Nature of Decision To Be Made
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Based on the purpose and need, the
Responsible Official will review the
proposed action, the other alternatives,
the environmental consequences, and
public comments in order to make the
decision: (1) Whether to implement the
proposed activities; and if so, how much
and at what specific locations; (2) What,
if any, specific project monitoring
requirements are needed to assure
project design criteria and mitigation
measures are implemented and
effective, and to evaluate the success of
the project objectives.
National Institute of Food and
Agriculture
Scoping Process
This notice of intent initiates the
scoping process, which guides the
development of the environmental
impact statement. The interdisciplinary
team will continue to seek information
and comments from Federal, State, and
local agencies, Tribal governments, and
other individuals or organizations that
may be interested in, or affected by, the
proposed action. There is a collaborative
group in the area that the
interdisciplinary team will interact with
during the analysis process.
It is important that reviewers provide
their comments at such times and in
such manner that they are useful to the
agency’s preparation of the
environmental impact statement.
Therefore, comments should be
provided prior to the close of the
comment period and should clearly
articulate the reviewer’s concerns and
contentions.
Comments received in response to
this solicitation, including names and
addresses of those who comment, will
be part of the public record for this
proposed action. Comments submitted
anonymously will be accepted and
considered, however, anonymous
comments will not afford the Agency
with the ability to provide the
respondent with subsequent
environmental documents, nor will
those who submit anonymous
comments have standing to object to the
subsequent decision under 36 CFR 218.
