BILLING CODE 4310–55–P 

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Indian Affairs 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Proposed Hannahville Tribe of 

Potawatomi Indians’ Hotel and Casino 

Project, Romulus, MI 

AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice advises the public 

that the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) 

as lead agency, with Hannahville Tribe 

of Potawatomi Indians (Tribe) as a 

cooperating agency, intends to gather 

information necessary for preparing an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for a proposed hotel and casino project 

to be located on 9.8 acres of a 24.8 acre 

parcel owned by the Tribe in Romulus, 

Michigan. The purpose of the proposed 

action is to help address the 

socioeconomic needs of the Tribe. This 

notice also announces a public scoping 

meeting to identify public and agency 

concerns and alternatives to be 

considered in the EIS. The Tribes’

application seeks to have a portion of 


ycherry on PROD1PC64 with PRELIMS
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 30 / Wednesday, February 14, 2007 / Notices 7069 

the off-reservation parcel taken into 

trust pursuant to Section 5 of the Indian 

Reorganization Act and implementing 

regulations in 25 CFR part 151, and 

requests a Secretarial determination 

pursuant to Section 20(b)(1)(A) of the 

Indian Gaming Regulatory Act that a 

proposed gaming establishment on the 

parcel would be in the best interest of 

the Tribe and its members, and not 

detrimental to the surrounding 

community. We are aware that some 

members of the public have expressed 

concerns about off-reservation gaming. 

In this case, the parcel is located over 

450 miles from the Tribe’s reservation. 

We are soliciting and will consider 

accommodating the views of elected 

officials (State, county, city, etc.) and 

community members in the local areas 

as part of our decision-making process. 

We also plan a more detailed 

consideration of the broad implications 

associated with new gaming operations 

within established communities where 

gaming is not currently conducted. 

DATES: The public hearing will be held 

March 8, 2007, starting at 7 p.m. and 

continuing until all those who wish to 

make statements have been heard. 

Written comments on the scope and 

implementation of this proposal must 

arrive by March 26, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: The public scoping meeting 

will be at the Crowne Plaza Hotel 

Detroit Metro Airport, 800 Merriman 

Road, Romulus, Michigan 48174. It will 

be co-hosted by the BIA and the Tribe. 

You may mail or hand-carry written 

comments to Terrance L. Virden, 

Regional Director, Midwest Region, 

Bureau of Indian Affairs, Bishop Henry 

Whipple Federal Building, One Federal 

Drive, Room 550, Ft. Snelling, 

Minnesota 55111. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Scott Doig, (612) 725–4514. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

proposed project is located on a 24.8- 

acre site in the City of Romulus, 

Michigan. The site is situated north of 

the Detroit Metropolitan Airport, 

approximately 0.5 miles north of 

Interstate 94 and 20 miles east of 

Detroit, Michigan. As part of the project, 

the U.S. Department of the Interior, on 

behalf of the Tribe, will consider 

whether or not to take 9.8 acres of the 

24.8-acre project site into federal trust. 

In addition to the proposed action, a 

reasonable range of alternatives, which 

will include a no-action alternative and 

may include an on-reservation 

alternative, will be considered during 

the NEPA compliance process. 

The Tribe consists of approximately 

780 members. A Tribal Council, under 

a federally approved constitution, 

governs tribal affairs. The United States 

presently holds approximately 5,800 

acres of land in the upper peninsula of 

the State of Michigan in trust for the 

Tribe.

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of closure. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

effective immediately, the Bureau of 

Land Management (BLM), Monticello 

Field Office, is closing 987 acres of 

public lands in the Indian Creek Canyon 

near Monticello, Utah, to overnight 

camping. The public lands affected by 

this closure are located along Utah State 

Highway 211, in the following sections 

of T. 31 S., R. 22 E., section 31, W1⁄2 and 

in sections of T. 32 S., R. 22 E., section 

5, SW1⁄4; section 6, E1⁄2; section 7, E1⁄2;

section 17; section 20, NE1⁄4; section 21, 

N1⁄2; section 22, N1⁄2. The purpose of the 

closure is to provide for public health

vegetation that have been adversely 

impacted or are at risk of being 

adversely impacted by recreational use. 

The closure will remain in effect until 

further notice. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Sandra Meyers, Field Office Manager, 

Monticello Field Office, Bureau of Land 

Management, P.O. Box 7, Monticello, 

Utah 84535; (435) 587–1500. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM 

is implementing this action on 987 acres 

of public land in San Juan County, in 

southeast Utah. The BLM’s Monticello 

Field Office has observed and 

documented a high probability of flash 

flood danger in the Newspaper Rock 

Area. Adverse effects to soils and 

vegetation from overnight camping use 

are also present in the area. Based on 

this information, BLM’s authorized 

officer has determined that overnight 

camping in this area is causing, or will 

cause, unsafe camping opportunities for 

the public and considerable adverse 

effects upon soils and vegetation. 

Consequently, this area is being closed 

to overnight camping use. A map 

showing the closure area is available for 

public inspection at the BLM’s 

Monticello Field Office, at the above 

address. Camping use on the remainder 

of the public lands in San Juan County, 

Utah, administered by the BLM, will be 

managed according to existing Federal 

Register orders and the 1991 San Juan 

Resource Area Resource Management 

Plan. This closure order does not apply 

to: 

(1) Any Federal, state or local 

government law enforcement officer 

engaged in enforcing this closure order 

or member of an organized rescue or fire 

fighting force while in the performance 

of an official duty. 

(2) Any BLM employee, agent, 

contractor, or cooperator while in the 

performance of an official duty. 

This order shall not be construed as 

a limitation on BLM’s future planning 

efforts. The BLM will periodically 

monitor resource conditions and trends 

in the closure area and may modify this 

order or implement additional 

limitations or closures as necessary.
