DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Department of the Air Force 

Airspace Training Initiative 

Environmental Impact Statement

AGENCY: Air Combat Command, United 

States Air Force.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The United States Air Force is 

issuing this Notice of Intent (NOI) to 

announce that it is conducting an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

to describe the proposed action for the 

Airspace Training Initiative. The 

proposed action would enhance the F–

16 aircraft training mission for Shaw 

AFB and McEntire Air National Guard 

Station (ANGS). This NOI describes the 

Air Force’s scoping process and 

identifies the Air Force’s point of 

contact. 

The Air Force conducted a series of 

scoping meetings in South Carolina and 

Georgia during September 2004 to 

receive public input on alternatives, 

concerns, and issues to be addressed in 

an environmental analysis. Based on the 

input received from the scoping 

meetings, the Air Force has determined 

that an EIS is required. The EIS will 

consider environmental issues 

identified by the public and agencies 

during the September meetings and 

received from correspondence during 

the scoping process. The Air Force has 

currently identified changes to airspace 

and aircraft noise as potential key issues 

requiring detailed analysis in the EIS. 

No additional scoping meetings are 

scheduled. However, based upon 

interest expressed during community 

outreach scoping meetings, the public 

comment period has been extended 

through January 5, 2005. All written 

comments on the scope of alternatives 

and impacts received, as a result of the 

scoping meetings, or during the 

extended scoping period will be 

considered in the preparation of this 

EIS. 

The proposed EIS will be prepared in 

compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321–4347), the Council 

on Environmental Quality NEPA 

Regulations (40 CFR 1500–1508); and 

the Air Force’s Environmental Impact 

Analysis Process (EIAP) (Air Force 

Instruction 32–7061 as promulgated at 

32 CFR 989) to determine the potential 

environmental consequences of the 

Airspace Training Initiative. The 

Federal Aviation Administration is 

participating as a cooperating agency in 

this process. 

As part of the Airspace Training 

Initiative proposal, the Air Force will 

analyze alternatives to modify Shaw 

AFB’s airspace to enhance the ability of 

the 20th Fighter Wing at Shaw AFB and 

the 169th Fighter Squadron at McEntire 

ANGS to train as they need to fight in 

the evolving Global War on Terror. The 

proposed action includes the following:

—Creating a new Military Operations 

Area (MOA), that joins the western 

boundary of the existing Gamecock D 

MOA with the eastern boundary of 

existing Poinsett Electronic Combat 

Range (ECR). 

—Lowering the floor of the existing 

Gamecock D MOA from 10,000 to 

5,000 feet mean sea level (MSL) and 

combining and using Gamecock C and 

Gamecock D MOAs concurrently and 

simultaneously. 

—Raising the ceiling on the existing 

Poinsett Low MOA from 2,500 feet 

MSL to 5,000 feet MSL. 

—Modifying the boundary of the 

existing Bulldog A MOA to match that 

of Bulldog B MOA and lowering the 

current 11,000 foot MSL floor of the 

‘‘shelf area’’ to 500 feet above ground 

level (AGL) to coincide with the 

Bulldog A floor. 

—Extending the use of defensive 

training with training chaff and flares 

into the new and modified airspace. 

Developing training transmitter sites 

beneath the Bulldog and Gamecock 

MOAs and along the coast of South 

Carolina.

Alternatives to the proposed action 

include variations in altitude structure, 

special use airspace boundaries, extent 

and number of transmitter sites, and a 

no-action alternative. 

The Air Force will accept comments 

at any time during the environmental 

analysis process. However, to ensure the 

Air Force has sufficient time to consider 

public input in the preparation of the 

Draft EIS, the scoping period has been 

extended. Comments should be 

submitted to the address below by 

January 5, 2005.
