Notice of Availability for a Draft General Conformity 
Determination for the Pacific L.A. Marine Terminal LLC Crude Oil 
Terminal Project, Port of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, CA

AGENCY: Department of the Army--U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: In November 2008, the Los Angeles Harbor Department (LAHD) and 
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District, Regulatory 
Division (Corps) published a joint Final Supplemental Environmental 
Impact Statement and Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIS/SEIR) 
for the development of a marine oil terminal at Berth 408 on Pier 400 
in the Port of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California (Project). 
The Corps is currently processing a permit application submitted by the 
LAHD to undertake various activities and construct structures in and 
over navigable waters of the U.S. associated with the Project. Issuance 
of a Corps permit is a Federal action, which must comply with the air 
quality general conformity requirements specified in Section 176(c) of 
the Clean Air Act.
    The general conformity regulations (40 CFR part 93, subpart B) 
allow general conformity determinations to be included in an EIS, but 
inclusion of these determinations is not required and can be separately 
noticed as it is in this case. The draft general conformity 
determination for the Federal action associated with the Project is 
available for public review during the next 30 days at the Los Angeles 
Harbor Department, 425 South Palos Verdes Street, San Pedro, 
California, on the Port's Web site: http://www.portoflosangeles.org, 
and on the Corps' Web site: http://www.spl.usace.army.mil/regulatory/POLA.htm (scroll down to the links under Pier 400 Crude Oil Marine 
Terminal). In addition, it is available at the following libraries: 
L.A. Public Library, Central Branch, 630 West 5th Street, Los Angeles 
California; L.A. Public Library, San Pedro Branch, 921 South Gaffey 
Street, San Pedro, California; and L.A. Public Library, Wilmington 
Branch, 1300 North Avalon, Wilmington, California.
    Any comments received by the Corps on the draft general conformity 
determination during the next 30 days will be considered fully before 
the Corps makes a final general conformity determination and finalizes 
the Record of Decision (ROD) for the Federal action associated with the 
Project. The Corps will publish a notice of a final general conformity 
determination in the Federal Register within 30 days of rendering a 
final decision. The public can request from the Corps copies of the 
ROD, which includes responses to comments on the Final SEIS and draft 
general conformity determination, following publication of a final 
general conformity determination and upon execution of the ROD.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Questions or comments concerning the 
draft general conformity determination should be directed within the 
next 30 days to Dr. Spencer D. MacNeil, Senior Project Manager, North 
Coast Branch, Regulatory Division, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 2151 
Alessandro Drive, Suite 110, Ventura, California 93001, (805) 585-2152.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: None.
