DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Department of the Navy

Notice of Intent To Prepare an

Environmental Impact Statement for

the Proposed West Coast Introduction

of the F/A–18 E/F Aircraft

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 announces

its intent to prepare an Environmental

Impact Statement (EIS) to evaluate the

environmental impacts of the West

Coast introduction of F/A–18 E/F

aircraft, associated functional and

administrative components, and

associated military personnel. Naval Air

Station (NAS) Lemoore, Naval Air

Weapons Station (NAWS) Pt. Mugu, and

Naval Air Facility (NAF) El Centro,

California are proposed as potential

basing locations.

This process involves retiring older

aircraft from active use and

incorporating the new F/A–18 E/F into

service. The new aircraft will continue

to support operations of the U.S. Pacific

Fleet.

Major environmental issues addressed

in the EIS will include, but are not

limited to, air space, operational

training capability, socioeconomic and

environmental justice impacts, air

quality, noise, endangered species,

cultural resources, traffic, local

infrastructure impacts, and cumulative

impacts.

ADDRESSES: The Navy will initiate a

scoping process for the purpose of

determining the scope of issues to be

addressed and for identifying the

significant issues related to this action.

The Navy will hold public scoping

meetings on Monday, April 28, 1997 at

7 p.m. at the Lemoore High School

Cafeteria, 101 East Bush Street,

Lemoore, California; on Tuesday, April

29, 1997 at 7 p.m. at the Imperial

County Board of Supervisors Office, 940

West Main Street, El Centro, California;

and on Wednesday, April 30, 1997 at 7

p.m. in the Bougainvillea Room, Orchid

Professional Building, 816 Camarillo

Springs Road, Camarillo, California. A

brief presentation will precede a request

for public comments. Navy

representatives will be available at this

meeting to receive comments from the

public regarding information on issues

of concern. It is important that federal,

state, and local agencies and interested

individuals take this opportunity to

provide information or identify

environmental concerns that should be

addressed during the preparation of the

EIS. In the interest of available time,

each speaker will be asked to limit oral

comments to five minutes.

Agencies and the public are also

invited and encouraged to provide

written comments in addition to, or in

lieu of, oral comments at the public

meeting. To be most helpful, scoping

comments should clearly describe

specific issues or topics which the

commenter believes the EIS should

address.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Written statements and/or questions

regarding the scoping process should be

mailed to: Commanding Officer,

Engineering Field Activity West, Naval

Facilities Engineering Command, 900

FGT filed revised Tariff sheets in

Docket, No. RP97–230–000 (January 16

proposed an effective date of April 1,

1997 to coincide with FGT’s

implementation of the Gas Industry

Standards Board’s (GISB) standards on

that date. FGT explained that it would

not be able to meet the GISB timeline

requirement of communicating

scheduled volumes by 4:30 p.m. if

written nominations were not received

by FGT until 11:45 a.m.

Subsequent to the January 16 Filing,

to address certain issues raised by

parties to this proceeding, FGT

proposed to expand the definition of the

emergency circumstances which would

permit the submission of written

nominations, and to institute a three

month transition period during which

shippers could continue to submit

written nominations as long as the

written nominations were received by

FGT no later than 10:30 a.m.

FGT states that in the March 13 Order,

the Commission accepted FGT’s

proposed changes subject to the

outcome of the proceedings in Docket

No. RP97–21 (FGT’s GISB Compliance

Docket) and subject to the FGT

submitting revised tariff sheets

reflecting the three month transition

period and the expanded provisions

regarding the emergency circumstances

under which written nominations

would still be permitted. The instant

filing is in compliance with the March

13 Order.

Any person desiring to protest said

filing should file a protest with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC

20426, in accordance with Section

385.211 of the Commission’s Rules and

Regulations. All such protests should be

appropriate action to be taken, but will

not serve to make protestants parties to

the proceeding. Copies of this filing are

available for public inspection in the

Public Reference Room.
