the fish using beach seines and electrofishing equipment. All listed fish would immediately be released or, if necessary, allowed to recover in aerated buckets from the effects of being captured and then released. The research would benefit listed coho by generating genetics information that would be used to help inform a Siletz River watershed assessment, a limiting factors analysis for salmonids in the River, and future habitat restoration projects. The researchers are not proposing to kill any of the fish they capture, but a small number may die as an unintended result of the research activities.

Permit 18569

The CTSI are seeking a one-year permit that would allow them to take juvenile threatened OC coho and adult eulachon while conducting research designed to examine the effectiveness of estuarine restoration actions in the Tillamook and Siuslaw estuaries in Oregon. The researchers would use seines and hoop traps to capture the target fish and underwater cameras to observe them. The underwater videography would be used specifically to reduce the amount of fish handling. If fewer than 25 fish are captured in a net or trap, then they would typically be counted while still in the net’s bag and released without being removed from the water. If more than 25 fish are captured, the fish would be placed in five-gallon containers with mesh sides that allow water from the channel to pass through them. Fewer than 40 fish would be kept in each container. Multiple (or larger) containers would be used if more fish are present. Some fish (25 salmonids per month) would be anesthetized and measured and they would then be allowed to recover and released. The researchers are not proposing to kill any of the fish they capture, but a small may die as an unintended result of the activities.

Permit 18579

The Ochoco National Forest (NF) is seeking a five-year permit that would allow them to take juvenile MCR steelhead while conducting several monitoring activities in the Deschutes and John Day River watersheds in Oregon. The researchers would use backpack electrofishing units to capture the fish in several small tributaries to the two rivers. The fish would then be identified, measured, and immediately released; no anesthesia would be used. The research would benefit listed species by generating information that the Ochoco NF would use to locate and design habitat restoration projects and manage grazing allotments in ways that minimize effects on salmonids. The researchers are not proposing to kill any of the fish they capture, but a few individuals may die as an unintended result of the activities.

Permit 18696

The Idaho Power company is seeking a five-year permit to annually capture juvenile white sturgeon in Lower Granite Reservoir. The researchers would use small-mesh gill net sets to capture the fish. The nets would be fished at times (October and November) and in areas (the bottom of the reservoir) that have purposefully been chosen to have the least possible impact on listed fish. When the nets are pulled to the surface, listed species would immediately be released (including by cutting the net, if necessary) and allowed to return to the reservoir. The research targets a species that is not listed, but the research should benefit listed salmonids by generating information about the habitat conditions in Lower Granite Reservoir and by helping managers develop conservation plans for the species that inhabit it. The researchers are not proposing to kill any of the fish they capture, but a small number of individuals may be killed as an inadvertent result of the activities.

This notice is provided pursuant to section 10(c) of the ESA. NMFS will evaluate the applications, associated documents, and comments submitted to determine whether the applications meet the requirements of section 10(a) of the ESA and Federal regulations. The final permit decisions will not be made until after the end of the 30-day comment period. NMFS will publish notice of its final action in the Federal Register

**Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Implementation of Energy,**  **Water, and Solid Waste Sustainability Initiatives at Fort Bliss, TX and NM** 

**AGENCY :**  Department of the Army, DoD.

**ACTION :**  Notice of Availability.

**SUMMARY :**  The Department of the Army announces the availability of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the implementation of energy, water, and solid waste sustainability initiatives at Fort Bliss, Texas and New Mexico. The Department proposes to implement Net Zero energy, water, and waste initiatives at Fort Bliss, which would also facilitate meeting mandates for renewable energy production and greenhouse gas emissions reductions. In so implementing Net Zero, the Army will enhance Fort Bliss’ energy and water security, supporting the military mission into the future. Although some training land would be converted to other uses, Fort Bliss would not lose any overall training capability as a result of Net Zero project implementation. The Proposed Action consists of multiple, related, and interconnected projects to achieve Net Zero goals, comply with federal and Army energy mandates, and meet the Army’s energy and water security objectives.

The proposed action has six alternatives. The Final EIS indicates that there could be significant impacts to air quality, vegetation, archeological sites, soils, land use, and traffic. Of these, all but land use (as a result of converting training land to developed land) are anticipated to be mitigable to less than significant.

**DATES :**  The waiting period for the Final EIS will end 30 days after publication of the Notice of Availability in the Federal Register by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, at which time the Army may execute a record of decision.

**ADDRESSES :**  Written comments may be addressed to Dr. John Kipp, Fort Bliss Directorate of Public Works, Attention: IMBL–PWE (Kipp), Building 624 Pleasonton Road, Fort Bliss, TX 79916; email: john.m.kipp6.civ@mail.mil; fax: (915) 568–3548.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Please contact Ms. Donita Kelley, Fort Bliss Public Affairs Office, Attention: IMBL–PA (Kelley), Building 15 Slater Road, Fort Bliss, TX 79916; phone: (915) 568–4505; email: donita.k.schexnaydre.civ@mail.mil.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The Army examined the potential environmental and socioeconomic impacts from implementing multiple, related, and interconnected proposed projects that could be taken to implement Net Zero energy, water, and waste initiatives, comply with federal and Army energy mandates, and meet the Army’s energy and water security objectives. Not all projects analyzed in the Final EIS would be implemented to the full extent discussed in the document. Technological advancements, legislative changes, and other factors may result in revisions to the proposed projects.

The preferred alternative (Proposed Action) consists of six action alternatives (Alternatives 2 through 7): Implementation of conservation policies and procedures (Alternative 2); construction of a water reclamation pipeline (Alternative 3); construction and operation of a waste-to-energy plant (Alternative 4); construction and operation of a geothermal energy facility
