Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 36 / Wednesday, February 24, 2010 / Notices
its implementing regulations (40 CFR
parts 1500–1508) to evaluate the
impacts of a proposed land exchange
with the State of Alaska and the King
Cove Corporation for the purpose of
constructing a single-lane gravel road
between the communities of King Cove
and Cold Bay, Alaska. The land
exchange would involve the removal of
approximately 206 acres within the
Izembek Wilderness portion of Izembek
National Wildlife Refuge for the road
corridor and approximately 1,600 acres
of Federal land within the Alaska
Maritime National Wildlife Refuge on
Sitkinak Island. In exchange, we would
receive approximately 43,093 acres of
land owned by the State of Alaska and
approximately 13,300 acres of land
owned by the King Cove Corporation.
These lands are located around Cold
Bay and adjacent to the North Creek
Unit of Alaska Peninsula National
Wildlife Refuge.
The Act directed us to begin our
preparation of this EIS not later than 60
days after the Secretary received
notification by the State and the King
Cove Corporation of their intention to
exchange lands. The Secretary received
notification from the King Cove
Corporation on May 19, 2009, and from
the State of Alaska on June 19, 2009.
Our notice of August 6, 2009 (74 FR
39336), initiated the process and opened
the period for public scoping. This
revised notice informs the public of the
dates for the public scoping meetings in
Washington, DC, and Anchorage,
Alaska, and also notifies the public of
the comment-period end date (see
DATES). We will also hold public
scoping meetings at King Cove, Cold
Bay, Sand Point, and Nelson Lagoon,
Alaska; we will announce the dates,
times, and locations locally, at least 10
days prior to each meeting.
In accordance with Section
6402(b)(2)(B) of the Act, the EIS will
analyze the proposed land exchange and
the potential construction and operation
of a road between the communities of
King Cove and Cold Bay, Alaska, and
will evaluate a specific road corridor
through the Izembek Refuge that will be
identified in consultation with the State
of Alaska, the City of King Cove, and the
Agdaagux Tribe of King Cove. The
alternatives anticipated at this time
include the existing situation (no land
exchange or road construction) and the
proposed land exchange and road
construction and operation as outlined
in the Act. In preparing the EIS, we will
request comments from the public
locally, regionally, and nationally. As
required in the Act, subsequent to the
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:49 Feb 23, 2010
Jkt 220001
preparation of the EIS and in
conjunction with the Record of
Decision, the Secretary of the Interior
will determine whether the land
exchange (including the construction of
the proposed road) is in the public
interest. We anticipate release of the
Draft EIS in the spring of 2011, followed
by a 90-day public review period.

Before including your address, phone
number, e-mail address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may

While you can ask us to withhold it
from public review, we cannot
guarantee we will be able to do so.
