Farm Bill (Pub. L. 110–246); the 2008 

Farm Bill amended Title IX (Section 

9011) of the Farm Security and Rural 

Investment Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107– 

171, commonly known as the 2002 Farm 

Bill). BCAP is intended to support the 

establishment and production of crops 

for conversion to bio-energy in project 

areas (locations) and to assist with 

collection, harvest, storage, and 

transportation of eligible material for 

use in a biomass conversion facility. 

As a new energy program, BCAP 

presents an opportunity to encourage 

landowners and operators to produce 

biomass for commercial energy 

production in ways that both are 

economically and environmentally 

sound. CCC plans to implement BCAP 

by approving the best-qualifying project 

proposals from project sponsors and 

then entering into contracts with 

individual producers in the approved 

project locations. 

Under the National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA), the EIS process 

provides a means for the public to 

provide input on implementation 

alternatives and on environmental 

concerns. This notice informs the public 

of CCC’s intention to prepare an EIS for 

BCAP.
