Federal Law Enforcement Training Center


FLETC Glynco, GA; Notice of Availability of Document for Review

AGENCY: Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, Treasury.

ACTION: Notice of availability of environmental assessment for public 
review.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Federal Law Enforcement 
Training Center (FLETC), pursuant to the National Environmental Policy 
Act of 1969 (NEPA), the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations 
for Implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (40 CFR parts 
1500-1508), and Department of the Treasury Directive 75-02 (Department 
of the Treasury Environmental Quality Program), has prepared an 
Environmental Assessment (EA) related to the acquisition of County 
roads in Glynn County Georgia. The FLETC proposes to close the portions 
of each road that are located adjacent to the tract of land that FLETC 
is proposing to purchase, create cul-de-sacs/entry gates at the 
terminal points for both roads, and construct a security fence and a 
perimeter road on the northern and eastern perimeter of the parcel. The 
public and resource agencies were invited to attend a public meeting 
held November 7, 2002, and participate in the planning and analysis of 
the proposed project. At that meeting the FLETC discussed the 
environmental review process, described the project and alternatives 
under consideration, discussed the scope of environmental issues to be 
investigated in accordance with the requirements of NEPA, and answered 
questions from attendees.
    An EA document has been prepared in accordance with NEPA and 
Department of the Treasury requirements, addressing the various project 
alternatives, their potential environmental impacts, and issues raised 
during the November 7, 2002, public meeting. This document will be 
available for public review and comment from December 16, 2002, until 
January 16, 2003, at the following locations:
    1. Three Rivers Regional Library, 2400 Reynolds Street, Brunswick, 
Georgia 31520, 912-267-1212.
    2. Department of the Treasury, Library, Main Treasury Building, 
1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20220. Contact Bill 
McGovern at 202-622-0043.
    Significant comments received from the public and agencies during 
the review period will be addressed in the EA and included in an 
appendix. Should the FLETC determine, based on the public's comments 
and the information presented in the EA, that the impacts of the 
acquisition of the county roads, the proposed closing of portions of 
the roads that are adjacent to the tract of land that FLETC is 
proposing to purchase, the construction of cul-de-sacs/entry gates at 
the terminal points for both roads, and construction of a security 
fence and a perimeter road on the northern and eastern perimeter of the 
parcel will not have a significant environmental impact, it will 
prepare a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for publication in 
the Federal Register and in a newspaper in general circulation at the 
project location. Should significant environmental impacts be 
determined to exist due to the project, the FLETC will proceed with the 
preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement, per the requirements 
of NEPA, the Council on Environmental Quality, and its own 
environmental policies and procedures.

DATES: Written comments concerning the EA should be received on or 
before January 16, 2003, to be assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments to Ms. Susan Shaw, NEPA 
Coordinator/Project Manager, Building T-726 Glynco, GA 31524.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FLETC has a mission of providing high 
quality, cost-effective training of federal law enforcement personnel.
