ACTION:
Notice of Intent.
The Albuquerque District,
Corps of Engineers (Corps) is preparing
a draft Supplemental Environmental
Impact Statement (SEIS) on the findings
of an ongoing flood risk management
study along the Rio Grande from San
Acacia downstream to San Marcial in
Socorro County, New Mexico. The
purpose of the study is to reevaluate the
plan of flood protection authorized by
the Flood Control Act of 1948 (Pub. L.
80–858) in light of recent changes in
levee design parameters and
environmental resources in the study
area. The tentatively proposed plan is to
replace the existing embankment
between the Low Flow Conveyance
Channel and the Rio Grande with a
structurally competent levee capable of
containing high-volume, long-duration
flows. This engineered levee would
substantially reduce the risk of damage
from floods emanating from the Rio
Grande. The local cost-sharing sponsors
of the proposed project are the Middle
Rio Grande Conservancy District and
the New Mexico Interstate Stream
Commission.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions or comments regarding the
draft SEIS can be answered by: William

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Previously, an environmental impact
statement and two supplements have
been published regarding this project. A
final environmental impact statement
addressing a recommendation to
construct flood and sediment control
dams on the Rio Puerco and Rio Salado
was filed with the Council on
Environmental Quality in 1977. An SEIS
evaluating the effects of the alternative
to rehabilitate the existing spoil-bank
levee system was filed with the Council
on Environmental Quality in 1992. In
May 1997, a draft SEIS evaluating the
revised design of the proposed levee to
withstand long-duration floods and
evaluating effects to recently listed
endangered species was filed with the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency;
however, a final SEIS was not prepared.
Currently, a new draft SEIS is being
developed to evaluate effects of revised
levee design and additional alternatives.
The draft SEIS will be integrated with
a draft General Reevaluation Report, and
the integrated document is hereafter
referred to as the draft GRR/SEIS–II.
Alternatives Considered: Alternatives

tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:

current effort and previous studies
consist of levee reconstruction; flood
and sediment control dams; local levees;
intermittent levee replacement;
watershed land treatment; floodproofing
of buildings; levee-alignment setbacks;
and no action.
Public Involvement: Coordination is
ongoing with both public and private
entities having jurisdiction or an
interest in land and resources in the
middle Rio Grande valley of New
Mexico. These entities include the
general public, local governments, the
U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, the New
Mexico Department of Game and Fish,
and the New Mexico State Historic
Preservation Officer. Coordination will
continue throughout the development of
the draft GRR/SEIS–II.
Significant Issues To Be Analyzed:
Issues to be analyzed in the
development of the draft GRR/SEIS–II
include the effect of alternatives on
flood risk, floodplain development,
water quality, ecological resources,
endangered species, wildlife refuge
objectives, social welfare, human safety,
cultural resources, and aesthetic
qualities. Development and
implementation of mitigation measures
will be undertaken for unavoidable
effects.
Public Review: It is estimated that the
draft GRR/SEIS–II will be circulated for
public review in April 2012. All
interested parties including Federal,
state, and public entities will be invited
to submit comments on the draft GRR/
SEIS–II when it is circulated for review.
A public meeting will be held during
the public review period in Socorro,
New Mexico. An announcement of the
exact date and location of the public
meeting will be published in the
Federal Register, and in Socorro and
Albuquerque newspapers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
December 19, 2011, we published a
notice in the Federal Register (76 FR
78621) inviting applications for new
awards for FY 2012 for the UB Program
(NIA). On January 25, 2012, we
published a second notice in the
Federal Register (77 FR 3751) extending
the deadline date for the transmittal of
applications to February 1, 2012, and
extending the deadline date for
Intergovernmental Review to April 2,
2012.
Shortly before the revised application
deadline date, it came to the
Department’s attention that some
informational materials made available
on a Department Web site contained an
error that may have led some applicants
to incorrectly respond to one of the
competitive preference priorities.
Following a review of the nature and
extent of the error and concerns about
its potential effects on applicants’
scores, the Department is reopening the
competition for two weeks to provide
time for applicants that submitted
timely applications under the February
1, 2012, deadline and that may have
been affected by this error to submit
amended applications.
This opportunity will be limited to a
specific subset of applicants that meet
certain demonstrated criteria. The
Department will compare amended
applications submitted in accordance
with this notice with the original
submissions to ensure the applicant
satisfies the criteria for a resubmission.
The Department will not accept any
amended application that fails to meet
the criteria set forth in this notice.
