DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Navy 

Notice of Intent to Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

Introduction of the P–8A Multi-Mission 

Maritime Aircraft to the U.S. Navy Fleet 

and Notice of Public Scoping Meetings 

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c) 

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA) of 1969, as implemented by 

the Council on Environmental Quality 

regulations (40 CFR parts 1500–1508), 

the Department of the Navy (DON) 

announces its intent to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

to evaluate the potential environmental 

consequences of homebasing the P–8A 

Multi-Mission Maritime Aircraft (MMA) 

to the East and West Coasts of the 

United States and a presence, i.e., 

homebase or detachment, in Hawaii. 

The DON proposes to replace the 

maritime patrol P–3C aircraft with the 

P–8A MMA at existing continental 

United States maritime patrol 

homebases for P–3C Orion aircraft while 

maintaining a maritime patrol presence 

in Hawaii. The purpose is to transition 

from P–3C patrol aircraft to the P–8A 

MMA at existing homebases to 

maximize utilization of existing 

infrastructure to the maximum extent 

practicable to facilitate a quick and 

efficient transition while maintaining 

combat readiness. Currently, P–3C 

patrol squadrons are based at Naval Air 

Station (NAS) Brunswick, ME (to be 

relocated in their entirety to NAS 

Jacksonville by 2010 as a result of the 

Base Realignment and Closure 2005 

process); NAS Jacksonville, FL; NAS 

Whidbey Island, WA; Marine Corps 

Base Hawaii (MCBH) Kaneohe Bay, HI; 

with periodic detachments at NAS 

North Island, CA. 

The proposed action is needed to 

transition from existing P–3C aircraft to 

the P–8A MMA while maintaining the 

Navy’s overall maritime patrol 

capability in support of national defense 

objectives and policies without 

interruption or impediment to 

operations or combat readiness. 

The P–8A is designed to increase 

combat capability utilizing a smaller 

force making it a more effective tool for 

national defense. The P–8A is a 

derivative of the 737 commercial aircraft 

and will be equipped with systems 

capable of performing the current P–3C 

missions. Introduction of the P–8A 

MMA aircraft will begin in 2011 and be 

completed by 2019. 

The following have been identified as 

receiving sites: NAS Whidbey Island, 

WA, NAS Jacksonville, FL, and either 

MCBH Kaneohe Bay or Hickam Air 

Force Base, HI, with a training 

detachment site at NAS North Island, 

CA. The DON is currently evaluating a 

range of alternatives based on the 

number of squadrons homebased at each 

site, placement of the fleet replacement 

squadron, and the number of main 

operating bases. 

DATES AND ADDRESSES: Public scoping 

meetings will be held to receive written 

comments on environmental concerns 

that should be addressed in the EIS. 

Public scoping meetings will be as 

follows: 

1. Jacksonville, FL, Thursday, January 

11, 2007, 5 p.m.–8 p.m., Holiday Inn, 

Orange Park, 150 Park Avenue, Orange 

Park, FL 32073. 

2. Honolulu, HI, Thursday, January 

18, 2007, 5 p.m.–8 p.m., Pacific Beach 

Hotel, 2490 Kalakaua Avenue, 

Honolulu, HI 96815. 

3. Coronado, CA, Thursday, February 

8, 2007, 5 p.m.–8 p.m., Coronado Public 

Library, 640 Orange Avenue, Coronado, 

CA 92118. 

4. Whidbey Island, WA, Thursday, 

February 15, 2007, 5 p.m.–8 p.m., Oak 

Harbor School District Office, Board 

Room, 350 S. Oak Harbor Street, Oak 

Harbor, WA 98277. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Commander, Naval Facilities 

Engineering Command Atlantic 

Division, 6506 Hampton Blvd, Norfolk, 

VA 23508–1278, Attn: MMA PM, fax 

757–322–4894. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose is to transition from P–3C 

patrol aircraft to the P–8A MMA at 

existing homebases to maximize 

utilization of existing infrastructure to 

the maximum extent practicable to 

facilitate a quick and efficient transition 

while maintaining combat readiness. 

The P–3C which has been in service 

since August 1969 is quickly 

approaching the end of its service life. 

The EIS will address the 

environmental impacts of the proposed 

action associated with basing of the P–

8A MMA and associated with 

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 

and contract personnel to the area to 

support the operation and maintenance 

of the P–8A MMA squadrons. 

The EIS will address any potential 

environmental impacts associated with: 

water resources, air quality, biological 

resources, threatened and endangered 

species, land use, socioeconomic 

resources, infrastructure, and cultural 

resources. Further, the DON will 

examine potential effects on existing 

airspace and aircraft noise exposure 

levels in and around the bases. The 

analyses will include direct and indirect 

impacts, and will account for 

cumulative impacts from other past, 

present and reasonably foreseeable 

future actions in the site specific 

location. 

The DON is initiating the scoping 

process to identify community concerns 

and local issues that should be 

addressed in the EIS. Federal, state, and 

local agencies, and interested parties are 

encouraged to provide written 

comments to the DON to identify 

specific issues or topics of 

environmental concern that should be 

addressed in the EIS. The DON will 

consider these comments in 

determining the scope of the EIS. 

Written comments on the scope of the 

EIS should be submitted and 

postmarked no later than March 2, 2007, 

and should be mailed to: Commander, 

Naval Facilities Engineering Command 

Atlantic, 6506 Hampton Blvd., Norfolk,
