28034 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 96 / Friday, May 18, 2007 / Notices 

presented to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service (FWS) and the National Marine 

Fisheries Service (NMFS) in the DEIS. 

Essential Fish Habitat: Consultation 

for Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act was 

initiated in April 2006 via the workshop 

prior to the public scoping meeting. 

Letters were also sent to the NMFS in 

May 2006. Our initial determination is 

that the proposed action would not have 

a substantial adverse impact on EFH or 

Federally managed fisheries in the Gulf 

of Mexico, but might result in a benefit 

to EFH species by increasing the 

productivity in the bay system. Our 

final determination relative to project 

impacts and the need for mitigation 

measures is subject to additional review 

by and coordination with the NMFS. 

Other Agency Authorizations: Texas 

Coastal Zone consistency certification is 

required. The applicant has stated that 

the project is consistent with the Texas 

Coastal Management Program goals and 

policies and will be conducted in a 

manner consistent with said Program. 

Additional information can be found in 

Appendix P of the DEIS. The DEIS and 

Texas Coastal Consistency 

Determination have been submitted to 

the Coastal Coordination Council for 

review. 

Availability of Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement (DEIS): Pursuant to 

Section 102(2)(c) of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969, as amended and as implemented 

by the Council on Environmental 

Quality (40 CFR Parts 1500–1508) a

proposed activity on the public interest. 

That decision will reflect the national 

concern for both protection and 

utilization of important resources. The 

benefits which reasonably may be

limited to: Dredged material 

management, air quality, shoreline 

erosion, economics, general 

environmental concerns, historic

recreation, water and sediment quality, 

energy needs, safety, hazardous 

materials, and, in general, the welfare of 

the people. 

Solicitation of Comments: The 

USACE is soliciting comments from the 

public, Federal, State, and local 

agencies and officials, Indian tribes, and 

other interested parties in order to 

consider and evaluate the impacts of 

this proposed activity. Any comments 

received will be considered by USACE 

to determine whether to issue, modify, 

condition or deny a permit for this 

proposal.To make this decision, 

comments will be considered in the 

evaluation of impacts on endangered 

species, historic properties, water 

quality, general environmental effects, 

and the other public interest factors 

listed above. Comments will be used in 

the preparation of the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement 

pursuant to NEPA. Comments are also 

used to determine the overall public 

interest of the proposed activity.
