SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A public notice of availability of the draft environmental assessment (EA) was published in the Herald-News serving Joliet and Will County, Illinois, on December 3, 2019. The review period extended for 15 days, ending on December 18, 2019. No public comments were received. No changes to the findings of the EA have been made.

Implementation of the proposed action alternative will not have significant impacts on the human environment. The determination is sustained by the analysis in the EA, agency consultation, the inclusion and consideration of public review, and the capability of mitigations to reduce or avoid impacts. Any adverse environmental effects that could occur are no more than moderate in intensity, duration, and context and less-than-significant. As described in the EA, there are no highly uncertain or controversial impacts, unique or unknown risks, significant cumulative effects, or elements of precedence. There are no previous, planned, or implemented actions, which, in combination with the proposed action alternative, would have significant effects on the human environment. Requirements of NEPA have been satisfied, and preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement is not required.

Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training.
