DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

United States Air Force 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

Modification of the Condor 1 and 

Condor 2 Military Operations Areas 

Used by the 104th Fighter Wing of the 

Massachusetts Air National Guard 

AGENCY: Air National Guard, 

Department of Defense. 

ACTION: Notice of intent (NOI) to prepare 

an environmental impact statement. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) of 1969, as amended (42 United 

States Code [U.S.C.] 4321–4347), the 

Council on Environmental Quality 

(CEQ) NEPA Regulations (40 Code of 

Federal Regulations [CFR] parts 1500– 

1508), and the United States Air Force’s 

(USAF) Environmental Impact Analysis 

Process (EIAP, 32 CFR part 989), the Air 

Force is issuing this notice to advise the 

public and other Federal agencies that 

the ANG intends to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for proposed modifications of the 

Condor 1 and Condor 2 Military 

Operations Areas (MOAs) used by the 

104th Fighter Wing (FW) of the 

Massachusetts ANG (MAANG). The 

104th FW is based at Barnes ANG Base 

in Westfield, Massachusetts. The study 

area for this EIS includes portions of 

Piscataquis, Somerset, Franklin, and 

Oxford counties in Maine and a portion 

of Coos County, New Hampshire. 

The ANG and Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) completed an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) of this 

proposal in June 2008. However, in 

response to requests from elected 

officials and the general public, the 

ANG has elected to prepare an EIS. The 

ANG conducted five previous scoping 

meetings in the towns of Rumford, 

Mexico, Rangeley, and Farmington (2), 

Maine as part of the EA process; the 

previous scoping meetings are sufficient 

and follow-on scoping meetings are not 

deemed necessary. However, the Air 

Force requests formal written scoping 

comments from the public, state and 

local government agencies, as well as 

affected Federal agencies for 30 days 

after the publication date of this NOI, to 

ascertain if there are additional issues 

relevant to the range of actions, 

alternatives, and impacts to be 

examined in detail in the draft EIS. 

The Condor 1 and 2 MOAs are 

centered approximately 200 nautical 

miles northeast of Barnes ANG Base. 

The altitudes of both MOAs currently 

extend from 7,000 feet above mean sea 

level (MSL) (between approximately 

2,800 feet and 6,300 feet above ground 

level [AGL]) up to 18,000 ft MSL. 

Condor 1 MOA is located immediately 

west of Condor 2 MOA. The Condor 1 

and 2 MOAs are currently utilized by 

aircraft from the MAANG, the Vermont 

ANG, the United States Air Force, and 

the United States Navy. Units from 

these services utilize a variety of aircraft 

including the F–15, F–16, KC–10, KC– 

135, and P–3. Of these aircraft, F–15 and 

F–16 operations currently constitute 86– 

88% of annual operations in the Condor 

1 and 2 MOAs. 

The Ready Aircrew Program (RAP) is 

the United States Air Force’s 

continuation training program designed 

to focus training or develop capabilities 

needed to accomplish a unit’s core 

missions. The RAP requirements for 

every qualified F–15 and F–16 pilot 

include Low Altitude Awareness 

Training (LOWAT) which includes 

realistic, mission oriented air-to-air 

operations while in a LOWAT-certified 

low-altitude block at or below 1,000 feet 

AGL, as well as Low Slow/Visual 

Identification intercept and Slow 

Shadow intercept training missions. 

These training missions require pilots to 

identify and engage aerial targets at low 

altitude, and perform low altitude 

navigation, tactical formation, and 

defensive maneuvering to avoid or 

negate threats.

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 115 / Wednesday, June 17, 2009 / Notices 28673 

In order to be Combat Mission Ready, 

all F–15 and F–16 pilots are required to 

demonstrate proficiency in these skills 

down to 500 feet AGL, over land, on a 

regular basis. Pilot operational training 

standards require missions to be 

accomplished in the low, medium, and 

high altitude regimes. As currently 

defined, the floors of Condor 1 and 2 

MOAs are too high to allow for the 

effective and efficient completion of 

required training. The purpose of the 

Proposed Action is to rectify these 

deficiencies and provide the 104th FW 

with adequate training airspace in a safe 

training environment to fulfill its 

mission. 

The 104th FW proposes to combine 

the Condor 1 and 2 MOAs, divide the 

combined MOA into Condor Low MOA 

and Condor High MOA, and lower the 

flight floor of the proposed Condor Low 

MOA from 7,000 feet MSL to 500 feet 

AGL. Condor Low MOA would extend 

from 500 feet AGL up to, but not 

include, 7,000 feet MSL. Condor High 

MOA would extend from 7,000 feet 

MSL up to, but not include, 18,000 

MSL. As part of the EIAP, and in 

accordance with the requirements of 

NEPA, the EIS will consider potential 

alternatives to the Proposed Action. 

Other alternatives to be considered 

include lowering the floor of Condor 1 

MOA and leaving Condor 2 MOA 

unchanged, completing low-altitude 

training in other airspace in the 

Northeast, deploying to conduct lowaltitude training, and no action. 

The draft EIS will be made available 

for a 45-day public review and comment 

period. The Air Force will sponsor a 

public hearing on the draft EIS in midAugust 2009 at the Civic Center in 

Augusta, Maine. Notification of hearing 

time and related logistics will be made 

via local public notifications. 

No additional meetings are planned at 

this time. In addition to comments 

received at the public hearing, any 

written comments on the draft EIS 

received at the address below by 

October 1, 2009, will be considered in 

the preparation of this EIS.

Notice of Proposed Information 

Collection Requests 

AGENCY: Department of Education. 

SUMMARY: The Director, Information

17, 2009. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires 

that the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) provide interested 

Federal agencies and the public an early 

opportunity to comment on information 

collection requests. OMB may amend or 

waive the requirement for public 

consultation to the extent that public 

participation in the approval process 

would defeat the purpose of the 

information collection, violate State or 

Federal law, or substantially interfere 

with any agency’s ability to perform its 

statutory obligations. The Director, 

Information Collection Clearance 

Division, Regulatory Information 

Management Services, Office of 

Management, publishes that notice 

containing proposed information 

collection requests prior to submission 

of these requests to OMB. Each 

proposed information collection, 

grouped by office, contains the 

following: (1) Type of review requested, 

e.g. new, revision, extension, existing or 

reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of 

the collection; (4) Description of the 

need for, and proposed use of, the 

information; (5) Respondents and 

frequency of collection; and (6) 

Reporting and/or Recordkeeping 

burden. OMB invites public comment. 

The Department of Education is 

especially interested in public comment 

addressing the following issues: (1) Is 

this collection necessary to the proper 

functions of the Department; (2) will 

this information be processed and used 

in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate 

of burden accurate; (4) how might the 

Department enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (5) how might the 

Department minimize the burden of this 

collection on the respondents, including 

through the use of information 

technology.

Type of Review: New Collection. 

Title: Beginning Teacher Longitudinal 

Study (BTLS) 2009–2012.

Abstract: The New Teacher 

Longitudinal Survey will follow a 

sample of public school teachers who 

were in their first year of teaching in 

2007–08. These teachers were first 

interviewed as part of the 2007–08 

Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) and 

were also part of the 2008–09 Teacher 

Follow-up Survey. They will be 

contacted again in 2010 as part of a 

second follow-up. Following this small 

subset of the SASS sample for at least 

a decade will provide much needed data 

on teachers’ careers, attrition, and 

mobility.
