Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 198 / Friday, October 10, 2008 / Notices
The 2005
BRAC Commission recommended the
closure of Fort McPherson no later than
15 September 2011 and the relocation of
tenant headquarters organizations to
Fort Sam Houston, Texas; Fort Eustis,
Virginia; Fort Bragg/Pope Air Force
Base, North Carolina; and Shaw Air
Force Base, South Carolina. The actions
at those places are subject to separate
NEPA analysis.
Following closure, the property
(approximately 487 acres) will be excess
to Army needs. Accordingly, the Army
proposes to dispose of its real property
interests at Fort McPherson. The Army
has recognized the McPherson Planning
Local Redevelopment Authority
(MPLRA) as the local reuse authority for
reuse planning associated with Fort
McPherson. The MPLRA released the
Fort McPherson Outreach and Land Use
Plan in September 2007. The plan is
available electronically at https://
www.mcphersonredevelopment.corn/
comprehensive_reuse.html.
The DES analyzed four alternatives:
(1) Early Transfer—under which transfer
and reuse of the property would occur
before environmental remedial action
has been completed; (2) Traditional
Disposal—under which transfer and
reuse of the property would occur once
environmental remediation is complete
for individual parcels of the installation;
(3) Caretaker Status—would begin
following the closure of the installation
in the event that the Army is unable to
dispose of the property. The
maintenance of the property would be
reduced to minimal activities necessary
to ensure security, health, and safety,
and to avoid physical deterioration of
facilities; and (4) No Action, under
which the Army would continue
operations at Fort McPherson at levels
similar to those occurring prior to the
BRAC Commission’s recommendation
for closure. Three reuse scenarios, based
on medium, medium-high, and high
intensity levels of reuse, are evaluated
as secondary actions of disposal of Fort
McPherson. These reuse scenarios
encompass the level of reuse expected
under the MPLRA’s reuse plan and
higher and lower levels of reuse.
For either of the transfer alternatives,
moderate adverse effects would be
expected to occur to aesthetics and
visual resources, noise, water resources,
biological resources, cultural resources,
transportation, and utilities. Reuse
analyzed in the DEIS could result in
significant adverse effects in the areas of
land use, air quality, socioeconomics,
transportation, and utilities. The
McPherson Implementation
Redevelopment Authority is authorized
to redevelop the installation in
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

accordance with the Reuse Plan.
Disposal of the property for reuse in
accordance with the Reuse Plan would
mitigate to less than significant the
direct and cumulative impacts of
disposal and reuse.
The Army invites the public, tribal
governments, local governments, and
state and federal agencies to submit
written comments or suggestions
concerning the alternatives and analyses
presented in the DEIS. The public and
government agencies also are invited to
participate in a public meeting where
oral and written comments and
suggestions will be received. A public
meeting will be held at a convenient
location near Fort McPherson. The date,
time, and location will be announced in
the local news media. Copies of the
DEIS will be available for review at
several local libraries prior to the public
meeting. The DEIS may also be viewed

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Record of Decision and Floodplain
Statement of Findings—Nevada Rail
Alignment for the Disposal of Spent
Nuclear Fuel and High-Level
Radioactive Waste at Yucca Mountain,

Office of Civilian Radioactive
Waste Management, U.S. Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Record of Decision.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In July 2008, the Department
of Energy (Department or DOE) issued
the ‘‘Final Supplemental Environmental
Impact Statement for a Geologic
Repository for the Disposal of Spent
Nuclear Fuel and High-Level
Radioactive Waste at Yucca Mountain,
Nye County, Nevada—Nevada Rail
Transportation Corridor’’ (DOE/EIS–
0250F–S2) (hereafter referred to as the
final Nevada Rail Corridor SEIS), the
‘‘Final Environmental Impact Statement
for a Rail Alignment for the
Construction and Operation of a
Railroad in Nevada to a Geologic
Repository at Yucca Mountain, Nye
County, Nevada’’ (DOE/EIS–0369)
(hereafter referred to as the final Rail
Alignment EIS), and the ‘‘Final
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement for a Geologic Repository for
the Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and
High-Level Radioactive Waste at Yucca
Mountain, Nye County, Nevada’’ (DOE/
EIS–0250F–S1) (hereafter referred to as
the final Repository SEIS). The final
Nevada Rail Corridor SEIS analyzed the
potential impacts of constructing and
operating a railroad for shipments of
spent nuclear fuel, high-level
radioactive waste, and other materials in
the Mina corridor, and DOE concluded
that the Mina corridor warranted further
analysis at the alignment level. This
further, more detailed analysis is
presented in the final Rail Alignment
EIS, which analyzed the potential
environmental impacts of constructing
and operating a railroad along rail
alignments in both the Caliente and
Mina rail corridors. The final Rail
Alignment EIS also analyzed the
potential environmental impacts from
shipments of general freight (also
referred to as common carriage
