33554 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 121 / Friday, June 22, 2001 / Notices

if approved as an exception, will allow

the system to be constructed as planned

along existing highways or disturbed R/

Ws in Riverside and San Bernadino

Counties instead of within CDCA

designated utility corridors. Both R/Ws

would include a 25-foot wide temporary

construction and a 10-foot wide

permanent R/W.

Copies of the EA are available for

public review at BLM offices in: Las

Cruces, New Mexico; Safford, Tucson,

Phoenix, Yuma and Lake Havasu,

Arizona; and Palm Springs, Riverside,

Needles and Barstow, California.

Reading copies may be downloaded

from the Arizona BLM website http://

www.az.blm.gov.

DATES: Written comments on the EA and

proposed plan amendment must be

submitted or postmarked no later than

July 23, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be addressed to Shela McFarlin, Project

Manager, BLM Arizona State Office

(AZ917), 222 North Central Avenue,

Phoenix, AZ 85004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Shela McFarlin, at the above address, or

by phone at (602) 417–9568, by fax at

(602) 417–9400, or at e-mail

Shela_McFarlin@blm.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Both R/W

applications include measures to avoid,

minimize, or mitigate impacts on the

environment as specified through a plan

of development which includes

monitoring, reclamation and other

construction designs and stipulations.

The EA analyzes a no-action (no R/W

and no plan amendment) along with the

R/Ws proposed by EPGN. For the CDCA,

an additional alternative (Modified

Proposed Project Corridors K and S) and

the associated plan amendment is

analyzed utilizing existing information

for comparison with the proposed

action.

The fiber optic telecommunication

project entails the construction and

reclamation activities for an eight-duct

conduit system and associated facilities

and access including regeneration or

optical amplification stations

approximately every 50 miles, buried

splice boxes placed at 20,000 foot

intervals, manhole/handhold accesses

placed every 3,000 to 5,000 feet, cable

marker poles every 500 feet, and one 3.5

mile power line. The project, as

designated for construction, operation,

maintenance and termination activities,

should contribute minimal to no

additional impacts to the environment

and would operate mainly within

previously disturbed and routinely

maintained road rights of way.

Additional environmental monitoring,

pre-work surveys, and data recovery for

cultural resource sites would be

stipulated in the R/W grants.

The CDCA portion of this project

proposed as an exception to the CDCA

Plan—as a plan amendment for this

single use only—begins at the Point of

Presence (POP) in Blythe, California,

then follow the Midland Road to the

Rice POP, then follow highway 60 to the

POP at Twenty-Nine Palms, then to the

POP at Victorville.
