Environmental Impact Statement. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the Air 

Force is canceling the preparation of an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for the proposed Common Battlefield 

Airmen Training (CBAT) Program. The 

Air Force proposed implementing the 

CBAT Program at one of three Air Force 

installations: Moody Air Force Base 

(AFB), near Valdosta, GA; Barksdale 

AFB in Bossier City, LA; and Arnold 

AFB near Manchester, TN. 

The Air Force published two previous 

Federal Register notices on this 

proposal:

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army 

Notice of Availability (NOA) of the 

Supplemental Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement (SDEIS) for Military 

Training Activities at Makua Military 

Reservation (MMR), Hawaii 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The Army proposes to 

conduct live-fire military training 

exercises at MMR, Oahu, Hawaii, for 

units assigned to the 25th Infantry 

Division (25th ID) and for other military 

components. Other military components 

that have used MMR in the past include 

the Marine Corps, Army Reserves, and 

the Hawaii Army National Guard. The 

training proposed for MMR includes 

company-level, combined arms live-fire 

exercises and convoy live-fire training. 

The SDEIS addresses, among other 

things, the potential direct, indirect, and 

cumulative environmental impacts 

associated with the proposal to conduct 

military training activities at MMR. The 

Army has prepared the SDEIS pursuant 

to Section 102(2)(c) of the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA), the Council on Environmental 

Quality regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500– 

1 508), Environmental Analysis of Army 

Actions (32 CFR Part 651). 

DATES: The public comment period for 

the SDEIS will end 45 days after 

publication of the NOA in the Federal 

Register by the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency. 

ADDRESSES: Please send written 

comments on the SDEIS to: U.S. Army 

Garrison, Hawaii. ATTN: Public Affairs 

Office, 742 Santos Dumont, WAAF, 

Schofield Barracks, HI 96857. E-mail 

comments should be sent to: 

usaghipaomakuaEIS@hawaii.army.mil. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: U.S. 

Army Garrison, Hawaii, at (808) 656– 

3152; or by facsimile at (808) 656–3162. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This EIS 

was originally published as a draft in 

2005. The Army made several changes 

to the EIS in response to public 

comments including the evaluation of 

an additional training alternative at the 

Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA). The 

Army is republishing the EIS as a 

supplemental draft to seek public 

comment. 

The SDEIS analyzes four alternatives 

to accomplish the proposed training in 

the State of Hawaii: MMR Alternative 1 

(Reduced Capacity Use with Some 

Weapons Restrictions), MMR 

Alternative 2 (Full Capacity Use with 

Some Weapons Restrictions), MMR 

Alternative 3 (Full Capacity Use with 

Fewer Weapons Restrictions), and PTA 

Alternative 4 (Full Capacity Use with 

Fewer Weapons Restrictions). 

Alternative 3 is the Army’s Preferred 

Alternative. A No Action Alternative, 

under which no live fire military 

training would be conducted at MMR, 

was also evaluated. 

For all alternatives (with the 

exception of No Action), the range 

would be used for 242 training days per 

year. MMR Alternative 1 (Reduced 

Capacity Use) involves conducting up to 

28 company-level combined arms livefire exercises (CALFEXs) per year and 

100 convoy live-fire exercises per year. 

MMR Alternatives 2, 3, and 4 (Full 

Capacity Use) involve conducting up to 

50 company-level CALFEXs per year 

and 200 convoy live-fire exercises per 

year. Weapon systems used for all 

training alternatives would be similar to 

those used during past training at MMR. 

MMR Alternative 2 incorporates the use 

of small arms tracer ammunition. MMR 

Alternative 3 (Preferred Alternative) 

adds tracer ammunition; inert, tubelaunched, optically tracked, wire-guided 

(TOW) missiles; 2.75-inch rockets; and 

illumination munitions. PTA 

Alternative 4 would encompass training 

similar to that in Alternative 3. 

Some of the major potential impacts 

discussed in the SDEIS are associated 

with contamination of soil; surface 

water and groundwater quality; air 

quality; cultural sites; natural resources; 

endangered and threatened species; 

noise; recreational resources; wildfires; 

and the safety and transport of 

munitions through the Waianae 

community. The Army would phase in 

certain training activities and 

ammunition types as steps are taken to 

conserve endangered species. 

Copies of the SDEIS are available at 

the following libraries on the islands of 

Oahu and Hawaii: Hawaii State Library, 

478 South King Street, Honolulu; 

Wahiawa Public Library, 820 California 

Avenue, Wahiawa; Waianae Public 

Library, 85–625 Farrington Highway, 

Waianae; and the Pearl City Public

Public Library, 75–138 Hualalai Road, 

Kailua-Kona; Thelma Parker Memorial 

Public and School Library, 67–1209 

Mamalahoa Hwy. Kamuela. 

The Army invites the general public, 

local governments, other federal 

agencies, and state agencies to submit 

wriften comments or suggestions 

concerning the alternatives and analysis 

addressed in the SDEIS. An electronic 

version of the SDEIS is available for

locations, times and dates of the public 

meetings will be announced in advance 

through notices and media news 

releases. A Final EIS will be published 

following the close of the comment 

period on the SDEIS and incorporation 

of public comments.
