SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c) 

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA) of 1969, as implemented by 

the Council on Environmental Quality 

Regulations (40 CFR parts 1500–1508), 

the Department of the Navy (Navy) 

announces its intent to prepare an EIS 

to identify and evaluate the potential 

environmental effects that may result 

from airfield training operations at NAS 

Key West. The EIS will consider all 

reasonable alternatives to the proposed 

action, including the No Action 

Alternative. 

Dates and Addresses: Public scoping 

meetings will be held in Key West, 

Florida to receive oral and/or written 

comments on environmental concerns 

that should be addressed in the EIS. The 

public scoping meetings will be held on: 

1. Wednesday, May 26, 2010, 

Doubletree Grand Key Resort 

Conference Room, 3990 South Roosevelt 

Boulevard, Key West, Florida. 

2. Thursday, May 27, 2010, Tennessee 

Williams Theater at Florida Keys 

Community College, 5901 College Road, 

Key West (Stock Island), Florida. 

Each meeting will occur in 

consecutive sessions from 3 p.m. to 5

meetings will be an open house format 

with informational displays and 

materials available for public review. 

The public will have an opportunity to 

submit written comments on 

environmental concerns that should be 

addressed in the EIS. Navy staff will be 

present at these open houses to answer 

questions.

Key West EIS Project Manager, Naval 

Facilities Engineering Command

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Navy’s proposed action is to support 

and conduct aircraft training operations 

at NAS Key West by maintaining 

current/baseline airfield operations, 

supporting new aircraft airfield 

operations, and modifying airfield 

operations as necessary in support of 

the Fleet Readiness Training Plan 

(FRTP). 

The purpose of the proposed action is 

to sustain the long-term viability of the 

NAS Key West airfield as a Fleet 

training station for tactical aviation 

squadrons and other DoD and Federal 

agency airfield users. The action is 

needed to maintain the level of 

readiness mandated in section 5062 of 

Title 10 of the United States Code. The 

primary mission of NAS Key West is to 

provide aviation training facilities, 

services, and access to training ranges 

for tactical aviation squadrons 

homebased throughout the United 

States. NAS Key West’s weather/climate 

support year-round Fleet training, and 

its location provides efficient access to 

the nearby Key West Range Complex, 

the Fleet training range complex 

regularly used by Department of Defense 

(DoD) and Federal agency aircrews from 

around the country. The location of the 

Key West Range Complex offers the 

supporting infrastructure and 

unobstructed airspace that allows the 

Navy to fulfill operational and readiness 

training requirements. The primary 

users of NAS Key West are active and 

reserve Fleet F/A–18C Hornet and F/A– 

18E/F Super Hornet squadrons from 

both the East and West Coasts. 

Additionally, it is anticipated that F– 

35C aircraft homebased in the 

continental United States will operate at 

NAS Key West by 2015 as those aircraft 

replace the Navy’s aging F/A–18C 

aircraft. Specifically, use of NAS Key 

West is necessary so that the Navy is 

able to support the rapid deployment of 

naval units; achieve and sustain 

readiness of squadrons to quickly surge 

significant combat power in the event of 

a national crisis or contingency 

operation consistent with the FRTP; and 

support required flight operations of 

other Federal agencies. 

The action alternatives to be 

considered to achieve the proposed 

action include, but are not limited to: (1) 

Maintaining baseline operations while 

supporting the introduction of new 

aircraft and related, but minor 

infrastructure improvements necessary 

to support airfield flight operations; and 

(2) increasing airfield training 

operations above baseline levels, while 

supporting the introduction of new 

aircraft and related, but minor, 

infrastructure improvements necessary 

to support airfield flight operations. A 

potential increase in airfield operations 

above current/baseline levels would 

provide added operational capacity and 

flexibility to meet Navy training 

requirements under the FRTP. 

Under the No Action Alternative, 

current/baseline operations and support 

of existing capabilities would continue 

and new aircraft would not be 

introduced. 

No decision will be made to 

implement any alternative until the EIS 

process is completed and a Record of 

Decision is signed, by the Assistant 

Secretary of the Navy (Energy, 

Installations and Environment) or 

designee. 

The EIS will evaluate the 

environmental effects associated with: 

Airspace; noise; safety; land resources; 

water resources; air quality; biological 

resources, including threatened and 

endangered species; land use and 

coastal resources; socioeconomic 

resources; infrastructure; cultural 

resources; and consistency with existing 

land use control plans, policies, and 

actions. The analysis will include an 

evaluation of direct and indirect 

impacts, and will account for 

cumulative impacts from other relevant 

activities in the area of NAS Key West. 

Additionally, the Navy will undertake 

any consultations required by all 

applicable laws or regulations. 

The Navy is initiating this scoping 

process to identify community concerns 

and issues that should be addressed in 

the EIS. Federal, State, and local 

agencies, and interested parties and 

persons are encouraged to provide 

comments on the proposed action that 

clearly describe specific issues or topics 

of environmental concern that the 

commenter believes that the Navy 

should consider. All comments, written 

or provided orally at during the 30-day 

scoping comment period (ending June 

10, 2010) will receive the same attention 

and consideration during EIS 

preparation. 

Comments may be submitted orally or 

in writing at one of the public scoping 

meetings, electronically through the 

project Web site at http:// 

www.keywesteis.com, or may be mailed 

to: U.S. Navy NAS Key West Air 

Operations EIS Project Manager, P.O. 

Box 30, Bldg 903, NAS Jacksonville, FL 

32212. All written comments on the 

scope of the EIS must be submitted or 

postmarked no later than June 10, 2010.
