Rico. The proposed facility would 

process approximately 2,100 tons of 

municipal waste per day and generate a 

gross capacity of approximately 77 

megawatts (MW). The Puerto Rico 

Electric Power Authority will purchase 

the power generated from the facility. 

The preferred location of the facility is 

the former site of the Global Fibers 

Paper Mill and would encompass 

approximately 79.6 acres of the 90-acre 

parcel. The proposal would include the 

following facility components: A 

municipal solid waste receiving and 

processing building; processed refuse 

fuel storage building; boiler and steam 

turbine; emission control system; ash 

processing and storage building; and 

other associated infrastructure and 

buildings. Two other connected actions 

include installation of an approximately 

2.0-mile raw water line and 

construction of a 115 kilovolt (kV) 

transmission line approximately 0.8 

miles in length. The connected actions 

will be addressed in the EIS. 

Among the alternatives that RUS will 

address in the EIS is the No Action 

alternative, under which the proposal 

would not be undertaken. In the EIS, the 

effects of the proposal will be compared 

to the existing conditions in the 

proposal area. Public health and safety, 

environmental impacts, and engineering 

aspects of the proposal will be 

considered in the EIS. 

RUS is the lead Federal agency, as 

defined at 40 CFR 1501.5, for 

preparation of the EIS. With this Notice, 

Federal and State agencies and federally 

recognized Native American Tribes with 

jurisdiction or special expertise are 

invited to be cooperating agencies. Such 

agencies or tribes may make a request to 

RUS to be a cooperating agency by 

contacting the RUS contact provided in 

this Notice. Designated cooperating 

agencies have certain responsibilities to 

support the NEPA and scoping process, 

as specified at 40 CFR 1501.6(b). 

As part of its broad environmental 

review process, RUS must take into 

account the effect of the proposal on 

historic properties in accordance with 

Section 106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act (Section 106) and its 

implementing regulation, ‘‘Protection of 

Historic Properties’’ (36 CFR part 800). 

Pursuant to 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3), RUS is 

using its procedures for public 

involvement under NEPA to meet its 

responsibilities to solicit and consider 

the views of the public during Section 

106 review. Accordingly, comments 

submitted in response to this Notice 

will inform RUS decision-making 

during Section 106 review. 

As applicable, the EIS will document 

changes in the affected environment and 

environmental consequences that may 

have occurred since the PRIDCOprepared Final EIS was published in 

2010 and USEPA’s PSD permit action. 

The PRIDCO-prepared Final EIS is 

available in both Spanish and English 

for review at the addresses provided in 

this Notice. USEPA PSD permit actions 

are available for review at the address 

provided in this notice. RUS’s EIS will 

incorporate this documentation by 

reference and focus on those topics that 

have changed since PRIDCO’s Final EIS 

was published. RUS’s Draft EIS will be 

available for review and comment for 45 

days. Following the 45-day review 

period, RUS will prepare a Final EIS. 

After a 30-day review period, RUS will 

publish a Record of Decision (ROD). 

Notices announcing the availability of 

the Draft EIS, Final EIS and the ROD 

will be published in the Federal 

Register and in local newspapers. 

Any final action by RUS related to the 

proposal will be subject to, and 

contingent upon, compliance with all 

relevant executive orders and federal, 

state, and local environmental laws and 

regulations in addition to the 

completion of the environmental review 

requirements as prescribed in RUS’s 

Environmental Policies and Procedures, 

7 CFR part 1794, as amended.
