Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for 
Beddown of Training F-35A Aircraft

AGENCY: Air Education and Training Command and Air National Guard, 
United States Air Force.

ACTION: Revised Notice of Intent.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The United States Air Force published a Notice of Intent to 
prepare an EIS in the Federal Register (Vol. 74, No. 247, page 68597) 
on Dec 28, 2009. Due to severe weather in New Mexico, some of the 
scoping meetings were cancelled. In the Air Force's effort to make 
every attempt to allow the public an opportunity for providing their 
input, we have re-scheduled the scoping meetings to be held in Ruidoso 
and Ft. Sumner, NM. Furthermore, due to public interest and comments, 
The Air Force has decided to add three additional scoping meetings in 
New Mexico and Arizona for the Holloman AFB and Tucson International 
Airport Air Guard Station alternatives. This revised Notice of Intent 
is prepared to notify the public of the rescheduling and additional 
scoping meetings to be held in New Mexico and Arizona. Also, due to 
these additional scoping meetings the public comment period is extended 
to May 17, 2010.

DATES: The Air Force intends to hold scoping meetings in the following 
communities:
    Tucson International Airport Air Guard Station: Tuesday, March 30, 
2010, at Buena High School Cafeteria, 5225 Buena School Road, Sierra 
Vista, Arizona; Holloman Air Force Base: Tuesday, April 13, 2010, at 
Best Western Stevens Inn, 1829 South Canal Street, Carlsbad, New 
Mexico; Wednesday, April 14, 2010 at La Quinta Inn and Suites, 200 E 
19th Street, Roswell, New Mexico; Thursday, April 15, 2010 at De Baca 
County Courthouse Annex, 248 East Avenue C, Fort Sumner, New Mexico; 
Friday, April 16, 2010 at Best Western Pine Springs Inn, 1420 E Highway 
70, Ruidoso, New Mexico.
    The scheduled dates, times, locations and addresses for the 
meetings will be published in local media a minimum of 15 days prior to 
the scoping meetings. All meetings will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 
p.m. Comments will be accepted at any time during the environmental 
impact analysis process. However, to ensure the Air Force has 
sufficient time to consider public input in the preparation of the 
Draft EIS, comments should be submitted to the address below by May 17, 
2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David Martin, HQ AETC/A7CPP, 266 F 
Street West, Randolph AFB, TX 78150-4319, telephone 210/652-1961.
