and updated public scoping
information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Through
preparation of the Management Plan
and EIS, USACE will develop a range of
alternatives for the purposes of Missouri
River recovery and mitigation. This
federal action includes activities on the
Missouri River and is designed to assist
in the recovery of Missouri River
species protected under the Federal
Endangered Species Act (ESA).
Mitigation actions address USACE’s
requirements pursuant to the 1958 Fish
and Wildlife Coordination Act (PL 85–
624), section 601(a) of the Water
Resources Development Act (WRDA) of
1986, and section 334(a) and (b) of the
WRDA of 1999, and Section 3176 of the
WRDA 2007.
Section 3176 of WRDA 2007
expanded the USACE’s authority to
include recovery and mitigation
activities on the Missouri River in the
upper basin states of Montana,
Nebraska, North Dakota, and South
Dakota. The combination of recovery
and mitigation activities is commonly
referred to as the Missouri River
Recovery Program.
In accordance with 40 CFR 1502.4 (c),
this EIS will evaluate all proposals or
parts of proposals similar in nature such
that, in effect, they represent a single
course of action. The Missouri River
Recovery Management Plan and
Environmental Impact Statement will
assess and, where appropriate,
supplement or update prior analysis
made pursuant to the requirements
listed above. The EIS will assess the
programmatic impacts, cumulative
effects and alternatives to accomplish
the purposes of the ESA, the 1958 Fish
and Wildlife Coordination Act (PL 85–
624), section 601(a) of the Water
E:\FR\FM\09AUN1.SGM
09AUN1
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 154 / Friday, August 9, 2013 / Notices
Resources Development Act (WRDA) of
1986, and section 334(a) and (b) of the
WRDA of 1999, and Section 3176 of the
WRDA 2007. The federal actions which
implement those authorities have been
combined into one program and are
being assessed together to effectively
and efficiently carry out the multiple
goals associated with the authorizations.
Additionally to be addressed in this EIS,
the USACE has received a proposal from
the Missouri River Recovery
Implementation Committee,
recommending the agency perform an
effects analysis and adaptive
management of potential management
actions on ESA listed species.
Addressing this proposal will result in
an analysis of management alternatives
and adaptive management actions to
benefit these species, and thus requires
supporting environmental effects
analyses which will be included in this
Environmental Impact Statement.
The Missouri River Recovery
Management Plan and EIS will be
narrower than the scope and purpose of
the study from section 5018(a) of the
Water Resources Development Act of
2007 (Missouri River Ecosystem
Restoration Plan). That study included
the additional purpose of ecosystem
restoration and was inclusive of the
entire Missouri River watershed,
including tributaries, while this plan
and EIS will focus exclusively on the
purposes of recovery and mitigation and
be limited primarily to the areas and
objectives prescribed in the authorities
listed above.
Scoping. To provide the public with
an opportunity to provide input on the
scope of issues to be addressed and to
identify issues related to the proposed
action, public scoping is being
conducted through October 18, 2013. To
facilitate the scoping process, live
scoping webinars will be conducted on
September 11, 2013 and September 18,
2013 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Central
Daylight Savings time. The webinars
