DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Department of the Air Force
Supplemental Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement for the Implementation of the Base Closure and Realignment
(BRAC) 2005 Decisions and Related Actions at Eglin Air Force Base
(AFB), FL
AGENCY: Department of the Air Force.
ACTION: Supplemental Notice of Intent (NOI).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This supplemental NOI is being issued pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended (42 United States
Code 4321, et seq.), the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations
for implementing procedural provisions of NEPA (40 Code of Federal
Regulation (CFR) parts 1500-1508), and Air Force policy and procedures
(32 CFR part 989). This supplemental NOI is issued to advise the public
that the Air Force intends to further publicly scope information
necessary to complete preparation of an EIS for the proposed BRAC
activities at Eglin AFB, FL.
This supplements the initial NOI which appeared in the Federal
Register July 28, 2006 [Federal Register: July 28, 2006 (Volume 71,
Number 145), page 42838-42839].
In the year since the initial NOI was published and initial scoping
meetings were held, the Air Force has developed additional information
that bears on the proposal and its impacts. The Air Force will present
this additional information to the public and solicit comments. Public
input is important to determining the scope of issues to be addressed
and for identifying significant issues that were not known when the
initial NOI was published.
The supplemental scoping meetings will be held in a ``Town Hall''
format allowing interested parties to review information and related
materials. Oral and written comments presented at the public meetings,
as well as written comments received by the Air Force throughout the
EIS process, will be considered and made a part of the administrative
record.
All the information and comments gathered in response to the
initial NOI remain in the record, and there is no need to repeat
information submitted at that time.
DATES: The BRAC scoping update meetings will be held as follows:
November 6, 2007, 6:30-9:30 p.m.; Comfort Inn Conference Center,
8700 Navarre Parkway, Navarre, FL 32566, and November 7, 2007, 6:30-
9:30 p.m.; Niceville High School, 800 E. John Sims Parkway, Niceville,
FL 32578.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Please direct any written comments or
requests for information to Mr. Michael Spaits, Public Affairs, 96 CEV-
PA, Eglin AFB, FL 32542-5000 (PH: 850-882-2878;
mike.spaits@eglin.af.mil).

Air Force Federal Register Liaison Officer.
