National Nuclear Security 

Administration 

Site-Wide Environmental Impact 

Statement for Sandia National 

Laboratories, New Mexico (SNL/NM) 

AGENCY: National Nuclear Security 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of Re-opening of Public 

Scoping period and Announcement of 

additional Public Scoping Meetings. 

SUMMARY: On June 24, 2011, the 

National Nuclear Security 

Administration (NNSA), a 

semiautonomous agency within the U.S. 

Department of Energy (DOE), published 

a Notice of Intent (NOI) for the 

preparation of a Site-Wide 

Environmental Impact Statement 

(SWEIS) for the Sandia National 

Laboratories, New Mexico (DOE/EIS– 

0466). That notice stated that the public 

review and comment period would 

continue until 45 days after publication 

in the Federal Register, ending on 

August 8, 2011. In response to a request 

from the public, NNSA has decided to 

Re-open the public comment period 

through September 12, 2011, and to 

hold two additional public scoping 

meetings on Thursday September 1, 

2011, in Albuquerque, NM. 

DATES: The public comment period for 

the SNL/NM SWEIS is being re-opened 

through September 12, 2011. The 

schedule for the additional public 

scoping meetings on the SWEIS with all 

dates, times, and locations is the 

following: 

• Thursday, September 1, 2011—1–4 

p.m., Hilton Albuquerque Hotel, 1901 

University Boulevard Northeast, 

Albuquerque, New Mexico. 

• Thursday, September 1, 2011—6–9 

p.m., Hilton Albuquerque Hotel, 1901 

University Boulevard Northeast,

information regarding DOE NEPA 

activities and access to many DOE 

NEPA documents are available on the 

Internet through the DOE NEPA Web

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE’s 

NEPA implementing regulations (10 

CFR 1021.330) require DOE to prepare 

SWEISs for certain large, multiplefacility DOE sites; DOE is required to 

evaluate site wide NEPA documents 

prepared under § 1021.330(c) at least 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 156 / Friday, August 12, 2011 / Notices 50213 

every five years. In 1999 DOE/NNSA 

completed the first SNL/NM SWEIS 

which examined existing and potential 

impacts to the environment from 

ongoing and anticipated future DOE/ 

NNSA operations conducted over 

approximately a 10-year period of time 

at SNL/NM and other DOE operations 

on and around Kirtland Air Force Base 

(KAFB). NNSA issued a Record of 

Decision (ROD) for the SWEIS in 

December 15, 1999 (64 FR 69996) 

announcing its decision to continue 

operations at SNL/NM under the 

expanded operations alternative. In 

August 2006, DOE/NNSA completed a 

5-year review of the 1999 SNL/NM 

SWEIS with the preparation of a 

Supplement Analysis (SA) (DOE/EIS– 

0281–SA–04), to determine the 

adequacy of the existing EIS. Based on 

the 2006 Final Supplement Analysis for 

the Site-Wide Environmental Impact 

Statement for Sandia National 

Laboratories, New Mexico (DOE/EIS– 

0281–SA–04), DOE/NNSA determined 

that there were no substantial changes 

to the actions or impacts evaluated in 

the SNL/NM SWEIS, and there were no 

significant new circumstances or 

information relevant to environmental 

concerns; thus, the existing SNL/NM 

SWEIS was adequate and neither a 

supplemental EIS nor a new EIS was 

required. 

The new SWEIS No Action 

Alternative will include the 

implementation of other decisions 

supported by separate NEPA analyses 

completed since the issuance of the 

Final 1999 SNL/NM SWEIS. This 

includes five Supplement Analyses 

resulting in the determination that 

further NEPA documentation was not 

required: (1) Supplement Analysis for 

the Final Site-Wide Environmental 

Impact Statement for Sandia National 

Laboratories, New Mexico to 

Reestablishing Long-Term Pulse Mode 

Testing Capability at the Annular Core 

Research Reactor (ACRR), Sandia 

National Laboratories, New Mexico 

(ACRR Pulse Mode SA) (DOE/EIS–0281– 

SA–01); (2) Supplement Analysis for the 

Final Site-Wide Environmental Impact 

Statement for Sandia National 

Laboratories, New Mexico for Isentropic 

Compression and Flyer Plate 

Experiments Involving Plutonium at the 

Z and Saturn Accelerators (Pu-ICE SA) 

(DOE/EIS–0281–SA–02); (3) 

Supplement Analysis for the Final SiteWide Environmental Impact Statement 

for Sandia National Laboratories, New 

Mexico for the Installation of a Petawatt 

Laser System in TA–IV (Petawatt Laser 

System SA) (DOE/EIS–0281–SA–03); (4) 

Sandia National Laboratories, New 

Mexico Final Supplement Analysis for 

the Site-Wide Environmental Impact 

Statement (2006 SNL/NM SWEIS SA) 

(DOE/EIS–0281–SA–04); and (5) Final 

Complex Transformation Supplemental 

Programmatic Environmental Impact 

Statement (DOE/EIS–0235–S4) and its 

RODs (73 FR 77644 and 73 FR 77656). 

In addition the following seven 

environmental assessments and their 

associated Findings of No Significant 

Impacts will also be included in the No 

Action Alternative as well as actions 

categorically excluded from the need for 

preparation of either an EA or an EIS: 

(1) Environmental Assessment for the 

Microsystems and Engineering Sciences 

Applications Complex, DOE/EA–1335, 

September 2000; (2) Final 

Environmental Assessment for the Test 

Capabilities Revitalization at Sandia 

National Laboratories, New Mexico, 

DOE/EA–1446, January 2003; (3) Final 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies 

at Sandia National Laboratories, New 

Mexico, DOE/EA–1457, March 2003; (4) 

Final Environmental Assessment for the 

Proposed Consolidation of Neutron 

Generator Tritium Target Loading 

Production, DOE/EA–1532, June 2005; 

(5) Final Environmental Assessment for 

the Expansion of Permitted Land and 

Operations at the 9940 Complex and 

Thunder Range at Sandia National 

Laboratories, New Mexico, DOE/EA– 

1603, April 2008; (6) Final 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Removal Actions at the technical Area 

III Classified Waste Landfill, Sandia 

National Laboratories, New Mexico, 

DOE/EA–1729, August 2010; (7) Final 

Environmental Assessment for Proposed

Albuquerque, New Mexico, U. S.

On June 24, 2011, (76 FR 37100), 

NNSA published a NOI for the 

preparation of a SWEIS (DOE/EIS–0466) 

for the continued operation of DOE/ 

NNSA activities at SNL/NM on KAFB 

and within the Albuquerque area, and 

other DOE activities at both on-site and 

off-site locations (i. e., the NNSA 

Service Center, the NNSA Office of 

Secure Transportation, NNSA Kirtland 

Operations, the NNSA Aviation Facility, 

and the DOE National Training Center). 

The NOI stated that the public scoping 

period would continue for 45 days after 

publication in the Federal Register, 

ending on August 8, 2011. NNSA has 

decided to re-open the public scoping 

period through September 12, 2011. 

NNSA has also decided to hold two 

additional public scoping meetings 

during the comment period. The newly 

added public scoping meetings will take 

place on Thursday September 1, 2011, 

in Albuquerque, NM. The complete 

schedule for the additional public 

scoping meetings on the SWEIS with all 

dates, times, and locations is the 

provided above, under DATES. 

The SWEIS scoping meetings will use 

a format to facilitate dialogue between 

DOE/NNSA and the public and will 

provide individuals the opportunity to 

give written or oral statements. DOE/ 

NNSA welcomes specific comments or 

suggestions on the SWEIS process. 

NNSA invites stakeholders and 

members of the public to submit 

comments on the scope of the SWEIS 

during the public scoping period, which 

started with the publication of the NOI 

in the Federal Register on June 24, 

2011, and will now be continued 

through September 12, 2011. NNSA will 

consider comments received after this 

date to the extent practicable as it 

prepares the draft SWEIS. Questions or 

Comments concerning the scope of the 

SWEIS can be submitted to the NNSA 

SSO at the same postal and electronic 

addresses given above. Additionally, the 

SSO SWEIS Hotline provides 

instructions on how to record 

comments. Please mark all envelopes, 

faxes and e-mail: ‘‘Scoping Comments 

SSO SNL/NM SWEIS’’.
