for the Housing Privatization Phase II, 

Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii, and 

Bellows Air Force Station, Hawaii. The

convey and privatize 1,297 of the 

remaining 1,330 Government-owned

AFS. Privatization would exclude the 

25.75 acres of land and 33 historic

The decision was based on matters 

discussed in the Final Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS), inputs from the 

public and regulatory agencies, and 

other relevant factors. The Final EIS was 

made available on December 22, 2006 in

BILLING CODE 5001–05–P 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army 

Notice of Availability of a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement 

(DEIS) for Base Closure and 

Realignment (BRAC) Actions at Fort 

Belvoir, VA 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability (NOA). 

SUMMARY: The Department of the Army 

announces the availability of a DEIS 

which evaluates the potential 

environmental impacts associated with 

realignment actions directed by the Base 

Closure and Realignment (BRAC) 

Commission at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. 

DATES: The public comment period for 

the DEIS will end 60 days after 

publication of this NOA in the Federal 

Register by the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency. 

ADDRESSES: Please send written 

comments on the DEIS to ATTN: EIS 

Comments, Fort Belvoir Directorate of 

Public Works, 9430 Jackson Loop, Suite 

100, Fort Belvoir, Virginia, 22060–5116. 

E-mail comments may be sent to 

environmental@belvoir.army.mil. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Don Carr, Fort Belvoir Public Affairs 

Office, at (703) 805–2583, during normal 

business hours Monday through Friday. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

subject of the DEIS and the Proposed 

Action are the construction and 

renovation activities at Fort Belvoir 

associated with the BRAC-directed 

realignment of Fort Belvoir. The DEIS 

also updates the land use plan portion 

of the installation’s Real Property 

Master Plan due to the substantial 

changes at the installation due to the 

proposed realignment. 

To implement the BRAC 

recommendations, Fort Belvoir will be 

receiving personnel, equipment, and 

missions from various closure and 

realignment actions within the 

Department of Defense. To implement 

the BRAC Commission 

recommendations, the Army will 

provide the necessary facilities, 

buildings, and infrastructure to 

accommodate personnel being realigned 

from the Washington Headquarters 

Services (WHS); National GeospatialIntelligence Agency (NGA); various 

Army entities moving from leased space 

in the National Capital Region (NCR); 

U.S. Army Medical Command 

(MEDCOM); Program Executive Office, 

Enterprise Information System (PEO 

EIS); and Missile Defense Agency 

Headquarters Command Center (MDA 

HQCC). Details of the BRAC 

Commission’s recommendations can be 

found at http://www.brac.gov. 

Alternatives in the DEIS include four 

alternative land use plans that contain 

alternative means of accommodating the 

units, agencies and activities being 

realigned to Fort Belvoir. These 

alternatives include: (1) Town Center 

Alternative, (2) City Center Alternative, 

(3) Satellite Campuses Alternative, and 

(4) Preferred Alternative. The Preferred 

Alternative contains various elements of 

the other land use alternatives, and 

includes construction, renovation, and 

operation of proposed facilities to 

accommodate incoming military 

missions as mandated by the 2005 

BRAC Commission’s recommendations 

for Fort Belvoir. The No Action 

Alternative is also addressed in the 

DEIS. 

The DEIS analyses indicate that 

implementation of the preferred 

alternative will have short and longterm, significant adverse impacts on the 

transportation network at Fort Belvoir 

and its surrounding area, moderate to 

significant impacts on biological 

resources, and long-term minor adverse 

and beneficial impacts on 

socioeconomic resources. Minor short 

and long-term adverse impacts on all 

other resources at the installation would 

potentially occur from implementation 

of the preferred alternative. The no 

action alternative provides the baseline 

conditions for comparison to the 

preferred alternative. 

The Army invites the general public, 

local governments, other Federal 

agencies, and state agencies to submit 

written comments or suggestions 

concerning the alternatives and analyses 

addressed in the DEIS. The public and 

government agencies are invited to 

participate in a public meeting where 

oral and written comments and 

suggestions will be received. The date, 

time, and place of the public meeting 

will be announced through the local 

media.
