SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BPA was 

established in 1937 as a Federal Power 

Marketing Agency in the Pacific 

Northwest. BPA operations are financed 

from power revenues rather than annual 

appropriations. BPA’s purchasing 

operations are conducted under 16 

U.S.C. 832 et seq. and related statutes. 

Pursuant to these special authorities, the 

BPI is promulgated as a statement of 

purchasing policy and as a body of 

interpretative regulations governing the 

conduct of BPA purchasing activities. It 

is significantly different from the 

Federal Acquisition Regulation, and 

reflects BPA’s private sector approach to 

purchasing the goods and services that 

it requires. BPA’s financial assistance 

operations are conducted under 16 

U.S.C. 839 et seq. and 16 U.S.C. 839 et 

seq. The BFAI express BPA’s financial 

assistance policy. The BFAI also 

comprise BPA’s rules governing 

implementation of the principles 

provided in the following Federal 

Regulations and/or OMB circulars: 

2 CFR Part 220 Cost Principles for 

Educational Institutions (Circular A– 

21); 

2 CFR Part 225 Cost Principles for State, 

Local and Indian Tribal Governments 

(Circular A–87); 

Grants and Cooperative Agreements 

with State and Local Governments 

(Circular A–102); 

Uniform Administrative Requirements 

for Grants and Agreements with 

Institutions of Higher Education, 

Hospitals and Other Non-Profit 

Organizations (Circular A–110); 

2 CFR Part 230 Cost Principles for NonProfit Organizations (Circular A–122); 

and 

Audits of States, Local Governments 

and Non-Profit Organizations 

(Circular A–133) 

BPA’s solicitations and contracts 

include notice of applicability and 

availability of the BPI and the BFAI, as 

appropriate, for the information of 

offerors on particular purchases or 

financial assistance transactions. 

Issued in Portland, Oregon, on September

BILLING CODE 6450–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

National Nuclear Security 

Administration 

Notice of Intent To Prepare a 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement for the Nuclear Facility 

Portion of the Chemistry and 

Metallurgy Research Building 

Replacement Project at Los Alamos 

National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM 

AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy 

(DOE), National Nuclear Security 

Administration (NNSA). 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The Council on 

Environmental Quality’s implementing 

regulations for the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (40 

CFR 1502.9[c][1] and [2]) and DOE’s 

NEPA implementing regulations (10 

CFR 1021.314) require the preparation 

of a supplement to an environmental 

impact statement (EIS) when there are 

substantial changes to a proposal or 

when there are significant new 

circumstances or information relevant to 

environmental concerns. DOE may also 

prepare a supplemental EIS at any time 

to further the purposes of NEPA. 

Pursuant to these provisions, the NNSA, 

a semi-autonomous agency within the 

DOE, intends to prepare a supplemental 

environmental impact statement (SEIS) 

to assess the potential environmental 

impacts of the construction and 

operation of the nuclear facility portion 

of the Chemistry and Metallurgy 

Research Building Replacement Project 

(CMRR–NF) at Los Alamos National 

Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, New 

Mexico. 

The CMRR Project, including the 

CMRR–NF, was the subject of NNSA’s 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

for the Chemistry and Metallurgy 

Research Building Replacement Project 

at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los 

Alamos, New Mexico (DOE/EIS–0350; 

the CMRR EIS) issued in November 

2003, and a February 2004 Record of 

Decision (ROD) (69 FR 6967). Over time, 

due in large part to detailed site 

geotechnical investigations, some 

aspects of the CMRR–NF Project have 

changed from what was foreseen when 

the CMRR EIS was prepared. The 

potential environmental impacts of 

these proposed changes will be 

analyzed in the CMRR–NF SEIS. 

DATES: NNSA invites stakeholders and 

members of the public to submit 

comments and suggestions on the scope 

of the SEIS during the SEIS scoping 

period, which starts with the 

publication of this Notice and will 

continue for 30 days until November 1, 

2010. NNSA will consider all comments 

received or postmarked by that date in 

defining the scope of this SEIS. 

Comments received or postmarked after 

that date will be considered to the 

extent practicable. Two public scoping 

meetings will be held to provide the 

public with an opportunity to present 

comments, ask questions, and discuss 

concerns regarding the SEIS with NNSA 

officials. Public scoping meetings will 

be held on October 19, 2010, at the 

White Rock Town Hall, 139 Longview 

Drive, White Rock, New Mexico and 

October 20, 2010, at the Cities of Gold 

Casino Hotel, Pojoaque, New Mexico. 

Both meetings will begin at 4 p.m. and 

end at 7 p.m. The NNSA will publish 

additional notices regarding the scoping 

meetings in local newspapers in 

advance of the scheduled meetings. Any 

necessary changes will be announced in 

the local media. 

Any agency, state, pueblo, tribe, or 

unit of local government that desires to 

be designated a cooperating agency 

should contact Mr. John Tegtmeier at 

the address listed below by the closing 

date of the scoping period.
