ACTION: Notice of Intent to Prepare a
Draft Environmental Impact Statement.
AGENCY:
Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c)
of the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) of 1969, as implemented by
the Council on Environmental Quality
Regulations (40 Code of Federal
Regulations [CFR] Parts 1500–1508), the
Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) intends
to prepare a Draft Environmental Impact
Statement (DEIS) and conduct Public
Scoping Meetings for the proposed
WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
13:45 Jan 20, 2011
Jkt 223001
housing of inmates under the Criminal
Alien Requirement 12 (CAR 12)
solicitation, at a facility located in either
Hinton, Oklahoma; McRae, Georgia;
Baldwin, Michigan; or Scott County,
Mississippi.
The
mission of the United States Department
of Justice, BOP, is to protect society by
confining offenders in the controlled
environments of prison and communitybased facilities that are safe, humane,
cost-efficient, and appropriately secure,
and that provide work and other selfimprovement opportunities to assist
offenders in becoming law-abiding
citizens. The BOP accomplishes its
mission through the appropriate use of
community correction, detention, and
correctional facilities that are either:
Federally-owned and operated;
federally-owned and non-federally
operated; and non-federally owned and
operated.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Action
The BOP is facing a period of growth
in its inmate population. Projections
show the federal inmate population
increasing from approximately 212,000
inmates at the end of fiscal year 2010 to
over 231,756 inmates by the end of
fiscal year 2013. As such, the demand
for bed space within the federal prison
system continues to grow at a significant
rate. To accommodate a portion of the
growing inmate population, the BOP
proposes to contract with a privatelyowned and operated correctional facility
that can house approximately 1,750
low-security, adult male inmates, that
are predominantly criminal aliens.
Proposals received by the BOP from
private contractors include existing
facilities located in Hinton, Oklahoma;
McRae, Georgia; Baldwin, Michigan;
and a new facility proposed for
development in Scott County,
Mississippi. The BOP has preliminarily
evaluated these proposals and
determined that the prospective facility/
sites appear to be of sufficient size to
provide space for inmate housing,
programs, administrative services and
other support facilities associated with
the correctional facility. The DEIS to be
prepared by the BOP will analyze the
potential impacts of correctional facility
construction and/or operation at these
locations.
The Process
In the process of evaluating the sites,
several aspects will receive detailed
examination including, but not limited
to: Topography, geology/soils,
hydrology, biological resources, utility
services, transportation services,
PO 00000
Frm 00050

cultural resources, land uses, socioeconomics, hazardous materials, and air
and noise quality, among others.
Alternatives
In developing the DEIS, the options of
‘‘no action’’ and ‘‘alternative sites’’ for the
proposed facility will be fully and
thoroughly examined.
Scoping Process
During the preparation of the DEIS,
there will be opportunities for public
involvement in order to determine the
issues to be examined in the DEIS. Four
Scoping Meetings will be held for the
proposed action: The first at 6 p.m.,
February 9, 2011 at the Hinton Fire
Station, 115 E. Main Street, Hinton,
Oklahoma; the second at 7 p.m.,
February 15, 2011 at the Morton City
Board Room, 19 West 1st Avenue,
Morton, Mississippi; the third at 6 p.m.
February 17, 2011 at McRae City Hall,
301 N. 1st Avenue, McRae, Georgia; and
the final at 6 p.m. on February 24, 2011
at Webber Township Hall, 2286 Spring
Time Street in Baldwin, Michigan.
The meeting locations, dates, and
times will be well publicized and will
be arranged to allow for public
involvement, as well as interested
agencies and organizations to attend.
The meetings will be held to allow
interested persons to formally express
their views on the scope and significant
issues to be studied as part of the DEIS
process. The meetings will provide for
timely public comments and
understanding of federal plans and
programs with possible environmental
consequences as required by the NEPA
of 1969, as amended, and the National
Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as
amended.
DEIS Preparation
Public notice will be given concerning
the availability of the DEIS for public
review and comment at a later date.
Address
All are encouraged to provide
comments on the proposed action and
alternatives at the Public Scoping
Meetings and anytime during the public
scoping period and until March 11,
2011. There are three ways in which
comments may be submitted: (1) By
attending one of the scoping meetings,
(2) by mail or (3) by FAX.

Areas Beginning April 1, 2011
Legal Services Corporation.
Notice and Request for
Comments—LSC Elimination of the
Nevada, South Dakota, and Wyoming
Migrant Service Areas.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Legal Services
Corporation will eliminate the Nevada,
South Dakota, and Wyoming migrant
service areas: MNV, MSD, and MWY,
effective April 1, 2011, because any
eligible migrant population in these
states can be more effectively and
efficiently served through the respective
state’s basic field-general grant.
DATES: Written comments must be
received on or before February 22, 2011.
ADDRESSES: Written comments may be
submitted by mail or e-mail to Reginald
J. Haley, Office of Program Performance,
Legal Services Corporation, 3333 K St.,
NW., Washington, DC 20007; or
haleyr@lsc.gov.
SUMMARY:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Reginald J. Haley, Office of Program
Performance, Legal Services
Corporation, 3333 K St., NW.,
Washington, DC 20007; or by email at
haleyr@lsc.gov.
The Legal
Services Corporation’s (LSC) mission is
to promote equal access to justice and
to provide for high-quality civil legal
assistance to low-income persons.
Pursuant to its statutory authority, LSC
designates service areas in U.S. states,
territories, possessions, and the District
of Columbia for which it provides grants
to legal aid programs to provide free
civil legal services, primarily through
‘‘basic field-general’’ grants based on
poverty populations.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PO 00000
Frm 00051
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
In some regions, LSC designates
migrant service areas for grants that are
designed to specifically serve the legal
needs of eligible migrant farmworker
populations. The funding for migrant
service areas is taken out of the funding
for the basic field-general service areas
also covering those populations based
on the estimated number of eligible
migrants as a portion of the total poverty
population.
For many years LSC has designated
migrant service areas in Nevada, South
Dakota, and Wyoming. LSC has been
informed that the eligible migrant
populations in Nevada, South Dakota,
and Wyoming are not sufficient in
numbers to maintain a separate migrant
service area in those states. LSC has
reviewed this matter and determined
that, based on the available information;
it would be more effective and efficient
to serve the legal needs of the eligible
migrant populations in Nevada, South
Dakota, and Wyoming through the basic
field-general grants in those states rather
than providing separate migrant grants.
LSC provides grants through a
competitive bidding process, which is
regulated by 45 CFR part 1634. In 2010,
LSC implemented a competitive grants
process for 2011 calendar year funding
that included, inter alia, the Nevada,
South Dakota, and Wyoming migrant
service areas. LSC determines the term
of grants after applications have been
received. For 2011, LSC awarded a
three-month migrant grant for Nevada to
Nevada Legal Services, for South Dakota
to Dakota Plains Legal Services and for
Wyoming to Legal Aid of Wyoming.
These grants are effective January 1,
2011, through March 31, 2011.
LSC intends to eliminate the Nevada,
South Dakota, and Wyoming migrant
service areas beginning April 1, 2011.
Funding for the eligible migrant
populations of Nevada, South Dakota,
and Wyoming will be restored to those
states’ basic field-general grants. LSC
expects that the recipients of those
grants, i.e., Nevada Legal Services,
Dakota Plains Legal Services, and Legal
Aid of Wyoming, will continue to
provide services to the eligible migrant
populations as part of their basic fieldgeneral grants.
LSC invites public comment on this
decision. Interested parties may submit
comments to LSC within a period of
thirty (30) days from the date of
publication of this notice. More
information about LSC can be found at
LSC’s Web site: https://www.lsc.gov.

Environmental Quality Regulations (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR]
Parts 1500-1508), the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) intends to

Public Scoping Meetings for the proposed housing of inmates under the
Criminal Alien Requirement 12 (CAR 12) solicitation, at a facility
located in either Hinton, Oklahoma; McRae, Georgia; Baldwin, Michigan;
or Scott County, Mississippi.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The mission of the United States Department

The BOP is facing a period of growth in its inmate population.
Projections show the federal inmate population increasing from
approximately 212,000 inmates at the end of fiscal year 2010 to over
231,756 inmates by the end of fiscal year 2013. As such, the demand for

be of sufficient size to provide space for inmate housing, programs,
administrative services and other support facilities associated with
the correctional facility. The DEIS to be prepared by the BOP will

and/or operation at these locations.
The Process
In the process of evaluating the sites, several aspects will
receive detailed examination including, but not limited to: Topography,
geology/soils, hydrology, biological resources, utility services,
transportation services, cultural resources, land uses, socio-
economics, hazardous materials, and air and noise quality, among
others.
Alternatives
In developing the DEIS, the options of ``no action'' and
``alternative sites'' for the proposed facility will be fully and
thoroughly examined.
Scoping Process
During the preparation of the DEIS, there will be opportunities for
public involvement in order to determine the issues to be examined in
the DEIS. Four Scoping Meetings will be held for the proposed action:
The first at 6 p.m., February 9, 2011 at the Hinton Fire Station, 115
E. Main Street, Hinton, Oklahoma; the second at 7 p.m., February 15,
2011 at the Morton City Board Room, 19 West 1st Avenue, Morton,
Mississippi; the third at 6 p.m. February 17, 2011 at McRae City Hall,
301 N. 1st Avenue, McRae, Georgia; and the final at 6 p.m. on February
24, 2011 at Webber Township Hall, 2286 Spring Time Street in Baldwin,
