65372 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 204 / Friday, October 22, 2010 / Notices 

day public review and comment period, 

which we announced via several 

methods, including press releases, 

updates to constituents, and a Federal 

Register notice (74 FR 38668, August 4, 

2009). The Draft CCP/EA identified and 

evaluated three alternatives for 

managing the Refuge for the next 15 

years. Alternative A was the no-action 

alternative, which described current 

Refuge management activities. 

Alternative B (the selected alternative) 

would restore the portion of the 

Williamson River and Big Spring Creek 

on the Refuge; and expand visitor 

services. Alternative C would also 

restore the portions of the Williamson 

River and Big Springs Creek on the 

Refuge; and recommend 11,165 acres for 

wilderness designation. 

We received 56 comment letters on 

the Draft CCP and EA during the review 

period. We incorporated these received 

comments into the CCP when possible, 

and we responded to the comments in 

an appendix to the CCP. In the FONSI, 

we selected Alternative B, the basis for 

the CCP, for implementation. The 

FONSI documents our decision and is 

based on the information and analysis 

contained in the EA. 

Under the selected alternative, the 

Service would restore the portion of the 

Williamson River and Big Spring Creek 

on the Refuge; substantially improve 

management of emergent marsh, 

meadows, ponderosa pine forest and 

aspen to increase habitat value for 

migratory birds and other wildlife; 

improve and expand visitor services by 

developing new trails, interpretive 

exhibits, an environmental education 

program, and a visitor contact station; 

maintain existing hunting and fishing 

programs with minor modifications; 

increase cultural resources protection; 

and recommend no units for wilderness 

designation. The Service would also 

revise and update the MOU with the 

Klamath Tribes regarding subsistence 

hunting and gathering. The selected 

alternative best meets the Refuge’s 

purposes, vision, and goals; contributes 

to the Refuge System mission; addresses 

the significant issues and relevant 

mandates; and is consistent with 

principles of sound fish and wildlife 

management.

BILLING CODE 4310–55–P 

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Indian Affairs 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

for the Proposed Fee-to-Trust 

Conveyance of Property for the 

Cayuga Nation of New York in Cayuga 

and Seneca Counties, NY 

AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability. 

SUMMARY: This notice advises the public 

that the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) 

is making available for public review 

the Final Environmental Impact 

Statement (FEIS) for the proposed 

conveyance of 125± acres of land that is 

currently held by the Cayuga Nation of 

New York in fee status into trust status. 

The uses of the properties, which 

include two convenience stores, would 

not change. The application includes 

two properties that have been used for 

Class II Indian gaming, operational at 

the time of the application, on one 

property in Seneca County and one 

property in Cayuga County. The Class II 

Indian gaming on the Cayuga 

Reservation would be expected to 

resume if the properties are placed into 

trust. The cooperating agencies for the 

proposal are the Cayuga Nation, Seneca 

County, Cayuga County and New York 

State Department of Environmental 

Conservation. The purpose of the 

proposed action is to create a tribal land 

base and to help meet the Nation’s 

socio-economic needs. 

DATES: The Record of Decision (ROD) on 

the proposed action will be issued no 

sooner than 30 days after the release of 

the FEIS. Thus, any comments on the 

FEIS must arrive by November 22, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: You may mail, hand carry 

or telefax written comments to Franklin 

Keel, Regional Director, Eastern 

Regional Office, Bureau of Indian 

Affairs, 545 Marriott Drive, Suite 700, 

Nashville, Tennessee 37214, Telefax 

(615) 564–6701. Please see the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of 

this notice for directions for submitting 

comments and locations where copies of 

the FEIS are available. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kurt 

G. Chandler, (615) 564–6832. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

proposed alternatives are: (A) The 

Proposed Action (this is the action 

proposed by the Cayuga Indian Nation, 

to take all 125 +/¥ acres into trust); (B) 

No Action Alternative; and (C) 

Enterprise Properties into Trust (this 

alternative includes a single section of 

contiguous parcels in Seneca County 

and a single section of contiguous 

parcels in Cayuga County). Alternative 

C was proposed in order to analyze 

whether there were any specific impacts 

related to the contiguity of the parcels. 

The Draft Environmental Impact 

Statement (DEIS), dated May 2009, has 

been revised in response to comments, 

and the revision is being issued as the 

FEIS for the purposes of compliance 

with the National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969. The total acreage and 

number of parcels was reduced after the 

publication of the DEIS. The application 

originally consisted of seven parcels in 

four contiguous groups, listed under 

nine tax identification numbers. With 

the removal of a single 0.05 acre parcel 

from the application, three contiguous 

groups, listed under eight tax 

identification numbers, are currently 

under consideration for transfer into 

trust status. This revision is not 

considered significant, nor does the 

removal of the parcel from the 

application provide significant 

differences in impacts on the 

environment. Therefore, issuance of an 

additional DEIS for public review was 

not considered necessary.
