[Notice 97–127]

National Environmental Policy Act;

Notice of Cassini Mission Record

Decision

In furtherance of the Council on

Environmental Quality regulation at 40

CFR 1505.2 and the National

Aeronautics and Space Administration

(NASA) regulation at 14 CFR 1216.311,

public notice is hereby provided that on

August 12, 1997, a Record of Decision

(ROD) was rendered pertaining to the

Supplemental Environmental Impact

Statement (SEIS) for the Cassini Mission

to Saturn. While the ROD completes the

National Environmental Policy Act

process, the ‘‘Go/No-Go’’ decision for

launch of the Cassini spacecraft will not

be made until all of the mission and

flight readiness reviews are completed.

By way of background, in July 1995,

NASA issued a Final Environmental

Impact Statement, dated June 1995. In

April 1997, the Draft SEIS was made

available to the public. NASA

responded to the comments on the Draft

SEIS and issued the Final SEIS on June

27, 1997, with publication of the notice

of availability of the Final SEIS on July

3, 1997. The prescribed 30-day waiting

period ended on August 4, 1997. Five

comment letters (1 Federal agency, 4

individuals) were received on the Final

SEIS. The comments were evaluated

and determined not to present

significant new information or data

relevant to environmental concerns and

bearing on the proposed action or its

environmental impacts.

After consideration of all of the

information, as updated in the final

SEIS, the alternatives evaluated, public

comments received, and other technical

and programmatic factors, the decision

(documented in the ROD) is the

selection of the preferred alternative.

This alternative consists of completing

preparations for the Cassini Mission to

Saturn, launching the spacecraft on a

Titan IV (SRMU)/Centaur from the U.S.

Air Force Cape Canaveral Air Station,

Florida, and operating the mission. The

launch is planned to take place during

the primary launch opportunity

beginning in early October 1997, with a

secondary opportunity beginning in late

November 1997 and a backup

opportunity beginning in March 1999.
