DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

[Docket ID DOD–2011–OS–0069] 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment Regarding 

DLA Energy’s Mobility Fuel Purchasing 

Programs 

AGENCY: Defense Logistics Agency 

Energy (DLA Energy), DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment Regarding 

DLA Energy’s Mobility Fuel Purchasing 

Programs. 

SUMMARY: The Defense Logistics Agency 

is America’s combat logistics support 

agency responsible for sourcing and 

providing nearly every consumable item 

used by U.S. military forces worldwide. 

DLA Energy is a primary level field 

activity of DLA responsible for 

providing the Department of Defense 

and other government agencies with 

comprehensive energy solutions in the 

most effective and efficient manner 

possible. Its products and services offer 

a large array of energy related needs for 

the Federal Government and also help 

facilitate the cycle of storage and 

deployment of fuels and other energy 

sources. 

DLA Energy’s action, to purchase 

mobility fuels for the Department of 

Defense, has not changed. However, the 

nature and makeup of the petroleum 

market has. Crude oil from Canada 

represents 13% of total United States 

consumption. The Canadian Association 

of Petroleum Producers 2010 forecast 

states that by 2020 Canadian oil sands 

production will rise from 2.72 million 

barrels per day in 2009 to 4.34 million 

barrels per day in 2025. In addition, 

within the past three years, the 

Department of State has approved two 

new pipelines to transport crude oil 

derived from Canadian oil sands to the 

United States. An additional permit for 

a third pipeline is pending. Thus, more 

petroleum products derived from 

Canadian oil sands recovered crude may 

be available within the United States 

petroleum market. In addition, because 

various types of crudes are comingled 

prior to processing and because refined 

petroleum products are fungible, it is 

anticipated that these petroleum 

products produced from Canadian oil 

sands recovered crude will be blended 

with and thus indistinguishable from 

other petroleum products, thereby 

making it difficult for DLA Energy to 

exclude Canadian oil sands recovered 

crude refined petroleum from routine 

petroleum purchases. Therefore, DLA 

Energy has decided to study whether its 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

38118 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 125 / Wednesday, June 29, 2011 / Notices 

current purchases of mobility fuels for 

its customers today, and in the future, 

would or would not have environmental 

consequences. DLA Energy will conduct 

an Environmental Assessment to 

evaluate the potential environmental, 

human health, engineering and 

socioeconomic considerations, 

including a review of lifecycle 

greenhouse gas emissions, associated 

with DLA Energy’s purchase of mobility 

fuels, including any fuels containing 

Canadian oil sands recovered crude, in 

light of Section 526 of the EISA. 

The Environmental Assessment will 

aid DLA Energy in defining the effects 

of its current mobility fuels purchasing 

program, and determine whether a 

modification to this program would 

bring an improved environmental 

outcome without consequences to DLA 

Energy’s mission to support the 

Warfighter with comprehensive Energy 

solutions in the most effective and 

efficient manner possible. 

This notice serves as an 

announcement of scoping. As such, 

comments are sought from the public, 

government agencies, and other 

interested persons and organizations. 

Scoping is used to gain insight into the 

issues to be addressed and to identify 

other significant issues related to the 

proposed actions. All comments 

submitted during scoping will be 

considered by DLA Energy. 

There is always the possibility that 

DLA Energy might proceed to prepare 

an Environmental Impact Statement for 

the proposed actions instead of an 

Environmental Assessment. If this 

occurs, comments submitted now will 

be considered for any Environmental 

Impact Statement that is developed. 

DATES: Comments on the scope of the 

issues and alternatives to be addressed 

in the Environmental Assessment must 

be postmarked or e-mailed no later than 

30 days from the date of publication. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by the docket ID and title, by 

any of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments. 

• E-mail: NEPA@dla.mil. Include the 

docket ID in the subject line of the 

message. 

• Mail: Project Manager for NEPA, 

DLA Installation Support for Energy, 

8725 John J Kingman Road, Suite 2828,

• Mailing List: To be added to a 

mailing list about the proposed actions, 

contact DLA Installation Support for 

Energy at 703–767–8312. 

Note: Before including your address, phone 

number, e-mail address, or other personal 

identifying information in your comment, be 

advised that your entire comment, including 

your personal identifying information, may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask in your comment to 

withhold from public review your personal 

identifying information, we cannot guarantee 

that we will be able to do so.

Management Division, DLA Installation

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

mission of the DLA Energy (formerly 

known as Defense Energy Support 

Center) is to provide the Department of 

Defense (DoD) and other government 

agencies with comprehensive energy 

solutions in the most effective and 

efficient manner possible. DLA Energy 

contracts for fuel and other types of 

energy on behalf of the DoD and other 

government agencies. 

More than 99% of the fuel DLA 

Energy purchases are petroleum 

products. In FY 2010, DLA Energy 

purchased 5.5 billion gallons of fuel 

world wide, which included aviation 

fuels, marine distillate fuels and ground 

products such as heating oil, diesel and 

gasoline. Although DLA Energy is the 

largest federal government purchaser of 

petroleum, its purchases constitute less 

than 2% of total United States 

consumption. Within the jet fuel 

market, DLA Energy’s purchases are 

about 10% of total United States jet fuel 

consumption. 

For all of its procurements, DLA 

Energy follows standard procurement 

procedures as required in the Federal 

Acquisition Regulation and the Defense 

Federal Acquisition Regulation 

Supplement. DLA Energy uses 

commercial contracting procedures for 

commercial items found in Part 12 of 

these regulations. Almost all contracts 

are solicited using full and open 

competitive procedures and are 

awarded based on price. All the 

petroleum based fuel contracts contain 

economic price adjustment provisions, 

using market based industry 

publications. 

DLA Energy relies on industry 

practices and standards for 

manufacture, delivery, inspection, and 

acceptance of the fuels it purchases. All 

petroleum fuels are purchased under 

commercial or military specifications. 

The military specification fuel differs in 

only a few parameters from the 

commercial counterpart, such as flash 

point, freeze point and some special fuel 

additives. The military specification 

fuel is produced in the same refineries 

by the same methods as other 

commercial petroleum products and the 

same refineries which are producing 

military specification product for DLA 

Energy are producing commercial 

petroleum products at the same time. 

In addition, Section 526 of the Energy 

Independence and Security Act of 2007 

requires that the lifecycle greenhouse 

gas emissions of alternative or synthetic 

fuels, including a fuel produced from 

nonconventional petroleum sources, be 

less than or equal to the lifecycle 

greenhouse gas emissions of equivalent 

conventional petroleum in order for the 

federal government to contract for the 

fuel.
