Notice of Final National
Environmental Policy Act Implementing
Procedures.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
This notice announces the
addition of a new categorical exclusion
under the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) to be included in the
Departmental Manual 516 DM 10. The
proposed categorical exclusion pertains
to the leasing and funding for singlefamily homesites on Indian land,
including associated improvements and
easements, which encompass five acres
or less of contiguous land.
SUMMARY:
E:\FR\FM\10AUN1.SGM
10AUN1
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 155 / Friday, August 10, 2012 / Notices
Effective Date: The categorical
exclusion is effective August 10, 2012.
ADDRESSES: To obtain a copy of the new
categorical exclusion contact Marvin
Keller, NEPA Coordinator—Indian
Affairs, 12220 Sunrise Valley Drive,
Reston, VA 20191, email:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Background
The need for adequate housing is
critical on most Indian reservations.
Several hundred actions associated with
new home construction are processed
each year and this is expected to
continue at the same level. The Bureau
of Indian Affairs (BIA) has typically
conducted NEPA reviews of actions
associated with single-family homes by
preparing environmental assessments
which resulted in Findings of No
Significant Impact. The addition of a
categorical exclusion to cover the
actions associated with new home
construction will allow for a more
efficient NEPA review.
Because this categorical exclusion has
important implications for actions
occurring daily on Indian lands, the BIA
initiated consultation and requested
comments from all federally recognized
tribes. This consultation period began
on March 7, 2012, and concluded on
May 14, 2012. Public comments were
also solicited through a notice placed in
the Federal Register on May 3, 2012 [77
FR 26314]. The proposed language for
the categorical exclusion as set out in
the notice was as follows: ‘‘Approval of
leases, easements or funds for singlefamily homesites and associated
improvements, including but not
limited to homes, outbuildings, access
roads, and utility lines, which
encompass five (5) acres or less of
contiguous land, provided that such
sites and associated improvements do
not adversely affect any tribal cultural
resources or historic properties and are
in compliance with applicable federal
and tribal laws.’’
Comments on the Proposal
The BIA received responses from 14
tribes and one tribal organization. No
public responses were received. The
responses were in the form of letters and
email messages. All responses
supported the proposed categorical
exclusion; a few suggested minor
changes in the language of the
categorical exclusion.
Comment: One respondent expressed
a concern about neighboring tribes or
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:02 Aug 09, 2012
Jkt 226001
tribal members constructing homes
within their reservation without
complying with the tribe’s laws. The
respondent suggested that the
categorical exclusion should not be
available for non-members or outside
tribes to construct homes on another
tribe’s lands.
Response: The categorical exclusion is
intended to be applicable to all tribes
and tribal members who propose to
construct single-family homes on tribal
land or individually-owned Indian land.
However, the proposed text of the
categorical exclusion includes specific
language that references ‘‘compliance
with federal and tribal laws;’’ therefore,
this categorical exclusion could not be
used for any home construction that
does not comply with tribal law. The
BIA does not propose any additional
changes to the language of the
categorical exclusion in response to this
comment.
Comment: One respondent expressed
concern that because of a decrease in
funds for the BIA Housing Improvement
Program (HIP) the categorical exclusion
would not be effective.
Response: The HIP funding levels are
outside the scope of this proposal.
However, the categorical exclusion is
intended to address all BIA actions
associated with constructing singlefamily homes and includes actions not
associated with HIP funding.
Comment: A respondent suggested
that the categorical exclusion should
include Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) approved housing
activities.
Response: The BIA categorical
exclusion can only apply to BIA actions
and cannot apply to another agency
such as HUD. The proposed BIA
categorical exclusion is intended to be
consistent with HUD’s existing
categorical exclusions, so that the level
of environmental review will be similar.
Comment: A respondent suggested
that since the categorical exclusion is
intended to include new construction
this term should be added to the text.
Response: The BIA agrees, and text of
the categorical exclusion has been
changed to clearly indicate that it
includes new construction as intended.
Comment: A respondent noted that
the BIA Federal Register notice
indicates a single-family homesite may
include one to four dwelling units, but
the number of dwelling units is not
referenced in the text of the categorical
exclusion. It was suggested that the
number of dwelling units should be
referenced, and that, because the key
factors limiting the use of the categorical
exclusion should be the area of land
affected (five acres) and the absence of
PO 00000
Frm 00064
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
47863
any extraordinary circumstances, it
should not matter whether the limit of
four dwelling units are in a single
building, two duplexes or four detached
units.
Response: The BIA agrees the
categorical exclusion should be clearly
defined as including one to four
dwelling units as intended. The BIA
also believes that the categorical
exclusion should be flexible enough to
include a range of housing options. We
therefore added text to the categorical
exclusion to clarify that home
construction may include up to four
dwelling units, whether in a single
building or up to four separate
buildings. This clarification will also
ensure the categorical exclusion is
consistent with HUD’s existing
categorical exclusion [24 CFR
58.35(a)(4)(i)].
Comment: One respondent asked for
clarification as to who would have
approval authority for the categorical
exclusion: the agency superintendent or
a compacted self-governance tribe.
Response: Because the Federal
government is responsible for
complying with NEPA, the approval
authority for the categorical exclusion is
with the BIA responsible official. Tribes
can prepare the supporting NEPA
documentation, but the approval must
remain with the BIA.
Conclusion
The Department of the Interior and
the BIA find that the action defined in
the categorical exclusion presented at
the end of this notice does not
individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human
environment. This finding is based on
the analysis of similar categorical
exclusions used by other Federal
departments and agencies; the
professional judgment of BIA
environmental personnel who had
conducted environmental reviews of
similar actions, which resulted in
Findings of No Significant Impact; and
the post-construction monitoring of
homesites by environmental personnel
that verified no unforeseen effects had
occurred.
Categorical Exclusion
The Department of the Interior will
add the following categorical exclusion
to the Departmental Manual at 516 DM
10.5:
Approvals of leases, easements or funds for
single family homesites and associated
improvements, including, but not limited to,
construction of homes, outbuildings, access
roads, and utility lines, which encompass
five acres or less of contiguous lands,
provided that such sites and associated

improvements do not adversely affect any

and are in compliance with applicable
Federal and tribal laws. Home construction
may include up to four dwelling units,
whether in a single building or up to four
separate buildings.

The need for adequate housing is critical on most Indian

Because this categorical exclusion has important implications for

consultation period began on March 7, 2012, and concluded on May 14,
2012. Public comments were also solicited through a notice placed in

Comments on the Proposal
The BIA received responses from 14 tribes and one tribal
organization. No public responses were received. The responses were in
the form of letters and email messages. All responses supported the
proposed categorical exclusion; a few suggested minor changes in the
language of the categorical exclusion.
Comment: One respondent expressed a concern about neighboring
tribes or tribal members constructing homes within their reservation
without complying with the tribe's laws. The respondent suggested that
the categorical exclusion should not be available for non-members or
outside tribes to construct homes on another tribe's lands.
Response: The categorical exclusion is intended to be applicable to
all tribes and tribal members who propose to construct single-family
homes on tribal land or individually-owned Indian land. However, the
proposed text of the categorical exclusion includes specific language
that references ``compliance with federal and tribal laws;'' therefore,
this categorical exclusion could not be used for any home construction
that does not comply with tribal law. The BIA does not propose any
additional changes to the language of the categorical exclusion in
response to this comment.
Comment: One respondent expressed concern that because of a
decrease in funds for the BIA Housing Improvement Program (HIP) the
categorical exclusion would not be effective.
Response: The HIP funding levels are outside the scope of this
proposal. However, the categorical exclusion is intended to address all
BIA actions associated with constructing single-family homes and
includes actions not associated with HIP funding.
Comment: A respondent suggested that the categorical exclusion
should include Housing and Urban Development (HUD) approved housing
activities.
Response: The BIA categorical exclusion can only apply to BIA
actions and cannot apply to another agency such as HUD. The proposed
BIA categorical exclusion is intended to be consistent with HUD's
existing categorical exclusions, so that the level of environmental
review will be similar.
Comment: A respondent suggested that since the categorical
exclusion is intended to include new construction this term should be
added to the text.
Response: The BIA agrees, and text of the categorical exclusion has
been changed to clearly indicate that it includes new construction as
intended.
Comment: A respondent noted that the BIA Federal Register notice
indicates a single-family homesite may include one to four dwelling
units, but the number of dwelling units is not referenced in the text
of the categorical exclusion. It was suggested that the number of
dwelling units should be referenced, and that, because the key factors
limiting the use of the categorical exclusion should be the area of
land affected (five acres) and the absence of any extraordinary
circumstances, it should not matter whether the limit of four dwelling
units are in a single building, two duplexes or four detached units.
Response: The BIA agrees the categorical exclusion should be
clearly defined as including one to four dwelling units as intended.
The BIA also believes that the categorical exclusion should be flexible
enough to include a range of housing options. We therefore added text
to the categorical exclusion to clarify that home construction may
include up to four dwelling units, whether in a single building or up
to four separate buildings. This clarification will also ensure the
categorical exclusion is consistent with HUD's existing categorical
exclusion [24 CFR 58.35(a)(4)(i)].
Comment: One respondent asked for clarification as to who would
have approval authority for the categorical exclusion: the agency
superintendent or a compacted self-governance tribe.
Response: Because the Federal government is responsible for
complying with NEPA, the approval authority for the categorical
exclusion is with the BIA responsible official. Tribes can prepare the

BIA.
Conclusion
The Department of the Interior and the BIA find that the action
