would be required to determine whether 

the amendment would distinguish over 

the prior art, and if such search and/or 

consideration would be possible within 

the time allotted to them under the 

AFCP 2.0 program. If additional search 

and/or consideration would be required 

but could not be completed within the 

allotted time, the examiner will process 

the submission consistent with current 

practice concerning responses after final 

rejection under 37 CFR 1.116, e.g., by 

mailing an advisory action. 

If the examiner determines that the 

amendment does not necessitate 

additional search and/or consideration, 

or if the examiner determines that 

additional search and/or consideration 

is required and could be completed 

within the allotted time, then the 

examiner will consider whether the 

amendment places the application in 

condition for allowance (after 

completing the additional search and/or 

consideration, if required). If the 

examiner determines that the 

amendment places the application in 

condition for allowance, then the 

examiner will enter the amendment and 

mail a notice of allowance. If the 

examiner determines that the 

amendment does not appear to place the 

application in condition for allowance, 

then the examiner will contact the 

applicant to schedule an interview to 

discuss the amendment. 

The interview will be conducted by 

the examiner, and if the examiner does 

not have negotiation authority, a 

primary examiner and/or supervisory 

patent examiner will also participate. 

Following the interview, the examiner 

will proceed with an appropriate 

response to the submission after final 

rejection according to current practice. 

If the applicant declines the interview, 

or is unable to schedule the interview 

within ten (10) calendar days from the 

date the examiner first contacts the 

applicant, then the examiner may 

proceed with an appropriate response to 

the submission after final rejection 

according to current practice.

BILLING CODE 6353–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Notice of Intent (NOI) To Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for Proposed Establishment and 

Expansion of Military Airspace in 

Support of the Oregon Air National 

Guard (ORANG), Portland International 

Airport, Portland, and Kingsley Field, 

Klamath Falls, OR 

AGENCY: Department of the Air Force; 

DOD. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321, et 

seq.), the Council on Environmental 

Quality (CEQ) Regulations for 

Implementing the Procedural Provisions 

of NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500–1508), and 

Air Force policy and procedures (32 

CFR part 989), the Air Force is issuing 

this notice to advise the public of its 

intent to prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed 

establishment and expansion of Special 

Use Airspace over portions of Oregon 

and a small area over northwestern 

Nevada and southwestern Washington. 

The proposal would provide adequately 

sized and configured airspace within 

close proximity to ORANG flying units 

to support advanced 21st-century air-toair tactical fighter technologies and 

current and evolving training mission 

requirements and ensure efficient and 

realistic mission-oriented training. The 

training would take place Monday 

through Friday and during one weekend 

per month. 

In support of the ORANG’s 142d and 

173d Fighter Wings, the Air Force and 

the National Guard Bureau (NGB) are 

proposing (Alternative A) to expand, 

modify, and establish air-to-air training 

airspace areas in four locations around 

the state: (1) Proposed expansion of 

Warning Area 570 (W–570) to the west 

over the Pacific Ocean; (2) proposed 

establishment of the Eel Military 

Operations Area (MOA) directly 

underneath the existing Eel Air Traffic 

Control Assigned Area which is aligned 

north/south along the Oregon coast from 

approximately Astoria to Lincoln City 

and adjacent to W–570; (3) proposed 

establishment of the Redhawk MOA in 

north central Oregon roughly bounded 

by Highway 97/197 on the west, the 

towns of Wasco and Lexington on the 

north, US Highway 395 on the east, and 

US Highway 26 on the south; and (4) 

proposed expansion of the existing 

Juniper/Hart MOA Complex to the east 

approximately 20 miles which would 

extend from approximately Burns to 

Frenchglen in Oregon and to Big 

Mountain in northwestern Nevada. Four 

alternatives and the No-Action 

Alternative will be analyzed. 

Alternative B includes the majority of 

airspace changes proposed for 

Alternative A; however, the Eel MOA 

would not be established. Alternative C 

includes the airspace changes proposed 

under Alternative A but the Redhawk 

MOA would not be established. 

Alternative D includes the airspace 

changes under Alternative A but would 

not include the eastward expansion of 

Juniper/Hart MOA Complex. Reasonable 

alternatives, which satisfy the 

underlying purpose and need for the 

proposed action, that are identified 

during the scoping process will also be 

assessed. 

Information: NGB will conduct public 

scoping meetings to solicit input 

concerning the proposal. The scoping 

process assists in determining the scope 

of issues to be addressed and to help 

identify significant environmental 

issues to be analyzed in depth in the 

EIS. Comments will be accepted at any 

time during the environmental impact 

analysis process; however, to ensure 

that NGB has sufficient time to consider 

public feedback in the preparation of 

the Draft EIS, scoping comments should 

be submitted to the address below no 

later than 60 days from the date of this 

notice. 

Scoping meetings will be held in the 

following Oregon communities: 

Tillamook (June 17), Astoria (June 18), 

Condon (June 19), Burns (June 20), and 

Prineville (June 21). Specific meeting 

times and locations will be provided in 

notices that will appear in The 

Oregonian and regional media outlets. 

Additional information will be made 

available at www.142fw.ang.af.mil and 

www.173fw.ang.af.mil.
