    Recovery: This project will be wholly funded under the American

ACTION: Preliminary Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for Wind 
Turbine Installation to be located at the Angell Job Corps Center, 335 
NE. Blodgett Road, Yachats, Oregon.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations 
(40 CFR part 1500-08) implementing procedural provisions of the 
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Department of Labor, 
Office of the Secretary (OSEC) in accordance with 29 CFR 11.11(d), 
gives notice that an Environmental Assessment (EA) has been prepared 
for a proposed Small Wind Turbine Installation to be located at the 
Angell Job Corps Center, 335 NE. Blodgett Road, Yachats, Oregon, and 
that the proposed plan for the construction of a wind turbine at the 
Angell Job Corps Center will have no significant environmental impact. 
This Preliminary Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) will be made 
available for public review and comment for a period of 30 days.

DATES: Comments must be submitted by October 1, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Any comment(s) are to be submitted to William A. Dakshaw, 
P.E., Division of Facilities and Asset Management, Department of Labor, 
200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Room N-4460, Washington, DC 20210, (202) 
693-2867 (this is not a toll-free number).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Copies of the EA are available to 
interested parties by contacting William A. Dakshaw, P.E., Division of 
Facilities and Asset Management, Department of Labor, 200 Constitution 
Avenue, NW., Room N-4460, Washington, DC 20210, (202) 693-2867 (this is 
not a toll-free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed project includes a renewable 
energy project that will consist of the construction of a 1-20 kW wind 
turbine or 2-10 kW wind turbines. The proposed project will enable the 
Job Corps to generate their own clean power at the facility. The wind 
turbines will be installed on self supporting towers approximately 80 
feet above the ground. The wind turbines will produce clean energy for 
the Angell Job Corps Center, demonstrate renewable energy capabilities 
to Job Corps Students and help the program meet Federal requirements in 
Executive Order 13423 for renewable energy production. This project is 
not expected to have a negative impact on population demographics, the 
surrounding area, environmental quality, or natural systems and 
heritage. Based on the information gathered during the preparation of 
the EA, the construction of a wind turbine at the Angell Job Corps 
Center, 335 NE. Blodgett Road, Yachats, Oregon will not create any 
significant adverse impacts on the environment.

    Dated: August 25, 2009.
Lynn Intrepidi,
Interim National Director of Job Corps.
