Notice is hereby given that the Rural Utilities Service (RUS), pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended, the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500-1508), and RUS Environmental Policies and Procedures (7 CFR Part 1794), has made a finding of no significant impact (FONSI) with respect to a project proposed by the Marshalls Energy Company, Inc. (MEC), of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. The proposed project consists of two 6.22 megawatt (MW) diesel electric generating units and associated facilities that will be constructed immediately adjacent to the existing Majuro Generating Station, on Dalap Island which is part of the Majuro Atoll. RUS has concluded that the environmental impacts from the proposed project would not be significant and that the proposed action is not a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. Therefore, the preparation of an environmental impact statement is not required.
