(307)361-7600. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FEIS analyzes and discloses to the public direct, indirect, and cumulative environmental impacts of issuing a Federal coal lease in the Wyoming portion of the Powder River Basin. The BLM is considering issuing a coal lease as a result of a September 20, 2001, application submitted by CMC to lease Federal coal near the Cordero Rojo Mine, approximately 15 miles south-southeast of Gillette, Wyoming. CMC, the operator of the mine, applied to lease the tract as a maintenance tract to extend the life of their existing mining operations under the provisions of the Leasing by Application regulations at 43 CFR 3425. This tract, case number WYW154432, is referred to as the Maysdorf Coal Tract. The following lands in Campbell County, Wyoming are included in the tract as applied for: T. 46 N., R. 71 W., 6th P.M., Wyoming Section 4: Lots 5, 6, 7 (E 1/2 E 1/2 ), 10 (E 1/2 E 1/2 ), 11, 12; Section 10: Lots 1, 2, 3 (N 1/2 , N 1/2 S 1/2 ), 4 (N 1/2 , N 1/2 S 1/2 ), 5 (N 1/2 , N 1/2 S 1/2 ), 6 (N 1/2 , N 1/2 S 1/2 ); Section 11: Lots 1 through 8, 9 (N 1/2 , N 1/2 S 1/2 ), 10 (N 1/2 , N 1/2 S 1/2 ), 11 (N 1/2 , N 1/2 S 1/2 ), 12 (N 1/2 , N 1/2 S 1/2 ); T. 47 N., R. 71 W, 6th P.M., Wyoming Section 8: Lots 3 through 6, 11 through 13; Section 21: Lots 1, 2, 3 (E 1/2 E 1/2 ), 6 (E 1/2 E 1/2 ), 7 through 10, 11 (E 1/2 E 1/2 ), 14 (E 1/2 E 1/2 ), 15, 16; Section 28: Lots 1, 2, 3 (E 1/2 E 1/2 ), 6 (E 1/2 E 1/2 ), 7 through 10, 11 (E 1/2 E 1/2 ), 14 (E 1/2 E 1/2 ), 15, 16; Section 33: Lots 1, 2, 3 (E 1/2 E 1/2 ), 6 (E 1/2 E 1/2 ), 7 through 10, 11 (E 1/2 E 1/2 ), 14 (E 1/2 E 1/2 ), 15, 16; Containing 2,219.39 acres, more or less. CMC estimates that approximately 234.8 million tons of in-place Federal coal are included in the tract. The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM), the Land Quality Division of the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ), and the Wyoming State Planning Office

(WSPO)are cooperating agencies in the preparation of the FEIS. If the tract is leased as a maintenance tract, the new lease will be incorporated into the existing mining and reclamation plan for the adjacent mine. The Secretary of the Interior must approve the revision to the Mineral Leasing Act

(MLA)mining plan before the Federal coal can be mined. If the tract is leased, OSM is the Federal agency that would be responsible for recommending approval, approval with conditions, or disapproval of the revised MLA mining plan to the Office of the Secretary of the Interior. WDEQ has entered into a cooperative agreement with the Secretary of the Interior to regulate surface coal mining operations on Federal and non-Federal lands within the State of Wyoming. WSPO coordinates planning within state agencies and facilitates collaboration among the agencies, the Federal Government, other states, the private sector, and the general public. On February 1, 2005, the BLM published its Notice of Intent

(NOI)to prepare an EIS for the Maysdorf coal lease application in the **Federal Register** . A notice announcing the availability of the Draft EIS was published in the **Federal Register** by the EPA on May 26, 2006. A 60-day comment period on the Draft EIS commenced with publication of the EPA's notice of availability and ended on July 25, 2006. The BLM published a Notice of Availability and Notice of Public Hearing in the **Federal Register** on May 26, 2006. The BLM's **Federal Register** notice announced the date and time of a public hearing, which was held on June 13, 2006, in Gillette, Wyoming. The purpose of the hearing was to solicit comments on the DEIS, fair market value, and the maximum economic recovery of the Federal coal. During the review and comment period, the BLM received written comments from five entities, which are included, with agency responses, in an appendix to the FEIS. The FEIS analyzes leasing the above described tract as applied for as a separate Proposed Action. Under this alternative, a competitive sale would be held and a lease issued for Federal coal in the tract as applied for by Cordero. As part of the coal leasing process, BLM identified different tract configurations that would potentially avoid bypassing coal or prompt competitive interest in the unleased Federal coal in this area. The tract configurations that BLM has identified are described and analyzed as separate alternatives in the FEIS. Under these alternatives, a competitive sale would be held and a lease issued for Federal coal lands included in a tract modified by the BLM. The FEIS also analyzes the alternative of rejecting the application to lease Federal coal as the No Action Alternative. The Proposed Action and alternatives being considered in the FEIS are in conformance with the “Approved Resource Management Plan for Public Lands Administered by the Bureau of Land Management Buffalo Field Office” (April 2001). A Record of Decision

(ROD)will be prepared after the close of the review period for the FEIS. Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. Comments received on the FEIS will be considered during preparation of the ROD. Dated: February 27, 2007. Alan Rabinoff, Acting State Director. [FR Doc.

E7-6907 Filed 4-11-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4310-33-P INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY AND WATER COMMISSION, UNITED STATES AND MEXICO United States Section; Notice of Availability of a Draft Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact for Flood Control Improvements From International Dam to Riverside Diversion Dam, Within the Rio Grande Rectification Project, Located in El Paso County, TX AGENCY: United States Section, International Boundary and Water Commission. *Proposed Action:* Levee height improvements within an approximate 15-mile reach from International Dam to Riverside Diversion Dam in El Paso, El Paso County, Texas to meet the current Federal Emergency Management Agency

(FEMA)freeboard requirements. *Report Designation:* Environmental Assessment. SUMMARY: The United States Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC) has prepared an Environmental Assessment

(EA)for a proposed action to raise the levee system from International Dam to Riverside Diversion Dam, in El Paso County, Texas. The levee system under consideration for this EA, approximately 15-miles long, is located entirely within the city limits of El Paso, Texas. This reach of levee system was recently identified as one of the priority areas within the Rio Grande Rectification Project for flood control improvements. The need for improvements to the levee system was determined by hydraulic modeling completed by the USIBWC in 2003. The USIBWC hydraulic study for this reach indicated that an increase in levee height would be required to meet design criteria for flood protection. An increase from 0.5 to 1.5 feet is anticipated for approximately 5.1 miles of levee. The increase in levee height would expand the levee footprint by lateral extension of the structure. Levee footprint increases in this reach will occur within the USIBWC right-of-way

(ROW)and may extend primarily toward the riverside of the existing levee or to the landside given available ROW. FEMA decertification of USIBWC levees in El Paso County, Texas has resulted in the need to rehabilitate the levees to FEMA criteria; draft Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps will be issued in spring of 2007. The USIBWC plans on raising approximately 5.1 miles of USIBWC levees within the International Dam to Riverside Diversion Dam to meet the minimum 3 feet of freeboard criteria. The Environmental Assessment assesses potential environmental impacts of the Proposed Action and the No Action Alternative. A Draft Finding of No Significant Impact was issued for the Proposed Action, including mitigation measures, based on a review of the facts and analyses contained in the Environmental Assessment. An environmental impact statement will not be prepared unless additional information which may affect this decision is brought to our attention within 30-days from the date of this Notice. *Availability:* Copies of the Draft Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact may be obtained by request from Mr. Daniel Borunda, 4171 North Mesa, Suite C-100, El Paso, Texas 79902, e-mail: *danielborunda@ibwc.state.gov.* Electronic copies may also be obtained from the USIBWC Home Page at *http://www.ibwc.state.gov.* Written comments will be accepted for 30-days following the date of this Notice.

ACTION: Notice of Availability of Final Environmental Assessment

(EA)and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969; the Council on Environmental Quality Final Regulations (40 CFR parts 1500 through 1508); and the United States Section's Operational Procedures for Implementing Section 102 of NEPA, published in the **Federal Register** September 2, 1981, (46 FR 44083); the United States Section hereby gives notice that the Final Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact for Improvements to the Lateral A/Retamal Dike Levee System, in the Lower Rio Grande Flood Control Project, located in Hidalgo County, Texas are available. A notice of finding of no significant impact dated January 8, 2007 provided a thirty

(30)day comment period before making the finding final. The Notice was published in the **Federal Register** on January 8, 2007 ( **Federal Register** Notice, Vol. 72, No. 4, Pages 797-798). For Further Information Contact: Daniel Borunda, Environmental Protection Specialist; Environmental Management Division; United States Section, International Boundary and Water Commission; 4171 N. Mesa, C-100; El Paso, Texas 79902. Telephone:

(915)832-4767, e-mail: *danielborunda@ibwc.state.gov.* *Backgound:* The USIBWC, in cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), prepared this Environmental Assessment for the proposed action of raising the Lateral A/Retamal Dike Levee System located in Hidalgo County, Texas to improve flood control. This levee system is part of the LRGFCP that extends approximately 180 miles from the Town of Peñitas in south Texas to the Gulf of Mexico. The Lateral A/Retamal Dike Levee System extends approximately 14 miles, from the Carlson Settling Basin to Retamal Diversion Dam. The Proposed Action would increase the flood containment capacity of the Lateral A/Retamal Dike System to meet the 3-foot freeboard design criterion for flood protection. Throughout the approximately 11.5-mile Lateral A segment, height increases between 1.5 and 4 feet are typically needed to reach the design freeboard value. For the 3.5-mile Retamal Dike segment, typical increases in levee height range from 0 to 2 feet. The increase in levee height will result in an expansion to the levee footprint by lateral extension of the structure. Structural improvements, such as a slurry cutoff barrier or a riverside impermeable liner, may be required for some levee segments where seepage is a potential problem. The Environmental Assessment assesses potential environmental impacts of the Proposed Action and the No Action Alternative. Potential impacts on natural, cultural, and other resources were evaluated and mitigation measures were incorporated into the Proposed Action. A Finding of No Significant Impact was issued for the Proposed Action based on a review of the facts and analyses contained in the Environmental Assessment. The USIBWC is authorized to construct, operate, and maintain any project or works projected by the United States of America on the Lower Rio Grande Flood Control Project (LRGFCP) as authorized by the Act of the 74th Congress, Sess. I Ch. 561 (H.R. 6453), approved August 19, 1935 (49 Stat. 660), and codified at 22 U.S.C. Section 277, 277a, 277b, 277c, and Acts amendatory thereof and supplementary thereto. The LRGFCP was constructed to protect urban, suburban, and highly developed irrigated farmland along the Rio Grande delta in the United States and Mexico. *Availability:* Electronic copies of the Final EA and FONSI are available from the USIBWC Home Page at *http://www.ibwc.state.gov.* Dated: April 4, 2007.
