Summary of Information Collection

This information is needed to support

the information collection requirements

of Public Law 102–484 which

established the Temporary Early

Retirement Authority (TERA). TERA is

a DoD force reduction tool. It authorizes

Service members who are short of their

20 year retirement to accumulate credit

by finding employment with local

governments and non-profit

organizations. The DD Form 2676

‘‘Validation of Public or Community

Service Employment’’ was developed as

part of a systematic employment

reporting mechanism. Employers certify

public or community service

employment and retired members

submit the employment validation form,

DD Form 2676 to the Defense Manpower

Data Center for processing.

Department of the Air Force

Notice of Intent To Prepare an

Environmental Assessment for the

Disposal and Reuse of Ontario Air

National Guard Station, Ontario, CA

The United States Air Force (Air

Force) is issuing this notice to advise

the public that the Air Force intends to

prepare an Environmental Assessment

(EA) to assess the potential

environmental impacts of disposal and

reuse of Ontario Air National Guard

Station (ANGS), Ontario, California.

The EA will address the potential

environmental impact of disposal of the

property to public or private entities, as

well as the potential environmental

impact of all reasonable reuse

alternatives.

To provide a forum for public officials

and the community to provide

information and comments, a scoping

meeting will be held in Ontario,

California, on May 2, 1996, and the

scoping period will extend to 31 May

1996. Notice of the time and location of

this meeting will be provided at a later

date, and publicized in the community.

The purpose of this meeting is to help

identify issues that need to be assessed

and discussed in the EA. During this

meeting, the Air Force will discuss the

proposal to dispose of Ontario ANGS,

describe the process involved in

preparing an EA, and ask for help in

identifying alternative uses for Ontario

ANGS and any significant

environmental impacts that may result

from its disposal by the Air Force. In

soliciting disposal and reuse

alternatives, the Air Force will consider

all reasonable alternatives offered by

any federal, state, or local government

agency, and any federally-sponsored or

private entity or individual.

To ensure sufficient time to

adequately consider public comments

concerning environmental issues and

disposal and reuse alternatives to be

included in the EA, the Air Force

recommends that comments and reuse

proposals be presented at the upcoming

scoping meeting or forwarded to the

address listed below at the earliest

possible date. The Air Force will,

however, accept additional comments at

any time during the environmental

impact analysis process.

Please direct written comments or

requests for further information

concerning the Ontario ANGS disposal

and reuse EA to: Mr. George Gauger,

AFCEE/ECM, 3207 North Road, Brooks

AFB, TX 78235–5363, 210/536–6545 or

210/536–3839.

Defense Logistics Agency

Finding of No Significant Impact for

the Defense Logistics Agency Early

Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC)

Action

AGENCY: Defense Logistics Agency

(DLA), Department of Defense.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Defense Logistics Agency

(DLA) prepared a programmatic

environmental assessment pursuant to

the Council on Environmental Quality

Regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500–1508)

for implementing the procedural

provisions of the National

Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C.

4321 et seq.) which evaluated the

potential environmental and

socioeconomic effects associated with

realigning designated missions and

personnel to enduring DLA activities

pursuant to recommendations by the

BRAC Commission and related

discretionary action plans. The

environmental assessment resulted in a

finding of no significant environmental

or socioeconomic impact.

EFFECTIVE: April 30, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Captain F.G. Leeder, USN, Staff

Director, Public Affairs, Defense

Logistics Agency, 8725 John J. Kingman

Road, Suite 2533, Attn: CAAV, Ft.

Belvoir, VA 22060–6220, (703) 767–

6200.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

summary, the DLA proposed action,

identified as the preferred alternative, is

to:

• Disestablish the Defense Contract

Management District (DCMD) South

located in Marietta, GA, and redistribute

its mission workload to the two

enduring DCMDs, DCMD East in Boston,

MA, and DCMD West in El Segundo,

CA.

• Relocate the Defense Contract

Management Command International
19054 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 84 / Tuesday, April 30, 1996 / Notices

from Gentile Air Force Base, Dayton,

OH, to the DLA complex at Fort Belvoir,

VA.

• Relocate the Defense Distribution

Depot missions that remain after the

disestablishment of the depots at

Charleston, SC; Oakland, CA; Pensacola,

FL; and Tooele, UT, to the following

receiving Defense Distribution Depots:

Jacksonville, FL; San Joaquin, CA; San

Diego, CA; Red River, TX; Norfolk, VA;

Sesquehanna, PA; Barstow, CA; Puget

Sound, WA; Cherry Point, NC, and

Military services depot/supply activities

at the Navy Trident Refit Facility, Kings

Bay, GA; Naval Aviation Depot, North

Island, San Diego, CA; and Sierra Army

Depot, Herlong, CA, using existing

facilities and materiel storage and

procession capacity.

• Close the Defense Clothing Factory,

Philadelphia, PA, and reassign the flag

manufacturing mission, consisting of 21

personnel, to the Defense Personnel

Support Center, already located on the

same site.

• Disestablish the Defense Fuel

Support Point, Escanaba, MI, and return

the facility to the U.S. Air Force for

disposal.

• Close 13 Defense Reutilization and

Marketing Offices (DRMOs) located on

closing military installations and

relocate residual missions to the

enduring DRMOs. Dispose of surplus

and hazardous property by reutilization,

transfer, donation, sale, or ultimate

disposal (disposal service contract) prior

to the DRMO relocation or

disestablishment.

The only alternatives considered were

the proposed action, which was the

preferred alternative, and the no action

alternative. No other alternatives were

considered reasonable because of their

inability to satisfy BRAC Commission

directives or DLA mission requirements.

Any other alternative would entail

extensive renovation of existing

facilities, leasing of off-base facilities,

and/or construction of new facilities.

Additionally, customer support would

be diminished and costs to conduct

business would be substantially

increased.

The environmental assessment

showed that implementing the proposed

action would result in only minimal or

no environmental or socioeconomic

impact. A small but positive would be

realized through a net reduction in

DLA’s consumption of natural

resources, thereby lessening negative

environmental effects associated with

routine support of Armed Forces

activities. Analysis of the consequences

of the proposed action at the program

level does not indicate the need for

mitigation measures. Accordingly, an

Environmental Impact Statement will

not be prepared.

A public comment period regarding

the environmental assessment will

begin at the time of publication of this

notice and will conclude 30 days

following. Copies of the environmental

assessment are available for inspection

at the address listed above. Interested

parties may contact the DLA Public

Affairs Office at (703) 767–6200.

1. Enpak Power (Private) Company

[Docket No. EG96–59–000]

On April 18, 1996, Enpak Power

(Private) Company (‘‘Enpak’’), with its

principal office at Nasr Chambers, Block

19, Markaz F–7, Islamabad, Pakistan,

filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission an application for

the Commission’s Regulations.

Enpak states that it is a private

unlimited liability company organized

under the laws of the Islamic Republic

of Pakistan. Enpak will be engaged

directly and exclusively in owning an

approximately 782 MW fuel oil-fired

electric generating facility located in the

Province of Punjab, Pakistan. Electric

energy produced by the facility will be

sold at wholesale to the Water and

Power Development Authority, a

Pakistan statutory entity that is the

largest electric power supplier in the

Province of Punjab. Enpak may, in the

future, sell electricity at retail in a

foreign country, although no such sales

are presently contemplated. In no event

will any electric energy be sold to

consumers in the United States.

Comment date: May 14, 1996, in

accordance with Standard Paragraph E

at the end of this notice. The

Commission will limit its consideration
