In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), as lead agency, and in cooperation with the U. S. Forest Service (USFS) has prepared a Draft Supplement (Supplement) to the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the TransColorado Gas Transmission (TransColorado) project on federal lands in Colorado and New Mexico. TransColorado is the proponent. Lands managed by the BLM in the Montrose, Craig, and Grand Junction Districts in Colorado, and the Farmington District in New Mexico, and the USFS in the Uncompahgre and San Juan National Forests, Colorado, are crossed by the TransColorado pipeline project. The Supplement addresses the environmental impacts of the construction, operation, maintenance, and ultimate abandonment of known proposed route changes and minor realignments (less than 100 feet from centerline of the existing right-of-way grant) of the approved pipeline and right-of-way (ROW) grant COC-51280, and the impacts of the proposed construction and use of known additional temporary work areas adjacent to the approved ROW or, proposed ROW route changes or minor realignments. This Supplement will also address the impacts of the construction and use minor realignments and alternative temporary work areas in unspecified locations. These unspecified temporary work areas and minor realignments will be addressed to accommodate conditions that might be encountered during construction. Also addressed in the Supplement are proposed modifications to several environmental protection measures contained in the original right-of-way (ROW) grant and Record of Decision (ROD). Please focus comments on the proposed actions and alternatives in the Supplement to the FEIS. DATES: Due to an error in calculation, the 60-day public comment period for the Draft Supplement has been extended to March 18, 1998. This notice amends and extends the comment period published by the BLM and USFS in the Federal Register on January 23, 1998 (63 FR 3584). Written comments on the Draft Supplement must be submitted or postmarked no later than March 10, 1998. Written comments may also be submitted at the public meetings to be held on February 17, 1998 at 7:00 pm at the Double Tree Inn, 501 Camino del Rio in Durango, Colorado; on February 18, 1998 at 7:00 pm at the Ponderosa Restaurant, 108 South 8th in Delores, Colorado; and at 7:00 pm at the Holiday Inn, 755 Horizon Drive in Grand Junction, Colorado. Public reading copies are available at the federal depository libraries in Colorado and New Mexico and public libraries within San Juan County, New Mexico, and La Plata, Montezuma, Dolores, San Miguel, Montrose, Delta, Mesa, Garfield and Rio Blanco Counties, Colorado.
