ACTION: Notice of availability. AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announces the availability of the Final Record of Decision (ROD) for the Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement for Northern Border Activities (PEIS). The release of this Final ROD concludes a process of assessment of the potential for CBP activities to affect the environment along the northern border and recommends what measures CBP anticipates it will routinely consider to reduce the potential for environmental harm from its actions. CBP is also making certain technical corrections to the PEIS to ensure that it accurately describes CBP activities and the preparation of the PEIS itself. This notice describes those technical corrections. SUMMARY: You may obtain copies of the Final ROD and the PEIS revisions by accessing the following Internet addresses: https://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/ about/ec/nepa_pr/nepa_by_state/ nobo_peis/ and https://www.dhs.gov/ nepa. Alternatively you may email cbpenvironmentalprogram@cbp.dhs.gov before August 8, 2013 or telephone (202–325–4191) to request a copy of the Final ROD. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jennifer DeHart Hass, CBP, Office of Administration, telephone 202–325– 4191. You may also visit the project’s Web page through: https://www.cbp.gov/ xp/cgov/about/ec/nepa_pr/ nepa_by_state/nobo_peis/. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Northern Border PEIS was prepared to inform CBP decision-makers about mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES ADDRESSES: VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:05 May 09, 2013 Jkt 229001 potential environmental impacts resulting from CBP Northern Border activities. The action alternatives considered in the PEIS represent reasonably foreseeable changes to CBP’s Northern Border security program that could potentially occur over the next five to seven years. On July 27, 2012, CBP published a Notice of Availability (NOA) in the Federal Register (77 FR 44259) announcing the availability of the Final PEIS and availability of the Draft ROD for the Northern Border PEIS for a 30day public review prior to making a decision on what alternative CBP would select from among those analyzed. Previous Federal Register notices published for the PEIS are as follows: • Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare four PEISs, July 6, 2010, 75 FR 38822. • NOI to Prepare One PEIS, November 9, 2010, 75 FR 68810. • NOA of a Draft PEIS, September 16, 2011, 76 FR 57751. The Executive Director for Facilities Management signed the Final ROD on April 11, 2013. It is available on the CBP Web site at https://www.cbp.gov/xp/ cgov/about/ec/nepa_pr/nepa_by_state/ nobo_peis/. The Final ROD confirms CBP’s determination that the Detection, Inspection, Surveillance, and Communications Technology Expansion Alternative is most representative of the approach CBP will employ in order to enhance response to emergent border security threats while advancing trade and travel facilitation over the next five to seven years. The Detection, Inspection, Surveillance, and Communications Technology Expansion Alternative would focus on increased patrol activity and deploying more and better technologies to support CBP’s detection, inspection, and surveillance capabilities and operational communications. This alternative is consistent with current statements of national policy with regard to Northern Border security and trade and travel facilitation goals. The release of this Final ROD concludes a process of assessment of the potential for CBP activities to impact the environment along the northern border and recommends what measures CBP anticipates it will routinely consider to reduce the potential for environmental harm from its actions. Other alternatives studied in the PEIS included the Facilities Development and Improvement Alternative, the Tactical Security Infrastructure Deployment Alternative, and the Flexible Direction Alternative. The Flexible Direction Alternative would allow CBP to employ any of the tools and activities in the other alternatives. CBP determined that PO 00000 Frm 00053 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 although the Flexible Direction Alternative fully meets the purpose and need presented in the PEIS, its approach is more resource intensive than the riskbased approach envisioned for enhancing border security. If within five years of signing this ROD, CBP is required to adopt additional measures beyond the scope of the alternative selected at this time, CBP will evaluate whether it should issue a ROD adopting the Flexible Direction Alternative. Comment Response and Clarifications Incorporated Into the Final ROD In response to a comment received on the Draft ROD and further consideration of its decision, CBP included certain clarifications in the Final ROD. Easement Clarification During the 30-day period following the public release of the Final PEIS and Draft ROD, CBP received seven inquiries and only one comment on the Final PEIS. This comment was from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Along with providing information on all NRCS easements along the Northern Border, NRCS requested that CBP attempt to avoid constructing facilities and infrastructure within NRCS conservation easements. CBP addressed this comment in the Final ROD by including easements in the list of Federal lands for which CBP should use the Borderlands Management Task Force structure to enhance coordination among landmanagers regarding usage for CBP construction, modification, and maintenance projects. Best Management Practices (BMPs) Clarifications BMP A.1, described in the Final ROD, is focused on improving CBP coordination with the Department of Interior (DOI) and USDA during project planning. The Final ROD clarifies this BMP’s applicability to DOI managed lands and lands held in trust for American Indians and Federallyrecognized Indian tribes. The Final ROD further emphasizes that CBP will also coordinate and consult with governments of tribes or nations when activities impact such lands held in trust. In response to NRCS comments, CBP also included applicable easements to the list of USDA managed land. BMP A.5 is concerned with minimizing impacts to migratory birds and threatened and endangered flying species from CBP towers. The Final ROD clarifies that the BMP applies to construction of new antennae structures. Furthermore, when CBP is E:\FR\FM\10MYN1.SGM 10MYN1
