SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Army 

prepared this PEA in accordance with: 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

of 1969 (NEPA) (title 42, section 4321, 

U.S. Code); Council on Environmental 

Quality (CEQ) NEPA regulations (title 

40, parts 1500 through 1508, Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR)); and the 

Army regulation implementing NEPA, 

32 CFR part 651. 

The purpose of the Proposed Action 

is to support the Joint Force (i.e., all U.S. 

military services)—plus our allies—in 

the rapid and continuous integration of 

all domains of warfare: land, sea, air, 

space, and cyberspace. The Army 

proposes to station MDTFs at Army 

garrisons and joint bases so the MDTFs 

can quickly deploy to any theater of 

operations where they are needed. 

The PEA and the draft FONSI 

evaluated the following installations: 

Fort Bliss, Texas; Fort Bragg, North 

Carolina; Fort Campbell, Kentucky; Fort 

Carson, Colorado; Fort Drum, New York; 

Fort Hood, Texas; Fort Knox, Kentucky; 

Fort Riley, Kansas; Fort Stewart, 

Georgia; Joint Base Lewis-McChord 

(JBLM), Washington; Joint Base 

Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska; U.S. 

Army Garrison (USAG)-Hawai1i 

(Schofield Barracks and Helemano 

Military Reservation); and Fort 

Wainwright, Alaska. 

The PEA examined two MDTF 

alternatives: the full MDTF, which 

consists of approximately 3,000 

soldiers; and the base MDTF, which 

consists of headquarters elements and 

approximately 400 soldiers. The PEA 

looks at only the base MDTF for 

Garrison (USAG)-Hawai1i. 

The Army initiated temporary MDTF 

pilot projects at JBLM and at USAGHawai‘i. The Army established a 

temporary, full MDTF configuration at 

JBLM and a temporary, base MDTF 

configuration at USAG-Hawai1i. 

Although the Army developed MDTF 

personnel and facility requirements, 

MDTF weapon system training doctrine 

is under development and is therefore 

unavailable at this time. The PEA did 

not analyze any MDTF training 

activities. When the Army finalizes its 

MDTF weapon system training doctrine, 

the Army will compare these doctrinal 

requirements against other, existing, 

ongoing training requirements to 

determine if a specific installation must 

conduct additional environmental 

analysis before the installation receives 

an MDTF. 

The PEA and the input received 

during the public comment period will 

provide decision-makers with the 

information necessary to evaluate the 

potential environmental and 

socioeconomic impacts associated with 

the Proposed Action. 

The PEA analyzed the direct, indirect, 

and cumulative impacts of the two 

Proposed Action Alternatives and the 

No-Action Alternative on the following 

nine resource areas: air quality; 

biological resources; cultural resources; 

soils; land use; socioeconomics; traffic 

and transportation; infrastructure and 

utilities; and water resources. The PEA 

concluded the impacts at all assessed 

installations would be either less than 

significant or significant but mitigable. 

Impacts will be minimized through 

avoidance of sensitive resources and 

through implementation of 

environmental protection measures. 

When planning how to execute an 

MDTF stationing decision, installations 

will complete a PEA checklist to 

determine what type of additional, sitespecific NEPA analysis—if any—is 

required. If an installation determines 

the stationing of a particular MDTF will 

require additional NEPA analysis (i.e., 

analysis ‘‘tiered’’ from the PEA), the 

installation is required to complete the 

appropriate NEPA analysis before 

making any irreversible or irretrievable 

commitments related to the stationing 

action. 

Members of the general public, 

federally recognized Native American 

Tribes, Native Alaskan Entities, or 

Native Hawaiian Organizations, and 

federal, state, and local agencies are 

invited to submit written comments 

regarding the PEA and/or the draft 

FONSI. The PEA and the draft FONSI

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments regarding a proposed 

extension of an approved information 

collection requirement. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, DoD

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of DoD, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

the accuracy of the estimate of the 

burden of the proposed information 

collection; ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and ways to minimize the 

burden of the information collection on 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) has approved this information 

collection for use through September 30, 

2022. DoD proposes that OMB extend its 

approval for use for three additional 

years beyond the current expiration

Approximately 1.16 seconds. 

Annual Burden Hours: 6,358. 

Needs and Uses: DoD uses advance 

shipment notices for the shipment of 

material containing Radio Frequency 

Identification (RFID) tag data. DoD 

receiving personnel use the advance 

shipment notice to associate the unique 

identification encoded on the RFID tag 

with the corresponding shipment. Use 

of the RFID technology permits DoD an 

automated and sophisticated end-to-end 

supply chain that has increased 

visibility of assets and permits delivery 

of supplies to the warfighter more 

quickly. 

The clause at DFARS 252.211–7006, 

Passive Radio Frequency Identification, 

requires the contractor to ensure that the 

data on each passive RFID tag are 

unique and conform to the requirements 

that they are readable and affixed to the 

appropriate location on the specific 

level of packaging in accordance with 

MIL–STD–129 tag placement 

specifications. The contractor encodes 

an approved RFID tag using the 

appropriate instructions at the time of 

contract award. Regardless of the 

selected encoding scheme, the 

contractor is responsible for ensuring 

that each tag contains a globally unique 

identifier. The contractor electronically 

submits advance shipment notices with 

the RFID tag identification in advance of
