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.

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.
