BILLING CODE 5001–06–C 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

(FEIS) for the Renewal of the Special 

Use Permit (SUP) for Military Activities 

on the De Soto National Forest and 

Implementation of Installation Mission 

Support Activities at Camp Shelby, MS 

AGENCY: National Guard Bureau (NGB), 

Department of the Army, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability. 

SUMMARY: This FEIS has been prepared 

by the NGB and the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture—Forest Service (USDA–FS). 

NGB is the lead agency and the USDA–

FS is serving as a cooperating agency in 

the development of this FEIS for the 

renewal of the current SUP that 

authorizes military training activities at 

Camp shelby Training Site. 

DATES: The waiting period for the FEIS 

will end 30 days after publication of an 

NOA in the Federal Register by the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments or 

questions regarding the FEIS may be 

forwarded to Mr. Tim Powell, Public 

Affairs Officer, Joint Forces 

Headquarters, Mississippi National 

Guard, P.O. Box 5027, Jackson, 

Mississippi, 39296–5027. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Tim Powell, Public Affairs Officer, at 

(601) 313–6349. The alternate point of 

contact for this action is Major Robert A. 

Lemire, Mississippi Army National 

Guard, Director Environmental 

Programs at (601) 313–6228. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This FEIS 

discusses in-depth two alternatives: the 

Preferred Alternative and the No-Action 

Alternative. Under the Preferred 

Alternative, the Mississippi National 

Guard (MSNG) proposes the renewal of 

the USDA–FS SUP for a 20-year 

timeframe and authorizes current 

activities and mission requirements to 

continue on State of Mississippi, DoD, 

and National Forest lands. This 

alternative will help meet the Army 

requirements associated with the 

Proposed Action by constructing 

various new ranges and facilities at 

Camp Shelby and allowing for the 

continuation of necessary maintenance, 

repair, and rehabilitation of the 

infrastructure at Camp Shelby. The No 

Action Alternative would authorize the 

renewal of the SUP for a 10-year 

timeframe (same as previous SUP) and 

military activities would continue as 

currently permitted. this alternative 

would not authorize the proposed 

construction of new ranges and facilities 

and improvements and improved 

management practices. Other 

alternatives considered but eliminated 

from detailed study are also addressed 

in the FEIS. the potential for significant 

impacts exists for both alternatives; 

however with the implementation of the 

ongoing and proposed mitigation and 

monitoring measures, the unavoidable 

adverse impacts can be mitigated to an 

acceptable level. Under the preferred 

alternative, current activities and 

mission requirements will continue on 

State of Mississippi, DoD, and National 

Forest lands. This alternative includes 

implementation of the projects and 

programs discussed in this FEIS, in 

addition to the continuation of 

necessary maintenance, repair, and 

rehabilitation of the military training 

infrastructure at Camp Shelby. 

Environmental consequences for the 

proposed actions; e.g. renewal of the 

SUP, and construction, operation, and 

maintenance of several new projects at 

Camp Shelby have been analyzed. The 

new project proposals have the potential 

for the following adverse impacts: 

(1) Direct and/or indirect effects on 

habitat for other proposed, endangered, 

threatened, and sensitive species such 

as Louisiana quillwort (federal 

endangered species), black pine snake 

(federal candidate species), and other 

state and USDA–FS sensitive plant 

species. There would be direct positive 

effects on the red-cockaded woodpecker 

when colonies are relocated into the 

proposed Habitat Management Area at 

sometime in the future. 

(3) Direct and/or indirect effects on 

approximately 275 acres of wetlands
