ANNOUNCEMENT 3
Subject: HAZ/Nuclear - ND. DOE. Finding of No Significant Impact: Disposition of DOE Excess Depleted Uranium, Natural Uranium, and Low-Enriched Uranium
[Federal Register: July 1, 2009 (Volume 74, Number 125)]
[Notices]

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Finding of No Significant Impact: Disposition of DOE Excess
Depleted Uranium, Natural Uranium, and Low-Enriched Uranium
AGENCY: Department of Energy.
ACTION: Finding of No Significant Impact.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE, the Department) has
completed an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Disposition of DOE
Excess Depleted Uranium (DU), Natural Uranium (NU), and Low-Enriched
Uranium (LEU) (DOE/EA-1607). Based on the analysis in the EA, the
Department has determined that the proposed action, DOE dispositioning
its excess uranium inventory using one or a combination of two
methods--(1) enrichment to either NU or LEU product and subsequent
storage or sale of the resultant NU or LEU product (Enrichment
Alternative), and (2) direct sale to appropriately licensed entities
(Direct Sale Alternative)--does not constitute a major Federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment within the
context of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA).
Therefore, the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
is not required and the Department is issuing this Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI).
ADDRESSES: Single copies of the EA and FONSI may be obtained from:
Mr. Ronald Hagen, NEPA Document Manager, NE-6, Forrestal Building, U.S.
Department of Energy, 1000 Independence Ave., SW., Washington, DC

ANNOUNCEMENT 4
Subject: WATER, LAND - ND. CEQ. Economic and Environmental Principles and Guidelines for Water and Related Land Resources Implementation Studies; Initiation of Revision and Request for Suggested Changes
[Federal Register: July 1, 2009 (Volume 74, Number 125)]
[Notices]

COUNCIL ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
Economic and Environmental Principles and Guidelines for Water
and Related Land Resources Implementation Studies; Initiation of
Revision and Request for Suggested Changes
AGENCY: Council on Environmental Quality.
ACTION: Notice and Request for Suggestions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Section 2031 of the Water Resources Development Act of 2007
(Pub. L. 110-114) directs the Secretary of the Army to revise the
``Economic and Environmental Principles and Guidelines for Water and
Related Land Resources Implementation Studies,'' dated March 10, 1983,
consistent with a number of considerations enumerated in the statute.
The Administration is considering developing uniform planning standards
for the development of water resources that would apply government-
wide, including agencies other than the traditional water resources
development agencies covered under the current Principles and
Guidelines: the Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Reclamation
(Interior), Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA), and
Tennessee Valley Authority. Therefore, the Council on Environmental
Quality (CEQ) will facilitate an interagency drafting of revised
Principles and Guidelines for planning water resources projects that
could be applied government-wide.
Upon completion, the revision would apply to Federal water
resources implementation studies including project reevaluations and
modifications except those commenced prior to the issuance of the
revised guidance. It is intended that the revision will be conducted in
two phases, with the first phase addressing revisions to the 1983
Principles and Standards (Chapter I of the existing Guidelines) and the
second phase addressing revisions to the Procedures (Chapters II
through IV of the 1983 Guidelines). The purpose of this notice is to
provide an opportunity for interested individuals and organizations to
submit suggestions for revising the Principles and Guidelines. Using
that input, CEQ intends for the initial draft of the revision to be
prepared and released for public comments and review by the National
Academy of Sciences.
DATES: CEQ will hold a Webinar to hear public comment on
recommendations to revise the Principles and Guidelines on July 13,
2009, from 1 to 3:30 p.m. EDT. Written suggestions are being accepted
now and will be accepted through the end of the business day, July 17,
2009.
ADDRESSES: Suggestions should be submitted in writing to the Council on
Environmental Quality, Attn: Terry Breyman, 722 Jackson Place, NW.,
Washington, DC 20503 or via e-mail to P&G@ceq.eop.gov or FAX 202-456-
6546.
