SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

authority to issue this document is

vested in the Secretary of the Interior by

5 U.S.C. 301; the Act of August 7, 1946,

c. 802, Section 3 (60 Stat. 895; 25 U.S.C.

385c); the Act of May 25, 1948 (62 Stat.

269); and the Act of December 23, 1981,

section 112 (95 Stat. 1404). The

Secretary has delegated this authority to

the Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs

pursuant to part 209 Departmental

Manual, Chapter 8.1A and

Memorandum dated January 25, 1994,

from Chief of Staff, Department of the

Interior, to Assistant Secretaries, and

Heads of Bureaus and Offices.

MVP has been informed by its

suppliers of wholesale power,

Bonneville Power Administration

(BPA), Montana Power Company (MPC),

and the Louisiana Gas & Electric

Company (LGE), that they are adjusting

their rates to MVP. Accordingly, the BIA

is proposing to adjust the rates at the

recommendation of MVP to reflect the

adjusted cost of service and power

provided to MVP by the BPA, MPC, and

LGE. The proposed rate change will

impact MVP’s Basic Rate, Demand Rate,

Horsepower Rate and various other

energy rates within each rate class.

MVP is also proposing a general

adjustment of electric rates. New, less

expensive wholesale power rates from

the Bonneville Power Administration,

and the opportunity for additional

savings available by purchasing a

portion of the wholesale needs from an

independent third-party source, will

result in annual purchased power

savings of approximately $900,000

annually for the next five fiscal years.

Through action by MVP’s Board of

Directors, the Bureau of Indian Affairs

proposes to lower rates across all

customer classes by an average of 2.3%

for the five year period, resulting in an

effectual rebate to consumers of

approximately 35% of the anticipated

savings. The additional 65%, or

approximately $600,000, will be

retained by the utility for funding the

construction of new office and

operations facilities which are critically

required for the utility to continue

providing safe, efficient and cost

effective service. The proposed rate

structure is the result of a Cost of

Service study by the MVP consultant,

Economic and Engineering Services,

Inc., public comments and formal

recommendations from the Consumer

Council and the Utility Board. The

effective date of the proposed BPA rate

change will be the first of the month

following the publication date of the

final notice of Rate Adjustment.

Dated: August 8, 1997.

Ada E. Deer,

Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service

Missouri Recreational Riverways Final

Environmental Impact Statement/

General Management Plan

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Availability of Final

Environmental Impact Statement/

General Management Plan for the

Missouri/Niobrara/Verdigre Creek

National Recreational Rivers in Charles

Mix, Bon Homme, and Gregory

counties, South Dakota, and Boyd and

Knox counties, Nebraska.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(c)

of the National Environmental Policy

Act (NEPA) of 1969, the National Park

Service (NPS) announces the

availability of the Final Environmental

Impact Statement/General Managment

Plan (FEIS/GMP) for the Missouri/

Niobrara/Verdigre Creek National

Recreational Rivers. The Draft FEIS/

GMP for the recreational rivers was on

58-day public review from July 19 to

September 14, 1996.

The NPS will manage a 39-mile

section of the Missouri River from Fort

Randall Dam to the headwaters of Lewis

and Clark Lake, a 20-mile section of the

Niobrara measured upriver from its

confluence with the Missouri River, and

an 8-mile section of Verdigre Creek from

the northern municipal boundary of the

town of Verdigre to its confluence with

the Niobrara River. The action is in

response to a mandate by Congress in

Pub. L. 102–50, an amendment to the

Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16 U.S.C.

1271–1287). The FEIS/GMP was

prepared by the National Park Service.

The NPS’s preferred alternative for

the Missouri/Niobrara/Verdigre Creek

National Recreational Rivers is

identified in the FEIS/GMP as

Alternative 5. Under the preferred
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 159 / Monday, August 18, 1997 / Notices 44015

alternative the NPS would work

cooperatively with landowners, local

and state government agencies, and

others to protect river resources. The

boundary for the recreational rivers

would include a minimum setback of

200 feet from the ordinary high water

flow of the rivers, plus Federal and State

fee lands within a quarter mile of the

rivers and several significant fish and

wildlife habitat areas.

Four other alternatives were also

considered: A no action alternative; an

alternative that emphasizes rural

landscape protection through

cooperative approaches with a boundary

setback of 200 feet from the ordinary

high water flow; an alternative that

emphasizes biological resource

protection with a boundary that

includes significant bottomlands and

areas affected by a discharge flow of

60,000 cfs from Fort Randall Dam; and

an alternative that emphasizes

recreational development with a

boundary typically at 200 feet from the

ordinary high water mark, but extending

further on Corps of Engineers-owned

land, potential public use areas, and on

biologically significant lands.

DATES: The 30-day no action period for

review of the FEIS/GMP will end on

September 22, 1997. A record of

decision will follow the no action

period.
