Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 92 / Friday, May 11, 2001 / Notices 24099

to help identify issues that define the

range of alternatives to be considered in

the environmental impact statement.

The range of alternatives considered in

the DEIS will be based on the issues and

specific decisions to be made. Written

comments identifying issues for analysis

and the range of alternatives are

encouraged.

Estimated Dates for Filing

The draft EIS is expected to be filed

with the EPA and to be available for

public review in the summer of 2001.

The comment period on the draft

environmental impact statement will be

90 days from the date the EPA publishes

the Notice of Availability in the Federal

Register.

The final EIS is scheduled to be

completed by February 2002. In the

final EIS, the Forest Service is required

to respond to comments received during

the comment period that pertain to the

environmental consequences discussed

in the draft EIS and applicable laws,

regulations, and policies considered in

making a decision regarding the

proposal.

The Reviewer’s Obligation To Comment

The Forest Service believes it is

important to give reviewers notice at

this early stage of several court rulings

related to public participation in the

environmental review process. First,

reviewers of draft environmental impact

statements must structure their

participation in the environmental

review of the proposal so that it is

meaningful and alerts an agency to the

reviewer’s position and contentions

[Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp.

v. NRDC, 435 U.S. 519, 553 (1978)].

Also, environmental objections that

could be raised at the draft

environmental impact statement stage

but that are not raised until after

completion of the final environmental

impact statement may be waived or

dismissed by the courts [Wisconsin

Heritages, Inc. v. Harris, 490 F. Supp.

1334, 1338 (E.D. Wis. 1980)]. Because of

these court rulings, it is very important

that those interested in this proposed

action participate by the close of the 90-

day comment period so that substantive

comments and objects are made

available to the Forest Service at a time

when it can meaningfully consider them

and respond to them in the final

environmental impact statement.

To assist the Forest Service in

identifying and considering issues and

concerns on the proposed action,

comments on the draft environmental

impact statement should be as specific

as possible. It is also helpful if

comments refer to specific pages or

chapters of the draft statement.

Comments may also address the

adequacy of the draft environmental

impact statement or the merits of the

alternatives formulated and discussed in

the statement. Reviewers may wish to

refer to the Council on Environmental

Quality Regulations for implementing

the procedural provisions of the Natural

Environmental Policy Act at 40 CFR

1503.3 in addressing these points.

AGENCY: Rural Utilities Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice of finding of no

with respect to the development of a

1,020-megawatt, natural gas fired

combustion turbine electric generation

plant in Cecil County, Maryland, by Old

Dominion Electric Cooperative and

Outwater Limited Funding Partnership.

RUS may provide financing for the plant

to an affiliate of Old Dominion Electric

Cooperative to be known as the Rock

Springs Generation, LLC. The specifics

of that entity have yet to be determined.

The plant will be named the Rock

Springs Generation Station. Rock

Springs Generation, LLC, will initially

own one-half of the plant (510

megawatts).

Old Mill Road and U.S. Route 222. The

turbine will have a 75-foot exhaust

stack. The entire plant will be situated

on approximately 26 acres of the 93-acre
