issues to be addressed in preparation of
the EIS regarding the proposed action.
All Federal, State, Tribal, and local
agencies, and other interested persons
or organizations, are urged to participate
in the NEPA scoping process. Scoping
meetings will be conducted to inform

development of proposed alternatives to
be reviewed in the EIS, and to identify
significant issues to be analyzed.
b. Scoping meetings. The Corps plans
to hold scoping meetings in Crooked

comments.
4. Issues To Be Analyzed in the EIS.
The EIS will analyze the potential
social, economic, physical, biological,
and cultural resource impacts of the
proposed project. Numerous issues will
be analyzed in depth in the EIS related
to the effects of mine and associated
infrastructure construction, operation,
and closure. These issues will include,
but will not be limited to, the following:
Wetlands, water quality, air quality,
hazardous materials, fish and wildlife,
special status species, vegetation,
cultural resources, subsistence, human

the U.S. Department of Education (ED),
is seeking approval to conduct in 2013,

state agencies responsible for providing
early childhood education and made
available for secondary analyses. Data
collected as part of the survey focus on
enrollment counts in state-funded early
childhood education programs, funding
provided by the states for these
programs, and program monitoring and

are then reported, both separately and in
combination with extant data available
from federal agencies supporting early
childhood education programs such as
Head Start and the U.S. Census Bureau.
Data from the U.S. Census Bureau form
the basis for some of the rates developed
for the State of Preschool reports. The
