Rescission Notice; Upper Price River Watershed Project, Carbon
County, Utah
AGENCY: Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA).
ACTION: Notice; rescission.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NRCS Utah State Office, in coordination with Price City,
is rescinding the Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) for the Upper Price River Watershed Project,
Carbon County, Utah, which was published in the Federal Register on
June 3, 2021. NRCS has determined that the NOI was issued prior to
confirming viable alternatives and need for an EIS.
DATES: Effective upon publication, this notice rescinds the NOI to
prepare an EIS (86 FR 29739), which was published in the Federal
Register on June 3, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRCS Utah State Office, in coordination
with Price City, and consistent with the requirements of 7 CFR 1b.7, is
issuing this notice to advise Federal, State, and local government
agencies and the public that NRCS will continue the planning process to
determine whether an EIS is needed for the Upper Price River Watershed
Project. The project area is located within and surrounding the cities
of Price, Helper, and Wellington, as well as Price Canyon and Scofield
Reservoir in Carbon County, Utah. This notice rescinds the NOI to
prepare an EIS (86 FR 29739), published on June 3, 2021.
During the watershed planning process, NRCS determined that the NOI
(86 FR 29739) was issued prematurely, before identifying all reasonable
alternatives and assessing whether an EIS was needed. If the planning
process indicates that an EIS is appropriate, NRCS will publish a new
NOI. The watershed planning process is continuing and will comply with
the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Any public comment
received from the original NOI and scoping period will be considered
during Watershed Plan development. Watershed planning is authorized by
the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act of 1954 (Pub. L. 83-
566), as amended, and the Flood Control Act of 1944 (Pub. L. 78-534).
