SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The items 

of discussion in the workshop’s agenda 

are as follows: 

The Groundfish Oversight Committee, 

in conjunction with the Groundfish 

Advisory Panel, Plan Development 

Team, and socio-economic experts of 

the Council’s Scientific and Statistical 

Committee, will hold a meeting on the 

subject of accumulation limits for the 

Northeast Multispecies Fishery 

Management Plan (FMP). This meeting 

will be in a facilitated format and will 

not follow the Committee’s standard 

decision-making process. The purpose 

of the workshop is to explore issues 

associated with accumulation limits and 

relevant fleet diversity measures. This 

group will not revisit the allocation 

structure for Potential Sector 

Contributions determined in 

Amendment 16 to the Northeast 

Multispecies FMP. Recommendations 

on a potential action to manage 

excessive shares in the fishery will be 

developed for the Council to consider at 

its June 2011 meeting. 

Although non-emergency issues not 

contained in this agenda may come 

before this group for discussion, those 

issues may not be the subject of formal 

action during this meeting. Action will 

be restricted to those issues specifically 

identified in this notice and any issues 

arising after publication of this notice 

that require emergency action under 

section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act, provided the public has been 

notified of the Council’s intent to take 

final action to address the emergency.

BILLING CODE 6820–KF–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement and 

Notice of Potential Floodplain and 

Wetlands Involvement for the 

FutureGen 2.0 Program 

AGENCY: Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent and Notice of 

Potential Floodplain and Wetlands 

Involvement. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE or the Department) 

announces its intent to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

pursuant to the National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 

4321 et seq.), the Council on 

Environmental Quality’s (CEQ) NEPA 

regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500–1508), 

and DOE’s NEPA implementing 

procedures (10 CFR Part 1021) to assess 

the potential environmental impacts of 

DOE’s proposed action: providing 

approximately $1 billion in Federal 

funding (most of it appropriated by the 

American Recovery and Reinvestment 

Act, or ‘‘ARRA’’) for the FutureGen 2.0 

program. DOE has prepared this Notice 

of Intent (NOI) to inform interested 

parties of the pending EIS and to invite 

public comments on the proposed 

action, including: (1) The range of 

environmental issues, (2) the 

alternatives to be analyzed, and (3) the 

impacts to be considered in the EIS. The 

NOI also provides notice in accordance 

with 10 CFR Part 1022 (DOE’s 

regulations for compliance with 

floodplain and wetland review 

requirements) that the proposed project 

may involve potential impacts to 

floodplains and wetlands. 

The FutureGen 2.0 program would 

provide financial assistance for the 

repowering of an existing electricity 

generator with clean coal technologies 

integrated with a pipeline that would 

transport carbon dioxide (CO2) to a 

sequestration site where it would be 

injected and stored in a deep geologic 

formation. DOE entered into separate 

cooperative agreements with Ameren 

Energy Resources (Ameren) and with 

the FutureGen Alliance (the Alliance) 

that define DOE’s proposed action. This 

program consists of an Oxy-Combustion 

Large Scale Test undertaken by Ameren 

at its Meredosia Power Station in west 

central Illinois and a Pipeline and CO2

Storage Reservoir undertaken by the 

Alliance. In addition, the Alliance 

would construct and operate facilities 

for research, training, and visitors in the 

vicinity of the sequestration site. The 

Alliance has identified its preferred 

sequestration site in Morgan County, 

Illinois, and two alternative sites, one in 

Christian County, Illinois and one in 

Douglas County, Illinois. The program 

would provide performance and 

emissions data as well as establish 

operating and maintenance experience 

that would facilitate future large-scale 

commercial deployment of these 

technologies. DOE would provide 

technical and programmatic guidance to 

Ameren and the Alliance and oversee 

activities for compliance with the terms 

of the cooperative agreements. DOE is 

responsible for NEPA compliance 

activities. 

DOE encourages government agencies, 

private-sector organizations, and the 

general public to participate in the 

FutureGen 2.0 program through the 

NEPA process. DOE will consult with 

interested Native American Tribes and 

Federal, state, regional and local 

agencies during preparation of the EIS. 

Further, DOE invites agencies with 

jurisdiction by law or special expertise 

to participate as cooperating agencies in 

the preparation of this EIS. 

DATES: DOE invites comments on the 

proposed scope and content of the EIS 

from all interested parties. To ensure 

consideration in the preparation of the 

EIS, comments must be received by June 

22, 2011. DOE will consider late 

comments to the extent practicable. In 

addition to receiving comments in 

writing and by e-mail [See ADDRESSES

below], DOE will conduct public 

scoping meetings during which 

government agencies, private-sector 

organizations, and the general public are 

invited to present oral and written 

comments with regard to DOE’s 

proposed action, alternatives, and 

potential impacts of the proposed 

FutureGen 2.0 program. DOE will 

consider these comments in developing 

the EIS. Public scoping meetings will be 

held on June 7, 8, and 9, 2011 [See 

‘‘Public Scoping Process’’ under 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION below]. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments on the 

scope of the EIS and requests to 

participate in the public scoping 

meetings should be addressed to: Mr. 

Cliff Whyte, U.S. Department of Energy, 

National Energy Technology Laboratory, 

P.O. Box 880, Morgantown, West 

Virginia 26507–0880. Individuals and 

organizations who would like to provide 

oral or written comments should contact 

Mr. Whyte by mail at the above address; 

telephone (toll-free) 1–877–338–5689;

(FG2.EIS@netl.doe.gov). 

Oral comments will be heard during 

the formal portion of the scoping 

meetings [See ‘‘Public Scoping Process’’ 

under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

below]. Various displays and other 

information about DOE’s NEPA process 

and the FutureGen 2.0 program will be 

available, and representatives from DOE 

and the project partners will be present 

at an informal session to discuss the 

FutureGen 2.0 program and the EIS 

process.

further information about this project,
