SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

September 16, 2005, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service) issued a 

permit (PRT–109802) to the Virginia 

Polytechnic Institute and State 

University (CVM Phase 2), Blacksburg, 

VA, to import carcasses from wild 

chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) collected 

in Tanzania for the purpose of scientific 

research. This action was authorized 

under Section 10(c) of the Endangered 

Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 

U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The Service 

determined that an emergency affecting 

the health and life of the chimpanzees 

existed, and that no reasonable 

alternative was available to the 

applicant for the following reasons. 

Virginia Polytechnic Institute and 

State University requested a permit to 

import carcasses from deceased animals 

found in the Mahale Mountains 

National Park in Kigoma, Tanzania and 

the Rubondo Island National Park in 

Mwanza, Tanzania for emergency and 

ongoing health and disease evaluation 

purposes. The carcasses will be utilized 

exclusively for diagnostic and scientific 

purposes. The specimens from these 

animals will be used to run diagnostic 

tests in order to determine the cause of 

illness and death related to an ongoing 

disease outbreak at the National Parks 

within the past several weeks. The 

necessary diagnostic testing is not 

available in Africa. The results of health 

and disease testing involving these 

chimpanzees will help determine what 

caused the outbreak in order to develop 

interventions to help prevent 

reoccurrence.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Bureau of Reclamation Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

Clean Water Coalition Systems 

Conveyance and Operations Program; 

Lake Mead National Recreation Area; 

Clark County, NV; Notice of Availability 

Summary: Pursuant to Section 

102(2)(C) of the National Environmental 

Policy Act of 1969, and the 

corresponding Council of 

Environmental Quality implementing 

regulations (40 CFR parts 1500–08), the 

National Park Service and Bureau of 

Reclamation, as lead agencies for the 

Department of the Interior, announce 

the availability of the Clean Water 

Coalition Systems Conveyance and 

Operations Program (SCOP) Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement. 

Consistent with applicable laws and 

National Park Service and Bureau of 

Reclamation regulations and policies, 

the Draft SCOP EIS describes and 

analyzes four alternatives including the 

no action alternative. 

The Draft SCOP Environmental 

Impact Statement evaluates the 

potential environmental impacts 

associated with three action (pipeline) 

alternatives, as well as a No-Action (no 

pipeline) Alternative. The three action 

alternatives include an Effluent 

Interceptor (EI) and Lake Conveyance 

System (LCS) that would collect and 

convey the highly treated effluent from 

the three treatment facilities to the Las 

Vegas Wash at a point upstream of Lake 

Las Vegas or to Lake Mead. The action 

alternatives would allow for flexible 

management of the highly treated 

effluent. A controlled amount of effluent 

would continue to be discharged to the 

Las Vegas Wash at each facility or at the 

EI Terminus. The discharge amount, 

velocity, and direction from the LCS 

diffuser would also be flexibly operated 

depending on the conditions of Lake 

Mead.
