SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
proposed EIS/OEIS analyzes potential
environmental effects of Navy training
activities that will take place in and
around the Gulf of Alaska and those
aircraft events that originate in the
maritime exercise area (MEA) and
extend over established inland Alaska
military operating areas. Navy training
activities primarily take place in, or
originate from, the MEA. The MEA
provides approximately 42,000 nm2
(144,056 km2) of air and surface/
subsurface ocean operating area and
overlying airspace.
The MEA is a polygon that is oriented
from northwest to southeast,
approximately 300 nm in length by 150
nm in width, situated south of Prince
William Sound and east of Kodiak
Island, Alaska. The EIS/OEIS study area
includes Gulf of Alaska ocean area
within approximately 200 km from the
MEA and the waters within this
boundary up to the coastline. Military
operations also occur over established
land-based Military Operating Areas
maintained by the Air Force in Alaska.
These Alaska training areas are used
to conduct Navy training, including
participating in large-scale Joint training
exercises such as the annual Northern
Edge exercise, involving military
hardware, personnel, tactics, munitions,
explosives, and electronic combat.
Alaska is an ideal location to support
naval and joint operational readiness by
providing the maritime component to a
‘‘geographically realistic’’ range for U.S.
Pacific Command (PACOM) and U.S.
Northern Command (NORTHCOM)
scenario-based training.
The purpose of the Proposed Action
is to: (1) Support PACOM and
NORTHCOM training requirements; (2)
achieve and maintain Fleet readiness
using these Alaska training areas to
support and conduct current, emerging,
and future training activities; (3)
accommodate new training
requirements associated with the
introduction of new weapons and
systems to the Fleet; and (4) support
civilian authorities in homeland defense
training exercises.
The need for the Proposed Action is
to: (1) Maintain current levels of
military readiness; (2) accommodate
future increases in training activities to
support Fleet exercise requirements in
the Alaska training areas; (3) support the
acquisition and implementation into the
Fleet of advanced military technology;
and (4) maintain the long-term viability
of the Alaska training areas as a Navy
training area while protecting human

health and the environment, and
enhancing the quality and the
capabilities of the training area,
including safety.
The No Action Alternative is the
continuation of current training levels,
with one carrier strike group per
exercise, to exclude the use of midfrequency active sonar (MFAS).
Alternative 1 consists of an increase in
the number of training activities from
baseline levels, to include the use of
MFAS, plus training associated with the
introduction of new weapon systems,
vessels, and aircraft into the Fleet.
Alternative 2 consists of all elements of
Alternative 1, plus the addition of a
second summertime carrier strike group
exercise each year, to include the use of
MFAS.
Environmental issues that will be
addressed in the EIS/OEIS include but
are not limited to the following: Air
quality; airspace; biological resources,
including threatened and endangered
species; cultural resources; geology and
soils; hazardous materials and waste;
health and safety; noise;
socioeconomics; transportation and
water resources.
The Navy is initiating the scoping
process to identify community concerns
and local issues that will be addressed
in the EIS/OEIS. Federal, state, and local
agencies, Alaska Native FederallyRecognized Tribes, the public, and
interested persons are encouraged to
provide oral and/or written comments
to the Navy to identify specific
environmental issues or topics of
environmental concern that the
commenter believes the Navy should
consider. All comments, written or
provided orally at the scoping meetings,
will receive the same consideration
during EIS/OEIS preparation.
Written comments on the scope of the
EIS/OEIS should be postmarked no later
than April 30, 2008. Comments may be
mailed to: Mrs. Amy Burt, Naval
Facilities Engineering Command,
