Notice of Availability of a Final General Conformity 
Determination and Record of Decision 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). 
On February 19, 2010, the Corps published a draft general conformity 
determination for the Federal action associated with the Project. 
Comments were received on the draft general conformity determination 
until March 22, 2010. A general conformity determination was required 
because Project construction would require Federal action (i.e., 
issuance of a Corps permit for work and structures in and over 
navigable waters of the U.S. pursuant to Section 10 of the River and 
Harbor Act) and not all the Federal action's direct and indirect air 
emissions would be below specified de minimis thresholds (40 CFR 
51.853(b)). On June 1, 2010 and June 3, 2010, the Corps made a final 
general conformity determination and completed its environmental review 
and executed the Record of Decision (ROD), respectively, for the 
Federal action associated with the Project. The Corps considered and 
responded to all comments received in making the final general 
conformity determination and executing the ROD.
    The public can request copies of the final general conformity 
determination document or the ROD from the Corps at the address listed 
below, or can view or download the final general conformity 
determination document from the Corps' Website (http://www.spl.usace.army.mil/regulatory/POLA.htm, scroll down to the link

site (http://www.portoflosangeles.org/environment/public_notices.asp,
