Purposes Study, Missouri River Basin, 

United States 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of Public Scoping 

Meetings. 

SUMMARY: In the April 16, 2010 Federal 

Register (75 FR 19948), the U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers (USACE) Omaha and 

Kansas City Districts announced in a 

Notice of Intent (NOI) that it will 

prepare a comprehensive feasibilitytype report with an integrated 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for the Missouri River Authorized 

Purposes Study (MRAPS). The NOI did 

not include specific details of the public 

scoping meetings. This notice 

announces the locations, dates, times, 

and format of the public scoping 

meetings. 

Public Law 111–8 authorizes the 

USACE to review the original project 

purposes within the Missouri River 

Basin based on the Flood Control Act of 

1944, as amended, and other subsequent 

relevant legislation and judicial rulings 

to determine if changes to the 

authorized project purposes and 

existing federal water resource 

infrastructure may be warranted. The 

authorized Missouri River project 

purposes are: Flood control, navigation, 

irrigation, power, water supply, water 

quality, recreation, and fish and 

wildlife. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be sent to: Missouri River Authorized 

Purposes Study; Department of the 

Army; Corps of Engineers, Omaha 

District; CENWO–PM–AA; 1616 Capitol 

Avenue; Omaha, NE 68102–4901. 

Comments can also be e-mailed to: 

mraps@usace.army.mil. Comments on 

the scope of the Missouri River 

Authorized Purposes Study must be 

postmarked, e-mailed, or otherwise 

submitted no later than September 20th, 

2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Background. The 1944 Flood 

Control Act, as amended, and 

subsequent legislation have directed the 

USACE to allocate the River’s resources 

among the authorized Missouri River 

project purposes; which are: Flood 

control, navigation, irrigation, power, 

water supply, water quality, recreation, 

and fish and wildlife. 

Section 108 of the Energy and Water 

Development Section of the FY09 

Omnibus Appropriations Act provides 

the USACE authorization to study the 

Missouri River projects located within 

the Missouri River Basin to review the 

original authorized project purposes to 

determine if changes to the project 

purposes and existing Federal water 

resource infrastructure may be 

warranted. The study authorized by 

Section 108 will be referred to as the 

Missouri River Authorized Purposes 

Study (MRAPS). The MRAPS is a broadbased multi-purpose study that is 

anticipated to culminate in a 

comprehensive feasibility-type report 

with an integrated EIS. The MRAPS will 

be conducted in accordance with NEPA 

and with the ‘‘Principles and Guidelines 

for Water and Related Land Resource 

Implementation Studies’’ (Water 

Resource Council, 1983). 

2. Scoping. The Omaha and Kansas 

City Districts of the U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers invites all interested entities 

including Tribal governments, Federal 

agencies, state and local governments, 

and the general public to comment on 

the scope of the Missouri River 

Authorized Purposes Study (MRAPS). 

The public scoping period began with 

the publication of the NOI in the 

Federal Register (75 FR 19948) on April 

16, 2010 and will continue until 

September 20, 2010. 

All public scoping meetings will use 

an open house format. Informational 

materials about the Missouri River 

Authorized Purposes Study and the 

eight authorized purposes will be 

located throughout the room for 

participant perusal throughout the 

evening. Corps representatives will be 

available to meet one-on-one with 

meeting participants. Written comments 

will be collected on comment cards and 

computer terminals, and a court reporter 

will be at the meeting for those who 

wish to make formal verbal comments. 

All forms of comment will be weighted 

equally. Input from the scoping 

meetings, along with comments 

received by other means (regular mail or 

e-mail), will be used to refine the scope 

of issues to be addressed by the 

Missouri River Authorized Purposes 

Study.
