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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 
1969, as amended, and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 
1976, as amended, the US Geological Survey (USGS) has prepared a Final 
Environmental Assessment for the Solar Roof Project and by this notice 
is announcing its availability.

availability of Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant 
Impact.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information contact

Health Center, 6006 Schroeder Road, Madison, Wisconsin 53711-6226.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Availability of Documents

    Individuals wishing to receive copies of the Environmental 
Assessment for the Solar Roof Project should immediately contact the 
USGS S.O. Conte Anadromous Fish Research Center, One Migratory Way, 
P.O. Box 796, Turners Falls, MA 01376-0796. Copies of the EA are also 
available for public inspection during regular business hours at the 
USGS S.O. Conte Anadromous Center (see same address above).

Background

    The objective of the S.O. Conte Research Center is to provide 
Federal leadership in the scientific based management of national and 
international Atlantic Coast anadromous fish resources by conducting 
research programs of regional importance to provide information for 
restoration and rational management of northeast and mid-west United 
States anadromous fish. The proposed action is to replace two temporary 
canvas structures that are energy inefficient and do not comply with 
health and safety codes, with a new permanent 3,000-square-foot 
building. The new building would provide appropriate housing for 
fishery species, equipment and scientific research. Public input 
included requests for input and information early in the project from 
agencies with potential interest of jurisdiction, and from local 
organizations with a potential interest in the proposed project. In 
addition, a public meeting was held December 9, 2009 at the Conte 
facility. No issues or concerns were raised during that public meeting.

    Authority:  40 CFR 1506.6, 40 CFR 1506.10.

    Dated: February 1, 2010.

Senior Advisor for Science Applications, United States Geological 
Survey.
