DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Navy 

Notice of Intent To Prepare a 

Supplement to the Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement/Overseas 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

Military Readiness Activities in the 

Northwest Training and Testing Study 

Area 

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the Navy 

(DoN) announces its intent to prepare a 

Supplement to the Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement (DEIS)/Overseas 

Environmental Impact Statement (OEIS) 

for the Northwest Training and Testing 

(NWTT) Study Area. This Supplemental 

DEIS/OEIS will focus on substantial 

changes in the proposed action and 

significant new information relevant to 

environmental concerns per 40 Code of 

Federal Regulations CFR 1502.9. The 

Supplemental DEIS/OEIS will also 

provide additional updated information 

to further the purposes of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to section 102(2)(c) of the NEPA, 

regulations implemented by the Council 

on Environmental Quality (40 CFR parts 

1500–1508), and Presidential Executive 

Order 12114, the DoN announced its 

intent to prepare an EIS/OEIS for the 

NWTT Study Area in the Federal 

Register (FR) on February 27, 2012 (77 

FR 11497), and invited the public to 

comment on the scope of the EIS/OEIS. 

A Draft EIS/OEIS was subsequently 

released on January 24, 2014 (79 FR 

4158), in which the potential 

environmental effects associated with 

military readiness training and research, 

development, test, and evaluation 

activities (training and testing) 

conducted within the NWTT Study 

Area were evaluated. 

Since the release of the DEIS/OEIS on 

January 24, 2014, the DoN has 

determined that a Supplemental DEIS/ 

OEIS is warranted for two reasons. First, 

one activity, known as Tracking 

Exercises—Maritime Patrol (Extended 

Echo Ranging Sonobuoys), substantially 

changes the type and number of 

sonobuoys to be used. This change in 

the proposed action warrants 

preparation of a Supplemental DEIS/ 

OEIS under 40 CFR 1502.9(c)(1)(i). 

Second, new information relevant to air 

quality emissions of inland water vessel 

movements associated with Maritime 

Security Operations warrants further 

consideration and preparation of an 

Supplemental DEIS/OEIS under 40 CFR 

1502.9(c)(1)(ii). 

All public comments received during 

the DEIS/OEIS comment period (January 

24, 2014, through April 15, 2014) are 

still valid and are being considered in 

the Final EIS/OEIS for this action. 

Previously submitted comments need 

not be resubmitted. The Supplemental 

DEIS/OEIS is expected to be available in 

early December 2014. A Notice of 

Availability of the Supplemental DEIS/ 

OEIS will be published in the Federal 

Register at that time, and the 

Supplemental DEIS/OEIS will be 

released for a public comment period of 

45 days. No decision will be made to 

implement any alternative in the NWTT 

Study Area until the NEPA process is 

complete and a Record of Decision is 

signed by the DoN.

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s rules (18 CFR 157.9), 

within 90 days of this Notice, the
