DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Navy 

Notice of Availability and Notice of 

Public Meetings for the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement/

Overseas Environmental Impact 

Statement for Commonwealth of the 

Northern Mariana Islands Joint Military 

Training 

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, 

Department of Defense. 

ACTION: Notice. 

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

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969, and regulations 

implemented by the Council on 

Environmental Quality (40 Code of 

Federal Regulations parts 1500–1508), 

Presidential E. O. 12114, Department of 

the Navy Procedures for Implementing 

NEPA (32 CFR part 775), and United 

States (U.S.) Marine Corps NEPA 

implementing regulations (Marine Corps 

Order P5090.2A), the U.S. Marine Corps 

Forces, Pacific (MARFORPAC) has 

prepared and filed with the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency a 

Draft Environmental Impact Statement/ 

Overseas Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS/OEIS). The Draft EIS/

OEIS evaluates the potential 

environmental impacts associated with 

the establishment of a series of live-fire 

ranges, training courses and maneuver 

areas in the Commonwealth of the 

Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) to 

reduce existing joint service training 

deficiencies and meet U.S. Pacific 

Command (PACOM) Service 

Components’ unfilled unit and 

combined level training requirements in 

the Western Pacific. The Federal 

Aviation Administration (FAA); 

International Broadcasting Bureau (IBB); 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE); 

National Marine Fisheries Service; U.S. 

Air Force; and U.S. Department of 

Interior, Office of Insular Affairs are 

cooperating agencies for this Draft EIS/ 

OEIS. MARFORPAC has also developed 

a Memorandum of Understanding with 

the PACOM Service Components 

regarding their support and engagement 

in the development of the EIS/OEIS. 

With the filing of the Draft EIS/OEIS, 

the Department of Defense (DoD) is 

initiating a 60-day public comment 

period and has scheduled three public 

comment meetings to receive oral and 

written comments on the Draft EIS/

OEIS. Federal, state and local agencies 

and interested parties are encouraged to 

provide comments in person at any of 

the public comment meetings, or in 

writing anytime during the public 

comment period. This Notice announces 

the dates and locations of the public 

meetings and provides supplementary 

information about the environmental 

planning effort. 

DATES: Three public meetings will be 

held, each including an informational 

open house followed by a public 

hearing. Each meeting will begin with a 

two-hour open house session where the 

public can learn more about the 

proposed action and potential 

environmental impacts from project 

team members and subject matter 

experts. A public hearing will follow the 

open house. The public is encouraged to 

attend the meetings, which will be held 

on the following dates, times, and 

locations: 

• Wednesday, April 29, 2015, 

5:00p.m.–8:00p.m., Saipan Southern 

High School, Saipan

Informational posters will be 

displayed and project team members 

and subject matter experts will be 

available during the open house portion 

of the meetings to discuss the proposed 

action, answer questions, and to accept 

written comments from the public. A 

Chamorro and Carolinian interpreter 

will be available. Oral comments will be 

recorded by a court reporter during the 

public hearing portion of the meetings. 

In the interest of available time, 

speakers at the public hearing will be 

limited to three (3) minutes to ensure all 

who wish to speak have an opportunity 

to do so. If a long statement is to be 

presented, it should be summarized at 

the public hearing and the full text 

submitted in writing. Full and equal 

consideration will be given to oral and 

written statements. Concurrent with the 

NEPA process, the DoD is conducting 

National Historic Preservation Act 

(NHPA) section 106 consultation 

regarding potential effects of the 

proposed action on historic properties. 

During each of the above meetings, the 

DoD will hold NHPA section 106 

information sessions in a separate area 

where subject matter experts will 

explain the NHPA section 106 process 

and solicit public input on the effects of 

the proposed action on historic 

properties.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. 

Marine Corps Forces, Pacific issued its 

Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare the 

EIS/OEIS in March 2013 in the Federal 

Register (78 FR 16257, March 14, 2013). 

Proposed Action: The proposed action 

is to establish live-fire Range Training 

Areas (RTAs) within the CNMI to 

address the U.S. Pacific Command 

Service Components’ unfilled unit level 

and combined level training 

requirements in the Western Pacific. To 

meet the purpose and need for the 

proposed action, the DoD proposes a 

unit level RTA on Tinian and a 

combined level RTA on Pagan. 

Purpose and Need: The purpose of the 

proposed action is to reduce joint 

training deficiencies for military 

services in the Western Pacific. Existing 

U.S. military live-fire, unit and 

combined level training ranges, training 

areas, and support facilities are 

insufficient to support U.S. Pacific 

Command Service Components’ training 

requirements in the Western Pacific, 

specifically in the Mariana Islands. The 

proposed action is needed to enable 

U.S. Pacific Command forces to meet 

their U.S. Code title 10 (Armed Forces) 

requirements to maintain, equip, and 

train combat and humanitarian forces in 

the Western Pacific. The proposed 

action assists in correcting these 

training deficiencies by establishing 

live-fire unit and combined level RTAs 

in the CNMI. Establishing unit and 

combined level RTAs in the CNMI 

would support ongoing operational 

requirements, changes to U.S. force 

structure, geographic repositioning of 

forces and U.S. training relationships 

with allied nations. 

Alternatives Considered: The Draft 

EIS/OEIS evaluates the potential 

environmental impacts of three action 

alternatives on Tinian, two action 

alternatives on Pagan, and the No 

Action Alternative. The No Action 

Alternative would continue existing 

non-live-fire training activities on 

Tinian and Pagan, and construction and 

use of four live fire training ranges on 

Tinian as identified in the 2010 Record 

of Decision for the Guam Relocation 

EIS. For the action alternatives, a 

combination of one Tinian unit level 

alternative and one Pagan combined 

level alternative is required to meet the 

purpose and need for addressing 

unfilled training requirements in the 

Western Pacific. All Tinian action 

alternatives include common elements 

for unit level land, sea, and training 

operations that consist of ranges, 

training beaches, High Hazard Impact 

Areas and associated targets, 

infrastructure and facility construction; 

utilization of all DoD-leased land; and 

minimal real estate interest outside the 

Military Lease Area. Tinian Alternative 

1 consists of a live-fire unit level RTA 

which includes a single Battle Area 

Complex and Convoy Course with some 

limitations on the range of weapons that 

can be employed due to the presence of 

the IBB facility. Tinian Alternative 2 

(Preferred Alternative) consists of two 

Battle Area Complexes and a Convoy 

Course with a greater number of 

engagement zones than Tinian 

Alternative 1. Under Alternative 2, the 

IBB facility is absent, thus allowing for 

full range of weapons employment. 

Tinian Alternative 3 provides a similar 

level of training capability as 

Alternative 1, but with a single Battle 

Area Complex in a different location, 

and the same Convoy Course and range 

of weapons employment as Tinian 

Alternative 2. Both Pagan action 

alternatives include elements for 

combined level land, sea, and air 

training operations; infrastructure 

construction to support expeditionary 

military training; require the acquisition 

of real estate interest in Pagan; and 

allow for maneuvering and live-fire 

engagement. Pagan Alternative 1 

consists of a live-fire combined level 

RTA to support proposed training and 

operations which includes two High 

Hazard Impact Areas, 11 landing zones, 

and 5 Mortar Range firing positions. 

Pagan Alternative 2 (Preferred 

Alternative) consists of a single, smaller 

High Hazard Impact Area, 13 landing 

zones, and 6 Mortar Firing Positions and 

provides greater ground maneuver 

flexibility as compared to Pagan 

Alternative 1. 

The Draft EIS/OEIS provides 

information on the affected environment 

and impacts of the proposed actions for 

16 distinct resource areas. Resources 

evaluated include geology and soils, 

water resources, air quality, noise, 

airspace, land and submerged land use, 

recreation, terrestrial biology, marine 

biology, cultural resources, visual 

resources, transportation, utilities, 

socioeconomics and environmental 

justice, hazardous materials and waste, 

and public health and safety. In 

accordance with section 7 of the 

Endangered Species Act, the DoD is 

consulting with the National Marine 

Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service on the 

potential impacts of training activities 

on federally listed species. In 

accordance with the Marine Mammal 

Protection Act and Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act, the DoD is consulting with NMFS 

on federally managed species and their 

essential fish habitat. 

Preferred Alternative: Based on the 

analysis presented in this Draft EIS/

OEIS, DoD has identified Tinian 

Alternative 2 and Pagan Alternative 2 as 

its preferred alternative. This 

combination of alternatives best fulfills 

DoD’s statutory mission and 

responsibilities, giving consideration to 

economic, environmental, technical, 

and other factors. DoD considered 

military requirements, infrastructure 

and environmental impacts and 

constraints, and scoping input from the 

public, resource agencies, and the CNMI 

Government during the process of 

identifying a preferred alternative. The 

combination of alternatives best meets 

the minimum U.S. Pacific Command 

Service Components’ unfilled unit level 

and combined level training 

requirements in the Western Pacific 

(size and layout), and maximizes the use 

of federal land on Tinian.
