TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY 

Shoreline Management Initiative, 

Reservoirs in Alabama, Georgia, 

Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, 

Tennessee, and Virginia; Amendment 

to Record of Decision (ROD) 

AGENCY: Tennessee Valley Authority 

(TVA). 

ACTION: Issuance of Amendment to ROD. 

SUMMARY: This notice is provided in 

accordance with the Council on 

Environmental Quality’s regulations (40 

CFR parts 1500 to 1508) and TVA’s 

procedures implementing the National 

Environmental Policy Act. In 1999, TVA 

adopted its current Shoreline 

Management Policy (SMP) to implement 

the preferred alternative in the 

November 1998 environmental impact 

statement (EIS) for the Shoreline 

Management Initiative (SMI). On August 

20, 2009, the TVA Board of Directors 

decided to amend SMP to terminate the 

‘‘Maintain and Gain’’ program, which 


sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
10866 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 9, 2010 / Notices 

allowed for the exchange of shoreline 

access rights of equal or greater value. 

TVA determined that the environmental 

impacts of the modification of SMP 

would not materially differ from the 

impacts quantified in the original EIS 

and that the effect of removing the 

Maintain and Gain provision is 

adequately addressed in the EIS. The 

environmental and project goals of the 

SMI and SMP would still be met 

without the Maintain and Gain program. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Charles P. Nicholson, Program Manager, 

NEPA Compliance, Environment and 

Technology, Tennessee Valley 

Authority, 400 West Summit Hill Drive, 

WT 11D, Knoxville, Tennessee 37902– 

1499; telephone (865) 632–3582 or email cpnicholson@tva.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1999, 

TVA adopted SMP to implement the 

April 1999 TVA Board decision to adopt 

the preferred alternative (Blended 

Alternative) of the November 1998 EIS 

entitled ‘‘Shoreline Management 

Initiative: An Assessment of Residential 

Shoreline Development Impacts in the 

Tennessee Valley.’’ In June 1999, TVA 

published a ROD in the Federal Register 

(64 FR 300092, June 4, 1999) reflecting 

this decision. The Blended Alternative 

emphasized conservation of shoreline 

resources and no net loss of public 

lands while providing for reasonable 

access and compatible use of the 

shoreline by adjacent residents. It also 

included the Maintain and Gain 

program that allowed TVA to consider 

requests from property owners without 

shoreline access rights to obtain those 

rights in exchange for eliminating 

shoreline access rights of equal or 

preferably greater length and value; 

such exchanges would result in no net 

loss, or preferably a net gain, of public 

shoreline. 

TVA recently reviewed the Maintain 

and Gain program. Since its inception in 

1999, TVA has approved nine Maintain 

and Gain requests for the exchange of 

water access rights on TVA reservoirs, 

which have resulted in only a small 

increase in the amount of shoreline 

protected. The closing of 7,113 linear 

feet of shoreline for private water use 

access rights and opening 6,036 linear 

feet of shoreline access rights to private 

landowners has yielded a net gain of 

1,077 linear feet of shoreline closed to 

residential water use access. Overall, 

this is less than one-tenth of 1 percent 

of the 4,100 miles of shoreline available 

for private water use throughout the 

Tennessee Valley. 

The Maintain and Gain program was 

used infrequently, and the decisions 

required to be made thereunder were 

vulnerable to some inconsistency. TVA 

has determined that the elimination of 

the Maintain and Gain program would 

have minor and insignificant 

environmental impacts and that such 

impacts would not significantly differ 

from the impacts quantified in the 

original EIS. The environmental and 

project goals of the SMI and SMP would 

still be met. Consequently, the TVA 

Board of Directors terminated the 

Maintain and Gain program on August 

20, 2009. The termination of the 

Maintain and Gain program does not 

affect the other key components of SMP, 

such as the use of vegetation 

management plans, limits to the size of 

residential water use facilities, use of 

shoreline management zones, 

management of access/view corridor 

size, use of best management practices 

for construction, management of 

vegetation, stabilization of shoreline 

erosion, and education activities.

provides notice that on February 17, 

2010, the Commission’s Executive 

Director granted a limited waiver of 

Section 1605 of the American Recovery 

and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery 

Act), Public Law 111–5, 123 Stat. 115, 

303 (2009) with respect to certain water 

quality treatment and monitoring 

equipment that will be used in a project 

funded under the Recovery Act (Pub. L. 

111–5) and implemented through the 

Central Utah Project Completion Act 

Program (CUPCA). 

DATES: The Recovery Act Buy American 

waiver was signed February 17, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with section 1605(c) of the 

Recovery Act and with section 176.80 of 

Title 2 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations, the Commission hereby 

provides notice that on February 17, 

2010, the Executive Director granted a 

limited waiver of section 1605 of the 

Recovery Act (Buy American provision) 

with respect to certain water quality 

treatment and monitoring equipment 

components that will be used in a 

project funded under the Recovery Act. 

The basis for this waiver is a nonavailability determination pursuant to 

section 1605(b)(2) of the Recovery Act. 

I. Background 

Agreement No. 09FCUT–RA04 June 

Sucker Facility Improvements— 

Fisheries Experiment Station between 

the Commission and the State of Utah, 

Division of Wildlife Resources 

(Division) was entered into pursuant to 

the Recovery Act, for the purpose of 

funding hatchery improvements for 

culture of June sucker, an endangered 

species. The hatchery improvements 

include expansion of a recirculation 

system that allows optimal water 

temperatures for culture of June sucker. 

The recirculation system requires water 

treatment and water quality monitoring. 

In Section 1605(a) of the Recovery 

Act, the Buy American provision states 

that none of the funds appropriated by 

the Act, ‘‘may be used for a project for 

the construction, alteration, 

maintenance or repair of a public 

building or public work unless all of the 

iron, steel, and manufactured goods 

used in the project are produced in the 

United States.’’ 

Subsections 1605(b) and (c) of the 

Recovery Act authorize the head of a 

Federal department or agency to waive 

the Buy American provision by finding 

that: (1) Applying the provision would 

be inconsistent with the public interest; 

(2) the relevant goods are not produced 

in the United States in sufficient and 

reasonably available quantities and of a 

satisfactory quality; or, (3) the inclusion 

of the goods produced in the United 

States will increase the cost of the 

project by more than 25 percent. If the 

head of a Federal department or agency 

waives the Buy American provision, 

then the head is required to publish a
