4,400 feet in length. Alternative B—

Proposed Action would begin at the

Luther Pass Pump Station and end

within the Forest Service campground

at a connection with the B-Line Phase

I replacement project. The total length

of the proposed action is approximately

5,900 feet. The proposed action would

begin at the pump station, generally

follow the hillside contours to the

south, cross Grass Lake Creek, cross

South Upper Truckee Road twice,

continue on to Highway 89, cross

Highway 89, follow the campground

access road, and end at the terminus of

the B-Line Phase I replacement project

that was constructed in 1996.

Alternative C—Parallel Existing

Roadways would follow existing

roadway rights-of-way. This alternative

would use Grass Lake Road to the

intersection of Highway 89. At the

intersection of Grass Lake Road and

Highway 89, the alternative would

follow Highway 89 south to the

campground access road. At this

intersection, Alternative C would follow

the same route as Alternative B to the

project’s terminus. This alternative

would be approximately 16,000 feet in

length. Approximately 8,700 feet of the

pipeline alignment would be located

within Highway 89. Of this total,

approximately 60 percent (5,200 feet)

would have to be located inside the fog

line of the highway (within the roadway

pavement). Due to the pipeline’s length,

additional storage capacity may be

needed at the Luther Pass Pump Station

to allow for the draining of the pipeline

during maintenance operations. This

additional storage capacity would

require construction of a third storage

tank, or enlargement of an existing tank.

As a sub-alternative to Alternative C, the

Luther Pass Pump Station may be

relocated to a location near the

intersection of Grass Lake Road and

Highway 89. Alternative D—No Project/

No Action would maintain the existing

pipeline that was constructed in 1969.

While no immediate action would

occur, the continued use of the existing

pipeline will increase the chances of a

pipeline break. Pipeline breaks require

immediate repair by the District.

Commenting: The draft environmental

impact statement is expected to be

available for public review and

comment in May 2002. The comment

period on the draft statement will be at

least 45 days from the date of

availability published in the Federal

Register by the Environmental

Protection Agency. The final

environmental impact statement and its

Record of Decision is expected in

October 2002.

The Forest Service believes, at this

early stage, it is important to give

reviewers notice of several court rulings

related to public participation in the

environmental review process. First,

reviewers of draft EIS’s must structure

their participation in the environmental

review of the proposal so that it is

meaningful and alerts an agency to the

reviewer’s position and contentions.

Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp. v.

NRDC, 435 U.S. 519, 553 (1978). Also,

environmental objections that could be

raised at the draft EIS stage but that are

not raised until after completion of the

final EIS may be waived or dismissed by

the courts. City of Angoon v. Hodel, 803

F.2d 1016, 1022 (9th Circut, 1986) and

Wisconsin Heritages, Inc. v. Harris, 490

F. Supp. 1334, 1338 (E.D. Wis. 1980).

Because of these court rulings, it is very

important that those interested in this

proposed action participate by the close

of the comment period so that

substantive comments and objections

are made available to the Forest Service

at a time when it can meaningfully

consider them and respond to them in

the final EIS. To assist the Forest

Service in identifying and considering

issues and concerns on the proposed

action, comments should be as specific

as possible. It is helpful if comments

refer to specific pages or chapters of the

draft statement. Comments may also

address the adequacy of the draft EIS or

the merits of the alternatives formulated

and discussed in the statement.

Reviewers may wish to refer to the

Council on Environmental Quality

Regulations for implementing the

procedural provisions of the National

Environmental Policy Act at 40 CFR

1503.3 in addressing these points. The

decision will be appealable under

applicable Forest Service regulations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July

13, August 3, August 10, August 17,

October 19 and October 26, 2001, the

Committee for Purchase From People

Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled

published notices (66 FR 36741, 40671,

42197, 43180, 53201, 54193/94) of

proposed additions to and deletions

from the Procurement List:

Additions

After consideration of the material

presented to it concerning capability of

qualified nonprofit agencies to provide

the commodities and services and

impact of the additions on the current

or most recent contractors, the

Committee has determined that the

commodities and services listed below

are suitable for procurement by the

Federal Government under 41 U.S.C.

46–48c and 41 CFR 51–2.4.

I certify that the following action will

not have a significant impact on a

substantial number of small entities.

The major factors considered for this

certification were:

1. The action will not result in any

additional reporting, recordkeeping or

other compliance requirements for small

entities other than the small

organizations that will furnish the

commodities and services to the

Government.

2. The action will not have a severe

economic impact on current contractors

for the commodities and services.

3. The action will result in

authorizing small entities to furnish the

commodities and services to the

Government.

4. There are no known regulatory

alternatives which would accomplish

the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46–48c) in

connection with the commodities and

services proposed for addition to the

Procurement List.

Accordingly, the following

commodities and services are added to

the Procurement List:
