Philadelphia, PA) and the consolidation

of the Defense Industrial Supply Center

with DPSC.

The military services exercising their

land-owning responsibilities will

conduct the NEPA analysis for the

disposal and reuse of DLA sites.

For the other actions, the

environmental assessment showed that

implementing the proposed action

would cause minimal or no adverse

environmental and socioeconomic

effects. A positive effect would be

realized through a reduction in DLA’s

consumption of resources and thereby

lessen negative environmental effects

associated with routine support of

Armed Forces activities. Analysis of the

consequences of the proposed action

does not indicate any environmental

impact mitigation measures required or

optional at the program level.

Accordingly, an environmental impact

statement will not be prepared.

A public comment period regarding

the environmental assessment will

begin at the time of publication of this

notice and will conclude 30 days

following. Copies of the environmental

assessment are available for inspection

at the address listed above. Interested

parties may contact the DLA Public

Affairs Office at (703) 767–6200.
