We will evaluate public comments and have a preferred alternative in the final EIS. In addition to any methods in you can view or obtain documents at our Web site: https:// izembek.fws.gov/EIS.htm. Bureau of Indian Affairs Public Review emcdonald on DSK29S0YB1PROD with NOTICES Preferred Alternative Public Meetings AGENCY: ADDRESSES, We started the EIS for Izembek Refuge land exchange/road corridor in August 2009. At that time and throughout the planning process, we requested public comments and considered and incorporated them in numerous ways. In January 2010, we published a scoping newsletter describing the process for the EIS and informing the public of upcoming scoping meetings, and how they could be informed or involved. In October 2010, we published another newsletter informing the public of the issues identified during scoping. These newsletters were mailed to approximately 1,000 individuals, agencies, and organizations, and the documents were available over the Internet at https://izembek.fws.gov/ eis.htm. To gather additional input from the public, we held seven public open house meetings—five in communities adjacent to or within the boundaries of the Izembek Refuge; one in Washington, DC; and one in Anchorage, Alaska. Individuals and organizations provided 31,568 comments during the scoping process. The responses came in emails, web forms, postcards, faxes, letters, and public hearing transcripts. Approximately 87 people spoke at meetings in 7 communities. The responses were reviewed, coded, and analyzed. Comments were sorted into broad issue groups including: 1. NEPA process (permits, the EIS, consultation and coordination); 2. Purpose and need for the action; 3. Proposed action, alternatives, and mitigation measures; 4. Affected environment, environmental consequences, and potential direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts; and 5. Data and available information. We considered and evaluated these issues and public concerns, and used them to develop various aspects of the DEIS. The DEIS is now available for public review. As described in the following sections, the public may obtain copies of the DEIS summary, compact discs of the full document or view the document on our web site. Comments may be submitted at public meetings or via email, regular mail or fax. Once the public comment period ends, the comments will be analyzed and used to craft the final EIS which will be released later this year. VerDate Mar<15>2010 13:40 Mar 16, 2012 Jkt 226001 We will involve the public through open houses, meetings, and written comments. We will mail documents to our national and local Refuge mailing lists. Public open house meetings will be held in Anchorage, Cold Bay, False Pass, King Cove, Nelson Lagoon and Sand Point, Alaska. Dates, times, and locations of each meeting or open house will be announced in advance in local media and on our Web sites. Submitting Comments/Issues for Comment We particularly seek comments on the issues and alternatives addressed in the DEIS. We will respond to all substantive comments in the final EIS. We consider comments substantive if they: • Question, with reasonable basis, the accuracy of the information in the document; • Question, with reasonable basis, the adequacy of the environmental assessment; • Present reasonable alternatives other than those presented in the draft EIS; and/or • Provide new or additional information relevant to the assessment. Next Steps After this comment period ends, we will analyze the comments and address them in the form of a final EIS and decision document. Public Availability of Comments Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. Dated: March 13, 2012. Geoffrey L.
