[[Page 16849]]

its Notice of Intent to prepare a Draft Environmental Impact Statement 
as published in FR, Vol. 66, No. 105, Pages 29557 and 29558, May 31, 
2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eric K. Gasch, (904) 232-3140, 
Environmental Branch, Planning Division, P.O. Box 4970, Jacksonville, 
FL 32232-0019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The reason for this action is that project 
alternatives have been eliminated which proposed substantial 
environmental impacts. Alternatives that were eliminated include the 
creation of a secondary channel loop anchorage area. The project will 
still consider alternatives which widen and provide depth at the 
existing channels. These alternatives are not expected to have more 
than minimal impact on seagrass, hard bottoms, wetlands or other 
natural resources.

    Dated: March 12, 2008.

Chief, Planning Division.
