Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 201 / Wednesday, October 17, 2018 / Notices
authorize the negotiated terms of the
transfer of each project or facility.
Eligibility for this CE would be
determined by Reclamation, based on
results of on-site inspections, surveys,
and other methods of evaluation and
documentation prepared by
Reclamation to determine the presence
or absence of the exceptions. To
determine that a proposed title transfer
fits within the CE, Reclamation would
review the proposal to determine that
all the following apply:
1. The Departmental extraordinary
circumstances listed at 43 CFR 46.215
would not be triggered by the title
transfer action.
2. The title transfer action would not
change:
a. Operation and maintenance of the
facilities or lands transferred;
b. land or water use.
3. The title transfer action would not
involve any unresolved issue associated
with compliance with interstate
compacts and agreements; meeting the
Secretary’s Native American trust
responsibilities; fulfilling treaty and
international agreement obligations.
Even for a title transfer action that
meets these criteria, Reclamation may,
within its discretion, decide to prepare
an Environmental Assessment (EA) or
an Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) instead of applying the CE.

Basis for Establishing the Categorical
Exclusion
To date, Reclamation has prepared
EAs and made findings of no significant
impact (FONSI) on each of the eight
projects shown below, indicating
location and EA/FONSI date. These EAs
and FONSIs substantiate Reclamation’s
record to demonstrate that no
individually or cumulatively significant
effects are typically attributable to the
eligible types of activities that would be
included in the proposed CE. The EA
and FONSI documentation for the
following projects is available at
www.usbr.gov/title:
1. Clear Creek Unit, Central Valley
Project, California, 1998.
2. Distribution System to Carpinteria
Valley Water District, California, 2000.
3. Distribution System to the
Montecito Water District, California,
2001.
4. Robert B. Griffith Water Project,
Nevada, 2001.
5. McGee Creek, Oklahoma, 2006.
6. Newlands Project Headquarters and
Maintenance Yard Conveyance, Nevada,
2007.
7. Arbuckle (partial), Oklahoma, 2014.
8. Water Distribution System to Goleta
Water District, California, 2007 (transfer
pending).

Reclamation has prepared two EISs on
title transfer proposals and two EAs for
projects that involved more complex
actions than those that would meet the
eligibility criteria. Reclamation has also
prepared 12 EAs and FONSIs on title
transfer proposals for which mitigation
was applied to reduce impacts to less
than significant. Several of these
proposals involved issues of concern
including sites of interest to tribal
communities and adverse effects to
historic properties.
The full complement of these EAs,
FONSIs, and EISs and Reclamation’s
knowledge and experience contribute to
the body of work Reclamation has used
to analyze its title transfer actions and
validate its definition of projects for
which the proposed CE would be used.
Based on the consideration of the types
of projects that meet the eligibility and
exception criteria above, Reclamation
proposes to determine that this category
of actions would not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on
the quality of the human environment.
Reclamation invites comments on this
proposed CE and will consider all
comments received. When Reclamation
makes a determination on establishing a
new CE, the new language would be
incorporated into 516 DM 14 under
internal Departmental administrative
procedures. At that time, Reclamation
intends to employ the same internal
Departmental administrative procedures
to make routine updates to the DM,
including references to regulations and
policies, organizational changes, and
formatting.
