SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (42

Wildlife Service (Service) advises the 

public that we intend to perform a 

scoping process to gather information 

necessary to help develop a NEPA 

document and determine whether to 

prepare an Environmental Assessment 

(EA) or an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) on the proposed Habitat 

Conservation Plan (HCP) for the former 

Fort Ord Federal military installation in 

Monterey County, California. The 

decision to prepare an EIS or EA is, in 

part, contingent upon the complexity of 

issues identified during and following 

the scoping phase of the NEPA process. 

The proposed Fort Ord HCP is being 

prepared in compliance with the 

Federal Endangered Species Act of 

1973, as amended (ESA) (16 U.S.C. 1531 

et seq.). 

The HCP is meant to support the 

issuance of incidental take permits to

State Parks, University of California at 

Santa Cruz, California State University 

at Monterey Bay, and the County of 

Monterey (the Applicants) from the 

Service under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the 

ESA and from the California Department 

of Fish and Game (CDFG) under section 

2081 of the California Fish and Game 

Code in compliance with the California 

Endangered Species Act (CESA). 

We provide this notice to: 

(1) Advise other Federal and State 

agencies, affected tribes, and the public 

of our intent to prepare an EA or an EIS; 

(2) Announce the initiation of a 30-

day public scoping period; and 

(3) Obtain suggestions and 

information on the scope of issues and 

alternatives to be considered in the 

scoping process.

DATES: Public scoping meetings will be 

held on: Wednesday, October 13, 2004, 

from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. and 7 p.m.

received on or before October 29, 2004.

ADDRESSES: The public meeting will be 

held in the FORA Conference Facility/

2925, Marina, CA 93933. Information, 

written comments, or questions related 

to the preparation of the EA or EIS and 

the NEPA process should be submitted 

to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
