I. Abstract
The Energy Policy Act of 2005, 25
U.S.C. 3504 authorizes the Secretary of
the Interior to approve individual Tribal
Energy Resource Agreements (TERAs).
The intent of these agreements is to
promote tribal oversight and
management of energy resource
development on tribal lands and further
the goal of Indian self-determination. A
TERA offers a tribe an alternative for
developing energy-related business
agreements and awarding leases and
granting rights-of-way for energy
facilities without having to obtain
further approval from the Secretary.
This information collection
conducted under TERA regulations at
25 CFR part 224 will allow IEED to
determine the capacity of tribes to

manage the development of energy
resources on tribal lands. Information
collection:
• Enables IEED to engage in a
consultation process with tribes that is
designed to foster optimal pre-planning
of development proposals and speed up
the review and approval process for
TERA agreements;
• Provides wide public notice and
opportunity for review of TERA
agreements by the public, industry, and
government agencies;
• Ensures that the public has an
avenue for review of the performance of
tribes in implementing a TERA;
• Creates a process for preventing
damage to sensitive resources as well as
ensuring that the public has fully
communicated with the tribe in the
petition process;
• Ensures that a tribe is fully aware of
any attempt by the Department of the
Interior to resume management
authority over energy resources on tribal
lands; and
• Ensures that the tribal government
fully endorses any relinquishment of a
TERA.
II. Request for Comments
The BIA requests your comments on
this collection concerning: (a) The
necessity of this information collection
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden (hours
and cost) of the collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Ways we could enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) Ways we could
minimize the burden of the collection of
the information on the respondents.

Draft Environmental Impact Statement
for Proposed Strategies To Benefit
Native Species by Reducing the
Abundance of Lake Trout in Flathead
Lake, Montana
Bureau of Indian Affairs,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of Availability.
AGENCY:

VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001

The Bureau of Indian Affairs
(BIA) as the lead Federal agency, with
the Confederated Salish and Kootenai
Tribes of the Flathead Reservation as a
Cooperating Agency, intends to file a
draft environmental impact statement
(DEIS) titled: Proposed Strategies to
Benefit Native Species by Reducing the
Abundance of Lake Trout in Flathead
Lake, Montana. This notice also
announces that the DEIS is now
available for public review and that a
public meeting will be held to solicit
comments on the draft document.
DATES: The date and location of the
public meeting will be published 15
days prior to the meeting in the
following local newspapers: The Lake
County Leader, the Daily Interlake, the
Flathead Beacon, the Valley Journal, the
Missoulian, and on the following Web
site: www.mackdays.com. Written
comments on the DEIS must arrive 45
days after EPA publishes its Notice of
Availability in the Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: You may mail, email, hand
carry, or telefax written comments to
Mr. Les Evarts, Fisheries Program
Manager, Confederated Salish and
Kootenai Tribes, P.O. Box 278, Pablo,
Montana 59855; fax (406) 883–2848;
email [email protected]. See SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section of this notice for
instructions on submitting comments
and locations where the DEIS is
available for review.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Barry Hansen, Fisheries Program,
Confederated Salish and Kootenai
Tribes, P.O. Box 278, Pablo, Montana
59855; telephone (406) 883–2888, ext.
7282; email [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DEIS
will assess the environmental
consequences of BIA approval of a
proposal to benefit native fish
populations in the Flathead Basin by
reducing non-native lake trout
abundance in Flathead Lake. Direction
to manage non-native fish populations
to improve conditions for native fish
species comes from the Flathead Lake
and River Fisheries Co-Management
Plan, Bull Trout Restoration Plan,
Cutthroat Memorandum of
Understanding and Conservation
Agreement, and Flathead Subbasin Plan:
Part III, and Flathead River Subbasin
Management Plan.
Stakeholders from the Flathead Basin
comprise an interdisciplinary team that
includes Confederated Salish and
Kootenai Tribes, U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, National Park Service, U.S.
Forest Service, U.S. Geological Survey,
local fishing guides and anglers, Trout
Unlimited, University of Montana, and
Montana Department of Natural

Resources and Conservation. The team
has met since 2010 to draft issues,
develop alternatives, and analyze
impacts.
The range of alternatives in the DEIS
includes: No action (maintain the status
quo of lake trout harvest from general
harvest and fishing contests), reduce
lake trout numbers to 25 percent of 2010
population levels, reduce lake trout
numbers to 50 percent of 2010
population levels, and reduce lake trout
numbers to 75 percent of 2010
population levels.
Proposed alternatives would employ a
combination of tools to achieve
proposed lake trout reduction targets
such as general harvest, fishing contests,
bounties, and targeted gill and trap
netting. Proposed action alternatives
would be implemented indefinitely into
the future to achieve and maintain lake
trout population reductions. Proposed
action alternatives would include
implementation and effectiveness
monitoring so that harvest strategies can
be adapted to future conditions, and
would employ a range of methods to
minimize by-catch mortality of nontarget fish species. Annual lake trout
harvest levels have been derived from
an age-structured stochastic simulation
model based on decades of local
population data. Proposed annual
harvests are 84,000 lake trout for 25
percent reduction, 112,000 lake trout for
50 percent reduction, and 143,000 lake
trout for 75 percent reduction.
Issues addressed in the DEIS include:
(1) Biological resources (lake trout, bull
trout, westslope cutthroat trout, lake
whitefish, yellow perch, and
invertebrates including Mysis shrimp);
(2) fishing opportunity; and (3) fishing
economy. Also addressed are cultural
resources, grizzly bears, environmental
justice and Indian trust resources.
