(BLT), of Oxnard, California, to develop the Campo Regional Landfill Project (Proposed Action). There is no Federal action of amended lease and amended sublease approval for BIA consideration. The Notice of Intent to prepare the SEIS, which included a description of the proposed action, was published in the Federal Register on November 8, 2005 (70 FR 67738-67739). The Notice of Availability of the Draft SEIS was published in the Federal Register on February 26, 2010 (75 FR 8986-8988).
