Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 83 / Friday, April 29, 2011 / Notices revised process plan and schedule, as well as a list of issues, identified through the scoping process. Environmental Site Review An environmental site review is typically held in conjunction with the scoping meeting. However, anticipating that access to some project facilities would be limited by adverse weather and access conditions, the licensee hosted a project environmental site review on September 16, 2010. The environmental site review was noticed by the Commission on August 18, 2010, and attended by Commission staff on September 16, 2010. For these reasons, the Commission will not host its own environmental site review in conjunction with its NEPA scoping meeting. Meeting Objectives At the scoping meetings, staff will: (1) Initiate scoping of the issues; (2) review and discuss existing conditions and resource management objectives; (3) review and discuss existing information and identify preliminary information and study needs; (4) review and discuss the process plan and schedule for prefiling activity that incorporates the time frames provided for in Part 5 of the Commission’s regulations and, to the extent possible, maximizes coordination of federal, state, and tribal permitting and certification processes; and (5) discuss the appropriateness of any federal or state agency or Indian tribe acting as a cooperating agency for development of an environmental document. Meeting participants should come prepared to discuss their issues and/or concerns. Please review the PAD in preparation for the scoping meetings. Directions on how to obtain a copy of the PAD and SD1 are included in item n. of this document. Meeting Procedures The meetings will be recorded by a stenographer and will be placed in the public records of the project. Dated: April 22, 2011. Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary.
