NACEPT Subcommittee on Promoting Environmental Stewardship
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92-463,
EPA gives notice of a meeting of the NACEPT Subcommittee on Promoting
Environmental Stewardship.
The purpose of the Subcommittee on Promoting Environmental
Stewardship (SPES) of the National Advisory Council for Environmental
Policy and Technology (NACEPT) is to advise the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency on how to promote environmental stewardship practices
that encompass all environmental aspects of an organization in the
regulated community and other sectors, as appropriate, in order to
enhance human health and environmental protection. A copy of the
meeting agenda will be posted at http://epa.gov/ncei/dialogue.htm. This
Web site also includes the charge of the SPES, which provides further
information about the purpose of the Subcommittee.
The agenda for the subject meeting will focus on discussions among
the three current Subcommittee workgroups: (1) Gap Analysis Workgroup,
which is exploring how stewardship activities may accomplish Agency
goals that are not covered by statute or regulation; (2) Short-term
Recommendations Workgroup, which is looking at relatively simple and
quick actions for EPA to implement in the short term to promote
stewardship; and (3) Long-term Recommendations Workgroup, which is
exploring EPA's role in addressing issues that invite and require a
cross-sector, cross-media, and long-term perspective (e.g., climate
change and energy use).
DATES: The NACEPT Subcommittee on Promoting Environmental Stewardship
will hold an open meeting on October 6 (8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.) and October
7, 2009 (8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.) Eastern standard time.
ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at the EPA Office of Pesticide
Programs, One Potomac Yard, Conference Center South (Room S-4370-80,
Fourth Floor), 2777 S. Crystal Dr., Arlington, VA 22202. The meeting is
open to the public, with limited seating on a first-come, first-served
basis.

Upper Peninsula Power Company; Notice of Availability of
Environmental Assessment
September 17, 2009.
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR part
380, Commission staff have prepared an environmental assessment (EA)
regarding Upper Peninsula Power Company's request to replace the
penstock at the McClure development of the Dead River Hydroelectric
Project (FERC No. 10855) located on the Dead River in Marquette County,
Michigan.
The EA contains the Commission staff's analysis of the potential
environmental effects of the proposed replacement of the McClure
Penstock and concludes that the proposed penstock replacement, with
appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a
major Federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the
human environment.
Copies of the EA are available for review in the Public Reference
Room 2-A of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426. The EA may also be viewed on the Commission's
Internet Web site (http://www.ferc.gov) using the ``eLibrary'' link.
Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket
number field to access the document. Additional information about the
project is available from the Commission's Office of External Affairs,
at (202) 502-6088, or on the Commission's Web site using the eLibrary
link. For assistance with eLibrary, contact FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov
