Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 39 / Tuesday, February 28, 1995 / Notices 10837

Federal actions require adherence to

the National Environmental Policy Act.

This Act requires the development of an

environmental assessment or an EIS

which analyzes the effects of the

proposed Federal action(s) on the

environment. This notice initiates the

process of developing an EIS.

Alternatives developed though this

process will be included in the EIS as

well as an analysis of their potential

impacts on the environment.

The Trustees have scheduled four

meetings to initiate this process. The

purpose of these meetings is to

introduce the public to the Trustee

Council, define the Council’s role and

responsibilities, explain what

restoration means and the legal

requirements that must be followed:

Describe and seek comment on the

Trustee Council’s goals, objectives, and

project selection criteria; and provide

guidance and receive comment on how

restoration projects should be presented

for consideration.

These meetings are the first step in

the restoration plan/EIS development

process. Meetings of the Trustee Council

are open to the public and the public is

invited to attend and participate. The

Trustees will be seeking public

participation through citizen advisors

who can play a continuing role in

restoration plan development. Once a

draft restoration plan/EIS is developed,

public hearings will be held on the

content before any such plan is

finalized.
