(CEQ) regulations for implementing the
procedural provisions of NEPA (40 CFR
Parts 1500–1508) and RUS’s NEPA
implementing regulations (7 CFR Part
1794, Environmental Policies and
Procedures). The EA evaluates the
environmental impacts associated with
a potential loan or loan guarantee to
Turning Point Solar LLC (Turning Point
Solar) for the proposal. RUS is
considering funding this proposal.
ADDRESSES: To obtain copies of the
FONSI or EA, or for further information,

Environmental Scientist, USDA, Rural
Utilities Service, 1400 Independence

(202) 720–1482, fax: (202) 690–0649, or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Turning
Point Solar proposes to construct a 49.9
MW solar generating facility in
Brookfield Township, Noble County,
Ohio. The proposal involves the
installation of high-efficiency
monocrystalline photovoltaic panels
mounted on fixed solar racking
equipment and the construction of
access roads, a powerhouse,
transmission improvements, and other
supporting facilities. The preferred site
is located eight miles northwest of
Caldwell, Ohio, on approximately 771
acres of reclaimed strip-mined land
owned by Columbus Southern Power
Company and Ohio Power Company,
collectively American Electric Power
Ohio (‘‘AEP Ohio’’). The land was
mined by the Central Ohio Coal
Company between 1969 and 1991, after
which time it was reclaimed. The
proposed generating facility would
interconnect to AEP Ohio’s South
Cumberland 69kV substation, subject to
completion of the Pennsylvania-New
Jersey-Maryland (PJM) Generation
Interconnection application process.
A Notice of Intent to prepare an EA
and hold a scoping meeting was
published in the Federal Register on
June 27, 2011, and in newspapers
within the general circulation of the
proposal area from June 27, 2011 to July
5, 2011. A public meeting was held on
July 14, 2011, at the Caldwell
Elementary School, located at: 44350
Fairground Road, Caldweld, Ohio. A
scoping summary report can be found at
the RUS Web site listed in this Notice.
The notice of availability of the EA for
public review was published in the
Federal Register on February 1, 2012,
and in newspapers within the general
circulation of the proposal area on
January 26, 2011 to January 30, 2011.
The EA was available for public and
agency review on the RUS Web site
listed in this Notice and at Caldwell
Public Library, located at: 517 Spruce
Street, Caldwell, Ohio 43724. The 30day comment period ended on March 2,
2012. RUS received three agency
comments and one public comment.
They are addressed in the FONSI.
Turning Point Solar hired URS
Corporation to prepare an EA for RUS
that described the proposal and assessed
its potential environmental impacts.
RUS conducted an independent
evaluation of the EA and concurred
with its scope and content. In
accordance with RUS’s Environmental
Policies and Procedures at 7 CFR
1794.41, RUS accepted the document as
its EA.
Based on its EA, RUS has concluded
that the proposal would have no
significant impacts to water quality,
wetlands, the 100-year floodplain, land
use, aesthetics, transportation, or human
health and safety. The proposal will
have no adverse effects on historic
properties listed or eligible for listing on
the National Register of Historic Places.
RUS has also concluded that the
proposal is not likely to affect federally
listed threatened and endangered
species or designated critical habitat.
The proposal would not
disproportionately affect minority and
low-income populations.
No other potential significant impacts
resulting from the proposal have been
identified. Therefore, RUS has
determined that this FONSI fulfills its
obligations under NEPA for its action
related to the proposal. RUS is satisfied
that the environmental impacts of the
proposal have been adequately
addressed. If RUS takes a federal action
on the proposal, it will not result in
significant impacts to the quality of the
human environment. Accordingly, an
Environmental Impact Statement will
not be prepared for the proposal.

Accordingly, EDA has initiated
investigations to determine whether
increased imports into the United States

total or partial separation of the firm’s
workers, or threat thereof, and to a
decrease in sales or production of each
petitioning firm.
