EXHIBIT 3

CEQ REGULATIONS: RECOMMENDED EIS FORMAT[1]

1.       Cover Sheet.  The cover sheet shall not exceed one page. It shall include:

(a)      A list of the responsible agencies including the lead agency and any cooperating agencies.

(b)     The title of the proposed management contract that is the subject of the statement (and if appropriate the titles of related cooperating agency actions), together with the State(s) and county(ies) (or other jurisdiction if applicable) where the action is located.

(c)      The name, address, and telephone number of the person at the agency who can supply further information.

(d)     A designation of the statement as a draft, final, or draft or final supplement.

(e)      A one paragraph abstract of the statement.

(f)      The date by which comments must be received (computed in cooperation with EPA under § 1506.10).

2.       Summary.  Each environmental impact statement shall contain a summary which adequately and accurately summarizes the statement.  The summary shall stress the major conclusions, areas of controversy (including issues raised by agencies and the public), and the issues to be resolved (including the choice among alternatives).  The summary will normally not exceed 15 pages.

3.       Table of Contents.

4.       Purpose of and Need for Management Contract.  The statement shall briefly specify the underlying purpose and need to which the Tribe is responding in proposing the alternatives including the proposed action.

5.       Alternatives Including the Proposed Management Contract.  This section is the heart of the environmental impact statement. Based on the information and analysis presented in the sections on the Affected Environment (§ 1502.15) and the Environmental Consequences (§ 1502.16), it should present the environmental impacts of the proposal and the alternatives in comparative form, thus sharply defining the issues and providing a clear basis for choice among options by the decisionmaker and the public.  In this section the Tribe shall:

(a)      Rigorously explore and objectively evaluate all reasonable alternatives, and for alternatives which were eliminated from detailed study, briefly discuss the reasons for their having been eliminated.

(b)     Devote substantial treatment to each alternative considered in detail including the proposed action so that reviewers may evaluate their comparative merits.

(c)   Include reasonable alternatives not within the jurisdiction of the lead agency.

(d)   Include the alternative of no action.

(e)   Identify the Tribe's preferred alternative or alternatives, if one or more exists, in the draft statement and identify such alternative in the final statement unless another law prohibits the expression of such a preference.

(f)    Include appropriate mitigation measures not already included in the proposed action or alternatives.

6.       Affected Environment.  The environmental impact statement shall describe the environment of the area(s) to be affected or created by the alternatives under consideration. The descriptions shall be no longer than is necessary to understand the effects of the alternatives. Data and analyses in a statement shall be commensurate with the importance of the impact, with less important material summarized, consolidated, or simply referenced.  The Tribe shall avoid useless bulk in statements and shall concentrate effort and attention on important issues. Redundant descriptions of the affected environment are themselves no measure of the adequacy of an environmental impact statement.

7.       Environmental Consequences.  This section shall discuss the environmental impacts of the alternatives including the proposed action, any adverse environmental effects which cannot be avoided should the proposal be implemented, the relationship between short-term uses of man's environment and the maintenance and enhancement of long-term productivity, and any irreversible or irretrievable commitments of resources which would be involved in the proposal should it be implemented.  This section shall include discussions of:

(a)      Direct effects and their significance.

(b)     Indirect effects and their significance.

(c)      Possible conflicts between the proposed action and the objectives of Federal, regional, State, local, and Indian tribe land use plans, policies and controls for the area concerned.

(d)     The environmental effects of alternatives including the proposed action.

(e)      Energy requirements and conservation potential of various alternatives and mitigation measures.

(f)      Natural or depletable resource requirements and conservation potential of various alternatives and mitigation measures.

(g)      Urban quality, historic and cultural resources, and the design of the built environment, including the reuse and conservation potential of various alternatives and mitigation measures.

(h)     Means to mitigate adverse environmental impacts.

8.       List of Preparers.  The environmental impact statement shall list the names, together with their qualifications (expertise, experience, professional disciplines), of the persons who were primarily responsible for preparing the environmental impact statement or significant background papers, including basic components of the statement.  Where possible the persons who are responsible for a particular analysis, including analyses in background papers, shall be identified.  Normally the list will not exceed two pages.

9.       List of Agencies, Organizations, and Persons to Whom Copies of the Statement are Sent.

10.     Index.

11.     Appendix.  If an agency prepares an appendix to an environmental impact statement the appendix shall:

(a)      Consist of material prepared in connection with an environmental impact statement (as distinct from material which is not so prepared and which is incorporated by reference.

(b)     Normally consist of material which substantiates any analysis fundamental to the impact statement.

(c)      Normally be analytic and relevant to the decision to be made.

(d)     Be circulated with the environmental impact statement or be readily available on request.
