beyond those currently in place or in

coordination at VAFB and CCAS. No

significant new circumstances or

information relevant to environmental

concerns associated with the launch

vehicle have been identified which

would affect the earlier findings. As

specific spacecraft and missions are

fully defined, they will be reviewed in

light of the NMP PEA. If NASA

determines that future payloads have

the potential for substantially different

environmental impacts, further NEPA

reviews will be conducted and

documented, as appropriate.

On the basis of the NMP PEA, NASA

has determined that the environmental

impacts associated with the NMP and

the specified missions identified as

within the scope of the PEA would not

individually or cumulatively have a

significant impact on the quality of the

human environment. NASA will take no

final action prior to the expiration of the

30-day comment period.
