11, the Omnibus Public Lands 

Management Act of 2009); (3) The 

Endangered Species Act, as amended 

and (4) the analysis found in the FEIS. 

The BLM encourages comments 

concerning the Applicants’ new 

proposed routes for Segments 8 and 9, 

the routes previously analyzed in the 

FEIS, feasible alternative locations, 

possible mitigation and enhancement 

measures, and any other information 

relevant to the proposed action. You 

may submit comments in writing to the 

BLM at any public scoping meeting or 

at any time by using one of the methods 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

notice. Public scoping meetings will be 

conducted in an ‘‘open house’’ format 

with the BLM staff and project 

Applicants available to explain project 

details and gather information from 

interested individuals or groups. You 

should submit comments by the close of 

the 30-day scoping period or 15 days 

after the last public meeting, whichever 

is later. 

The BLM will reach out to the 

consulting parties who participated in 

and/or signed the Programmatic 

Agreement (PA) for Segments 1–7, and 

10 to assist the agency in satisfying the 

public involvement requirements under 

Section 106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act (NHPA) (16 U.S.C. 

470(f)) pursuant to 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3). 

The information about historic and 

cultural resources within the area 

potentially affected by the proposed 

action will assist the BLM in identifying 

and evaluating impacts to such 

resources in the context of both NEPA 

and Section 106 of the NHPA. The 

information received will be used to 

modify the PA to clearly capture the 

issues and mitigation for Segments 8 

and 9. 

The BLM will consult with Indian 

tribes on a government-to-government 

basis in accordance with Executive 

Order 13175 and other policies. Tribal 

concerns, including impacts on Indian 

trust assets and potential impacts to 

cultural resources, will be given due 

consideration. Federal, State, and local 

agencies, along with tribes and other 

stakeholders that may be interested in or 

affected by the proposed action that the 

BLM is evaluating, are invited to 

participate in the scoping process and, 

if eligible, may request or be requested 

by the BLM to participate in the 

development of the environmental 

analysis as a cooperating agency. 

All comment submittals must include 

the commenter’s name and street 

address. Before including your address, 

phone number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. The minutes and list of attendees 

for each scoping meeting will be 

available to the public and open for 30 

days after the meeting to any participant 

who wishes to clarify the views he or 

she expressed. 

Any persons wishing to be added to 

a mailing list of interested parties can 

call or write to BLM, as described in this 

notice. Additional information meetings 

may be conducted throughout the 

process to keep the public informed of 

the progress of the supplemental EIS.

Notice of Availability of the Final 

Resource Management Plan and 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Contra Loma Reservoir and 

Recreation Area, Antioch, CA—Central 

Valley Project 

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Reclamation 

(Reclamation) has prepared a Final 

Resource Management Plan and 

Environmental Impact Statement (RMP/ 

EIS) for the Contra Loma Reservoir and 

Recreation Area to establish uniform 

policy and land management guidelines 

that promote an organized use, 

development, and management of the 

Contra Loma Reservoir and the 

surrounding recreational area lands. 

DATES: Reclamation will not make a 

decision on the proposed action until at 

least 30 days after release of the Final 

RMP/EIS. After the 30-day waiting 

period, Reclamation will complete a 

Record of Decision (ROD). The ROD will 

state the action that will be 

implemented and will discuss all factors 

leading to the decision. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments on the 

Final RMP/EIS should be sent to Mr. 

David Woolley, Bureau of Reclamation, 

1243 N Street, SCC–450, Fresno, 

California, 93720; or via email to 

dwoolley@usbr.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

David Woolley, Bureau of Reclamation, 

at the above address; via email at 

dwoolley@usbr.gov; or at (559) 487–

projdetails.cfm?Project_ID=6396. See 

the Supplementary Information section 

for locations where copies of the Final 

RMP/EIS are available for public review. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final 

RMP/EIS will guide future land 

resources management to ensure land 

and waters of the United States are 

maintained and protected as provided 

for under the authorizing purposes over 

a given period of time. This process is 

intended to establish uniform policy 

and land management guidelines that 

promote an organized use, development, 

and management of the Contra Loma 

Reservoir and the surrounding 

recreational area lands. These areas will 

be compatible with scenic surroundings 

and applicable Federal and State laws. 

An RMP incorporates into one 

document all the information pertinent 

to the future guidance of a management 

area and may serve as, but not limited 

to, the basis for future resource decision 

making for the management area. The 

RMP is to chart the biological, physical, 

and social condition that Reclamation 

desires to see once all the RMP 

management actions have been 

implemented. In addition, the RMP 

provides sufficient detailed ways to 

efficiently and equitably provide 

recreational opportunities to meet 

public demand within its intended 

planning lifespan. 

A Notice of Availability of the Draft 

EIS/EIR was published in the Federal 

Register on May 2, 2014 (79 FR 25151). 

The comment period on the Draft RMP/ 

EIS ended on July 1, 2014. The Final
