DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY


Notice of Cancellation of Environmental Impact Statement for the 
Clean Power From Integrated Coal/Ore Reduction (CPICOR) Project

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of cancellation of Environmental Impact Statement 
process.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) is canceling the preparation of 
an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for a proposal by Geneva Steel 
Company to design, construct, and operate a project known as the Clean 
Power from Integrated Coal/Ore Reduction (CPICOR) Project near Provo, 
Utah. DOE selected Geneva Steel Company's proposal for further 
consideration under DOE's Clean Coal Technology Demonstration Program 
competitive solicitation. Geneva Steel proposed constructing the 
demonstration project at the site of its existing steel-making 
operations in Provo, Utah. The proposed CPICOR project was intended to 
demonstrate advanced circulating fluidized bed combustion technologies 
using a variety of low and high sulfur coal to produce electricity. DOE 
published a Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS for the proposal in the 
Federal Register on June 28, 1999 (64 FR 34640), and conducted a public 
scoping meeting in the Council Chambers of the Provo City Center on 
July 15, 1999.
    The proposed project has been discontinued. As a result, DOE is 
canceling the EIS process.
