DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training

Administration

Notice of a Change in Status of an

Extended Benefit (EB) Period for the

State of Rhode Island

This notice announces a change in

benefit period eligibility under the EB

Program for the State of Rhode Island.

Summary

The following change has occurred

since the publication of the last notice

regarding States’ EB status:

• April 9, 1995—Rhode Island’s 13-

week insured unemployment rate for

the week ending March 25, 1995 rose

above 6.0 percent, causing the State to

trigger ‘‘on’’ EB effective April 9, 1995.

Information for Claimants

The duration of benefits payable in

the EB Program, and the terms and

conditions on which they are payable,

are governed by the Federal-State

Extended Unemployment Compensation

Act of 1970, as amended, and the

operating instructions issued to the

States by the U.S. Department of Labor.

In the case of a State beginning an EB

period, the State employment security

agency will furnish a written notice of

potential entitlement to each individual

who has exhausted all rights to regular

benefits and is potentially eligible for

extended benefits (20 CFR 615.13(c)(1)).

Persons who believe they may be

entitled to EB benefits, or who wish to

inquire about the rights under the

programs, should contact the nearest

State employment service office or

unemployment compensation claims

office in their locality.

Signed at Washington, D.C., on May 8,

1995.

Doug Ross,

Assistant Secretary of Labor for Employment

and Training.

NATIONAL CAPITAL PLANNING

COMMISSION

Intent To Prepare Environmental

Impact Statement

AGENCY: National Capital Planning

Commission.

ACTION: Proposed construction and

operation of a sports and entertainment

arena in Washington, DC.

SUMMARY: In a Notice of Intent

published in the Federal Register on

January 13, 1995 (60 FR 3273), the

National Capital Planning Commission

advised that in conjunction with the

District of Columbia Government it was

conducting an Environmental

Assessment for the proposed

construction and operation of a new

sports and entertainment area in

Washington, DC. The Notice stated that

if it became apparent, either through the

scoping process or during the analysis

and documentation of environmental

impacts, that an Environmental Impact

Statement was the appropriate

environmental document, a

Supplemental Notice would be issued.

A Draft Environmental Assessment

was published on March 31, 1995, with

a comment period closing on May 1,

1995. The National Capital Planning

Commission (Commission) and the

District of Columbia Government now

announce their intent to prepare an

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

for the proposed D.C. Arena pursuant to

Section 106(2)(c) of the National

Environment Policy Act (NEPA) of

1969, as implemented by the Council on

Environmental Quality regulations (40

CFR Parts 1500–1508), and in

accordance with the Environmental

Policies and Procedures implemented

by the Commission.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As

indicated in the January 13, 1995

Notice, all comments and responses on

the scope of alternatives and potential

impacts received in response to that

notice as well as those received during

the scoping process, the public meeting

held February 13, 1995, and in response

to the Draft EA will be considered in the

EIS. The public is encouraged to

provide additional comments once the

Draft EIS is released. The Commission

anticipates that release date to be in

mid-June 1995.

The EIS will analyze the

environmental impacts and mitigation

options associated with the construction

and operation of a sports and

entertainment arena that would seat

approximately 20,600 persons and

would be located in downtown

Washington, DC. In addition, the EIS

will consider alternative actions. At

present, those alternatives may include

(1) Construction of a new arena at the

Gallery Place site which includes the

following: Square 455 which is bounded

by G Street NW., 6th Street NW., F

Street NW. and 7th Street NW.; the 600

block of G Street NW.; and

approximately the southern fifth of

Square 454 which is bounded by H

Street NW., 6th Street NW., G Street

NW., and 7th Street NW. (2)

Construction of a new arena over the air

rights behind Union Station; (3) A No

Action Alternative, which would result

in no new construction in Washington,

DC. Topics for environmental analysis

will include short-term constructionrelated impacts; long-term effects on

historic resources, visual resources,

public transportation, traffic and

parking, socio-economic conditions,

land use, and physical-biological

resources within the project area, and

the cumulative impacts associated with

this and other reasonably foreseeable

projects.
