Therefore, we expect that a significant

portion of the community service

activities supported by the sub-grant

will be conducted by persons with

disabilities. In addition, we encourage

activities where persons with

disabilities and others are working sideby-side. Applicants must propose

clearly-defined and specific activities to

reach organizations that will apply as

sub-grantees.

The direct service to be done on and

in connection with the service days may

include, but is not limited to, the

following types of activities: tutoring

children or adults, feeding the hungry,

packing lunches, delivering meals,

stocking a food or clothing pantry,

repairing a school and adding to its

resources, translating books and

documents into other languages,

recording books for the visually

impaired, restoring a public space,

organizing a blood drive, registering

bone marrow and organ donors,

renovating low-income or senior

housing, building a playground,

removing graffiti and painting a mural,

building or repairing homes for families

in need, arranging safe spaces for

children who are out of school and

whose parents are working, collecting

oral histories of elders, running health

fairs, and gleaning and distributing

fruits and vegetables.

Although celebrations, parades, and

recognition ceremonies may be a part of

the activities planned on the day of

service, for the purposes of this grant

those activities may not be supported.

Grants will be subject to the National

and Community Service Act and to

applicable Corporation regulations,

including those published in 45 C.F.R.

Parts 2540–2543.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to section 102(2)(c) of the NEPA of 1969,

as implemented by the Council on

Environmental Quality regulations (40

CFR parts 1500–1508), the Navy

announces its intent to prepare an EIS

to evaluate the potential environmental

consequences of the introduction of the

Atlantic Fleet F/A–18 E/F aircraft on the

East Coast of the United States.

The Navy has decided to purchase F/

A–18 E/F aircraft because of its

improved capabilities over earlier

aircraft models. It is designed to fly

farther and carry a heavier payload,

which will make it a more effective tool

for national defense. An EIS and Record

of Decision (ROD) were completed in

1998 for the introduction of F/A–18 E/

F aircraft on the West Coast. In 1999, the

Navy began a phase-in of the F/A–18 E/

F aircraft to NAS Lemoore, California.

Introduction of the F/A–18 E/F aircraft

in the Atlantic fleet area of

responsibility will begin in 2004 and be

completed by 2008.

The EIS will address the

environmental impacts associated with

basing and operation of the Atlantic

fleet F/A–18 E/F aircraft on the East

Coast, retirement of existing F–14

aircraft and earlier F/A–18 models, and

new construction and/or renovation of

buildings and other support facilities. In

addition, the EIS will assess impacts on

each local community and economy

associated with relocation of military

personnel to the area to support the

operation and maintenance of the E/F

squadrons.

The Navy is currently evaluating East

Coast installations to develop

reasonable F/A–18 E/F siting

alternatives. To date, four Navy and

Marine Corps air stations have been

identified as potential receiving sites:

Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS)

Beaufort, South Carolina; MCAS Cherry

Point, North Carolina; Naval Air Station

(NAS) Oceana, Virginia; and NAS

Meridian, Mississippi. Other siting

alternatives are still being considered.

The Navy’s preferred alternative is to

site all the Atlantic fleet F/A–18 E/F

squadrons at one location; however,

splitting the squadrons between two

bases is not precluded.

The Navy intends to analyze the

potential environmental impacts of the
