| 2012-27987 | Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Halletts Point Rezoning Project, Queens, NY | Notice | This provides notice to the public, agencies, and Indian tribes that the City of New York--Department of Housing Preservation & Development (HPD), as the Responsible Entity in accordance with 24 CFR 58.2(a)(7), and the New York City Department of City Planning (DCP) serving as lead agency on behalf of the City Planning Commission (CPC) in accordance with City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR), Executive Order No. 91, and the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), 6 NYCRR 617, intend to prepare a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Halletts Point Rezoning Project. The EIS will be a joint National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and CEQR document. The EIS will satisfy requirements of SEQR (6 NYCRR 617.8) and CEQR (Sections 6-08 and 6-12 of Executive Order No. 91 of 1977 as amended), which require that state and local government agencies consider the environmental consequences of projects over which they have discretionary authority before acting on those projects. The proposed action is subject to NEPA because the proposed disposition of NYCHA property at Astoria Houses will require a federal approval from HUD under Section 18 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. This notice is in accordance with the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations at 40 CFR parts 1500-1508. A Draft EIS will be prepared for the proposed action described herein. Comments relating to the Draft EIS are requested and will be accepted by the contact person listed below. When the Draft EIS is completed, a notice will be sent to individuals and groups known to have an interest in the Draft EIS and particularly in the environmental impact issues identified therein. Any person or agency interested in receiving a notice and making comment on the Draft EIS should contact the person listed below up to 30 days following publication of this notice. The EIS will be a NEPA document intended to satisfy requirements of federal environmental statutes. In accordance with specific statutory authority at Section 26 of the U.S. Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 1437x) and HUD's regulations at 24 CFR part 58 (Environmental Review Procedures for Entities Assuming HUD Environmental Responsibilities), HUD has provided for assumption of its NEPA authority and NEPA lead agency responsibility by HPD. The EIS will be a CEQR document intended to satisfy State and City environmental statutes as described above. | 2012-11-16 | 2012 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/11/16/2012-27987/notice-of-intent-to-prepare-an-environmental-impact-statement-eis-for-the-halletts-point-rezoning | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-11-16/pdf/2012-27987.pdf | Housing and Urban Development Department | 228 | This provides notice to the public, agencies, and Indian tribes that the City of New York--Department of Housing Preservation & Development (HPD), as the Responsible Entity in accordance with 24 CFR 58.2(a)(7), and the New York City Department of City... |
