The Proposed Action (Preferred Alternative) is to continue preparations for and to implement the Constellation Program. The focus of the Constellation Program is the development of the flight systems and Earth-based ground infrastructure required to enable the United States to have continued access to space and to enable future human missions to the International Space Station, the Moon, Mars, and beyond. The Constellation Program also would be responsible for developing and testing flight hardware, and performing mission operations once the infrastructure is sufficiently developed. The only alternative to the Proposed Action discussed in detail is the No Action Alternative where NASA would not continue preparations for nor implement the Constellation Program and therefore, would forego the opportunity for human exploration of space using U.S. space vehicles. DATES: NASA will issue a Record of Decision (ROD) for the proposed Constellation Program based on the Final PEIS no sooner than February 18, 2008, or 30 days from the date of publication in the Federal Register of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s notice of availability of the Final PEIS, whichever is later. ADDRESSES: The Final PEIS may be examined at the following locations: (a) NASA Headquarters, Library, Room 1J20, 300 E Street, SW., Washington, DC 20546–0001 (202–358– 0168) (b) NASA, Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA 94035 (650–604–3273) (c) NASA, Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, CA 93523 (661–276– 2704) (d) NASA, George C.

Limited hard copies of the Final PEIS are available, on a first request basis, by contacting Kathleen Callister, NASA HQ, Environmental Management Division, 300E Street, SW., Washington, DC 20546, telephone 1–202–358–1953, or electronic mail at Kathleen.E.Callister@nasa.gov. The Final PEIS also is available on the internet in Adobe portable document format at https://www.nasa.gov/ mission_pages/constellation/main/ peis.html. NASA’s ROD will be made available, once issued, on the same Web site as above and by request to the contact information provided above. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: ZA/ Environmental Manager, Constellation Program, NASA Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, 2101 NASA Parkway, Houston, Texas 77058, telephone (toll free) 1–866–662–7243, or electronic mail at nasa-cxeis@mail.nasa.gov. Additional Constellation Program information can also be found on the internet at https://www.nasa.gov/ mission_pages/constellation/main/ index.html. Information specific to the Constellation Program NEPA process can be found at https://www.nasa.gov/ mission_pages/exploration/main/ eis.html. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final PEIS addresses the environmental impacts associated with continuing preparations for and implementing the Constellation Program. The Constellation Program would build a new crew vehicle called the Orion and two new launch vehicles, Ares I to transport crew and Ares V to transport cargo (for lunar or Mars missions). The environmental impacts of principal concern are those that would result from fabrication, testing, and launch of the Orion spacecraft and the Ares I and Ares V launch vehicles. The Constellation Program would be an extremely large and complex program spanning decades and requiring the efforts of a broad spectrum of talent located throughout NASA and many commercial entities. Under NASA’s Proposed Action, Constellation Program activities would be expected to occur at the following NASA sites: —John F. Kennedy Space Center, Brevard County, Florida —John C. Stennis Space Center, Hancock County, Mississippi —Michoud Assembly Facility, New Orleans, Louisiana —Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas —George C. Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama E:\FR\FM\23JAN1.SGM 23JAN1
