Notice of Cancellation of the Environmental Impact Statement for 
the Proposed Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupe[ntilde]o Indians and 
the Big Lagoon Rancheria's Fee-to-Trust Transfer and Casino-Hotel 
Project, San Bernardino County, CA

AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces that the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) 
intends to cancel work on the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for 
the Proposed Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupe[ntilde]o Indians and 
the Big Lagoon Rancheria's Fee-to-Trust Transfer and Casino-Hotel 
Project, to have been located in San Bernardino County, California. 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 in 25 CFR 151.3; 
151.10(b); 151.10(c); and 151.11(b) for trust acquisition.

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

ADDRESSES: You may mail or hand carry written comments to Amy Dutschke, 
Acting Regional Director, Pacific Regional Office, Bureau of Indian 
Affairs, 2800 Cottage Way, Sacramento, CA 95825.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Rydzik, (916) 978-6042.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BIA published its Notice of Intent to 
prepare the EIS on April 19, 2006, in the Federal Register (71 FR 
20126). The notice included project details.
