the Proposed Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupe[ntilde]o Indians and
the Big Lagoon Rancheria's Fee-to-Trust Transfer and Casino-Hotel
Project, to have been located in San Bernardino County, California. The
EIS is no longer needed because the Department of the Interior has
decided not to accept the land into trust, on the basis that the
proposed action did not adequately meet criteria in 25 CFR 151.3;
151.10(b); 151.10(c); and 151.11(b) for trust acquisition.
DATES: This cancellation is effective June 20, 2008. Any written
comments must arrive by June 19, 2008.
