DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Defense Logistics agency 

Privatization of Packaged Petroleum, 

Oils, and Lubricants and Certain 

Classes of Chemicals 

AGENCY: Defense Logistics Agency, 

Department of Defense. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability of 

Environmental Assessment and a Draft 

Finding of No Significant Impact for the 

Privatization of Packaged Petroleum, 

Oils, and Lubricants and Certain Classes 

of Chemicals. 

SUMMARY: The Defense Logistics Agency 

(DLA) announces the availability of the 

Environmental Assessment (EA) and 

Draft Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI) for the privatization of 

Packaged Petroleum, Oils, and 

Lubricants (POL) as recommended by 

the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure 

(BRAC) Commission, and certain classes 

of chemicals (Federal Supply Codes 

(FSCs) 6810, 6820, 6840, and 6850), a 

non-BRAC related action. Hereafter, 

POLs and the certain classes of 

chemicals are collectively referred to as 

POLs. This announcement is made 

pursuant to the Council on 

Environmental Quality’s regulations (40 

CFR parts 1500–1508) and the DLA 

regulation (DLAR 1000.22, 

Environmental Considerations in DLA 

Actions in the United States) that 

implement the National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA). 

DATES: The public comment period for 

the EA and Draft FONSI will end 30 

days after publication of this NOA in 

the Federal Register by the 

Environmental Protection Agency. 

Comments on the EA and Draft FONSI 

received by the end of the 30-day period 

will be considered when preparing the 

final version of the documents. 

ADDRESSES: The EA and Draft FONSI are 

available for review on the following 

DLA Web site—http:// 

www.dscr.dla.mil/UserWeb/FAGA/ 

privatize.htm. Written comments should 

be sent to Mr. Linwood I. Rogers at: 

Defense Supply Center Richmond, Attn: 

DSCR–G, 800 Jefferson Davis Highway, 

Richmond, VA 23297. Comments may 

also be faxed to Mr. Rogers at (804) 279–

4137. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Linwood I. Rogers, Phone (804) 279–

1425 during normal business hours 

Monday through Friday or E-Mail: 

Linwood.Rogers@dla.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Proposed Action, DLA would 

disestablish the wholesale supply, 

storage, and distribution functions for 

POLs at a variety of DLA sites 

nationwide, and centralize the supply 

contracting function at a single site—the 

Defense Supply Center, Richmond, 

Virginia (DSCR). All POL storage, 

supply, and distribution functions 

would be privatized through a 

competitive contracting mechanism. 

The selected private contractor would 

take over DLA’s role in providing 

wholesale supply, storage, and 

distribution of POLs. DSCR would 

retain oversight over any long-term 

contracts resulting from the 

privatization. The anticipated result of 

this privatization program will be the 

continued streamlining of DLA 

functions and improved support to the 

warfighter. This would be accomplished 

by leveraging the commercial industry 

to provide more efficient management of 

the supply chain that will decrease 

maintenance delays through better 

product availability, lower costs to the 

government through economies of scale, 

and provide better delivery times 

through established commercial 

distribution and warehousing 

structures. 

The EA analyzes the potential effects 

on the human and natural environments 

of the Proposed Action, including Land 

Use, Transportation and Infrastructure, 

Air Quality, Socioeconomics, Biological 

Resources, Cultural Resources, and 

Hazardous Materials, as well as 

aesthetic and Visual Resources, Noise, 

Geology and Soils, Water Resources, 

and Utilities. The No Action alternative, 

in which the Proposed Action would 

not be implemented, is also analyzed 

and provides the baseline conditions for 

comparison to the Proposed Action. The 

EA concludes that privatizing the 

wholesale supply, storage and 

distribution functions for POLs would 

result in no significant beneficial or 

adverse impacts on the environment.
