Download as PDF 34970 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 115 / Wednesday, June 15, 2011 / Notices the proposed action at https:// www.northernpasseis.us. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY On February 11, 2011, DOE announced in the Federal Register (76 FR 7828) its intention to prepare an EIS to assess the potential environmental impacts from its proposed action of granting a Presidential Permit to Northern Pass Transmission, LLC, to construct, operate, maintain, and connect a new electric transmission line across the U.S.-Canada border in northern New Hampshire. The EIS will address the potential environmental impacts from the proposed action, no action and the range of reasonable alternatives. The U.S. Forest Service, White Mountain National Forest, the Army Corps of Engineers, New England District, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 1 are cooperating agencies. DOE held seven public scoping meetings from March 14 to 20, 2011, in New Hampshire. The public scoping period closed on April 12, 2011. On April 15, 2011, DOE reopened the public scoping period until June 14, 2011, in response to public requests and to ensure that the public had ample opportunity to provide comments (76 FR 21338). On April 12, 2011, Northern Pass submitted scoping comments stating that it was working to identify additional routing alternatives in the northern portion of the proposed route (the area within approximately 40 miles of the U.S.-Canada border). Northern Pass has not yet provided additional routing alternatives to DOE, but in anticipation of this information, DOE is reopening the public scoping period for an indefinite period. DOE will determine the close of the scoping period once any additional routing information is received from Northern Pass. DOE will announce in the Federal Register any additional proposed routing alternatives submitted by Northern Pass, the locations, dates and times of any additional scoping meetings, as well as the end of the scoping period. The scoping period will close no sooner than 45 days after DOE publishes the above notice in the Federal Register. jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Issued in Washington, DC, on June 9, 2011.
