The items
of discussion in the workshop’s agenda
are as follows:
The Groundfish Oversight Committee,
in conjunction with the Groundfish
Advisory Panel, Plan Development
Team, and socio-economic experts of
the Council’s Scientific and Statistical
Committee, will hold a meeting on the
subject of accumulation limits for the
Northeast Multispecies Fishery
Management Plan (FMP). This meeting
will be in a facilitated format and will
not follow the Committee’s standard
decision-making process. The purpose
of the workshop is to explore issues
associated with accumulation limits and
relevant fleet diversity measures. This
group will not revisit the allocation
structure for Potential Sector
Contributions determined in
Amendment 16 to the Northeast
Multispecies FMP. Recommendations
on a potential action to manage
excessive shares in the fishery will be
developed for the Council to consider at
its June 2011 meeting.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come
before this group for discussion, those
issues may not be the subject of formal
action during this meeting. Action will
be restricted to those issues specifically
identified in this notice and any issues
arising after publication of this notice
that require emergency action under
section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act, provided the public has been
notified of the Council’s intent to take
final action to address the emergency.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement and
Notice of Potential Floodplain and
Wetlands Involvement for the
FutureGen 2.0 Program
Department of Energy.
Notice of Intent and Notice of
Potential Floodplain and Wetlands
Involvement.
AGENCY:
srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
ACTION:
The U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE or the Department)
announces its intent to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
pursuant to the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 (42 U.S.C.
4321 et seq.), the Council on
SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:22 May 20, 2011
Jkt 223001
Environmental Quality’s (CEQ) NEPA
regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500–1508),
and DOE’s NEPA implementing
procedures (10 CFR Part 1021) to assess
the potential environmental impacts of
DOE’s proposed action: providing
approximately $1 billion in Federal
funding (most of it appropriated by the
American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act, or ‘‘ARRA’’) for the FutureGen 2.0
program. DOE has prepared this Notice
of Intent (NOI) to inform interested
parties of the pending EIS and to invite
public comments on the proposed
action, including: (1) The range of
environmental issues, (2) the
alternatives to be analyzed, and (3) the
impacts to be considered in the EIS. The
NOI also provides notice in accordance
with 10 CFR Part 1022 (DOE’s
regulations for compliance with
floodplain and wetland review
requirements) that the proposed project
may involve potential impacts to
floodplains and wetlands.
The FutureGen 2.0 program would
provide financial assistance for the
repowering of an existing electricity
generator with clean coal technologies
integrated with a pipeline that would
transport carbon dioxide (CO2) to a
sequestration site where it would be
injected and stored in a deep geologic
formation. DOE entered into separate
cooperative agreements with Ameren
Energy Resources (Ameren) and with
the FutureGen Alliance (the Alliance)
that define DOE’s proposed action. This
program consists of an Oxy-Combustion
Large Scale Test undertaken by Ameren
at its Meredosia Power Station in west
central Illinois and a Pipeline and CO2
Storage Reservoir undertaken by the
Alliance. In addition, the Alliance
would construct and operate facilities
for research, training, and visitors in the
vicinity of the sequestration site. The
Alliance has identified its preferred
sequestration site in Morgan County,
Illinois, and two alternative sites, one in
Christian County, Illinois and one in
Douglas County, Illinois. The program
would provide performance and
emissions data as well as establish
operating and maintenance experience
that would facilitate future large-scale
commercial deployment of these
technologies. DOE would provide
technical and programmatic guidance to
Ameren and the Alliance and oversee
activities for compliance with the terms
of the cooperative agreements. DOE is
responsible for NEPA compliance
activities.
DOE encourages government agencies,
private-sector organizations, and the
general public to participate in the
FutureGen 2.0 program through the
NEPA process. DOE will consult with
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
interested Native American Tribes and
Federal, state, regional and local
agencies during preparation of the EIS.
Further, DOE invites agencies with
jurisdiction by law or special expertise
to participate as cooperating agencies in
the preparation of this EIS.
DATES: DOE invites comments on the
proposed scope and content of the EIS
from all interested parties. To ensure
consideration in the preparation of the
EIS, comments must be received by June
22, 2011. DOE will consider late
comments to the extent practicable. In
addition to receiving comments in
writing and by e-mail [See ADDRESSES
below], DOE will conduct public
scoping meetings during which
government agencies, private-sector
organizations, and the general public are
invited to present oral and written
comments with regard to DOE’s
proposed action, alternatives, and
potential impacts of the proposed
FutureGen 2.0 program. DOE will
consider these comments in developing
the EIS. Public scoping meetings will be
held on June 7, 8, and 9, 2011 [See
‘‘Public Scoping Process’’ under
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION below].
ADDRESSES: Written comments on the
scope of the EIS and requests to
participate in the public scoping
meetings should be addressed to: Mr.
Cliff Whyte, U.S. Department of Energy,
National Energy Technology Laboratory,
P.O. Box 880, Morgantown, West
Virginia 26507–0880. Individuals and
organizations who would like to provide
oral or written comments should contact
Mr. Whyte by mail at the above address;
telephone (toll-free) 1–877–338–5689;
fax 304–285–4403; or electronic mail
(FG2.EIS@netl.doe.gov).
Oral comments will be heard during
the formal portion of the scoping
meetings [See ‘‘Public Scoping Process’’
under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
below]. Various displays and other
information about DOE’s NEPA process
and the FutureGen 2.0 program will be
available, and representatives from DOE
and the project partners will be present
at an informal session to discuss the
FutureGen 2.0 program and the EIS
process.

further information about this project,
contact Mr. Whyte as described above.
