DEPARTMENT OF STATE

Office of the Secretary

[Public Notice 2178]

Extension of the Restriction on the Use

of United States Passports for Travel

To, In, or Through Iraq

On February 1, 1991, pursuant to the

authority of 22 U.S.C. 211a and

Executive Order 11295 (31 FR 10603),

and in accordance with 22 CFR 51.73

(a)(2) and (a)(3), all United States

passports, with certain exceptions, were

declared invalid for travel to, in, or

through Iraq unless specifically

validated for such travel. The restriction

was originally imposed because armed

hostilities then were taking place in Iraq

and Kuwait, and because there was an

imminent danger to the safety of United

States travelers to Iraq. American

citizens then residing in Iraq and

American professional reporters and

journalists on assignment there were

exempted from the restrictions on the

ground that such exemptions were in

the national interest. The restriction was

extended for additional one year periods

on February 18, 1992, February 23,

1993, and February 26, 1994.

Although armed hostilities have

ended, conditions in Iraq remain

unsettled and hazardous. Regional

conflicts continue in northern Iraq

between Kurdish ethnic groups and

Iraqi security forces. In southern Iraq,

military repression of the Shia

communities is severe, rendering

conditions unsafe. Iraq’s economy was

severely damaged during the Gulf War

and continues to be affected by the U.N.

economic sanctions. Basic modern

medical care and medicines may not be

available to our citizens in case of

emergency.

U.S. citizens and other foreigners

working inside Kuwait near the Iraqi

borders have been detained by Iraqi

authorities in the past and sentenced to

lengthy jail terms for illegal entry into

the country. Athough our interests are

represented by the Embassy of Poland in

Bagdad, its ability to obtain consular

access to detained U.S. citizens and to

perform emergency services is

constrained by Iraqi unwillingness to

cooperate.

In light of these circumstances, I have

determined that Iraq continues to be a

country ‘‘* * * where there is

imminent danger to the public health or

physical safety of United States

travelers.’’

Accordingly, United States passports

shall continue to be invalid for use in

travel to, in, or through Iraq unless

specifically validated for such travel

under the authority of the Secretary of

State. The restriction shall not apply to

American citizens residing in Iraq on

February 1, 1991, who continue to

reside there, or to American

professional reporters or journalists on

assignment there.

The Public Notice shall be effective

upon publication in the Federal

Register and shall expire at the end of

one year unless sooner extended or

revoked by Public Notice.

Dated: March 3, 1995.

Warren Christopher,

Secretary of State.

BILLING CODE 4710–10–M

TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY

Environmental Impact Statement:

Water Supply Development for the

Duck River Region, South Central

Tennessee

AGENCY: Tennessee Valley Authority.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The Tennessee Valley

Authority (TVA) will cooperate with the

Tennessee Duck River Development

Agency (TDRDA) to prepare an

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

on water supply development and

alternatives for the Columbia Dam

component of the Duck River project.

Located on the Duck River in south

central Tennessee, the Columbia Dam

cannot be completed as originally

planned due to the presence of

endangered species. This EIS will

consider a range of alternatives to

provide an adequate and reliable water

supply for the Columbia area, including

Bedford, Marshall, Maury, and southern

Williamson counties. Alternatives to be

considered will include construction of

a water supply dam and impoundment

on Fountain Creek; installation of one or

more water pipelines from existing

reservoirs or streams; use of

groundwater wells; and other

alternatives identified during the

scoping process. With this notice, TVA

and TDRDA invite comments on the

scope of this EIS. This notice is

provided in accordance with the

National Environmental Policy Act

(NEPA) and TVA’s implementing

procedures.

DATES: Written comments on the scope

of the EIS must be received at the

address below on or before June 5, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to

Dale V. Wilhelm, NEPA Liaison,

Tennessee Valley Authority, WT 8C,

400 West Summit Hill Drive, Knoxville,

Tennessee 37902–1499.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Jack L. Davis, Manager, Water Resource

Projects, Tennessee Valley Authority,

WT 10C, 400 West Summit Hill Drive,

Knoxville, Tennessee 37902–1499,

phone (615) 632–7183.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: TVA and

local officials in the upper Duck River

watershed area, south central

Tennessee, began a cooperative effort in

1964 to advance economic growth and

provide an adequate and dependable

water supply for the region. As the

TDRDA, a State agency, worked to

develop a water supply system to

connect the five largest cities in the

watershed, TVA was requested to

investigate water resource development.

In 1965, TVA concluded that

multipurpose reservoir development on

the mainstem of the Duck River offered

the best potential for meeting the area’s

water supply needs. The construction of

dams on the river would control

flooding, create water supply sources,

and provide opportunities for waterbased recreation. After further study,

TVA proposed construction of two

dams: one at Duck River Mile (DRM)

136.7, near Columbia, and an upstream

dam at DRM 248.6 near Normandy. The

proposed dams and reservoirs were

presented in a 1968 planning report as

components of the Duck River Project.

Following the enactment of NEPA,

TVA issued a draft EIS on the Duck

River Project in June 1971. A public

hearing was held in August 1971 and a

final EIS (TVA–OHES–EIS–72–5) was

issued in April 1972. The final EIS was
