SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Corps operates USAF Lock and Dam, located on the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Section 2010 of Water Resources Reform and Redevelopment Act of 2014, Public Law 113–121, directed the Corps to close the lock to navigation operations but to continue to carry out emergency lock operations necessary to mitigate flood damages. Navigation at the lock ceased on June 9th, 2015. Prior to the closure of USAF, the lock operated as part of a system to support navigation on the upper reaches of the Mississippi River 9-foot navigation channel. Section 216 of the Flood Control Act of 1970 authorizes the Secretary of the Army to review operations of completed projects, when found advisable due to changed physical, economic, or environmental conditions. Disposition studies are a specific type of Section 216 study with the intent to determine whether a water resources development project operated and maintained by the Corps of Engineers should be deauthorized and the associated real property and Government-owned improvements disposed of. The USAF Disposition Study analyzes three primary alternatives at the USAF site: (1) No action; (2) complete deauthorization by Congress of the Federal missions at the site and disposal of the properties according to Federal law; and (3) partial de-authorization and disposal. The partial disposition alternative will maintain the emergency flood mitigation capability of the structure. If the Corps of Engineers determines that Federal interest no longer exists, it must consider, and may recommend, disposal of the project or separable elements of the project under existing authorities. The Disposition Study ends when the final report is approved by the Corps of Engineers’ Headquarters Office. VerDate Sep<11>2014 22:22 Dec 17, 2020 Jkt 253001 Deauthorization would require Congressional Approval. Results of the study are summarized in the draft DR/EA, which includes an analysis of potential environmental effects and concludes the action would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), the Corps is making the draft DR/EA available for public comments and will be holding one or more virtual public meetings summarizing the report prior to the comment deadline via Facebook Live or similar web-based platform.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Corps operates USAF Lock and Dam, 
located on the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Section 
2010 of Water Resources Reform and Redevelopment Act of 2014, Public 
Law 113-121, directed the Corps to close the lock to navigation 
operations but to continue to carry out emergency lock operations 
necessary to mitigate flood damages. Navigation at the lock ceased on 
June 9th, 2015. Prior to the closure of USAF, the lock operated as part 
of a system to support navigation on the upper reaches of the 
Mississippi River 9-foot navigation channel.
    Section 216 of the Flood Control Act of 1970 authorizes the 
Secretary of the Army to review operations of completed projects, when 
found advisable due to changed physical, economic, or environmental 
conditions. Disposition studies are a specific type of Section 216 
study with the intent to determine whether a water resources 
development project operated and maintained by the Corps of Engineers 
should be de-authorized and the associated real property and 
Government-owned improvements disposed of.
    The USAF Disposition Study analyzes three primary alternatives at 
the USAF site: (1) No action; (2) complete de-authorization by Congress 
of the Federal missions at the site and disposal of the properties 
according to Federal law; and (3) partial de-authorization and 
disposal. The partial disposition alternative will maintain the 
emergency flood mitigation capability of the structure. If the Corps of 
Engineers determines that Federal interest no longer exists, it must 
consider, and may recommend, disposal of the project or separable 
elements of the project under existing authorities.
    The Disposition Study ends when the final report is approved by the 
Corps of Engineers' Headquarters Office. Deauthorization would require 
Congressional Approval.
    Results of the study are summarized in the draft DR/EA, which 
includes an analysis of potential environmental effects and concludes 
the action would not constitute a major federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment. In accordance with the 
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), the Corps is making 
the draft DR/EA available for public comments and will be holding one 
or more virtual public meetings summarizing the report prior to the 
comment deadline via Facebook Live or similar web-based platform. 
Additional details on these meeting(s) will be posted at least two 
weeks beforehand on the Saint Paul District's website: https://www.mvp.usace.army.mil/.

    Authority: The District publishes this notice congruent with the 
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA; 42 
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), and its implementing regulations (40 CFR parts 
1500-1508).
