term Army planning. The SEIS will
evaluate land use changes in the
Tularosa Basin portions of McGregor
Range and the South Training Areas.
DATES: A Draft SEIS is scheduled for
publication on or about June 2006 and
a Final SEIS on or about December
2006.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be forwarded to: John F. Barrera, Attn:
SEIS; IMSW–BLS–Z; Fort Bliss, TX
79916–6812; or faxed to (915) 568–3548,
or e-mailed at seis@bliss.army.mil.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jean
Offutt, Fort Bliss Public Affairs Office;
ATZC–CGP; Fort Bliss, Texas, 79916–
6812; Tel: (915) 568–4505.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SEIS
will assess the environmental impacts
associated with Fort Bliss’ response to
Army Transformation initiatives and the
Army Campaign Plan. Potential impacts
or issues of Army Transformation at
Fort Bliss were analyzed by the
Department of the Army in the 2002
Programmatic EIS for Army
Transformation. Implementation of
these plans will results in changing land
use designations within the Main
Cantonment and Biggs Army Airfield,
and the lower Tularosa Basin (below
Otero Mesa) portions of McGregor Range
and the South Training Areas. These
changes would provide the capabilities
to train additional units and allow offroad maneuvers on the Tularosa Basin
portions of McGregor Range. Fort Bliss
will maintain current mobilization
missions and continue to support joint
training objectives.
Besides the No Action Alternative (no
change to land use designations and
continuance at the current level of
operations and activities), the proposed
action alternatives will:
(1) Include those activities described
in the No Action Alternative, plus
changes land use to allow Mission
Support Facilities in Training Area (TA)
1B, and off-road maneuver in TA 11, 25,
and 29 thru 32; and increased air
defense training on Otero Mesa;
(2) include actions of Alternative 1,
plus changes land use to also allow offroad maneuvers in TA 10, 11, 29 and
the Tularosa Basin portion of TA 12;
and
(3) include actions of Alternative 2,
plus changes land use to also allow offroad maneuvers and weapons firing in
TA 24, 26 and 27.
The SEIS will include evaluation of
each alternative’s varying personnel and
equipment requirements for range and
maneuver training; supporting
command, training and maintenance
facilities, soldier and family housing,
schools, infrastructure, utilities and

related facilities. The SEIS will also
analyze each alternative’s impact upon
the natural, cultural, and man-made
environments in the west Texas and
southern New Mexico region.
Tribes, Federal, state, and local
agencies and the public are invited to
participate in the scoping process for
the preparation of this SEIS. Scoping
meetings will be held in convenient
locations near the installation.
Notification of the times and locations
for the scoping meetings will be
published in local newspapers. The
scoping process will help identify
additional possible alternatives,
potential environmental impacts, and
key issues of concern to be analyzed in
the SEIS. To ensure scoping comments
are fully considered in the Draft EIS,
comments and suggestions should be
received within the 30-day scoping
period or no later than 15 days
following the last scoping meeting,
whichever ends last.

Army Federal Register Liaison Officer.
