BILLING CODE 3710–92–P 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Air Force 

Notice of Intent To Prepare a 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement (SEIS) to the Final EIS for 

the Implementation of the Base 

Realignment and Closure (BRAC) 2005 

Decisions and Related Actions at Eglin 

Air Force Base (AFB), FL 

AGENCY: U.S. Air Force. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969, as amended (42 United States 

Code 4321, et seq.), the Council on 

Environmental Quality Regulations for 

implementing procedural provisions of 

NEPA (40 Code of Federal Regulations 

(CFR) Parts 1500–1508), and Air Force 

policy and procedures (32 CFR Part 

989), the Air Force is issuing this notice 

to advise the public of its intent to 

prepare a Supplemental Environmental 

Impact Statement (SEIS) evaluating 

potential environmental impacts 

associated with implementation of a 

portion of the 2005 BRAC Commission’s 

recommendations and related actions 

for Eglin AFB, FL. 

The Air Force ‘‘Record of Decision, 

Implementation of Base Realignment 

and Closure (BRAC) 2005 Decisions for 

the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) Initial Joint 

Training Site (IJTS), Eglin AFB, 

Florida,’’ dated February 5, 2009, (FR 

Vol 74, No 34/February 23, 2009) (ROD) 

addressed the JSF IJTS, and resulted in 

a decision to implement a portion of the 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

(FEIS) Alternative 1, that included the 

beddown of 59 F–35 Primary Assigned 

Aircraft (PAA), associated cantonment 

construction, and limited flight training 

operations. The ROD also determined 

that the intent of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 

would be furthered by accomplishing 

the SEIS, the scope of which is directed 

by the ROD. 

The Air Force goal for the SEIS is to 

analyze the potential beddown of the 

107 F–35 PAA discussed in the FEIS 

(Chap. 2, et al.) at Eglin AFB. Additional 

analysis of how to beddown the 59 F– 

35 PAA identified in the ROD and the 

consequences and potential mitigations 

associated with the beddown of up to 48 

additional F–35 aircraft are the subjects 

of this SEIS, which is anticipated to be 

completed on or about September 2010. 

Where the maximum supportable 

number of F–35 aircraft may ultimately 

beddown on the Eglin Reservation, how 

they might be operated, and the degree 

to which other mitigation measures are 

possible are all subjects to be addressed 

in the SEIS. The Air Force intends to 

analyze a range of alternatives that will, 

among other things, maximize the 

number of flight training operations able 

to be conducted at Eglin AFB, preserve 

restricted airspace at Eglin AFB to the 

greatest extent possible, and consider 

future use of Eglin AFB as a training 

facility for the F–35. 

The temporary operational limitations 

imposed in the ROD on F–35 flight 

training activities to avoid and 

minimize noise impacts will remain in 

place until the SEIS has been completed 

and the Air Force has decided how best 

to proceed. 

The Air Force will conduct scoping 

meetings to solicit public input and 

help identify issues to be addressed in 

the SEIS. Oral and written comments 

presented at the public meetings, as 

well as written comments received by 

the Air Force during this scoping period 

and through public comment 

opportunities in the SEIS process, will 

be considered in the preparation of the 

SEIS and will be made a part of the 

administrative record. 

Scoping meetings will be held as 

follows:
