DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army 

Record of Decision (ROD) for Fort 

Bliss Army Growth and Force 

Structure Realignment 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the Army 

announces the availability of a ROD that 

documents and summarizes the 

implementation of the preferred 

alternative described in the Fort Bliss 

Army Growth and Force Structure 

Realignment Final Environmental 

Impact Statement (hereinafter referred 

to as the FEIS). The preferred alternative 

consists of actions in three different 

categories (stationing/training, land use 

changes, and training infrastructure 

improvements) of interrelated 

alternatives. 

The following actions will be 

implemented as elements of the 

preferred alternative: The stationing of 

two Infantry Brigade Combat Teams 

(IBCTs), up to two Stryker Brigade 

Combat Teams (SBCTs), and various 

support units to Fort Bliss (Stationing 

Action Alternative 4); land use changes 

that allow fixed site bivouac areas, 

mission support facilities, live-fire 

ranges and off-road vehicle grounds in 

new locations in the vicinity of the 

Sacramento Mountains and areas of 

McGregor Range (Land Use Alternative 

5); and training infrastructure 

improvements, including construction 

of new ranges to support the stationing 

of IBCTs and SBCTs, expansion of 

existing range camps, construction of 16 

Contingency Operating Locations 

(COLs), and construction of a rail line 

connecting the Fort Bliss Cantonment to 

the Fort Bliss Training Complex 

(Training Infrastructure Alternative 4). 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the ROD are 

available from Mr. John F. Barrera, 

IMWE–BLS–PWE, Building 624, Taylor 

Road, Fort Bliss, TX 79916–6812; email: bliss.eis@conus.army.mil. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Jean Offutt, Public Affairs Officer, 

IMWE–BLS–PA; Fort Bliss, TX 79916–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ROD 

supports Army expansion, future 

stationing actions, and land use changes 

and training infrastructure 

improvements. These changes take 

advantage of Fort Bliss’s varied terrain 

and full suite of training ranges which 

will allow collocation of heavy, light, 

and aviation combat units and support 

units. 

Land use analysis focused primarily 

on the McGregor Range’s northeast 

terrain, with minor changes in the 

southeast and Tularosa Basin portions 

to support light infantry training. None 

of the land use changes involve the Culp 

Canyon Wilderness Study Area or the 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES

52734 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 166 / Friday, August 27, 2010 / Notices 

Black Grama Grassland Area of Critical 

Environmental Concern. 

Construction of additional firing 

ranges and the expansion or 

construction of administrative and 

training support facilities were also 

analyzed. 

The effects of implementing the ROD 

alternatives included substantial erosion 

to interior range roads, requiring 

increased maintenance. Frequent 

overseas deployments will require an 

increase in training, which may reduce 

public and Native American access to 

some areas of the installation. Use of 

restricted airspace for military training 

will increase, making military 

scheduling of the airspace more 

complex. Training-related noise remains 

significant in areas adjacent to Dona 

Ana Range and portions of McGregor 

Range. The Army has identified 

measures in the FEIS to mitigate most of 

the significant environmental effects. 

The preferred alternatives may result in 

a small increase in the economic benefit 

provided by growth of the installation, 

and a small decrease in certain quality 

of life indicators (e.g., traffic, air 

quality).

environmental documents are available

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 2060.04, 

OMB Control No. 2040–0257. 

ICR Status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on August 31, 2010. 

An Agency may not conduct or sponsor,

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. The OMB control numbers for 

EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the CFR, 

after appearing in the Federal Register 

when approved, are listed in 40 CFR 

Part 9, and displayed either by 

publication in the Federal Register or

Abstract: The section 316(b) Phase II 

Existing Facility rule requires the 

collection of information from existing 

point source facilities that generate and 

transmit electric power (as a primary 

activity) or generate electric power but 

sell it to another entity for transmission, 

use a cooling water intake structure 

(CWIS) that uses at least 25 percent of 

the water it withdraws from waters of 

the U.S. for cooling purposes, and have 

a design intake flow of 50 million 

gallons per day (MGD) or more. Section 

316(b) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) 

requires that any standard established 

under section 301 or 306 of the CWA 

and applicable to a point source must 

require that the location, design, 

construction and capacity of CWISs at 

that facility reflect the best technology 

available (BTA) for minimizing adverse 

environmental impact. Such impact 

occurs as a result of impingement 

(where fish and other aquatic life are 

trapped on technologies at the entrance
