BILLING CODE 4000–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Cancellation of Supplemental 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

Ancillary Facilities for the Richton Site 

of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve 

AGENCY: Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of Cancellation. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE) announces the 

cancellation of a supplemental 

environmental impact statement (SEIS) 

for certain facilities associated with the 

2007 selection of Richton, Mississippi, 

as the location of a new storage site for 

expanding the Strategic Petroleum 

Reserve (SPR). In April 2011, Congress 

rescinded all funding for the SPR 

expansion project. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

information on the cancellation of the 

SEIS, contact Donald Silawsky, Acting 

Director, Office of Reserve Lands 

Management (FE–47), U.S. Department 

of Energy, 1000 Independence Ave., 

SW., Washington, DC 20585, e-mail 

donald.silawsky@hq.doe.gov, telephone 

202–586–1892. For general information 

on the DOE NEPA process, contact Carol 

M. Borgstrom, Director, Office of NEPA 

Policy and Compliance (GC–54), U.S. 

Department of Energy, 1000 

Independence Avenue, SW., 

Washington, DC 20585, telephone 202– 

586–4600 or leave a message at 800– 

472–2756. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT, Pub. 

L. 109–58) directed DOE to expand the 

SPR from its current 727 million-barrel 

capacity to 1 billion barrels. To fulfill 

the requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for 

this expansion project, DOE prepared an 

environmental impact statement for the 

Site Selection for the Expansion of the 

Strategic Petroleum Reserve (DOE/EIS– 

0385). In a Record of Decision (ROD) (72 

FR 7964; February 22, 2007), DOE 

announced its selection of Richton, 

Mississippi, as the location of a new 

SPR facility as part of the expansion 

project. 

After selecting the Richton site, DOE 

engaged in further consultations with 

the Mississippi Department of 

Environmental Quality, U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, and other 

governmental entities. As a result of 

those consultations, and to reduce 

project impacts, DOE proposed 

alternative sites from those announced 

in the ROD for some of the ancillary 

facilities associated with the Richton 

site: the raw water intake structure, oil 

terminal, and brine diffuser. DOE 

determined that alternative locations for 

those ancillary facilities would present 

substantial changes to the proposal as 

analyzed in DOE/EIS–0385 that would 

be relevant to environmental concerns. 

DOE published a Notice of Intent to 

prepare an SEIS to analyze the impacts 

of potential new locations for the 

ancillary facilities associated with the 

Richton site (73 FR 11895; March 5, 

2008) and conducted public scoping. 

On February 1, 2010, the President 

submitted a budget request to Congress 

for Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 that included 

no new funding to continue SPR 

expansion efforts and proposed 

cancellation of previously appropriated 

expansion funds. In April 2011, 

Congress passed, and the President 

signed, the Department of Defense and 

Full-Year Continuing Appropriations 

Act, 2011 (Pub. L. 112–10). Sections 

1440 and 1464 of that Act rescinded all 

unspent balances of prior year funds 

that had been appropriated for SPR 

expansion. The President’s FY 2012 

budget includes no funds for SPR 

expansion. 

With prior appropriated funds 

rescinded, and no new funds proposed, 

the SPR expansion project is effectively 

terminated. DOE is therefore cancelling 

the preparation of the SEIS for the 

ancillary facilities of the SPR expansion 

project at the Richton Site (DOE/EIS– 

0385–S1). 

Issued in Washington, DC, on September 1, 

2011. 

David F. Johnson, 

Deputy Assistant Secretary, Office of 

Petroleum Reserves.
