Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 39 / Monday, February 28, 2022 / Notices 11095 

• Potential new storage, conveyance, 

and other water supply infrastructure; 

• Potential implementation of 

voluntary agreements for the update of 

the Bay-Delta Water Quality Control 

Plan; 

• Potential responses to drier years 

and drought conditions such as water 

transfers and temporary urgency change 

petitions; and 

• Potential needs for new and 

adapted monitoring programs to address 

current and future information needs. 

Each action alternative will fulfill the 

requirements of the need for the project 

as described in the ‘‘Purpose and Need 

for Action’’ section. Certain components 

of alternatives may be described 

programmatically and be subject to 

further compliance. The Final EIS will 

identify an agency-preferred alternative. 

Reclamation will consider reasonable 

alternatives identified through the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) scoping process and through the 

input required by Section 4004 of the 

Water Infrastructure Improvements for 

the Nation Act, Public Law 114–322. 

Summary of Potential Impacts 

The EIS will identify and describe 

reasonably foreseeable potential effects 

on the human environment from a 

reasonably close causal relationship. 

Effects include those occurring at the 

same time and place and those 

occurring later in time or at a different 

place (whether beneficial or adverse). 

Potential impacts areas include surface 

water supply, water quality, 

groundwater resources, air quality, 

greenhouse gas emissions, visual 

resources, aquatic resources, terrestrial 

biological resources, regional 

economics, land use and agricultural 

resources, recreation, hazards and 

hazardous materials, cultural resources, 

geology and soils, and climate change. 

Reclamation expects to analyze flow 

management, temperature management, 

habitat, interactions with CVP and SWP 

facilities, conservation hatchery 

practices, and monitoring needs. 

Reclamation expects these actions to 

result in incidental take that requires 

consultation due to the potential to 

affect ESA-listed species. Reclamation 

intends to pursue the conference 

process for Longfin Smelt. Reclamation 

also anticipates analyzing differences in 

water supply deliveries and surplus 

power generation. The EIS will analyze 

measures that would avoid, minimize, 

or mitigate adverse environmental 

effects. 

Statutory Authority and Anticipated 

Permits 

NEPA [42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.] requires 

that Federal agencies conduct an 

environmental analysis of their 

proposed actions to determine if the 

actions may significantly affect the 

human environment. The EIS will 

analyze the environmental effects that 

may result from the implementation of 

the proposed action and alternatives. In 

addition to NEPA, various other 

Federal, state, and local authorizations 

may be required for the Proposed 

Action. Applicable Federal laws 

include, but are not limited to, ESA, 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act, 

National Historic Preservation Act, and 

Clean Water Act. 

Schedule for the Decision-Making 

Process 

Reclamation will review and consider 

comments received during scoping and 

will prepare a scoping report. After the 

draft EIS is completed, anticipated in 

2023, Reclamation will publish a notice 

of availability (NOA) and request public 

comments on the draft EIS. After the 

public comment period ends, 

Reclamation will then develop the final 

EIS and anticipates making the final EIS 

available to the public in 2024. In 

accordance with 40 CFR 1506.11, 

Reclamation will not make a decision or 

issue a Record of Decision (ROD) sooner 

than 30 days after the final EIS is 

released. Reclamation anticipates the 

issuance of a ROD by October 2024. 

NEPA Cooperating Agencies 

Reclamation will request the 

following Federal agencies to participate 

as cooperating agencies in accordance 

with the NEPA: 

• USFWS, 

• NMFS, 

• Western Area Power 

Administration, 

• U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; and 

• U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

Reclamation may invite additional 

Federal, state, and local agencies (e.g., 

DWR, California Department of Fish and 

Wildlife, State Water Resources Control 

Board, Public Water Agencies) as 

potential cooperating agencies. 

Indian Trust Assets and Environmental 

Justice 

Reclamation will consult with 

federally recognized Indian tribes in the 

project area to request their input 

regarding the identification of any 

properties to which they might attach 

religious and cultural significance to 

within the area of potential effect. Once 

these areas are determined, Reclamation 

will enter government-to-government 

consultations with potentially affected 

tribes to identify and address concerns 

for Indian Trust Assets. There are Indian 

Trust Assets affected by the Trinity 

River Division and the potential impacts 

of CVP operation on those assets will be 

examined in the EIS. The EIS will 

examine the potential impacts to 

environmental justice issues throughout 

the project area.

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address or other personal

complaint alleged a violation of section 

337 in the importation into the United 

States, the sale for importation, or the 

sale within the United States after 

importation of certain LTE-compliant 

cellular communication devices by 

reason of infringement of certain claims 

of U.S. Patent Nos. RE46,679; RE48,326

Gyeonngi-Do, Republic of Korea; 

Samsung Electronics America, Inc. of 

Ridgefield Park, New Jersey; and 

Motorola Mobility LLC of Chicago, 

Illinois as respondents. Id. at 13400. The 

Commission’s Office of Unfair Import 

Investigations was also named as a party 

in this investigation. Id. Subsequently, 

the Commission terminated all asserted 

claims of the ’120 patent and claims 19 

and 20 of the ’326 patent from the 

investigation by reason of withdrawal of 

the complaint allegations. Order No. 15

Commission investigative attorney filed 

a contingent statement of support of the 

motion. 

On January 31, 2022, the ALJ issued 

the subject ID (Order No. 36) granting 

complainant’s motion. The ID finds that
