DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

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) has prepared and filed with the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency a 

Supplement to the Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement/Overseas 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS/

OEIS) for the Northwest Training and 

Testing (NWTT) Study Area. This 

Supplement to the Draft EIS/OEIS 

focuses on substantial changes in the 

Proposed Action and new information 

relevant to environmental concerns per 

40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 

1502.9. The Supplement to the Draft 

EIS/OEIS also provides additional 

updated information to further the 

purposes of the National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA). Unless specifically 

included in the Supplement to the Draft 

EIS/OEIS, the activities and analyses of 

impacts on resources described in the 

Draft EIS/OEIS remain valid, and are 

included by reference in the 

Supplement to the Draft EIS/OEIS. 

With the filing of the Supplement to 

the Draft EIS/OEIS, the DoN is initiating 

a 45-day public comment period and 

has scheduled four public meetings to 

provide information and receive 

comments on the Supplement to the 

Draft EIS/OEIS. This notice announces 

the dates and locations of the public 

meetings and provides supplementary 

information about the environmental 

planning effort. 

DATES AND ADDRESSES: The 45-day 

public review and comment period for 

the Supplement to the Draft EIS/OEIS is 

December 19, 2014, through February 2, 

2015. The DoN will hold four public 

meetings to inform the public about the 

Supplement to the Draft EIS/OEIS and 

potential environmental impacts, and to 

provide an additional opportunity for 

the public to comment on the 

Supplement to the Draft EIS/OEIS. The 

public meetings will include an open 

house information session, during 

which time NWTT EIS/OEIS team 

representatives will be available to 

provide information, answer questions, 

and accept comments on the 

Supplement to the Draft EIS/OEIS. The 

public can arrive any time during the 

advertised hours; the open house will 

not include a formal presentation or 

verbal comment session. Federal, state, 

local agencies and officials, and 

interested organizations and individuals 

are encouraged to provide comments in 

writing during the public review period 

or in person at one of the scheduled 

public meetings.

Northwest, Attention: Ms. Kimberly 

Kler—NWTT EIS/OEIS Project Manager, 

1101 Tautog Circle, Suite 203, 

Silverdale, WA 98315–1101. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to section 102(2)(c) of 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 NWTT Draft 

EIS/OEIS on January 24, 2014, the DoN 

determined that updated training 

requirements or new information would 

result in changes to the Proposed Action 

or analysis, and warranted the 

preparation of a Supplement to the Draft 

EIS/OEIS for two reasons. First, the type 

and number of sonobuoys used during 

one activity, known as Tracking 

Exercise—Maritime Patrol (Extended 

Echo Ranging Sonobuoys), would 

substantially change. This change in the 

Proposed Action warranted preparation 

of a Supplement to the Draft EIS/OEIS 

under 40 CFR 1502.9(c)(1)(i). Second, 

new information available on air 

emissions from inland water vessel 

movements associated with the ongoing 

activity of Maritime Security Operations 

warranted further consideration and 

preparation of a Supplement to the Draft 

EIS/OEIS under 40 CFR 1502.9(c)(1)(ii). 

A Notice of Intent announcing the 

DoN’s intent to prepare a Supplement to 

the NWTT Draft EIS/OEIS was released 

on October 24, 2014 (79 FR 63610). The 

National Marine Fisheries Service and 

the U.S. Coast Guard are cooperating 

agencies on the EIS/OEIS. 

The Supplement to the Draft EIS/OEIS 

was distributed to federal, state, and 

local agencies, elected officials, and 

other interested organizations and 

individuals. Copies of the Supplement 

to the Draft EIS/OEIS are available for
