Office of the Secretary

Defense Science Board Task Force on

Image-Based Automatic Target

Recognition; Notice of Advisory

Committee Meetings

SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board

Task Force on Image-Based Automatic

Target Recognition will meet in closed

session on July 10–12, 1996 at Science

Applications International Corporation,

McLean, Virginia.

The mission of the Defense Science

Board is to advise the Secretary of

Defense through the Under Secretary of

Defense for Acquisition and Technology

on scientific and technical matters as

they affect the perceived needs of the

Department of Defense. At this meeting

the Task Force will assess the ability of

automatic/aided target recognition

technology and systems to support

important military missions, principally

in the near- and mid-term. The Task

Force should concentrate on those

technologies and systems that use

imagery (EO, IR or radar) as their

primary input medium.

In accordance with Section 10(d) of

the Federal Advisory Committee Act,

Public Law 92–463, as amended (5

U.S.C. App. II (1996)), it has been

determined that this DSB Task Force

Department of the Air Force

Record of Decision (ROD) for the

Disposal and Reuse of Gentile Air

Force Station (AFS), Ohio

On April 12, 1995, the Air Force

signed the ROD for the Disposal of

Gentile AFS. The decisions included in

this ROD have been made in

consideration of, but not limited to, the

information contained in the Final

Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS)

filed with the Environmental Protection

Agency on January 19, 1996.

Gentile AFS will close on December

31, 1996, pursuant to the Defense

Authorization Amendments and Base

Closure and Realignment Act (BCRA),

Public Law 100–526, and

recommendations of the Defense

Secretary’s Commission on Base

Realignment and Closure. This ROD

documents the Gentile AFS disposal

decisions.

The decision conveyed by the ROD is

to dispose of Gentile AFS in a manner

that enables development of light

manufacturing, a business complex and

recreational facilities. This allows for

the central theme of the proposed future

land use plans discussed in the FEIS to

be fully implemented. The

environmental findings and mitigation

measures contained in the initial ROD

remain fully applicable.

Consistent with the community reuse

plan, the ROD balances business and

industrial with a recreational park.

One disposal method, an Economic

Development Conveyance (EDC) to the

City of Kettering, the Local

Redevelopment Authority (LRA),

includes all parcels involved in the

ROD. The installation, consisting of a

total of 164 acres, which includes the

16-acre parcel for Defense Finance and

Accounting Services (DFAS) and all

Government-owned utilities and

roadways, will be conveyed to the LRA

according to a mutually agreeable

schedule being developed based on

environmental condition and

remediation, community reuse plans

and base closure. In addition, new

legislation was incorporated into the

ROD to lease-back the parcel for DFAS

for a long-term lease at no cost to the

Government.

The implementation of the closure

and reuse action and associated

mitigation measures will proceed with

minimal adverse impact to the

environment. This action conforms with

applicable Federal, State and local

statues and regulations and all

reasonable and practical efforts have

been incorporated to minimize harm to

the local public and environment.

Any questions regarding this matter

should be directed to Ms. Teresa R.

Pohlman, Program Manager, Division D.

Correspondence should be sent to:

AFBCA/DD, 1700 North Moore Street,

Suite 2300, Arlington, VA 22209–2809.

BILLING CODE 3910–01–M

Notice of Intent To Prepare a

Legislative Environmental Impact

Statement for Nellis Air Force Range

(NAFR) Renewal, Nevada

The United States Air Force (Air

Force) will prepare a legislative

environmental impact statement (LEIS)

to assess the potential environmental

impacts of renewal of the Nellis Air

Force Range (NAFR), Nevada. The LEIS
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 105 / Thursday, May 30, 1996 / Notices 27055

will be prepared in accordance with the

National Environmental Policy Act

(NEPA).

The current land withdrawal and

reservation of the NAFR was established

by the Military Lands Withdrawal Act of

1986 (Pub. L. 99–606) for the period

ending on November 6, 2001. The Act

provides that the Air Force may seek

renewal of the NAFR withdrawal, in

connection with which the Secretary of

the Air Force will publish a legislative

EIS addressing legislative alternatives

and the effects of continued withdrawal.

The purpose of the proposed NAFR

renewal is to retain a military training

and testing range essential to near- and

long-term preparedness of United States

air forces. Renewing the land

withdrawal will provide for the

continued effective implementation of

ongoing training and testing missions

while maintaining the flexibility to

adapt to the training needs of new

technologies as they develop. The

performance of air operations in combat

is directly related to the quality and

depth of training. NAFR provides a

combination of attributes that serve this

training requirement, including the

following: favorable location and flying

weather; sufficient land and airspace;

diverse terrain; and developed training

support facilities.

A range of alternatives, including the

No Action alternative required by

NEPA, will be considered. Three

alternatives are described below.

• Proposed Action: Renew Nellis Air

Force Range withdrawal and reservation

for an indefinite period of time with

Congressional review every 15 years.

The existing land withdrawal and

reservation, consisting of approximately

3.0 million acres, would be reauthorized

for an indefinite period of time. The

land would be reserved by Congress for

use by the Air Force for an armament

and high-hazard test area; training for

aerial gunnery, rocketry, electronic

warfare, and tactical maneuvering and

air support; and other defense-related

purposes. Every 15 years Congress

would review the Air Force’s continuing

military need for the land, the

environmental effects, and the needs of

competing uses for the land and could

adjust, if warranted, the terms and

conditions of the withdrawal. Without

limiting the priority use by the Air

Force, the land would be managed in

part by the Bureau of Land Management

and in part by the U.S. Fish and

Wildlife Service. Specifically, the

Bureau of Land Management would

manage approximately 2.2 million acres

of the NAFR pursuant to the Federal

Land Policy and Management Act of

1976 and other applicable laws. The

remaining 826,000 acres of the NAFR

are within the Desert National Wildlife

Refuge and would be managed by the

Fish and Wildlife Service pursuant to

the National Wildlife Refuge System Act

of 1976.

• Alternative A: Renew the existing

NAFR land withdrawal and reservation

for 25 years. The existing land

withdrawal and reservation, consisting

of approximately 3.0 million acres,

would be reauthorized for a specified

term of 25 years, rather than for an

indefinite time with periodic reviews.

Otherwise, this alternative is like the

Proposed Action.

• No Action Alternative: No renewal

of the NAFR land withdrawal and

reservation. The land would not be

reserved for use by the Air Force. The

lands within the existing NAFR

boundary would be managed by the

Bureau of Land Management and the

Fish and Wildlife Service under existing

authorities. The No Action alternative

would result in the fragmentation or

cancellation of training missions

accomplished at the NAFR. DOD would

prepare appropriate environmental

documentation to obtain Federal

Aviation Administration approval to

reclassify the existing restricted airspace

to a Military Operation Area (MOA).

This would allow for air-to-air training

operations to continue, but would

preclude air-to-ground training

missions.

To provide a forum for interested

parties to provide comments on the

scope of the LEIS, a series of scoping

meetings will be held in six Nevada

communities. In addition, written

comments will be accepted throughout

the scoping period. Written comments

should be forwarded to the address

below by August 5, 1996. Scoping

meetings will be held at the following

times and locations.

1. Indian Springs, NV, June 17, 1996,

6:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

2. Caliente, NV, June 18, 1996, 6:00

PM to 9:00 PM.

3. Las Vegas, NV, June 20, 1996, 6:00

PM to 9:00 PM.

4. Beatty, NV, June 24, 1996, 6:00 PM

to 9:00 PM.

5. Tonopah, NV, June 25, 1996, 6:00

PM to 9:00 PM.

6. Reno, NV, June 26, 1996, 6:00 PM

to 9:00 PM.

Please direct written comments

concerning the NAFR Renewal LEIS to:

Colonel Michael F. Fuquy, Nellis Air

Force Base, P.O. Box 9919, Las Vegas,

NV 89191–0919.
