Coast Guard, require additional permits

related to their respective regulatory

functions; the U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers may also require separate

permits.) To date, with respect to each

permit application, the Department has

issued a Finding of No Significant

Impact, based on an Environmental

Assessment (EA), consistent with the

requirements of the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as

amended, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.

(NEPA).

With several bridges permitted to date

and given the expectation of continuing

permit applications, the Department

intends to prepare voluntarily a

Programmatic Environmental Impact

Statement (PEIS) to assess the

cumulative environmental impacts in

the United States of existing bridges

along the Texas/Mexico border. The

PEIS will also describe the general types

of projects expected in the foreseeable

future and will address the types of

impacts that are expected to result from

the continuation of present permitting

procedures. The Department will use

the results of the PEIS to inform both

the manner and substance of its

permitting process.

In undertaking this PEIS, the

Department has elected to follow the

procedures pertaining to the preparation

of programmatic environmental impact

statements contained in the NEPA

regulations promulgated by the Council

on Environmental Quality, 40 CFR 1500

et seq., as well as by the Department, 22

CFR 161 et seq. The Department, EPA,

F&WS, IBWC, Coast Guard, GSA and

other Federal, state and local agencies

will be able to develop supplemental

EISs or incorporate the PEIS into future

NEPA documentation (EAs or EISs), as

allowed by NEPA, for activities or

locations not specifically addressed in

the PEIS.

ALTERNATIVES PROPOSED: Alternatives to

be considered include the No Action

alternative. Other alternatives identified

during the scoping process will be

discussed in the Draft PEIS.

PUBLIC SCOPING: Comments received as

a result of this notice will be used to

assist the Department primarily in

identifying the alternatives to be

included in the PEIS and in assessing

the impacts, in the United States, of

these alternatives on the quality of the

human environment. Scoping meetings

will be held the week of May 8 in

Harlingen, Laredo and El Paso, Texas to

identify alternatives and significant

issues related to the PEIS. The exact

dates, times and locales for these

meetings will be published in local

newspapers. Individuals or

organizations may participate in the

scoping process by providing written

comments or by attending the scoping

meetings. Written comments may be

forwarded to either:
