Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 56 / Friday, March 24, 2017 / Notices
March 2016, the Bureau completed the
Revised Final EIS for the Proposed
United States Penitentiary and Federal
Prison Camp, Letcher County,
Kentucky, which evaluated the potential
environmental impacts from the
acquisition of property and construction
and operation of a new United States
Penitentiary, Federal Prison Camp,
ancillary facilities, and access roads in
Letcher County. The RFEIS analyzed
two potential locations: An
approximately 753-acre site in eastern
Letcher County (Alternative 1—Payne
Gap), and an approximately 700-acre
site in western Letcher County
(Alternative 2—Roxana). The RFEIS
identified Alternative 2—Roxana as the
preferred alternative because it best
meets the project needs and, on balance,
would have fewer impacts to the natural
and built environment.
The Bureau was originally
considering acquiring approximately
700 acres at the Roxana site for this
project. The Bureau removed two
parcels of land at the Roxana site from
acquisition consideration, resulting in a
proposed site of approximately 570
acres. This reduction in site size
necessitated modifying the facilities
layout evaluated for Alternative 2—
Roxana in the RFEIS. The
environmental impacts of the Modified
Alternative 2—Roxana have been
analyzed in the Draft Supplemental
RFEIS. The alternatives evaluated in the
Draft Supplemental RFEIS include the
No Action Alternative and Modified
Alternative 2—Roxana.
Modified Alternative 2—Roxana is the
Preferred Alternative and includes
proposed facilities that would house
approximately 1,216 total inmates:
Approximately 960 within the USP and
approximately 256 within the FPC.
Inmates housed in the USP would be
high-security male inmates and those
housed in the FPC would be minimumsecurity male inmates. In addition to the
USP and FPC, several ancillary facilities
necessary for the operation of the USP
and FPC would be constructed. The
ancillary facilities would include a
central utility plant, outdoor firing
range, outside warehouse, staff training
building, garage/landscape building,
access roads, and parking lots. A nonlethal/lethal fence and site lighting
would also be installed. The non-lethal/
lethal fence would be placed around the
perimeter of the USP between two
parallel, chain link and razor wire
fences. Operation of the USP and FPC
would require approximately 300 fulltime staff.
The Draft Supplemental RFEIS
analyzes potential direct, indirect and
cumulative environmental impacts that
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:05 Mar 23, 2017
Jkt 241001
may result from Modified Alternative
2—Roxana, including land use and
zoning; topography, geology, and soils;
air quality; noise; infrastructure and
utilities; cultural resources; water
resources; and biological resources. The
Bureau determined there is no
significant new information relevant to
environmental concerns and no
appreciable changes to potential
impacts as a result of the modifications
to the Roxana site size and facilities
layout under Modified Alternative 2—
Roxana to the following resource areas:
Socioeconomics and environmental
justice, community facilities and
services, transportation and traffic, and
hazardous materials and waste. Relevant
and reasonable measures that could
avoid or mitigate environmental impacts
have been analyzed.
The Bureau is consulting with the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act
and with the Kentucky Heritage Council
under Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act. When
complete, results of these ongoing
consultations will be included in the
Final Supplemental RFEIS.
A notice of availability of the Draft
Supplemental RFEIS and a notice of
public meeting is being published in the
area newspapers to identify further
details about the public meeting and the
specific opportunities and methods for
the public to provide comments on the
Draft Supplemental RFEIS. The mailing
list for the Draft Supplemental RFEIS
was based on the mailing list in the
2016 RFEIS. Those on this list will
receive a copy of the Draft
Supplemental RFEIS. This list includes
local, state, and federal agencies with
jurisdiction, elected officials and
community leaders, businesses and
organizations, and other interested
parties and individuals. Anyone
wishing to be added to the mailing list
to receive a copy of the Draft
Supplemental RFEIS may request to be
added by contacting the Bureau’s Site
Selection Specialist at the address
below. Following completion of the 45day public comment period on the Draft
Supplemental RFEIS, the Bureau will
issue a Final Supplemental RFEIS that
will include comments received during
the public comment period on the Draft
Supplemental RFEIS. The Final
Supplemental RFEIS will also include
the Bureau’s response to substantive
comments received on the Draft
Supplemental RFEIS. Following
publication of the Final Supplemental
RFEIS, a 30-day review period will be
provided. No action will be taken to
implement any of the proposed
alternatives until completion of the 30-
