DISA management of all existing DMCs,

storefronts and other associated

facilities. This alternative includes the

completion of optimization and BRAC

initiatives that are currently underway

as well as actions that are within the

purview of DISA management, such as

contract consolidation and software

standardization.

Summary of Environmental Impacts

The Proposed Action is unlikely to

have significant impacts on the

environment, because DISA activities

associated with each site generally

occur indoors in computer, data

processing or office surroundings. The

operations have little, if any, interaction

with the human or natural environment.

Analyses of potential economic impacts

demonstrated no meaningful change to

the economic areas surrounding each of

the sites from the increase or decrease

in DISA employment.

Findings and Conclusions

The analyses conducted for this EA

support the determination that there are

no direct or indirect environmental

impacts which should preclude DISA

from implementing the Proposed

Action. The potential for impacts

resulting from DISA employment loss or

gain is negligible in each of the

economic areas associated with this

action. Therefore, no mitigation is

required or planned for the Proposed

Action. Based on the EA, a Finding of

No Significant Impact (FONSI) is issued.

Preparation of an Environmental Impact

Statement is not required for the

Proposed Action. This FONSI and the

supporting EA fulfill the requirements

of NEPA, DOD directive 6050.1, and the

Council on Environmental Quality

regulation implementing NEPA.

Chief Protocol Officer.
