need for a Dietary Supplement Element 

Methodology Workshop. 

The purpose of this upcoming

unmet methods needs of stakeholders. 

The desired outcomes of this meeting

Background and Purpose 

Loran is a radionavigation system first 

developed during World War II and 

operated by the USCG. The current 

system (Loran–C) is a low frequency 

hyperbolic radionavigation system 

approved for use in the Coastal 

Confluence Zone (CCZ) and as a 

supplemental air navigation aid. 

Loran–C provides navigation, location, 

and timing services for both civil and 

military air, land, and marine users in 

the continental U.S. (CONUS) and 

Alaska. The USCG operates 18 CONUS 

Loran Stations, 6 Alaska Loran Stations, 

and 24 monitoring sites. 

The Draft PEIS on the Future of the 

Loran–C Program is a program-level 

document designed to provide the 

USCG with high-level analysis of the 

potential impacts on the human 

environment from the alternatives for 

the future of the Loran–C Program. The 

Draft PEIS evaluates the following five 

alternatives on the future of the USCG 

Loran–C Program: 

(1) No Action Alternative. The No 

Action Alternative refers to the current, 

existing conditions without 

implementation of the Proposed Action. 

(2) Decommission the USCG Loran–C 

Program and Terminate the North 

American Loran–C Signal. 

(3) Automate, Secure, and Unstaff 

Loran–C Stations. 

(4) Automate, Secure, Unstaff, and 

Transfer Management of the Loran–C 

Program to Another Government 

Agency. 

(5) Automate, Secure, Unstaff, and 

Transfer Management of the Loran–C 

Program to Another Government 

Agency to Deploy an eLoran system. 

The preferred alternatives include 

Automate, Secure, Unstaff, and Transfer 

Management of the Loran–C Program to 

Another Government Agency; or 

Automate, Secure, Unstaff, and Transfer 

Management of the Loran–C Program to 

Another Government Agency to Deploy 

an eLoran system. It is important to note 

that this draft PEIS does not obligate the 

Coast Guard, DHS, or any other entity to 

undertake any specific course of action 

with respect to Loran. 

We are requesting your comments on 

the environmental concerns that you 

may have related to the Draft PEIS. This 

includes suggested analyses and 

methodologies for use in the Draft PEIS 

or possible sources of data for 

information not included in the Draft 

PEIS. Your comments will be 

considered in preparing the final PEIS.
