DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Bureau of Prisons

Notice of Intent To Prepare a Draft

Environmental Impact Statement

(DEIS) for the Construction of a

Federal Correctional Institution Near

Glenville (Gilmer County), West

Virginia

AGENCY: Bureau of Prisons, Department

of Justice.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a

draft environmental impact statement

(DEIS).

SUMMARY:

Proposed Action

The U.S. Department of Justice,

Federal Bureau of Prisons, has

determined that, in order to meet

increasing demands for additional

inmate capacity, a new correctional

facility is needed in its system.

The Bureau of Prisons proposes to

construct and operate a medium

security Federal Correctional

Institution, with an adjacent minimum

security satellite camp, in the greater

Glenville, West Virginia area. The main

medium security facility would be

designed to have a rated capacity of

approximately 1,152 inmates, and the

minimum security component

approximately 150–300. Several other

sites in the region are currently under

consideration. The potential site also

would be used for road access,

administration, programs and services,

parking, and support facilities.

In the process of evaluating potential

sites, several aspects will receive a

detailed examination including utilities,

traffic patterns, noise levels, visual

intrusions, threatened and endangered

species, cultural resources, and socioeconomic impacts.

Alternatives: In developing the DEIS,

the options of ‘‘no action’’ and

‘‘alternative sites’’ for the proposed

facility will be fully and thoroughly

examined.

Scoping Process: Several informal

public meetings have already been held

on the proposed project, and during the

preparation of the DEIS, there will be

numerous other opportunities for public

involvement. The public scoping

meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m. on

Tuesday, December 9, 1997, at the

Gilmer County Recreation Center

(Dining Hall) in Glenville, West

Virginia. The meeting will be well

publicized and is scheduled at a time

that will make the meeting possible for

the public and interested agencies or

organizations to attend.

DEIS Preparation: Public notice will

be given concerning the availability of

the DEIS for public review and

comment.

ADDRESSES: Questions concerning the

proposed action and the DEIS can be

answered by: David J. Dorworth, Chief,

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as

part of its continuing effort to reduce

paperwork and respondent burden,

conducts a preclearance consultation

program to provide the general public

opportunity to comment on proposed

and/or continuing collections of

information in accordance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This

program helps to ensure that requested

data can be provided in the desired

format, reporting burden (time and

financial resources) is minimized,

collection instruments are clearly

understood, and the impact of collection

requirements on respondents can be

properly assessed. Currently, the

Employment Standards Administration

is soliciting comments concerning the

following information collection: DavisBacon and Related Acts/Contract Work

Hours and Safety Standards Reporting

Requirements-Regulations, 29 CFR Part

5. Copies of the proposed information

collection request can be obtained by

contacting the office listed below in the

addressee section of this notice.

DATES: Written comments must be

submitted to the office listed in the

addressee section below on or before

February 1, 1998. The Department of

Labor is particularly interested in

comments which:

• Evaluate whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of the

functions of the agency, including

whether the information will have

practical utility;

• Evaluate the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information,

including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used;

• Enhance the quality, utility and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and

• Minimize the burden of the

collection of information on those who

are to respond, including through the

use of appropriate automated,

electronic, mechanical, or other

technological collection techniques or

other forms of information technology,

e.g., permitting electronic submissions

of responses.
