Download as PDF 9202 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 39 / Monday, March 1, 2010 / Notices in lieu of an environmental assessment (EA). The EIS will be prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Scoping The FERC staff prepared a scoping document and held public scoping meetings on October 19, 2009 in Palo Cedro, CA and October 22, 2009 in Redding, CA. FERC staff held public environmental site reviews of the project on October 20 and 21, 2009. The public meetings and environmental site reviews assisted staff in identifying the scope of the environmental issues that should be analyzed. The results of the scoping were extensive and indicate than an EIS should be prepared for this project rather than an EA, as staff had initially anticipated. The upcoming EIS will reflect input received at the scoping meetings and justify why staff has determined that an EIS should be prepared. Process The FERC staff will first issue and circulate a draft EIS to all of the interested parties for comment. All comments filed on the draft EIS will be analyzed by the FERC staff and considered in the final EIS pursuant to NEPA. The FERC staff will also hold a public meeting in California before issuing the final EIS. The staff’s conclusions and recommendations will then be presented for the consideration of the Commission in the order reaching its final decision. For further information please contact the project coordinator, CarLisa Linton at (202) 502–8416 or carlisa.lintonpeters@ferc.gov. Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary. and final approval to be effective April 1, 2010, and ending March 31, 2015.
