Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 41 / Wednesday, March 3, 2010 / Notices
tentatively scheduled to begin in the fall
of 2010 with an estimated duration of
construction of 1 year.
RUS is the lead agency for the federal
environmental review with Division of
Resource Management of the Leech Lake
Reservation, the Chippewa National
Forest, and U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers participating as cooperating
agencies. In addition to federal review,
the project is subject to Power Plant
Siting Act (Minn. Stat. 216E).
Accordingly OES and RUS have
collaborated to create a joint draft EIS
for this project. A Notice of Intent to
Prepare an EIS and Hold a Scoping
Meeting was published in the Federal
Register at 73FR41312, on July 18, 2008,
and local newspapers. Scoping meetings
for the EIS were held in the project area
in August, 2008, and public comments
were accepted from July 22, 2008,
through September 30, 2008. The OES
issued an EIS scoping decision on
March 31, 2009, and modified it on
February 5, 2010. RUS issued a Scoping
Decision/Report in December, 2009.
As part of its broad environmental
review process, RUS 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), RUS 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 RUS’
decision making in Section 106 review.
Any party wishing to participate more
directly with RUS as a ‘‘consulting
party’’ in Section 106 review may
submit a written request to the RUS
contact provided in this notice.
Alternatives to the proposed project
considered by RUS, OES, and Minnkota
included (a) no action, (b) generation
alternatives, (c) load management, (d)
alternative transmission line
configurations, and (e) alternative
transmission routes. A Draft
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
that describes the proposal in detail and
discusses its anticipated environmental
impacts has been prepared and is
available for public review at the
addresses provided in this Notice.
Questions and comments should be
sent to RUS or OES at the mailing or email addresses provided in this Notice.
RUS should receive comments on the
Draft EIS in writing by April 19, 2010
to ensure that they are considered in the
Final EIS. Once available, the final EIS
will be noticed in the Federal Register
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 220001
and local newspapers. The Federal
Agencies will then issue a Record of
Decision following a 30-day public
comment period on the Final EIS.
Any final action by RUS related to the
proposal will be subject to, and
contingent upon, compliance with all
relevant Federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulations,
and completion of the environmental
review requirements as prescribed in
RUS’ Environmental Policies and
Procedures (7 CFR Part 1794).

growing market full of business
opportunities for U.S. companies. The
Caribbean Region is a natural
commercial partner of the United States,
tied closely together by geography,
history, and culture. The region as a
whole represents a market of about 41
million people who collectively
imported over $20.3 billion of U.S.
goods in 2008! As a result, the
Caribbean Region is the 3rd largest
export market for U.S. manufactured
goods in Latin America behind only
Mexico and Brazil. The United States
enjoys a cooperative trading
relationship with the region.
