Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 212 / Wednesday, November 2, 2011 / Notices
Environmental Policies and Procedures
(7 CFR part 1794).
Because the proposed Project may
involve action in floodplains or
wetlands, this NOI also serves as a
notice of proposed floodplain or
wetland action. The EIS will include a
floodplain/wetland assessment and, if
required, a floodplain/wetland
statement of findings will be issued
with the Final EIS.
Agency Responsibilities: RUS is
serving as the lead Federal agency, as
defined at 40 CFR 1501.5, for
preparation of the EIS. With this notice,
Native American Tribes and agencies
with jurisdiction or special expertise are
invited to be cooperating agencies. Such
tribes or agencies may make a request to
RUS to be a cooperating agency by
contacting Mr. Rankin. Designated
cooperating agencies have certain
responsibilities to support the NEPA
process, as specified at 40 CFR
1501.6(b).
Environmental Issues: This notice is
to inform agencies and the public of
RUS’ federal action, and the proposed
Project, and to solicit comments and
suggestions for consideration in
preparing the EIS. To help the public
frame its comments, this notice contains
a list of potential environmental issues
that RUS has tentatively identified for
analysis. These issues include:
1. Impacts on protected, threatened,
endangered, or sensitive species of
animals or plants;
2. Impacts on avian and bat species;
3. Impacts on land use, recreation,
and transportation;
4. Impacts on cultural resources or
historic properties and tribal values;
5. Impacts on human health and
safety;
6. Impacts on air, soil, and water
resources (including air quality and
surface water impacts);
7. Visual impacts; and
8. Socioeconomic impacts and
whether there would be any
disproportionately high and adverse
impacts to minority and low-income
populations.
This list is not intended to be allinclusive or to imply any
predetermination of impacts.
Environmental issues associated with
the action of RUS, and Basin Electric’s
proposed Project will be addressed
separately in the EIS. RUS invites
interested parties to suggest specific
issues within these general categories,
or other issues not included above, to be
considered in the EIS.
Public Participation: Public
participation and full disclosure are
planned for the entire EIS process. The

EIS process will include open-house
public scoping meetings and a scoping
comment period to solicit comments
from interested parties; consultation and
involvement with appropriate Federal,
State, local, and tribal governmental
agencies; public review and a hearing
on the draft EIS; publication of a final
EIS; and publication of a Record of
Decision. Expected EIS completion date
is December 2013. Additional informal
public meetings may be held in the
proposed Project areas, if public interest
and issues indicate a need; if additional
public meeting are determined to be
necessary public notices will be
published as appropriate.
RUS will hold open-house public
scoping meetings in Williston, North
Dakota, and Killdeer, North Dakota as
noted above. The time and locations of
these meetings will be well advertised
in local media outlets a minimum of 15
days prior to the time of the meetings.
Attendees are welcome to come and go
at their convenience and to speak oneon-one with Project representatives and
agency staff. The public will have the
opportunity to provide written
comments at the meeting. In addition,
attendees may provide written
comments by letter, fax, email.
The public scoping period begins
with publication of this notice in the
Federal Register and closes December 2,
2011. To be considered in defining the
scope of the EIS, comments should be
received by the end of the scoping
period.
Dated: October 27, 2011.
