Protection Agency the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for 
the disposal and subsequent reuse of the Naval Air Warfare Center, 
Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Warminster, Pennsylvania. The DEIS 
addresses the environmental consequences of the proposed Community

ADDRESSES: The Department of the Navy will hold a public hearing to 
inform the public of the DEIS findings and to solicit comments. The

p.m., at the Warminster Township Building, Henry and Gibson Avenues, 
Warminster, Pennsylvania. Please call the point of contact below or the 
Township Building in the case of inclement weather.
    Federal, state and local agencies and interested parties are 
invited and urged to attend or be represented at the hearing. Oral 
statements will be heard and transcribed by a stenographer; however, to 
assure the accuracy of the record, all statements should be submitted 
in writing. All statements, both oral and written, will become part of 
the public record on this action and will be given equal consideration.
    Additional copies of the DEIS have been placed in the Warminster 
Library, 1076 Emma Lane, Warminster, Pennsylvania and the Bucks County 
Library, 150 South Pine Street, Doylestown, Pennsylvania.
    The previously published comment period has been extended to close

the address noted below and must be postmarked not later than February 
24, 1997 to be part of the official record. This public hearing and

on the property.
