homeless.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with 24 CFR part 581 and 

section 501 of the Stewart B. McKinney 

Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 

11411), as amended, HUD is publishing 

this Notice to identify Federal buildings 

and other real property that HUD has 

reviewed for suitability for use to assist 

the homeless. The properties were 

reviewed using information provided to 

HUD by Federal landholding agencies 

regarding unutilized and underutilized 

buildings and real property controlled 

by such agencies or by GSA regarding 

its inventory of excess or surplus 

Federal property. This Notice is also 

published in order to comply with the 

December 12, 1988 Court Order in 

National Coalition for the Homeless v. 

Veterans Administration, No. 88–2503– 

OG (D.D.C.). 

Properties reviewed are listed in this 

Notice according to the following 

categories: Suitable/available, suitable/ 

unavailable, suitable/to be excess, and 

unsuitable. The properties listed in the 

three suitable categories have been 

reviewed by the landholding agencies, 

and each agency has transmitted to 

HUD: (1) Its intention to make the 

property available for use to assist the 

homeless, (2) its intention to declare the 

property excess to the agency’s needs, or 

(3) a statement of the reasons that the 

property cannot be declared excess or 

made available for use as facilities to 

assist the homeless. 

Properties listed as suitable/available 

will be available exclusively for 

homeless use for a period of 60 days 

from the date of this Notice. Where 

property is described as for ‘‘off-site use 

only’’ recipients of the property will be 

required to relocate the building to their 

own site at their own expense. 

Homeless assistance providers 

interested in any such property should 

send a written expression of interest to 

HHS, addressed to Theresa Ritta, 

Division of Property Management, 

Program Support Center, HHS, room 

5B–17, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, 

MD 20857; (301) 443–2265. (This is not 

a toll-free number.) HHS will mail to the 

interested provider an application 

packet, which will include instructions 

for completing the application. In order 

to maximize the opportunity to utilize a 

suitable property, providers should 

submit their written expressions of 

interest as soon as possible. For 

complete details concerning the 

processing of applications, the reader is 

encouraged to refer to the interim rule 

governing this program, 24 CFR part 

581. 

For properties listed as suitable/to be 

excess, that property may, if 

subsequently accepted as excess by 

GSA, be made available for use by the 

homeless in accordance with applicable 

law, subject to screening for other 

Federal use. At the appropriate time, 

HUD will publish the property in a 

Notice showing it as either suitable/ 

available or suitable/unavailable. 

For properties listed as suitable/ 

unavailable, the landholding agency has 

decided that the property cannot be 

declared excess or made available for 

use to assist the homeless, and the 

property will not be available. 

Properties listed as unsuitable will 

not be made available for any other 

purpose for 20 days from the date of this 

Notice. Homeless assistance providers 

interested in a review by HUD of the 

determination of unsuitability should 

call the toll free information line at 1– 

800–927–7588 for detailed instructions 

or write a letter to Mark Johnston at the 

address listed at the beginning of this 

Notice. Included in the request for 

review should be the property address 

(including zip code), the date of 

publication in the Federal Register, the 

landholding agency, and the property 

number. 

For more information regarding 

particular properties identified in this 

Notice (i.e., acreage, floor plan, existing 

sanitary facilities, exact street address), 

providers should contact the 

appropriate landholding agencies at the 

following addresses: ARMY: Ms.

Army, Office of the Assistant Chief of 

Staff for Installation Management,

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability; request 

for public comments. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), announce the 

availability of a draft environmental 

impact statement and environmental 

impact report (EIS/EIR) for the Llano 

Seco Riparian Sanctuary Unit 

Restoration and Pumping Plant/Fish 

Screen Facility Protection Project in 

Glenn and Butte Counties, California. 

The proposed project includes riparian 

restoration and protection of the 

Princeton-Cordora-Glenn and Provident 

Irrigation Districts (PCGID–PID) 

pumping plant and fish screen facility. 

The draft EIS/EIR, which we prepared 

in cooperation with the California 

Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) 

and now announce in accordance with 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

of 1969 (NEPA), describes the 

alternatives identified to protect the 

pumping plant and fish screen facility 

located at river mile 178.5 on the 

Sacramento River, and to restore the 

Riparian Sanctuary Unit of the 

Sacramento River National Wildlife 

Refuge. 

DATES: We must receive written 

comments at the address below on or 

before June 25, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: The draft EIS/EIR is 

available at:

Refuge Complex, 752 County Road 99

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Llano Seco Riparian Sanctuary 

Unit was acquired by the Service in 

1991 and added to the Sacramento River 

National Wildlife Refuge. The Service 

acquired the Llano Seco Riparian 

Sanctuary Unit as part of the Joint 

Management Agreement between Parrot 

Investment Co., The Nature 

Conservancy, California Department of 

Fish and Game, and the Service to 

cooperatively manage lands on the 

Llano Seco Ranch. The Llano Seco 

Riparian Sanctuary Unit is one piece of 

the larger Llano Seco Ranch, and was 

cleared of riparian vegetation for 

agricultural production by the previous 

landowner during the 1970s. Although 

the property has been out of agricultural 

production for close to 15 years, the 

habitat remains dominated by nonnative 

and invasive noxious weeds. Currently, 

just over 200 acres is farmed to dryland 

row crops to help control nonnative 

weeds. 

Prior to acquisition by the Service, 

rock revetment was placed on the north 

end of the Llano Seco Riparian 

Sanctuary Unit by the Department of 

Water Resources in 1985 and 1986. The 

rock was placed in order to lock the 

Sacramento River in place ensuring that 

flood flows would continue to be 

diverted from the Sacramento River 

through the Goose Lake overflow 

structure and into the Butte Basin. 

When the Service acquired the ranch 

property in 1991, we did so with the 

understanding that our management 

activities would not impact the Goose 

Lake overflow structure that diverts 

flood water into the Butte Basin. 

Since the placement of rock revetment 

in 1986, the natural riverbank that is 

south of the revetment has eroded 

approximately 600 feet. The erosion on 

refuge property is directly across from 

the PCGID–PID pumping plant and fish 

screening facility. In 1999, the PCGID– 

PID consolidated three pumping plants 

into one new facility equipped with 

state-of-the-art fish screens. The fishscreening efficiency of the new PCGID– 

PID pumping plant is now endangered 

by the bank erosion on the refuge 

property and the migration of the 

Sacramento River. Although the rock 

revetment on the north edge of refuge 

property is decades old and eroding, it 

plays a key role in protecting the 

PCGID–PID pumping plant. As the bank 

erodes, the angle of flow and velocity of 

the water passing the screens will 

change, trapping fish against the screen 

rather than sweeping them past.
