with the proposed action and 

alternatives, including the no action 

alternative. 

The final PEIS evaluates two 

alternatives in addition to the no action 

alternative. The proposed action 

(alternative 1, DTRA’s Preferred 

Alternative) involves expanding existing 

test beds and creating new ones; 

expanding the range of test types 

including targets, simulants, delivery 

systems and explosives; implementing 

infrastructure improvements at the 

Permanent High Explosive Test Site 

Administrative Park; and testing special 

weapons and delivery systems. 

Alternative two contains all of the 

actions described in alternative one plus 

the use of chemical simulants and 

taggants/tracers that are considered to 

have higher toxicity levels than those 

considered under alternative one. The 

increased hazards of using these 

chemicals lead to identifying alternative 

one as the preferred alternative. 

DATES: Effective Dates: DTRA will take 

no final action on the proposed 

activities before April 15, 2007 or April 

16, 2007. After April 15, 2007, DTRA 

will issue a Record of Decision (ROD). 

This ROD will document the Agency’s 

final determinations, in light of the 

PEIS, with regard to its intended 

activities at WSMR. A NoA will be 

published in the Federal Register 

announcing the ROD’s availability for 

public viewing.
