DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Department of the Air Force

Notice of Intent To Prepare an

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

for the Brooks City Base Project,

Brooks Air Force Base (AFB), Texas

The United States Air Force is issuing

this notice to advise the public of its

intention to prepare an EIS for the

Brooks City Base Project (BCBP). The

EIS will be prepared pursuant to the

National Environmental Policy Act

(NEPA) of 1969, as amended (42 U.S.C.

4321, et seq.), the Council on

Environmental Quality (CEQ)

Regulations for Implementing the

Procedural Provisions of NEPA (40 CFR

parts 1500 to 1508), and Air Force

policy and procedures (32 CFR part

989). The BCBP is authorized under the

provisions of the Fiscal year 2000

Defense Appropriations Act, Public Law

106–79, section 8168. It is intended to

improve mission effectiveness and asset

management and reduce the cost of

providing quality installation support

services at Brooks AFB.

Under the BCBP, the Air Force

proposes to convey all or portions of the

approximately 1,310 acres of base real

property to the City of San Antonio or

other public or private entity and lease

back those facilities required to support

the continuing Air Force mission. The

City of San Antonio or other entity

would develop available portions of the

base property in a manner that is not

inconsistent with continuing Brooks

AFB mission activities.

The EIS will address the potential

environmental impacts associated with

the proposed BCBP. The Proposed

Action is a transfer/leaseback of Brooks

AFB property. Alternatives include Air

Force outgrant of portions of the base,

under which the Air Force would retain

ownership, and the no-action

alternative, under which the BCBP

would not be implemented. The

analysis will examine the reasonably

foreseeable environmental

consequences of the Proposed Action

and alternatives under several different

land use scenarios.

To provide a forum for public officials

and the community to provide

information and comments on the

project, the Air Force will hold a public

scoping meeting in San Antonio at the

following location near Brooks AFB:

Date: July 12, 2000.

Location: Slattery Hall, 9006

Villamain Road, San Antonio, Texas

78223.

Time: 7–9 p.m.

Notice of the time and location of the

meeting will also be announced in local

newspapers. The purpose of the meeting

is to: (1) Identify the environmental

issues and concerns that should be

analyzed; (2) solicit comments on the

Proposed Action and alternatives; and

(3) solicit potential alternatives to the

Proposed Action. in soliciting

information on potential alternatives,

the Air Force will consider reasonable

alternatives offered during the public

scoping period, currently scheduled to

continue through August 4, 2000.

To ensure sufficient time to

adequately consider public input

concerning environmental issues and

alternatives to be included in the EIS,

the Air Force recommends that

comments be forwarded to the address

listed below by the end of the scoping

period. The Air Force will, however,

accept additional comments at any time

during the environmental impact

analysis process.

Please direct written comments or

requests for further information

concerning the BCBP EIS to Mr.

Jonathan D. Farthing, HQ AFCEE/ECA,

3207 North Road, Brooks Air Force

Base, Texas 78235–5363; (210) 536–

3668.

Abstract: The National School-toWork Office collects information from

funded local partnerships to gather

evidence on state and local progress in

implementing School-to-Work systems.

Data elements have included student,

school, and employer involvement in

School-to-Work; graduation and

postsecondary transition rates for

students; and funds leveraged by

partnerships to sustain their School-toWork systems. Information is used to

provide an annual School-to-Work

report to Congress, as well as to build

state’s capacity to collect and analyze

information for their own system

improvement purposes.
