Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 236 / Friday, December 8, 2006 / Rules and Regulations 71051 

(1) When preparing an EA, EIS, or FONSI, 

USMS personnel in charge of preparing the 

document will invite comment from affected 

Federal, tribal, State, local agencies, and 

other interested persons, as early as the 

scoping process; 

(2) The USMS will disseminate 

information to potentially interested or 

affected parties, such as local communities 

and Indian tribes, through such means as 

news releases to various local media, 

announcements to local citizens groups, 

public hearings, and posted signs near the 

affected area; 

(3) The USMS will mail notice to those 

individuals or groups who have requested 

one on a specific action or similar actions; 

(4) For matters of national concern, the 

USMS will publish notification in the 

Federal Register, and will send notification 

by mail to national organizations reasonably 

expected to be interested; 

(5) If a decision is made to develop an EIS, 

the USMS will publish a NOI in the Federal 

Register as soon as possible; 

(6) The personnel in charge of preparing 

the NEPA analysis and documentation will 

invite public comment and maintain twoway communication channels throughout the 

NEPA process, provide explanations of 

where interested parties can obtain 

information on status reports of the NEPA 

process and other relevant documents, and 

keep all public affairs officers informed; 

(7) The USMS will establish a Web site to 

keep the public informed; and 

(8) During the NEPA process, responsible 

personnel will consult with local government 

and tribal officials, leaders of citizen groups, 

and members of identifiable population 

segments within the potentially affected 

environment, such as farmers and ranchers, 

homeowners, small business owners, 

minority and disadvantaged communities, 

and tribal members. 

10. Scoping 

Prior to starting the NEPA analysis, USMS 

personnel responsible for preparing either an 

EA or EIS, shall engage in an early scoping 

process to identify the significant issues to be 

examined in depth, and to identify and 

eliminate from detailed study those issues 

which are not significant or which have been 

adequately addressed by prior environmental 

review. The scoping process should identify 

any other environmental analyses being 

conducted relevant to the proposed action, 

address timing and set time limits with 

respect to the NEPA process, set page limits, 

designate respective responsibilities among 

the lead and cooperating agencies, identify 

any other environmental review and 

consultation requirements to allow for 

integration with the NEPA analysis, and hold 

an early scoping meeting that may be 

integrated with other initial planning 

meetings. 

11. Mitigation and Monitoring 

USMS personnel, who are responsible for 

preparing NEPA analyses and documents, 

will consider mitigation measures to avoid or 

minimize environmental harm. EAs and EISs 

will consider reasonable mitigation measures 

relevant to the proposed action and 

alternatives. Paragraph 5(b) of this Appendix 

describes the requirements for documenting 

mitigation measures in a ROD. 

12. Supplementing an EA or EIS 

When substantial changes are made to a 

proposed action that is relevant to 

environmental concerns, a supplement will 

be prepared for an EA or a draft or a final 

EIS. A supplement will also be prepared 

when significant new circumstances arise or 

new relevant information surfaces 

concerning and bearing upon the proposed 

action or its impacts. Any necessary 

supplement shall be processed in the same 

way as an original EA or EIS, with the 

exception that new scoping is not required. 

Any supplement shall be added to the formal 

administrative record, if such record exists. 

13. Compliance With Other Environmental 

Statutes 

To the extent practicable, a NEPA 

document shall include information 

necessary to assure compliance with all 

applicable environmental statutes.
