NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT (FONSI) PROGRAMMATIC ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR FORT BELKNAP NOXIOUS WEED MANAGEMENT
Fort Belknap Indian Reservation
The U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) has prepared a Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) for the implementation of a noxious weed management program guided by the Fort Belknap Indian Community Noxious Weed Management Strategic Plan 2013-2018 (Strategic Plan) on the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation (FBIR). The FBIR is located in north central Montana within portions of Blaine and Phillips counties. The FBIR is the home of the Assiniboine and Gros Ventre tribes, which function as the Fort Belknap Indian Community.
The Fort Belknap Noxious Weed PEA analyzes the potential environmental effects from the implementation of a noxious weed management program guided by the Strategic Plan to determine whether the proposed project constitutes a major federal action that significantly affects the quality of the human environment, as specified in Section 102 (2) (C) of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The BIA has determined that approval of the proposed project will not result in significant impacts to the human environment. The FONSI is a finding of environmental effect, not a decision to proceed with an action. As specified in 25 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 2.7, a 30-day appeal period is required after publication of this Notice of Availability (NOA) before an action may be implemented. Appeals must be sent to the BIA Fort Belknap Agency, 158 Tribal Way, Suite B, Harlem, Montana 59526, with a copy to the BIA Rocky Mountain Region 2021 4th Ave North, Billings, Montana, 59101, by October 9, 2016.
This NOA of the environmental documents prepared for the noxious weed management program is in accordance with the requirements of Section 1503.1 of the Council on Environmental Quality Regulation (40 CFR Parts 1500-1508) and implements the procedural requirements of NEPA and the Department of Interior Manual (516 DM 1-6).
Copies of the PEA and FONSI are available at the Fort Belknap Agency Office at 158 Tribal Way, Suite B, Harlem, Montana 59526. Copies are also available at the BIA Rocky Mountain Region Office, 2021 4th Ave North, Billings, Montana 59101. Information requests regarding the PEA should be addressed to John St. Pierre, Superintendent, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Fort Belknap Agency, 158 Tribal Way, Suite B, Harlem, Montana 59526, Telephone (406)-353-2901.
