alternative, under which the proposal 

will not be undertaken or if RUS did not 

fund the proposed Project, other sites 

evaluated by Speedway Solar, and any 

reasonable alternatives defined as a 

result of the scoping process. In the EIS, 

the effects of the proposal will be 

compared to the existing conditions in 

the affected area of the proposal. Public 

health and safety, environmental 

impacts (such as impacts to vegetation, 

soils/prime farmland, wildlife/ 

endangered species, cultural resources, 

and land use), socio-economic, and 

engineering aspects of the proposal will 

also be considered in the EIS. 

As part of its broad environmental 

review process, RUS must take into 

account the effect of the proposal on 

historic properties in accordance with 

Section 106 of the NHPA (Section 106) 

and its implementing regulation, 

‘‘Protection of Historic Properties’’ (36 

CFR 800). Pursuant to 36 CFR 

800.2(d)(3), RUS is using its procedures 

for public involvement under NEPA to 

meet its responsibilities to solicit and 

consider the views of the public during 

NHPA Section 106 review. Accordingly, 

comments submitted in response to this 

Notice will inform RUS decisionmaking during NHPA Section 106 

review. 

In addition to compliance with 

Section 106, the Project will require 

evaluation under Section 404 of the 

Clean Water Act and will obtain 

required state, county, and local 

permits. The Project has received 

approval from the Shelby County Board 

of Zoning Appeals. 

From information provided in the 

studies mentioned above, and using 

input provided by government agencies, 

tribes, and the public, RUS will prepare 

a Draft EIS. The Draft EIS will be filed 

with the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (USEPA) and will be available 

for public comment by Spring 2022. At 

that time, RUS and USEPA will publish 

a notice of the availability of the Draft 

EIS and notice of receipt, respectively, 

in the Federal Register. In addition, 

Speedway Solar will publish notices in 

local newspapers and any online local 

news sources. The comment period will 

be 45 days from the date the EPA 

publishes its Federal Register notice 

announcing receipt of the Draft EIS. 

To assist the involved federal agencies 

in identifying and considering issues 

and concerns on the proposal, 

comments on the Draft EIS should be as 

specific as possible. It is also helpful if 

the comments refer to the specific pages 

or chapters of the Draft EIS. Comments 

may also address the adequacy of the 

Draft EIS or the merits of the 

alternatives formulated and discussed in 

the statement. Reviewers may wish to 

refer to the CEQ’s regulations at 40 CFR 

1503.3 in addressing these points. After 

the comment period ends on the Draft 

EIS, the comments will be analyzed, 

considered, and responded to by the 

agencies involved in preparing the Final 

EIS. 

The public will again have the 

opportunity to review and comment on 

the Final EIS. Upon completion of a 30- 

day public comment period, the RUS 

will document its decision regarding the 

proposed Project and reasons for the 

decision in a Record of Decision. A 

public notice announcing the 

availability of the Record of Decision 

will be published in the Federal 

Register and local newspapers. 

Any final action by RUS related to the 

proposal will be subject to, and 

contingent upon, compliance with all 

relevant executive orders and federal, 

state, and local environmental laws and 

regulations in addition to the 

completion of the environmental review 

requirements as prescribed in 7 CFR 

1970, Environmental Policies and 

Procedures.
