The BLM requests comments on the

functioning of the BLM, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. The accuracy of the BLM’s estimate
of the burden of collecting the
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
3. The quality, utility and clarity of
the information to be collected; and
4. How to minimize the information
collection burden on those who are to

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation,
Department of the Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability of the
Final Environmental Impact Statement
(Final EIS).
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Reclamation,
as the National Environmental Policy
Act Federal lead agency, has prepared
the Delta-Mendota Canal/California
Aqueduct Intertie (Intertie) Final EIS.
The Intertie is a proposed action in the
August 2000 CALFED Bay-Delta
Program Programmatic Record of
Decision. The Intertie Final EIS
evaluates constructing and operating a
pipeline connecting the Delta-Mendota
Canal (DMC) and the California
Aqueduct. The purpose of the Proposed
Action is to improve the DMC
conveyance conditions that restrict the
Central Valley Project’s (CVP) Jones
Pumping Plant to less than its
authorized pumping capacity of 4,600
cubic feet per second.
A notice of availability of the Draft
EIS was published in the Federal
Register on July 14, 2009 (74 FR 34031).
The written comment period on the
Draft EIS ended on August 31, 2009.
The Final EIS contains responses to all
comments received and reflects
comments and any additional
information received during the review
period.
DATES: Reclamation will not make a
decision on the Proposed Action until at
least 30 days after release of the Final
EIS. After the 30-day waiting period,
Reclamation will complete a Record of
Decision (ROD). The ROD will state the
action that will be implemented and
will discuss all the factors leading to
that decision.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the Final EIS may
be requested from Mr. Louis Moore,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Louis Moore at the phone number or email address above.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final
EIS documents the direct, indirect, and
cumulative effects to the physical,
biological, and socioeconomic
environment that may result from the
construction and operation of the
Intertie facilities.
The Intertie Final EIS evaluates
constructing and operating a pipeline
connecting between the DMC and the
California Aqueduct. The purpose of the
Proposed Action is to improve the DMC
conveyance conditions that restrict the
CVP Jones Pumping Plant to less than
its authorized pumping capacity of
4,600 cubic feet per second. The Final
EIS evaluates four alternatives,
including the No Action, Proposed
Action (alternative previously analyzed
in the Environmental Assessment), an
alternative location of the same design,
and a temporary structure. The Intertie
would be located in an unincorporated
area of the San Joaquin Valley in
Alameda County, west of the city of
Tracy, in a rural agricultural area that is
owned by the State and Federal
governments. The primary study area
includes the Intertie alternative facilities
and the associated transmission lines
connecting to the Tracy substation,
which is located at DMC Milepost 3.5.
Public hearings were held on August
4, 2009 in Sacramento, California and
on August 5, 2009 in Stockton,
California.
Copies of the Final EIS are available
