E7-3181 Filed 2-23-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6450-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Notice of Cancellation of Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement for Implementation of the Carbon Sequestration Program AGENCY: National Energy Technology Laboratory, Department of Energy.
ACTION: Notice of cancellation of Environmental Impact Statement Process. SUMMARY: The Department of Energy
(DOE)has decided to cancel the preparation of a Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement
(PEIS)for the assessment of potential environmental impacts from DOE's Carbon Sequestration Program, as described in a Notice of Intent published in the **Federal Register** on April 21, 2004 (69 FR 21514). DOE had intended to prepare the PEIS, pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), to address the potential environmental impacts of carbon sequestration technologies and potential future demonstration activities under the Carbon Sequestration Program, which is being implemented by the DOE Office of Fossil Energy through its National Energy Technology Laboratory. DOE conducted public scoping meetings in May and June 2004 in eight cities, and began preparation of the PEIS. However, upon further consideration, DOE has determined that the continuation of the PEIS did not warrant its effort and expense since the research from the Regional Partnerships and other Program activities in carbon sequestration are enhancing our understanding of the area and the PEIS would not direct any programmatic decisions at this time. DOE will continue to perform project-specific NEPA reviews of its carbon sequestration research, development and demonstration activities. In order to facilitate future project-specific NEPA reviews, DOE will make available to the public a Carbon Sequestration Reference Document, based on the data and analyses developed in conjunction with the PEIS preparation effort. DOE believes this approach would best enable the Department to meet its Carbon Sequestration Program objectives and continue to provide pertinent environmental data and analyses for future project- and site-specific NEPA reviews under the Program.

(212)556-2222. Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9, within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either: complete its environmental assessment
(EA)and place it into the Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of the final environmental impact statement
(FEIS)or EA for this proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to complete all Federal authorizations within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA. There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or before the comment date, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10).

A party must submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders in the proceeding. However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project. The Commission will consider these comments in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly involved in the protest. Comments, protests and interventions may be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)

On June 6, 2005, the Commission staff granted Sonora's request to utilize the Pre-Filing Process and assigned Docket No. PF05-15-000 to staff activities involving Sonora's project. Now, as of the filing of Sonora's applications on January 31, 2007, the Pre-Filing Process for this project has officially concluded. And while the PF Docket Number is now closed, all of the information contained in the Pre-Filing Process will become part of the proceeding. From this time forward, Sonora's proceeding will be conducted in Docket Nos. CP07-74-000, CP07-75-000, CP07-76-000, and CP07-77-000 as noted in the caption of this Notice. All future correspondence should refer to these CP docket numbers only. Pursuant to Section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9, within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either: complete its environmental assessment
(EA)and place it into the Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of the final environmental impact statement
(FEIS)or EA for this proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA. There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of this Project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by becoming a party to the proceeding for this project should file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10) by the comment date, below. A person obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders in the proceeding. However, a person does not have to intervene to have comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project and/or associated pipeline. The Commission will consider these comments in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly involved in the protest. Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings associated with the Commission's environmental review process. Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court review of the Commission's final order. Protests and interventions may be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper; see 18 CFR 285.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site under the “e-filing” link.

E7-3230 Filed 2-23-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Project No. 2277] AmerenUE; Notice of Scoping Meetings and Intent To Prepare an Environmental Document February 13, 2007. By letter dated February 2, 2007 to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, AmerenUE (licensee) affirmed its intention to rebuild the upper reservoir of the Taum Sauk Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 2277). The Taum Sauk Project is located in Reynolds County, Missouri near the town of Lesterville. The upper reservoir was severely damaged during an uncontrolled breach of the northwest corner of the reservoir on December 14, 2005. The proposed project involves rebuilding the upper reservoir with a concrete-faced, symmetrical, roller compacted concrete
(RCC)dam. The work would involve the complete removal of the existing rockfill dike that forms the upper reservoir and the construction of an RCC dam using the existing rockfill as the aggregate. The Commission intends to prepare an environmental document under the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA)for the Taum Sauk upper reservoir rebuilding project. The NEPA document will be used by the Commission to identify environmental impacts and to identify measures that would help mitigate the impacts caused by construction activities. To support and assist our environmental review, we are beginning a public scoping process to ensure that all pertinent issues are identified and analyzed, and that the environmental document is thorough and balanced. We invite the participation of governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and the general public in the scoping process, and will be preparing Scoping Document
(SD)to provide information on the proposed project and to solicit written and verbal comments and suggestions on our preliminary list of issues and alternatives to be addressed in the NEPA document. The SD will be distributed to parties on the mailing list for this project, as well as other individuals and organizations that we have identified as having an interest in the Taum Sauk Project. The SD will be available from our Public Reference Room at
(202)208-1371. It will also be accessible online at *http://www.ferc.gov* using the “eLibrary” link—select “General Search”, and enter “P-2277” in the “Docket Number” box. You may also call (202)-208-2222 for assistance. Following distribution of the SD, Commission staff will hold two scoping meetings on March 12, 2007, to receive input on the appropriate scope of the environmental analysis. The first meeting will be with the resource agencies to focus on their concerns and the second meeting will be with the general public to receive their input. Each meeting is open and the public and agencies may attend either or both meetings. The times and locations of these meetings are as follows: Agency Scoping Meeting *Date:* March 12, 2007. *Time:* 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. (CST). *Location:* Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Elm Street Conference Center, 1738 East Elm Street, Jefferson City, Missouri 65102. Public Scoping Meeting *Date:* March 12, 2007. *Time:* 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. (CST). *Location:* Lesterville High School, State Highway 21, Lesterville, Missouri 63654. At the scoping meetings, Commission staff will:
(1)Summarize the environmental issues tentatively identified for analysis in the environmental document;
(2)solicit from the meeting participants all available information, especially quantifiable data, on the resources at issue;
(3)encourage statements from experts and the public on issues that should be analyzed in the Commission's NEPA document, including viewpoints in opposition to, or in support of, staff's preliminary views expressed in the SD;
(4)determine the resource issues to be addressed in the NEPA document; and
(5)identify those issues that require a detailed analysis, as well as those issues that do not require a detailed analysis. Staff will also be soliciting input on potential measures that could be implemented to minimize construction-related impacts. The meetings will be recorded by a stenographer and become part of the formal record for this project. Individuals, organizations, and agencies with environmental expertise and concerns are encouraged to attend the meetings and assist Commission staff in defining and clarifying the issues to be addressed in the NEPA document. Interested parties may also file written scoping comments. All such comments (original and eight copies) should be filed with: Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. The deadline for filing scoping comments is April 11, 2007. Scoping comments may be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) or the instructions on the Commission's Web site ( *http://www.ferc.gov* ) under the “e-Filing” link. Please direct any questions about the scoping process to Thomas J.

(UIC)permit applications under the Safe Drinking Water Act
(SDWA)for that land. DATES: The determination was signed on February 6, 2007. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Albright, at *albright.david@epa.gov* , or 415.972.3971. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the late 1980s, Hydro Resources, Inc.
(HRI)sought a UIC permit for its property located within the Section 8 land. After considering materials submitted by the Navajo Nation and the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED), EPA determined that the Indian country status of the Section 8 land was in dispute and, thus, that EPA would be the appropriate agency to issue the SDWA UIC permit. The State of New Mexico and HRI challenged EPA's determination. In 2000, in *HRI* v. *EPA,* 198 F.3d 1224 (10th Cir. 2000), the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit upheld EPA's decision to implement the UIC program throughout HRI's Section 8 land because the Indian country status of that land was in dispute. The Court remanded the matter to EPA to make a final administrative decision on the Indian country status of the disputed land. In 2005, HRI approached NMED concerning a UIC permit for its proposed mining operations on the Section 8 land. In response, NMED formally requested that EPA determine the Indian country status of the Section 8 land to identify whether EPA or NMED is the appropriate agency to consider a UIC permit application from HRI for that land. On November 2, 2005, EPA issued a **Federal Register** notice (see 70 FR 66402) inviting written comments and information from the public and interested parties on whether the Section 8 land constituted a dependent Indian community in whole or in part. EPA received comments from twenty-five
(25)commenters, including HRI, the Navajo Nation, the State of New Mexico, and others. The Agency reviewed the status of the land in light of the comments it received, the existing case law, and a November 3, 2006 opinion from the United States Department of the Interior
(DOI)Solicitor, who has special expertise on Indian country questions. EPA also consulted with the Navajo Nation pursuant to its federal trustee relationship. On February 6, 2007, EPA issued its final determination concluding that the Section 8 land is part of a dependent Indian community under 18 U.S.C. 1151(b) and, thus, “Indian country.” EPA is therefore the appropriate agency to consider underground injection control permit applications under the Safe Drinking Water Act
(SDWA)for that land. For a copy of the Determination and other supporting material, go to *http://www.epa.gov/region09/water/groundwater/permit-determination.html* . Dated: February 15, 2007.
