30608 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 93 / Friday, May 12, 2000 / Notices

assessed for each alternative.

Establishing the proposed Homeland

would entail specific legislation. If

approved, the plan will guide

management actions in the transfer of

lands and the development of

cooperative agreements.

PROPOSAL: The proposed Timbisha

Shoshone Homeland (Alternative APreferred) would transfer approximately

7,500 acres of federal lands (currently

managed by Death Valley National Park

and the Bureau of Land Management in

California and Nevada) into trust with

the Department of the Interior for the

creation of a tribal homeland.

Permission would be sought for

acquisition of two parcels of

approximately 120 acres of former

Indian allotted lands in Saline Valley,

California, and approximately 2,430

acres near Lida, Nevada, from private

owners, as willing sellers.

Alternatives

Alternative B maintains the status

quo, as described in Chapter 3,

Description of Environment and

Affected Resources. It provides a

baseline from which to compare and

evaluate the magnitude of proposed

changes, and to measure the foreseeable

environmental effects of those changes.

This no-action concept follows the

guidance of the Council on

Environmental Quality, which describes

the no-action alternative as no change

from the current management direction

or level of management intensity.

Planning Background

The draft Timbisha Shoshone

Homeland LEIS was prepared pursuant

to the National Environmental Policy

Act. Although scoping is not required

for the preparation of a LEIS, an

understanding of public concerns was

desired. Accordingly, a notice of

availability was published in the

National Register on April 19, 1999

announcing to the public the

opportunity of commenting on the Draft

Secretarial Report. The release of the

report assisted the agencies in gathering

public input, which aided in the

analysis subsequently undertaken in

preparing the LEIS. In addition, six

public meetings were conducted and

five informational meetings were held at

the request of state congressional

delegations and county commissioners

and supervisors. Over 550 letters were

received during the public review

period providing details on a wide

spectrum of regulatory, socioeconomic,

and environmental issues. A Scoping

Summary document was prepared to

identify issues directly related to

resource management and the regulatory

process to be addressed in the LEIS. In

October 1999, a copy of the 11-page

Scoping Summary Document was

mailed to everyone who attended the

public meetings or commented during

the process.

Public Meetings

At this time, it is anticipated that four

public meetings will be held during

June, 2000. Confirmed dates, times, and

locations will be posted on the internet

(see below), and published in local and

regional newspapers several weeks in

advance. Participants are encouraged to

review the document prior to attending

a meeting. Representatives from the

Department of Interior, Timbisha

Shoshone Tribe, Death Valley National

Park, and the Bureau of Land

Management will attend all sessions to

present the draft Timbisha Shoshone

Homeland LEIS, to receive oral and

written comments, and to answer

questions.

Comments

The draft Timbisha Shoshone

Homeland LEIS will be sent directly to

the project mailing list. Copies will be

available at park headquarter at Furnace

Creek, field offices of BLM Ridgecrest,

California and Tonopah, Nevada, and at

local and regional libraries. Also,

volume 1 of the LEIS will be posted on

the internet at http://

www3.iwvisp.com/blm/report. Written

comments must be postmarked or

transmitted by e-mail not later than 60-

days after EPA publishes its ‘‘Friday

listing’’ of the filing of the LEIS

(anticipated deadline being

approximately July 22, 2000) and

should be addressed to the

Superintendent, Death Valley National

Park, P.O. Box 579, Death Valley,

California 92328.

All comments received will be

available for public review in the parks

library. If individuals submitting

comments request that their name or/

and address be withheld from public

disclosure, it will be honored to the

extent allowable by law. Such requests

must be stated prominently in the

beginning of the comments. There may

also be circumstances wherein the NPS

will withhold a respondent’s identity as

allowable by law. As always: NPS will

make available to public inspection all

submissions from organizations or

businesses and from persons identifying

themselves as representatives or

officials of organizations and

businesses, and anonymous comments

may not be considered.

Decision Process

Depending upon the degree of public

interest and response from other

agencies and organizations, at this time

it is anticipated that the Final Timbisha

Shoshone Homeland LEIS will be

completed during the late summer-early

fall of 2000. Availability of the

document will be duly noticed in the

Federal Register. Subsequently, notice

of an approved Record of Decision

would be published in the Federal

Register not sooner than thirty (30) days

after the final document is distributed.

This is expected to occur by late fall

2000.

The Department officials responsible

for approval are: the Assistant Secretary

for Fish, Wildlife and Parks; the

Assistant Secretary for Land and

Minerals Management; and the

Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs. It

is anticipated that the proposal would

be submitted by the Secretary of the

Interior to Congress for consideration. If

enacted, the National Park Service

officials responsible for implementation

would be the Superintendent, Death

Valley National Park and the Regional

Director, Pacific West Region; as well as

the State Directors, Bureau of Land

Management, Nevada and California;

the Assistant Secretary for Indian

Affairs; and the Bureau of Indian

Affairs, Central California Agency.

Regional Director, Pacific West Region.
