Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 163 / Tuesday, August 23, 2011 / Notices
Depending upon the residual
radiological hazards present within the
millsite restricted area, administrative
jurisdiction of the reclaimed heaps may
be required to be transferred to the
Department of Energy for long-term
custodial care until contamination is
deemed no longer a threat to public
health and safety.
Titan estimates that the Project would
employ a mix of full-time personnel and
temporary contractors throughout the
life of the mine. During the construction
of each mine unit, 20 to 30 full-time
employees plus 80 contractors would be
employed. During mining operations,
about 210 full-time employees plus
another 40 contractors would be
required. It is likely that the majority
would live in Riverton and Lander. The
Project is projected to provide an
economic benefit through a variety of
taxes paid to Federal, State, and local
governments to include employee
income taxes, severance taxes, property
taxes, and sales taxes.
The Project is in conformance with
the Lander RMP/Final EIS and ROD,
1987. During the preparation of the EIS,
interim exploration and development
will be subject to development
guidelines and decisions made in
applicable NEPA documents, including
the Lander RMP and any subsequent
revisions. The EIS will analyze the
environmental consequences of
implementing the Project as proposed
and alternatives, including a No Action
Alternative. Other alternatives that may
be considered in detail could include,
for example, reclamation schedule
adjustments, or perhaps a different pace
of development. The Project would not
impair lands with wilderness
characteristics.
The purpose of the public scoping
process is to determine relevant issues
that will influence the scope of the
environmental analysis, including
alternatives, and guide the process for
developing the EIS. At present, the BLM
has identified the following preliminary
issues: air resources, water resources,
wildlife and special status species,
vegetative resources, grazing, concerns
about risks from selenium, heavy metals
and uranium, and long-term postclosure management.
The BLM will utilize and coordinate
the NEPA commenting process to help
fulfill the public involvement process
under Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act (16 U.S.C.
470f) as provided for in 36 CFR
800.2(d)(3). Native American tribal
consultations will be conducted in
accordance with policy, and tribal
concerns will be given due
consideration, including impacts on

Indian trust assets. Federal, State, and
local agencies, along with other
stakeholders who may be interested in
or affected by the BLM’s decision on
this project, are invited to participate in
the scoping process and, if eligible, may
request or be requested by the BLM to
participate as a cooperating agency.

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, 42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C) the National
Park Service (NPS) announces the
availability of a Final Environmental
Impact Statement (FEIS) on Off-Road
Vehicle Management in the Nabesna
District of Wrangell-St. Elias National

the environmental impacts of a
preferred alternative and four action
alternatives for management of off-road
vehicles in the Nabesna District. The
purpose is to consider opportunities for
appropriate and reasonable access to
wilderness and backcountry recreational
activities, which also accommodates
subsistence and access to inholdings;

wildlife habitat, and other park resource
values. A no action alternative is also
evaluated. This notice officially begins
