Department of Energy March 21, 2008 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On March 5, 2008, the Department of Energy (DOE) published a Notice of Intent in the Federal Register (73 FR 11895) to prepare a supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) to analyze the impacts of potential new locations for certain off site facilities associated with the proposed Strategic Petroleum Reserve expansion site at Richton, Mississippi. That Notice also announced that DOE will hold three meetings at which interested agencies, organizations, Native American tribes, and members of the public may submit comments or suggestions to assist in identifying alternatives, significant environmental issues, and the appropriate scope of the SEIS. DOE now announces that it will hold an additional public scoping meeting, in Perry County, Mississippi. New Public Scoping Meeting: A public scoping meeting will be held at New Augusta, Mississippi, on April 7, 2008, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., at Perry Central High School, 9899 Hwy. 98.
