This action is in connection con-nection with a request for REA financing assistance from Deseret Generation & Transmission Cooperative Co-operative Deseret, P. O. Box BB, Sandy, Utah 84091. The anticipated financing assistance would allow Deseret to secure funds for the construction con-struction of Unit No. 1 of the proposed two unit 800 MW coal-fired steam electric Moon Lake Generating Station, the Deserado Mine and associated transmission facilities. Deseret proposes pro-poses to locate the generating station in Uintah Uin-tah County, Utah. The Deserado Mine will be located in Rio Blanco County, Colorado.

Copies of the BLM-REA FEIS are being sent to various Federal, State and local agencies, as outlined in the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations. Because the final EIS incorporates by reference material not reprinted from the Draft EIS, both documents are needed for complete EIS information. A limited number of copies of the Draft and Final EIS are available upon request to the Utah State Office, Bureau of Land Management, Manage-ment, 136 East South Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111. The FEIS may be examined during regular business hours at the offices of REA in the South Agricultural Building, Room 5168, 12th and Independence Avenue, S.

Final action may be taken with respect to this matter after 30 days. Any REA financing assistance which may be made pursuant to this proposal will be subject to, and the release of funds thereunder will be contingent upon, REA's reaching satisfactory conclusions with respect to environmental effects. Final REA action will be taken only after compliance com-pliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, and other environmentally en-vironmentally related statutes, regulations, Executive Ex-ecutive Orders, and Secretary's Memoranda normally considered by REA.
