Notice of Intent to Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Air Education and Training

Department of the Air Force,

ACTION: Notice of intent.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (NEPA, 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 preparing an EIS to consider the
proposed action of establishing the
CBAT program. This NOI describes the

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 219 / Tuesday, November 14, 2006 / Notices
Air Force’s proposed alternatives,
scoping process, and identifies the Air
Force’s point of contact. As part of the
proposal, the Air Force will analyze
potential environmental impacts
associated with the proposed
development of administrative,
instructional, and living areas (referred
to as the CBAT Campus) for CBAT
students and instructors, as well as
utilization of areas for ground training
operations.
Purpose: The purpose of this action is
for AETC to establish a CBAT course in
order to further expand ground combat
skills and give all Airmen a baseline or
common skill set. The course would be
implemented in three Phases, beginning
with Phase I, which would train
approximately 1,353 Airmen. Phase II
would add 6,365 students, and Phase III
provides training for an additional 6,692
Airmen. Full implementation of CBAT
would result in training approximately
14,410 Airmen annually in combat
small arms firing, basics of land
navigation, small unit tactics, and
combative skills, along with a daily
physical training regimen. The average
daily number of personnel that would
be present for CBAT at full
implementation (to include instructors,
base support, and students) would be
approximately 2,600. CBAT would be
held year-round, with each course
lasting 25 days, 10 hours per day,
Monday through Friday. Throughout the
initial implementation of each phase,
personnel, facilities and infrastructure,
and field training areas would be added
to the selected installation. The end of
Phase III would include a total of 166
new buildings at 124,192 square meters
added to the installation. Additionally,
by Phase III, approximately 9,000 acres
(approximately 36.5 square km) of land
would be required for CBAT field
training in standardized basic small unit
tactics, such as how to react to an
enemy ambush (which would include
the use of blank-fire ammunition and
simulated munitions) and practical day
and night land navigation training.
Alternatives: The Air Force used a
multi-disciplined team (e.g., trainers,
civil engineers, environmental
engineers, and attorneys) to develop
criteria for choosing where the CBAT
course would be located. Applying the
selection criteria in stages narrowed the
alternatives first to 64 and later to just
3 Air Force installations located within
the Continental United States. Those 3
installations are Arnold Air Force Base
(AFB) in Tennessee, Barksdale AFB in
Louisiana, and Moody AFB in Georgia.
These three bases and the no action
alternative are the alternatives that will
be evaluated in the EIS. There is
VerDate Aug<31>2005
19:07 Nov 13, 2006
Jkt 211001
sufficient area on Arnold AFB and
Barksdale AFB to support the campus
and field training areas. There is
insufficient land available to support
the field training requirements on
Moody AFB, so selection of Moody
would necessitate acquiring additional
land by purchase or lease. The no action
alternative will evaluate current
conditions and trends, projected into
the future, for comparative purposes.
Scoping: In order to effectively define
the full range of issues to be evaluated
in the EIS, the Air Force will determine
the scope of the document (i.e., what
will be covered, and in what detail) by
soliciting scoping comments from
interested state and Federal agencies
and the interested public via this
Federal Register and notices in the local
areas of concern. Comments should be
forwarded to the address below, by the
date indicated. The Air Force will also
hold a series of scoping meetings to
further solicit input concerning the
scope of the proposed action and
alternatives.
The scheduled dates, times,
locations, and addresses for the scoping
meetings are as follows:
1. December 5, 2006—Tuesday, 6–8
pm; Tullahoma, TN; Coffee County
Administrative Plaza, Community
Room, 1329 MacArthur Street,
Manchester, TN.
2. December 7, 2006—Thursday, 6–8
pm; Valdosta, GA; Valdosta City Hall
Annex 300 N. Lee St., Valdosta, GA.
3. December 12, 2006—Tuesday, 6–8
pm; Shreveport, LA; Holiday Inn, 2015
Old Minden Road, Bossier City, LA.
No additional scoping meetings are
scheduled at this time. In addition to
comments received at the scoping
meetings, any written comments on the
scope of the EIS received at the address
below by December 16, 2006, will be
considered in the preparation of this
EIS. All comments received through the
scoping process will be evaluated and
adjudicated to identify which issues are
in fact significant and which ones are
not. Issues that are determined to be less
important will be addressed in the EIS
by a brief discussion of why they were
not examined in depth.

Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement for
Homeporting Additional Surface Ships
at Naval Station Mayport, FL, and To
Announce a Public Scoping Meeting
Department of the Navy, DoD.
Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section
(102)(2)(C) of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, as implemented by the Council on
Environmental Quality Regulations (40
CFR Parts 1500–1508), the Department
of Navy (Navy) announces its intent to
prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) to evaluate the potential
environmental consequences of
constructing and operating the facilities
and infrastructure associated with
homeporting additional surface ships at
Naval Station (NAVSTA) Mayport, FL.
The Navy proposes to review and assess
homeporting additional Atlantic Fleet
surface ships at NAVSTA Mayport
including cruisers, destroyers, frigates,
amphibious assault ships, amphibious
transport docks, dock landing ships,
and/or a nuclear-powered aircraft
carrier. Ultimately the homeporting
could involve the relocation of existing
ships to NAVSTA Mayport or the
assignment of newly acquired ships to
NAVSTA Mayport. The proposal
includes only those required activities
necessary to prepare and operate
NAVSTA Mayport for the proposed
homeporting and does not include
actions at other Navy bases. The EIS
study area is NAVSTA Mayport, the
Mayport turning basin, the entrance
channel, and a portion of the main
shipping channel. NAVSTA Mayport
covers 3,409 acres and is homeport for
22 ships, five helicopter squadrons, and
approximately 16,010 sailors and
civilians making it the third largest
naval facility in the continental U.S.
The scope of actions to be analyzed in
this EIS includes homeporting of
various classes of surface ships and
construction to include dredging,
infrastructure and wharf improvements,
and construction of nuclear-powered
aircraft carrier propulsion plant
maintenance facilities (depot-level
maintenance facilities including a
controlled industrial facility, ship
maintenance facility, and maintenance
support facility).
Dates and Addresses: One public
scoping meeting will be held in
Jacksonville, FL, to receive written
comments on environmental concerns

(USAF) Environmental Impact Analysis Process (EIAP, 32 CFR Part 989),
the Air Force is preparing an EIS to consider the proposed action of
establishing the CBAT program. This NOI describes the
[[Page 66314]]
Air Force's proposed alternatives, scoping process, and identifies the
Air Force's point of contact. As part of the proposal, the Air Force
will analyze potential environmental impacts associated with the

approximately 1,353 Airmen. Phase II would add 6,365 students, and
Phase III provides training for an additional 6,692 Airmen. Full
implementation of CBAT would result in training approximately 14,410
Airmen annually in combat small arms firing, basics of land navigation,
small unit tactics, and combative skills, along with a daily physical

develop criteria for choosing where the CBAT course would be located.
Applying the selection criteria in stages narrowed the alternatives
first to 64 and later to just 3 Air Force installations located within
the Continental United States. Those 3 installations are Arnold Air
Force Base (AFB) in Tennessee, Barksdale AFB in Louisiana, and Moody
AFB in Georgia. These three bases and the no action alternative are the
alternatives that will be evaluated in the EIS. There is sufficient
area on Arnold AFB and Barksdale AFB to support the campus and field
training areas. There is insufficient land available to support the
field training requirements on Moody AFB, so selection of Moody would
necessitate acquiring additional land by purchase or lease. The no
action alternative will evaluate current conditions and trends,
projected into the future, for comparative purposes.
