SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Detroit District, is 
issuing this notice to announce the availability for public review and 
feedback of the final bi-national report for the Great Lakes--St. 
Lawrence Seaway (GLSLS) Study. This study was conducted jointly with 
Canada and was overseen by a steering committee that included 
representatives from the United States Department of Transportation, 
Transport Canada, United States Fish and Wildlife Service, Environment 
Canada, the St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation, the United 
States Army Corps of Engineers, and the St. Lawrence Seaway Management 
Corporation. The study evaluated the commercial navigation 
infrastructure needs of the GLSLS as it is currently configured, and 
does not make any recommendations related to the implementation of any 
physical project modifications. The study assessed ongoing maintenance 
and long-term capital requirements to ensure the continuing viability 
of the system, targeting the engineering, economic and environmental 
implications of those needs as they pertain to the marine 
transportation infrastructure upon which commercial navigation depends. 
The public is invited to provide feedback which will be provided to the 
above noted partner agencies for their consideration as each assess the 
study findings related to future system's operation and maintenance.

DATES: The Final Report will be available for public review starting 
November 26, 2007, and any written feedback received by January 18, 
2008 will be posted to the study Web site identified below.
