SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Kalaupapa 

National Historical Park was established 

as a unit of the National Park System on 

December 22, 1980. The park is oriented 

toward patient privacy and maintaining 

the patients’ lifestyles, and the patients 

are guaranteed they may remain at 

Kalaupapa as long as they wish. These 

park purposes will continue as long as 

there is a resident Hansen’s disease 

patient community at Kalaupapa. In 

addition, the purpose of Kalaupapa 

National Historical Park is to honor the 

history of the isolated Hansen’s disease 

community by preserving and 

interpreting its site and values. The 

historical park also tells the story of the 

rich Hawaiian culture and traditions at 

Kalaupapa that go back at least 900 

years. 

Kalaupapa NHP encompasses 8,725 

acres of land and 2,000 acres of water. 

Federally owned land at Kalaupapa 

NHP includes only 23 acres. The 

remainder of the park land is currently 

in non-Federal ownership, managed 

under a lease and cooperative 

agreements mandated by legislation. 

The NPS has a fifty year lease agreement 

for the approximately 1,300 acres of the 

Kalaupapa Settlement owned by the 

Department of Hawaiian Home Lands 

(DHHL). The remainder of the land is 

owned by the State of Hawaii. Formal 

20-year cooperative agreements for 

management have been signed with the 

State of Hawaii Departments of Health 

(DOH), Transportation (DOT), and Land 

and Natural Resources (DLNR); the 

Roman Catholic Church; and the United 

Church of Christ. The State Department 

of Health has substantial control over 

activities in Kalaupapa. 

The legislation establishing the park 

specifically directs a reevaluation of 

park management: ‘‘At such time when 

there is no longer a resident patient 

community at Kalaupapa, the Secretary 

shall reevaluate the policies governing 

the management, administration, and 

public use of the park in order to 

identify any changes deemed to be 

appropriate.’’ (Public Law 95–565, 

§ 109). Approximately fifteen Hansen’s 

disease patients still reside at 

Kalaupapa, either in their own homes or 

at Kalaupapa’s hospital/care-home. 

Most of these patients are elderly and in 

poor health. Thus, a very critical need 

is to engage the patients in a dialog 

about the future when there no longer 

is a patient community residing in the 

park. Participation by the patient 

community has been a key element to 

the overall process. 

Kalaupapa NHP has never had a 

formal general management plan. The 

proposed GMP is intended to addresses 

major issues including: Resource 

management, visitor use and access, 

analysis of potential boundary 

modifications, and the expected shift 

from co-management with the State of 

Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) to 

a future when the DOH and the living 

patient community are no longer at 

Kalaupapa. 

Decision Process: All comments 

received on the Draft EIS will be duly 

considered in preparing the Final EIS. 

The Final EIS is expected to be available 

during the summer, 2016. Subsequently 

a Record of Decision would be prepared 

not sooner than 30 days after release of 

the Final EIS. Because this is a 

delegated EIS, the official responsible 

for approving the final plan is the 

Regional Director, Pacific West Region, 

National Park Service. The official 

responsible for implementation of the 

approved plan is the Superintendent, 

Kalaupapa National Historical Park.

Area Water Supply Project Final 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement; Burke, Bottineau, Divide, 

McHenry, McLean, Mountrail, Pierce, 

Renville, Ward, and Williams Counties, 

North Dakota 

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Reclamation 

(Reclamation) is notifying the public 

that Reclamation has prepared a Final 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement (SEIS) for the Northwest Area 

Water Supply Project (Project). 

Reclamation has evaluated comments 

received from the public on the Draft 

SEIS and is recommending a preferred 

alternative for approval. The Missouri 

River and Groundwater Alternative 

would provide a high quality and 

reliable water supply to meet existing 

and future water needs. This alternative 

would include conventional treatment 

at the biota water treatment plant, 

located within the Missouri River Basin, 

and the proposed intake for the Project 

would be located within Reclamation’s 

Snake Creek Pumping Plant on Lake 

Sakakawea. 

DATES: Reclamation will not make a 

decision on the proposed action until at 

least 30 days after filing of the Final 

SEIS. After the 30-day waiting period, 

Reclamation will complete a Record of 

Decision. The Record of Decision will 

identify the selected action for 

implementation and will discuss factors 

and rationale used in making the 

decision. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Alicia Waters, Project Manager, (701) 

221–1206; or by email at awaters@

usbr.gov. The Final SEIS and additional 

information is available at http://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969, the Final SEIS documents 

the potential direct, indirect, and 

cumulative environmental and 

socioeconomic effects of the proposed 

action to construct a municipal, rural 

and industrial (MR&I) water system to 

provide drinking water to local 

communities and rural water systems in 

northwestern North Dakota. The Project 

is sized to serve projected population 

growth through the year 2060. Water 

provided by the Project would be 

treated to meet the primary drinking 

water standards established by the Safe 

Drinking Water Act. The Project would 

supply water to specific delivery points. 

Each community or rural water system 

would be responsible for connecting to 

the distribution line and delivering 

water through their water system to end 

users. The Project was authorized by the 

Garrison Diversion Reformulation Act of 

1986 and the Dakota Water Resources 

Act of 2000 as part of the MR&I Grant 

Program. 

Four action alternatives were 

evaluated in the Final SEIS. These 

alternatives fall into two categories— 

those using only inbasin water sources 

(Souris River and groundwater) and 

those proposing to use water from the 

Missouri River (Lake Sakakawea). The 

preferred alternative, Missouri River 

and Groundwater Alternative, would 

use Lake Sakakawea as the primary 

water source. This water would be 

conveyed to the biota water treatment 

plant where it would be treated using 

conventional treatment processes. After 

treatment at the biota water treatment 

plant, the water would be conveyed in 

a buried pipeline to the Minot water 

treatment plant and blended with water 

from the Minot and Sundre aquifers. 

Following this treatment, water would 

be supplied to Project members through 

a distribution pipeline system. 

Some of the resources potentially 

affected by the proposed action that are 

evaluated in the Final SEIS include: 

Surface water and groundwater 

resources, water quality, aquatic 

invasive species, threatened and 

endangered species, socioeconomics, 

environmental justice and historic 

properties. The geographic scope of 

analysis generally covers the Missouri 

and Souris river basins, and carries 

analysis into Canada as directed by the 

U.S. District Court. 

A Notice of Availability of the Draft 

SEIS was published in the Federal 

Register on June 27, 2014 (79 FR 36556). 

The written comment period for the 

Draft SEIS was extended 30 days and 

concluded on September 10, 2014 (79 

FR 45459). The Final SEIS contains 

responses to all substantive comments 

received, and reflects comments and 

additional information received during 

the review period.

Title: 30 CFR part 250, subpart J, 

Pipelines and Pipeline Rights-of-Way 

(ROW). 

Form(s): BSEE–0149. 

OMB Control Number: 1014–0016. 

Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf 

(OCS) Lands Act at (43 U.S.C. 1334), 

authorizes the Secretary of the Interior 

to prescribe rules and regulations to 

necessary for the administration of the 

leasing provisions of the Act related to 

mineral resources on the OCS. Such 

rules and regulations apply to all 

operations conducted under a lease, 

pipeline right-of-way (ROW), or a rightof-use and easement. Section 1334(e) 

authorizes the Secretary to grant ROWs 

through the submerged lands of the OCS 

for pipelines ‘‘. . . for the transportation 

of oil, natural gas, sulphur, or other 

minerals, or under such regulations and 

upon such conditions as may be 

prescribed by the Secretary, . . . 

including (as provided in Section 

1347(b) of this title) assuring maximum 

environmental protection by utilization 

of the best available and safest 

technologies, including the safest 

practices for pipeline burial. . . .’’ 

In addition to the general rulemaking 

authority of the OCSLA at 43 U.S.C. 

1334, section 301(a) of the Federal Oil 

and Gas Royalty Management Act 

(FOGRMA), 30 U.S.C. 1751(a), grants 

authority to the Secretary to prescribe 

such rules and regulations as are 

reasonably necessary to carry out 

FOGRMA’s provisions. While the 

majority of FOGRMA is directed to 

royalty collection and enforcement, 

some provisions apply to offshore 

operations. For example, section 108 of
