District published a notice of intent to prepare a Supplemental 
Environmental Impact Statement in the January 24, 2014 issue of the 
Federal Register (FR Doc. 2014-01443 ). Since that time, resource 
agency involvement through meetings, changes in plan formulation, and 
re-evaluation of the project have reduced the magnitude and extent of 
proposed flood risk management measures and associated environmental 
impacts to the point that an SEIS is no longer necessary. A 
Supplemental Environmental Assessment will be prepared and circulated 
for review by agencies and the public. The NY District invites 
participation and consultation of agencies and individuals that have 
special expertise, legal jurisdiction, or interest in the preparation 
of the draft environmental assessment. Comments received, including the 
names and addresses of those who comment, will be considered part of 
the public record for this proposal. As a result of the process, if it 
is determined that the project may have significant impacts, the EIS 
process will be reinitiated and a NOI published.
