importation into the United States, the 

sale for importation, and the sale within 

the United States after importation of 

certain 3G wideband code division 

multiple access (WCDMA) handsets and 

components thereof by reason of 

infringement of claims 1, 2, 7–10, 14, 

15, 21, 22, 24, 30–32, 34, 35, 46, 47, 49, 

59, and 60 of U.S. Patent No. 7,117,004; 

claims 7 and 10 of U.S. Patent No. 

6,674,791; and claims 1–4 of U.S. Patent 

No. 6,693,579. The complaint further 

alleges the existence of a domestic 

industry as required by section

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Intent To Prepare a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement 

(DEIS) for Development of a Contract 

Detention Facility To House Persons in 

the Custody of the U.S. Department of 

Justice 

The contract detention facility is 

proposed to be located within a 75-mile 

radius of the Lloyd D. George U.S. 

Courthouse located at 333 Las Vegas 

Boulevard, Las Vegas, Nevada. 

AGENCY: U.S. Department of Justice, 

Office of the Federal Detention Trustee. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent to Prepare a 

Draft Impact Statement. 

SUMMARY: The United States Department 

of Justice, Office of the Federal 

Detention Trustee (OFDT), intends to 

prepare a Draft Environmental Impact 

Statement (DEIS) for development of a 

contract detention facility to house 

persons in the custody of the U.S. 

Department of Justice. The contract 

detention facility is proposed to be 

located within a 75-mile radius of the 

Lloyd D. George U.S. Courthouse 

located at 333 Las Vegas Boulevard, Las 

Vegas, Nevada. 

Background Information 

The Office of the Federal Detention 

Trustee (OFDT) was established on 

December 20, 2000, when the President 

signed the Department of Justice 

Appropriations Act of 2001, Public Law 

106–553. Public Law 106–553 provides 

for necessary expenses for the OFDT 

who shall exercise all power and 

functions authorized by law relating to 

the detention of federal prisoners in 

non-federal institutions, or otherwise in 

the custody of the United States 

Marshals Service (USMS); and the 

detention of aliens in the custody of the 

U.S. Department of Homeland Security, 

Immigration and Customs Enforcement 

(DHS/ICE). The OFDT has responsibility 

over construction of detention facilities 

or for housing related to such detention; 

the management of funds appropriated 

to the U.S. Department of Justice for the 

exercise of any detention functions, and 

the direction of the USMS and the DHS/ 

ICE involving detention policies and 

operations for the U.S. Department of 

Justice. Detention consumes a 

significant and growing portion of the 

Department’s budget with responsibility 

for detainees divided among several 

agencies. 

At the present time, the OFDT is 

seeking to obtain contract detention 

services to house persons in the custody 

of the USMS in the Las Vegas, Nevada 

region. The comprehensive detention

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 109 / Thursday, June 7, 2007 / Notices 31607 

services would serve a population 

principally consisting of individuals 

charged with federal offenses and 

detained while awaiting trial or 

sentencing, a hearing on immigration 

status, or deportation. The OFDT 

intends to award a contract to 

accommodate approximately 1,000 to 

1,500 detainees. 

During the past 20 years, the federal 

detainee population has experienced 

unprecedented growth as a result of 

expanded federal law enforcement 

initiatives and resources. During this 

time, the detainee population has 

increased by over 1,000 percent, from 

approximately 3,000 in 1981 to over 

55,000 today with continued growth in 

the federal detainee population 

expected for the foreseeable future. 

These prisoners are currently housed in 

a combination of local, state, federal and 

private facilities with the growth in the 

detainee population occurring at the 

same time that available space in local 

jails is decreasing. Local jail space is 

increasingly needed to house local 

offenders, leaving less space available 

for the contractual accommodation of 

federal detainees. These trends are 

projected to continue and present a 

major challenge for the OFDT and other 

federal agencies responsible for 

detaining prisoners. By contrast, the 

USMS is the nation’s oldest and most 

versatile federal law enforcement 

agency. Created by the Judiciary Act of 

1789, the same legislation that 

established the federal judicial system, 

the USMS have served the nation 

through a variety of vital law 

enforcement activities. The Director, 

Deputy Director and 94 U.S. Marshals 

(appointed by the President or the 

Attorney General) direct the activities of 

95 district offices and personnel 

stationed at more than 350 locations 

throughout the 50 states and U.S. 

territories. The USMS occupies a 

uniquely central position in the federal 

justice system and is involved in 

virtually every federal law enforcement 

initiative. Approximately 4,000 Deputy 

Marshals and career employees perform 

a variety of nationwide, day-to-day 

missions. 

Faced with severe bedspace shortages 

in state and local jails, especially in 

major metropolitan areas, the OFDT and 

USMS periodically contract for 

detention services. Such a situation has 

arisen in the Las Vegas area where, until 

recently, federal detainees were housed 

in locally-owned and operated facilities. 

In response, it has been determined that 

in order to house federal detainees 

within proximity to the U.S. Courthouse 

in Las Vegas, reliance would be placed 

upon a Contractor-owned/Contractoroperated detention facility. The 

proposed facility shall be located within 

a 75-mile radius of the Lloyd D. George 

U.S. Federal Courthouse which is 

located at 333 Las Vegas Boulevard 

South in Las Vegas, Nevada. 

Proposed Action 

The OFDT, in cooperation with the 

USMS, has determined that there is a 

need to house approximately 1,000 to 

1,500 federal detainees within the Las 

Vegas, Nevada area. The high level of 

law enforcement activities of U.S. 

Department of Justice in the western 

United States in general and the Las 

Vegas, Nevada region in particular 

requires more beds than are readily 

available in local or state facilities. 

There is also a particular need for 

detention facilities to be located near 

federal courthouses because of the 

USMS responsibility to detain those 

individuals accused of violating federal 

laws and to make them available to the 

courts when necessary for trial or 

sentencing. 

In response to this need, the OFDT, in 

cooperation with the USMS, is seeking 

to contract with a detention contractor 

to provide a contractor-owned and 

operated facility capable of housing 

approximately 1,000 to 1,500 detained 

individuals charged with federal 

offenses. Prospective contract detention 

facility sites within a 75-mile radius of 

the U.S. Courthouse located at 333 Las 

Vegas Boulevard in Las Vegas, Nevada 

have been offered to the OFDT and 

USMS for consideration. The sites are 

described as follows: 

• Apex Industrial Use Zone Site (A)—

Unincorporated Clark County, Nevada. 

• Apex Industrial use Zone Site (B)—

Unincorporated Clark County, Nevada. 

• Dolan Springs Site—Dolan Springs, 

Mohave County, Arizona. 

• 1600 East Mike Road Site—

Pahrump, Nye County, Nevada. 

• 2250 East Mesquite Avenue Site—

Pahrump, Nye County, Nevada. 

• 2871 East Mesquite Avenue Site—

Pahrump, Nye County, Nevada. 

• 8251 East Panaca Avenue/8500 East 

Huxley Avenue Site—Pahrump, Nye 

County, Nevada. 

• 630 East Parque Avenue Site—

Pahrump, Nye County, Nevada. 

• Kingman Site—Kingman, Mohave 

County, Arizona. 

• Moapa 80 Site—Moapa, Nevada. 

• 6871 North Blagg Road Site—

Pahrump, Nye County, Nevada. 

Several of the sites listed above have 

been offered by more than one 

contractor and each site offered will be 

evaluated by the OFDT in a DEIS that 

will analyzed the potential impacts of 

detention facility construction and 

operation at the prospective sites. 

The Process 

In the process of evaluating 

prospective sites, many factors and 

features will be analyzed including, but 

not limited to: topography, geology/ 

soils, hydrology, biological resources, 

utility services, transportation services, 

cultural resources, land uses, socioeconomics, hazardous materials, visual 

and aesthetic resources, air and noise 

quality, among others. 

Alternatives 

In developing the DEIS, the No Action 

alternative and alternative sites for the 

proposed contract detention facility will 

be examined. 

Scoping Process 

During the preparation of the DEIS, 

there will be opportunities for public 

involvement in order to determine the 

issues to be examined. Public Scoping 

Meetings will be held in and around 

communities under consideration for 

development of the contract detention 

facility at times, dates and at locations 

to be determined. The meeting 

locations, dates, and times will be well 

publicized and will be arranged to allow 

for the public as well as interested 

agencies and organizations to attend and 

formally express their views on the 

scope and significant issues to be 

studied as part of the DEIS process. The 

Public Scoping Meetings are also being 

held to provide for timely public 

comments and understanding of federal 

plans and programs with possible 

environmental consequences as 

required by the National Environmental 

Policy Act of 1969, as amended, and the 

National Historic Preservation Act of 

1966, as amended. 

Availability of DEIS 

Public notice will be given concerning 

the availability of the DEIS for public 

review and comment.
