (Mississippi Power), which was selected by DOE to receive financial assistance under the Clean Coal Power Initiative (CCPI) program. In addition, DOE may issue a loan guarantee to the project pursuant to the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct05). The loan guarantee would apply to the planning, design, permitting, equipment procurement, construction, and startup of the power plant. DOE prepared this draft EIS in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations that implement the procedural provisions of NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500–1508), and the DOE procedures implementing NEPA (10 CFR part 1021). DATES: DOE invites the public to comment on the Draft EIS during the public comment period, which ends December 21, 2009.

DOE will hold a public hearing on December 1, 2009, at Kemper County High School, 429 Philadelphia Road, DeKalb, Mississippi beginning at 7 p.m. An informational session will be held at the same location from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., preceding the public hearing on the same day. Requests to speak at the public hearing can be made by calling or writing the EIS Document Manager (see ADDRESSES). Requests to speak not submitted prior to the hearing will be accepted in the order in which they are received during the hearing. Speakers are encouraged to provide a written version of their oral comments for the record. Each speaker will be allowed five minutes to present comments unless more time is requested and available. Comments will be recorded by a court reporter and will become part of the public hearing record. Oral and written comments will be given equal consideration. The public hearing will be accessible to people with disabilities. Any individual with a disability requiring special assistance, such as a sign language interpreter or a translator, should contact Mr. Richard A. Hargis, Jr., NEPA Document Manager, (see ADDRESSES) at least 48 hours before the meeting so that arrangements can be made. Requests for information about this Draft EIS or to receive a copy of it should be directed to: Richard A. Hargis, Jr., NEPA Document Manager, U.S. Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory, M/S 922–M217, P.O. Box 10940, Pittsburgh, PA 15236.

For further information on the proposed project or the draft EIS, please contact Mr. Richard A. Hargis, Jr., (see ADDRESSES). For general information regarding the DOE NEPA process, please contact: Ms. Carol M. Borgstrom, Director, Office of NEPA Policy and Compliance (GC–54), U.S. Department of Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20585–0103; telephone: 202–586–4600; fax: 202–586–7031; or leave a message at: (800) 472–2756. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: The proposed project would demonstrate Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) technology using lignite coal as a feedstock for a new electricity generating plant at a site in Kemper County, Mississippi. The facilities would convert lignite coal, produced at a new mine to be developed near the power plant site by North American Coal Company, into synthesis gas (syngas) for generating a nominal 582 megawatts of electricity while reducing sulfur dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, mercury, and particulate emissions as compared to conventional lignite-fired power plants. The project would also be designed to capture up to 67 percent of the carbon dioxide (CO2) that would otherwise be emitted when firing syngas. The captured CO2 would be transported by pipeline for beneficial use and geologic storage in existing enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations in Mississippi. The EIS will inform DOE’s decisions on whether to provide a total of $294 million in cost-shared funding (15 percent or less of the total project cost, which is currently projected to be greater than $2 billion) for the proposed project under the CCPI program. It will also inform DOE’s decision on whether to issue a loan guarantee to the project pursuant to EPAct05. The USACE will evaluate the potential environmental impacts before deciding whether to issue permits under the Clean Water Act (CWA) for stream and wetland disturbances that would result from the proposed mine, power plant, electrical transmission lines, and pipelines. The EIS evaluates the potential impacts of the proposed project, connected actions, and reasonable alternatives. Because the proposed project may affect floodplains and wetlands, the Draft EIS includes an assessment of impacts to floodplains and wetlands in accordance with DOE regulations for Compliance with Floodplains and Wetlands SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: E:\FR\FM\05NON1.SGM 05NON1
