Notice of Availability (NOA). AGENCY: ACTION: SUMMARY: The Department of the Army announces the availability of a DEIS for the permanent stationing of the 2nd Brigade, 25th Infantry Division (2/25th) SBCT. Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Department of the Army has prepared this DEIS to disclose potential impacts to the natural, physical, and human environment resulting from the permanent stationing of the 2/25th SBCT. Potential impacts have been analyzed at installations which are capable of meeting the SBCTs training, operational, Soldier and Family quality of life, and strategic deployment requirements. DATES: Written comments on the DEIS will be accepted for 45 days following publication of a notice of availability in the Federal Register by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. ADDRESSES: Send all written comments and suggestions concerning this EIS to: Public Affairs Office, U.S. Army Environmental Command, Building E4460, Attention: IMAE–PA, 5179 Hoadley Road, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD 21010–5401. Comments PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 may also be sent via e-mail to PublicComments@aec.apgea.army.mil. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Public Affairs Office at (410) 436–2556; facsimile at (410) 436–1693 (during normal business hours Monday through Friday). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Proposed Action and analysis within the DEIS covers those activities required to implement the stationing of the 2/ 25th SBCT. These activities include garrison construction, training range construction, live-fire training, and maneuver training. In May 2004, the Army released the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for Transformation of the 2nd Brigade, 25th Infantry Division (Light) to the 2/25th SBCT. The SBCT is a maneuver brigade that includes approximately 4,000 Soldiers (infantry, artillery, engineers, and other Army specialties) and 1,000 vehicles (including about 320 Stryker Combat Vehicles). In July 2004, the Army released a Record of Decision (ROD) documenting its decision to transform the 2/25th from an Infantry brigade to an SBCT and permanently home station it in Hawaii. The Stryker is an armored infantry wheeled combat vehicle. The Stryker provides Soldiers and commanders with increased firepower, maneuverability, and, most importantly, survivability in a combat environment. The increased speed and maneuver capabilities of the SBCT allow it to conduct operations across much larger areas than the Army’s traditional legacy brigades. These capabilities have allowed the SBCT to successfully conduct a broad range of missions in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. To be effective when operationally deployed abroad requires that the SBCT have the proper training and support facilities at a home station. Such facilities include training ranges, maneuver land, housing, administrative, and quality of life infrastructure for the SBCTs Soldiers, their Families, vehicles and equipment. Without these resources, the SBCT cannot attain the readiness levels needed to ensure the successful accomplishment of its missions and safety of its Soldiers. In addition to these requirements, the SBCT must be stationed in a location from which it can rapidly deploy to support national security requirements. The 2/25th began its transformation to an SBCT shortly after completion of the 2004 FEIS and signing of the ROD. As of November 2006, the Brigade had completed a majority of its training and equipment fielding in Hawaii and is E:\FR\FM\20JYN1.SGM 20JYN1
