Download as PDF 21924 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 79 / Wednesday, April 23, 2008 / Notices monitor the effectiveness of MDA’s mitigation measures, including those identified in future, site-specific NEPA analyses tiered from this PEIS. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY G. Environmentally Preferred Alternative AGENCY: mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES H. Conclusion I have considered potential environmental impacts as defined in the PEIS, cost, technical requirements, applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, Presidential direction (the December 17, 2002, Presidential announcement to field an initial defensive operation capability), MDA’s mandate and mission, and public comments in arriving at my decision. I select Alternative 1 over the other alternatives for implementation of the proposed action. Although the No Action Alternative has been identified as the environmentally-preferred alternative, it does not support the Agency’s mandate or mission. Alternative 1 has fewer environmental consequences than Alternative 2, as described above. I have selected Alternative 1 because integration of missile defense capabilities as opposed to single element development, testing, and deployment is essential to an effective BMDS that can provide a layered defense of the United States, its deployed troops, and its friends and allies. Any decision to deploy a BMDS capability will be subject to Presidential and Congressional authorization and funding. [FR Doc.

Submission for Office of Management and Budget (OMB) review; comment request ACTION: The findings of the PEIS indicate that the No Action Alternative, the continuation of existing program element-based testing and development activities with no integration testing, would be the environmentally-preferred alternative. As a conservative estimate, MDA assumed that stand-alone element component testing as well as system integration testing would occur under Alternatives 1 and 2, which would result in potentially more adverse effects than the No Action Alternative. However, MDA believes that consolidation of stand-alone component tests associated with Alternative 1 into the system integration tests to the extent practicable could serve to reduce the overall environmental consequences as the total number of tests conducted by MDA could fall.
