DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

Notice of Availability of the Mobile 

Sensors Environmental Assessment 

and Draft Finding of No Significant 

Impact 

AGENCY: Missile Defense Agency, 

Department of Defense. 

ACTION: Notice of availability and 

request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Missile Defense Agency 

(MDA) has completed an environmental 

ASSESSMENT (EA) in accordance with 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) of 1969 and the Council on 

Environmental Quality regulations 

implementing NEPA, Department of 

Defense Instruction 4715.9, 

Environmental Planning and Analysis, 

and the applicable service regulations 

that implement these laws and 

regulations. Based on this analysis, 

MDA determined that the proposed 

activities would not result in a 

significant impact to the environment 

and prepared a Draft Finding of No 

Significant Impact (FONSI). Therefore, 

further NEPA analysis in the form of an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

is not required. 

DATES: The public review and comment 

period for this EA and draft FONSI 

begins with the publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register. All 

comments on this EA and draft FONSI 

must be received by the MDA no later 

than September 23, 2005. 

A downloadable electronic version of 

the EA and Draft FONSI are available on 

the MDA Internet site: http:// 

www.mda.mil/mdalink/html/ 

enviro.html. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments 

regarding the EA and Draft FONSI 

should be submitted to Mobile Sensors 

EA, c/o ICF Consulting, 9300 Lee 

Highway, Fairfax, VA 22031; via tollfree fax 1–877–851–5451; or via E-mail: 

Mobile-sensors-ea@ICFConsulting.com. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EA 

analyzes the potential environmental 

consequences of using mobile landbased sensors (i.e., radar, telemetry, 

command and control, and optical 

systems) and the use of airborne sensor 

systems (High Altitude Observatory 

[HALO] I and II, and Widebody 

Airborne Sensor Platform [WASP]). This 

EA considers impacts associated with 

the proposed use of land-based mobile 

sensors and airborne sensor systems on 

targets of opportunity.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

Nationwide TRICARE Demonstration 

Project 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary of 

Defense for Health/TRICARE 

Management Activity, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice extending deadline for 

Demonstration Project. 

SUMMARY: On November 5, 2001, the 

Department of Defense (DoD) published 

a notice of a Nationwide TRICARE 

Demonstration Project (66 FR 55928–

55930). On October 1, 2004, the 

Department of Defense (DoD) published 

a notice (69 FR 58895) to extend the 

Demonstration through October 31, 

2005. The Demonstration is also referred 

to as the Operation Noble Eagle/ 

Enduring Freedom Reservist and 

National Guard Benefits Demonstration. 

This notice is to advise interested 

parties of the continuation of the 

Demonstration in which the DoD 

Military Health System addresses 

unreasonable impediments to the 

continuity of healthcare encountered by 

certain family members of Reservists 

and National Guardsmen called to 

active duty in support of a federal/ 

contingency operation. The 

Demonstration scheduled to end on 

October 31, 2005, is now extended 

through October 31, 2007. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Office of the Assistance Secretary of 

Defense for Health Affairs, TRICARE 

Management Activity, TRICARE 

Operations Directorate at (703) 681–

0039. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Continuing levels of about 170,000 

Reserve Component members activated 

in support of Noble Eagle/Operation 

Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi 

Freedom in FY 2005 warrants the 

continuation of the Demonstration to 

support the healthcare needs and 

morale of family members of activated 

reservists and guardsmen. The National 

Defense Authorization Act of 2005 

amended existing statutes that will 

enable the Secretary of Defense to 

provide these benefits permanently by 

regulation. The Demonstration needs to 

be extended to provide sufficient time 

for the rule-making process to establish 

the new regulation. The impact if the 

Demonstration is not extended, before 

permanent regulation is promulgated, 

includes higher out-of-pocket costs and 

potential inability to continue to use the 

same provider for ongoing care. There 

are three separate components to the 

demonstration. First, those who 

participate in TRICARE Standard will 

not be responsible for paying the 

TRICARE Standard deductible. By law, 

the TRICARE Standard deductible for 

active duty dependents is $150 per 

individual, $300 per family ($50/$150 

for E–4’s and below). The second 

component extends TRICARE payments 

up to 115 percent of the TRICARE
