Envirommental Assessment (EA) on

the Disposal and Reuse of the Defense

Distribution Depot, Memphis, TN

(DDMT)

AGENCY: Department of the Army.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: The proposed action

evaluated by this EA is the disposal of

the DDMT, in accordance with the

Defense Base Closure and Realignment

Act of 1990, Public Law 101–510, as

amended. The EA addresses the

environmental consequences of the

disposal and subsequent reuse of the

642 acres divided into two sections, the

main installation (574 acres) and Dunn

Field (68 acres). Three alternative

methods of disposal were analyzed:

Encumbered disposal, unencumbered

disposal and retention of the property in

caretaker status (i.e., no action

alternative). The Army’s preferred

alternative for disposal of the DDMT is

encumbered disposal which involves

conveying the property with conditions

imposed on historic resources, remedial

activities, utility easements, asbestoscontaining material and lead-based

paint.

The EA, which is incorporated into

the Finding of No Significant Impact

(FNSI), examines potential effects of the

proposed action and alternatives on 15

resources areas and areas of

environmental concern: land use,

climate, air quality, noise, geology, and

water resources infrastructure,

hazardous and toxic substances, permits

and regulatory authorizations, biological

resources and ecosystems, cultural

resources, economic development,

socioeconomics and quality of life.

The EA concludes that the disposal

and subsequent reuse of the property

will not have a significant impact on the

human environment. Issuance of an

FNSI would be appropriate. An

Environmental Impact Statement is not

required prior to implication of the

proposed actions.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before June 1, 1998.

ADDRESSES: A copy of the EA or

inquiries into the FNSI may be obtained

by writing to Mr. Jerry Jones at the

Crops of Engineers, Mobile District

(ATTN: CESAM–PD–EI), 109 St. Joseph

Street, P.O. Box 2288, Mobile, Alabama

Draft Environmental Impact Statement

(DEIS) on the Disposal and Reuse of

the Stratford Army Engine Plant

(SAEP), Stratford, CT

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DOD.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: The proposed action

evaluated by the DEIS is the disposal of

the Stratford Army Engine Plant (SAEP),

in accordance with the Defense Base

Closure and Realignment Act of 1990,

Public Law 101–510, as amended. The

DEIS addresses the environmental

impacts of the disposal and subsequent

reuse of SAEP land and facilities.

Alternatives examined in the DEIS

include encumbered disposal of the

property, unencumbered disposal of the

property and no action. Encumbered

disposal refers to transfer or conveyance

of property having restrictions on

subsequent use as a result of any Armyimposed or legal restraint. Under the no

action alternative, the Army would not

dispose of the property but would

maintain it in caretaker status for an

indefinite period. The Army’s preferred

alternative for disposal of the SAEP

property is encumbered disposal which

involves conveying the property with

conditions imposed on asbestoscontaining materials, easements,

groundwater use prohibition, historical

resources, lead-based paint, wetlands

and remedial activities to protect human

health regarding the transfer of land and

facilities.

The EIS also analyzes the potential

environmental effects of reuse by means

of evaluating intensity-based probable

reuse scenarios. Appropriate to the

SAEP are medium-low, low and

medium intensity reuse scenarios

reflecting the range of activities that

could occur after disposal of the

property.

DATES: Comments and suggestions

received within the 45 days of the

publication of the Environmental

Protection Agency’s Notice of

Availability for this action will be

addressed in the Final EIS.

SCOPING: The Army will hold a public

meeting for this Draft EIS. The location

and date of the meeting, to be scheduled

in May 1998, will be announced in the

local news media. Oral and written

comments may be presented at the

public meeting.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the Draft EIS are

available for review at the Stratford

Public Library, 2203 Main Street,

Stratford, Connecticut 06497. Copies

may be obtained by writing to Mr. Joe

Hand, at the Corps of Engineers, Mobile

District, ATTN: TD–EC, 109 St Joseph

Availability of Non-Exclusive,

Licensing of U.S. Patent Application

SN 09/035,910 Concerning Improved

Method for Purifying Cholera Toxin

AGENCY: U.S. Army Medical Research

and Materiel Command, DoD.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In accordance with 37 CFR

404.6, announcement is made of the

availability of U.S. Patent Application

SN 09/035,910 entitled ‘‘Improved
24166 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 84 / Friday, May 1, 1998 / Notices

Method for Purifying Cholera Toxin.’’

This patent has been assigned to the

United States Government as

represented by the Secretary of the

Army.

ADDRESSES: Commander, U.S. Army

Medical Research and Materiel

Command, Command Judge Advocate,

MCMR–JA, 504 Scott Street, Fort

Detrick, MD 21702–5012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mr. Charles Harris, Patent Attorney,

301–619–7807, Fax 301–619–5034.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A new

affinity purification method has been

developed that can be used to purify

cholera toxin (CT) and the B subunit of

CT. In addition to purifying the native

CT, it can be used to purify chemical

conjugates or genetically engineered

fusion proteins composed of CTB. This

purification procedure is highly

selective, since it can be used to purify

CT but not the closely related heat-labile

enterotoxin of Escherichia coli. This

procedure is extremely fast and simple

to perform, resulting in an extremely

pure preparation. The affinity matrix is

available commercially and can be used

repeatedly without loss of affinity or

resolution.

the meeting will consist of discussions

of information which pertain to the

conduct of various midshipmen at the

Naval Academy and internal Board of

Visitors matters. Discussion of such

information cannot be adequately

segregated from other topics, which

precludes opening the executive session

of this meeting to the public. In

accordance with 5 U.S.C. App. 2,

administrative process of preparing for

this meeting, the normal 15 days notice
