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.

ACTION: Notice of Intent. 

SUMMARY: The National Guard Bureau 

(NGB) is issuing this notice to advise the 

public of their intent to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for the Main Operating Base 2 (MOB–2) 

for the beddown of KC–46A tanker 

aircraft. The EIS will assess the 

potential environmental consequences 

of various alternatives of bedding down 

KC–46A tanker aircraft, associated 

infrastructure, and personnel in support 

of the MOB–2 at existing Air National 

Guard (ANG) installations within the 

continental United States. 

The MOB–2 squadron would consist 

of 12 KC–46A that would replace an 

existing fleet of KC–135R aircraft. The 

KC–46A would continue supporting the 

mission of providing worldwide 

refueling, cargo, and aeromedical 

evacuation support. The proposed 

basing alternatives for MOB–2 include: 

• 190 Air Refueling Wing (ARW), 

Forbes Air Guard Station (AGS), 

Kansas 

• 108 Wing, Joint Base McGuire-DixLakehurst, New Jersey 

• 157 ARW, Pease AGS, New 

Hampshire 

• 171 ARW, Pittsburgh AGS, 

Pennsylvania 

• 121 ARW, Rickenbacker AGS, Ohio 

Scoping: To effectively define the full 

range of issues and concerns to be 

evaluated in the EIS, the NGB is 

soliciting scoping comments from 

interested local, state, and federal 

agencies and interested members of the 

public. The NGB will hold a series of 

scoping meetings to inform the public as 

well as to solicit comments and 

concerns about the proposal. Scoping 

meetings will be held in the local 

communities near the alternative 

installations. The scheduled dates, 

times, locations, and addresses for the 

meetings will also be published in local 

newspapers a minimum of 15 days prior 

to the scoping meeting at each location. 

DATES: The NGB intends to hold scoping 

meetings from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in 

the following communities on the 

following dates: 

• Tuesday, June 4, Plumsted Fire 

District #1 Fire Station, 59 Main St., 

New Egypt, New Jersey. 

• Tuesday, June 4, Township of Moon 

Municipal Building, 1000 Beaver Grade 

Rd., Moon Township, Pennsylvania.

International Airport Terminal, 7161 

Second St., Columbus, Ohio. 

• Thursday, June 20, Museum of the

Topeka Blvd., Topeka, Kansas. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

project Web site provides more 

information on the Environmental 

Impact Analysis Process and can also be 

used to submit scoping comments. 

Scoping comments may also be 

submitted by mail to the address listed 

below. To ensure the NGB has sufficient 

time to consider public comments in 

preparation of the Draft EIS, scoping 

comments must be submitted no later 

than June 10, 2013.
