Canyon Maneuver Site (PCMS) in Las 

Animas County in southeastern 

Colorado, and other Army 

transformation programs. The decision 

is based on the analysis described in the 

Final PCMS Transformation 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), 

supporting studies, and comments 

provided during formal comment and 

review periods.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Army 

has decided to proceed with 

implementing the Proposed Action 

described in the Final EIS. The 

Proposed Action is the Army’s preferred 

alternative to implement three 

transformation programs at the PCMS. 

The Army transformation programs 

include: BRAC 2005; Global Defense 

Posture Realignment (formerly known 

as Integrated Global Presence and 

Basing Strategy); and the Army Modular 

Force initiative. These programs are part 

of the overall Army restructuring and 

are needed to prepare the Army’s 

combat forces for deployment around 

the world. The Army’s decision 

considered and is consistent with the 

analysis presented in the EIS, 

supporting studies, and comments 

provided during formal comment and 

review periods. 

To implement the BRAC Commission 

recommendations, the Proposed Action 

includes two primary components: (1) 

More frequent use of the PCMS training 

areas to provide training for 

approximately 8,500 realigned Active 

Component (AC) Soldiers and 

additional Reserve Component (RC) 

Soldiers assigned to, or otherwise under 

the control of, Fort Carson and (2) 

construction of facilities in the 

Cantonment and ranges in the training 

areas. 

The Proposed Action will provide for 

increased frequency of training for 

existing and new units stations at, or 

otherwise assigned to, Fort Carson. 

Training and maneuver activities would 

be similar to the types of activities that 

presently occur on the PCMS. The 

increased training requirements of 

additional AC and RC units, however, 

will result in increased frequency of use 

of the training areas. The Army will 

continue to implement land and 

environmental management programs 

and practices to sustain its training 

lands for continued use. The No Action 

Alternative would not meet the Army’s 

purpose and need for the Proposed 

Action because the BRAC realignment is 

required by Congress and needed for 

Army transformation to be effective. 

All practicable means to avoid or 

minimize environmental impacts as a 

result of implementing the selected 

action have been adopted. The Army 

will minimize effects on all 

environmental and cultural resources by 

implementing the best management 

practices and mitigation measures 

described in the ROD to minimize or 

avoid the adverse effects identified in 

the Final EIS. 

The Army’s decision reflects a proper 

balance among initiatives for protection 

of the environment, appropriate 

mitigation, and actions to achieve the 

Army’s requirements. 

The decision does not include 

expansion of the PCMS through land 

acquisition. Expansion of the PCMS is a 

separate action that will be evaluated in 

a public process at a future date.

Department of the Army 

Notice of Availability of the Record of 

Decision (ROD) for Transformation at 

Fort Carson, CO 

AGENCY: Department of the Army. 

ACTION: Record of Decision. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the Army 

announces the availability of a ROD 

documenting and explaining the 

decision to implement realignment 

actions, as directed by the Base 

Realignment and Closure (BRAC) 

Commission, and other Army 

transformation programs, at the Fort 

Carson military installation near 

Colorado Springs, Colorado. The 

decision is based on the analysis 

described in the Final Fort Carson 

Transformation Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS), supporting studies, and 

comments provided during formal 

comment and review periods.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Army 

has decided to proceed with 

implementing the Proposed Action 

described in the Final EIS. The 

Proposed Action is the Army’s preferred 

alternative to implement three 

transformation programs at Fort Carson. 

The Army transformation programs 

include: BRAC 2005; Global Defense 

Posture Realignment (formerly known 

as Intergrated Global Presence and 

Basing Strategy); and the Army Modular 

Force initiative. These programs are part 

of the overall Army restructuring and 

are needed to prepare the Army’s 

combat forces for deployment around 

the world. The Army’s decision 

considered, and is consistent with, the 

analysis presented in the EIS, 

supporting studies, and comments 

provided during formal comment and 

review periods. 

To implement transformation 

programs, the Proposed Action includes 

three primary components: (1) Changes 

in force structure resulting in a net gain 

of military units and personnel; (2) 

facility construction, renovation, and 

demolition; and (3) increased frequency 

of live-fire and maneuver training. The 

only alternative to the Proposed Action 

that was evaluated in the Final EIS, the 

No Action alternative, is not feasible 

because restationing has been directed 

by BRAC 2005. 

All practicable means have been 

adopted to avoid adverse impacts on 

environmental and cultural resources 

identified in the Final EIS as a result of 

implementing the selected action. To 

the extent that such impacts cannot be 

avoided altogether, the Army will 

minimize them by implementing the 

best management practices and 

mitigation measures described in ROD. 

The Army’s decision reflects a proper 

balance among initiatives for protection 

of the environment, appropriate 

mitigation, and actions to achieve the 

Army’s requirements.

e.g. new, revision, extension, existing or 

reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of 

the collection; (4) Description of the

burden. OMB invites public comment. 

The Department of Education is 

especially interested in public comment 

addressing the following issues: (1) Is 

this collection necessary to the proper 

functions of the Department; (2) will 

this information be processed and used 

in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate 

of burden accurate; (4) how might the 

Department enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (5) how might the 

Department minimize the burden of this 

collection on the respondents, including 

through the use of information 

technology.
