in question; and (3) encourage

statements from experts and the public

on issues that should be analyzed in the

EA.

Although International Paper’s intent

is to prepare an EA, there is the

possibility that an Environmental

Impact Statement (EIS) will be required.

Nevertheless, this meeting will satisfy

the NEPA scoping requirements,

irrespective of whether an EA or EIS is

issued by the Commission.

Although this meeting is geared

toward agency interests, interested

individuals, organizations, and agencies

are invited and encouraged to attend

and assist in identifying an clarifying

the scope of environmental issues that

should be analyzed in the EA.

To help focus the discussions, a

scoping document was sent out on

December 7, 1995, as part of the Initial

Stage Consultation Document (ISCD).

Copies of the Scoping Document and

ISCD will also be available at the

meetings.

The meeting will be held on February

8, 1996, at 9:30 a.m. at the Hudson River

Mill, Corinth, New York. A cooperative

team meeting will follow the agency

scoping meeting.

Meeting Procedures

The meeting will be conducted

according to the procedures used at

Commission scoping meetings. Because

this meeting will be a NEPA scoping

meeting, the Commission will not

conduct another NEPA scoping meeting

when the application and EA are filed

with the Commission in April 1998.

Instead, Commission staff will attend

the meeting held on February 8, 1996.

The meetings will be recorded by a

stenographer and, thereby, will become

a part of the formal record of the

proceedings on the Curtis/Palmer Falls

Project. Individuals presenting

statements at the meetings will be asked

to identify themselves for the record.

Concerned parties are encouraged to

offer verbal guidance during public

meetings. Speaking time allowed for

individuals will be determined before

each meeting, based on the number of

persons wishing to speak and the

approximate amount of time available

for the session, but all speakers will be

provided at least five minutes to present

their views.

Persons choosing not to speak but

wishing to express an opinion, as well

as speakers unable to summarize their

positions within the allotted time, may

submit written statements for inclusion

in the public record.

Written scoping comments may also

be mailed to Robert Hunziker,

International Paper Company, Two

Manhattanville Road, Purchase, New

York 10577, by March 11, 1996.
