regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500–1508), 

other applicable Federal laws and 

regulations, and applicable policies and 

procedures of the Service. This notice is 

being furnished in accordance with 40 

CFR 1501.7 of the NEPA regulations to 

obtain suggestions and information from 

other agencies and the public on the 

scope of issues and alternatives to be 

addressed in the environmental 

document. 

The public scoping meeting will 

allocate time for presentations by the 

Service and KIUC; this will be followed 

by a period for the submission of oral 

and/or written comments. All comments 

and materials received, including names 

and addresses of those presenting them, 

will become part of the administrative 

record and may be released to the 

public.
