DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Bureau of Indian Affairs


Notice of Cancellation of the Environmental Impact Statement for 
the Proposed Hannahville Tribe of Potawatomi Indians' Hotel and Casino 
Project, Romulus, MI

AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice advises the public that the Bureau of Indian 
Affairs (BIA) intends to cancel work on the Environmental Impact 
Statement (EIS) for the Proposed Hannahville Tribe of Potawatomi 
Indians' Hotel and Casino Project in Romulus, Michigan. The EIS is no 
longer needed because the Department of the Interior has decided not to 
accept the land into trust, on the basis that the proposed action did 
not adequately meet criteria for trust acquisition in 25 CFR 151.3; 
151.10(b); 151.10(c); and 151.11(b).

DATES: This cancellation is effective June 20, 2008. Any written 
comments must arrive by June 19, 2008.

ADDRESSES: You may mail, hand carry or fax written comments to Terrance 
L. Virden, Regional Director, Midwest Region, Bureau of Indian Affairs, 
Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building, One Federal Drive, Room 550, Ft. 
Snelling, Minnesota 55111.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott Doig, (612) 725-4514.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BIA published its Notice of Intent to 
prepare the EIS on February 14, 2007, in the Federal Register (72 FR 
7068). The notice included project details.
