SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BIA
published a Notice of Availability for

on December 12, 2018, held a public
hearing for the proposed project at

49415. On March 18, 2019, the BIA
reopened the public comment period
until April 17, 2019 (84 FR 9807).
Background: The Proposed Project
consists of the following components:
(1) The Department of the Interior’s
(Department) transfer of approximately
60 acres from fee to trust status pursuant
to Section 5 of the Indian
Reorganization Act (25 U.S.C. 5108); (2)
issuance of a determination by the
Secretary of the Interior pursuant to
Section 20 of the Indian Gaming
Regulatory Act determining whether a
gaming facility on the project site would
be in the best interest of the Tribe and
its members and not detrimental to the
surrounding community (25 U.S.C.
2719(b)(1)(A)); and (3) development of
the trust parcel and adjacent land
VerDate Sep<11>2014

owned by the Tribe, totaling
approximately 86.5 acres, with a variety
of uses including a casino, hotel,
conference center, parking, and other
supporting facilities.
The following alternatives are
considered in the FEIS: (1) Proposed
Project; (2) Reduced Intensity
Alternative; (3) Non-Gaming
Alternative; (4) Custer Site Alternative;
and (5) No Action/No Development. The
BIA has selected Alternative 1, the
Proposed Project, as the Preferred
Alternative as discussed in the FEIS.
Environmental issues addressed in
the FEIS include geology and soils,
water resources, air quality, biological
resources, cultural and paleontological
resources, socioeconomic conditions
(including environmental justice),
transportation and circulation, land use,
public services, noise, hazardous
materials, aesthetics, cumulative effects,
and indirect and growth-inducing
effects.
The information and analysis
contained in the FEIS, as well as its
evaluation and assessment of the
Preferred Alternative, will assist the
Department in its review of the issues
presented in the Tribe’s application.
Selection of the Preferred Alternative
does not indicate the Department’s final
decision because the Department must
complete its review process. The
Department’s review process consists of
(1) issuing the notice of availability of
the FEIS; (2) issuing a Record of
Decision no sooner than 30 days
following publication of the Notice of
Availability of the FEIS by the EPA in
the Federal Register; (3) issuing a
Secretarial Determination pursuant to
Section 20 of the Indian Gaming
Regulatory Act that determines whether
the Tribe’s gaming facility would be in
the best interest of the Tribe and its
members and is not detrimental to the
surrounding community, 25 U.S.C.
2719(b)(1)(A); (4) requesting the
Governor of Michigan’s concurrence
with the Secretarial Determination; and
(5) issuing a final decision on the
transfer of the proposed site from fee to
trust status pursuant to Section 5 of the
Indian Reorganization Act, 25 U.S.C.
5108.
Locations where the FEIS is available
for review: The FEIS will be available for
review at the Fruitport Public Library
