DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Department of the Army

Final Programmatic Environmental

Assessment (FPEA) and Finding of No

Significant Impact (FNSI) for the Joint

Vaccine Acquisition Program (JVAP)

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: The Department of the Army

announces the availability for public

review and comment of an FPEA and

FNSI for the JVAP. The primary

objective of the JVAP is to develop,

produce, store, test, and field sufficient

quantities of U.S. Food and Drug

Administration (FDA) licensed vaccines

to implement U.S. government policy

for protecting its armed forces against

biological warfare agents. Because of the

current threat of biological warfare and

its continuing proliferation, there is an

urgent need to protect our fighting men

and women who go in harm’s way. The

JVAP is implemented by the Department

of Defense through the Joint Program

Office for Biological Defense for which

the Army is the lead agency. The JVAP

FPEA characterizes and assesses the

possible and probable environmental

consequences associated with the JVAP

as proposed and the alternatives

considered. The FPEA concludes that

the proposed JVAP activities and the

alternatives analyzed are not likely to

have significant adverse effects upon the

quality of the environment.

Alternatives:

a. Implement and operate the JVAP

through which the Army proposes to

develop, produce, store, test, and field

vaccines for biological defense which

are otherwise unavailable (Preferred

Alternative).

b. No action (cessation of all JVAP

activities now and in the future).

c. Conduct current and currently

planned JVAP activities in a

consolidated government facility.

d. Conduct current and currently

planned JVAP activities at a

consolidated contractor facility.

Comments: The JVAP FPEA/FNSI is

available for public review and

comment. Mr. Bruce G. Kay is the

Department of the Army clearinghouse

for requests for the JVAP FPEA and

documentation from previous

environmental analyses referenced in

the FPEA. The JVAP FPEA

documentation with supporting reports

is available through the internet at http:/

/www.armymedicine.army.mil/jvapfpea. Written comments regarding the

FPEA/FNSI should be submitted to the

address provided below.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before October 17, 1997.
