Notice of intent; notice of public meeting; request for comments. AGENCY: ACTION: SUMMARY: The Department of Defense (DOD) announces its intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) as part of the environmental planning process for a Campus Development Project at Fort George G. Meade, Maryland (hereafter referred to as Fort Meade). The DOD proposes the development of a portion of Fort Meade (referred to as ‘‘Site M’’) as an operational complex and to construct and operate consolidated facilities to meet the National Security Agency’s (NSA) continually evolving requirements and for Intelligence Community use. The purpose of the Proposed Action is to provide facilities that are fully-supportive of the Intelligence Community’s mission. The need for the action is to consolidate multiple agencies’ efforts to ensure capabilities for current and future mission accomplishments as directed by Congress and the President. Publication of this notice begins a scoping process that identifies and determines the scope of environmental issues to be addressed in the EIS. This notice requests public participation in the scoping process and provides information on how to participate. DATES: There will be an open house at 4 p.m. followed by a scoping meeting from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 21, 2009, at Fort Meade Middle School, 1103 26th Street, Fort Meade, Maryland 20755. Comments or questions regarding this EIS should be submitted by 45 days from the date of publication in the Federal Register to ensure sufficient time to consider public input in the preparation of the Draft EIS. PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 ADDRESSES: The open house and scoping meeting will be held at the Fort Meade Middle School, 1103 26th Street, Fort Meade, Maryland 20755. Oral and written comments will be accepted at the scoping meeting. You can also submit written comments to ‘‘Campus Development EIS’’ c/o E2M, 2751 Prosperity Avenue, Suite 200, Fairfax, VA 22031 or submitted by e-mail to CampusEIS@e2m.net. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Jeffrey Williams at (301) 688–2970, or email jdwill2@nsa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: The NSA is a tenant DOD agency on Fort Meade. NSA is a high-technology organization that is on the frontier of communications and data processing. In order to meet mission growth requirements as well as provide consolidated facilities that are fullysupportive of the Intelligence Community’s mission, development of a modern operational complex is needed at the NSA campus on Fort Meade. Proposed Action and Alternatives: The Campus Development Project was initiated to provide a modern operational complex to meet the growth requirements of NSA and consolidated facilities for Intelligence Community use. Development is proposed for a portion of Fort Meade (referred to as ‘‘Site M’’) adjacent to the NSA campus. Site M is divided into northern (Site M1, 137 acres) and southern (Site M2, 99 acres) portions. DOD proposes that development of Site M occur in three option phases over a horizon of approximately 20 years. • Phase I. Development would occur in the near term on the western half of Site M1, supporting 1.8 million square feet of facilities for NSA to consolidate mission elements, enabling services, and support services across the campus based on function; servicing the need for more collaborative environment and optimal adjacencies, including associated infrastructure (e.g., electrical substation and generator plants providing 60 megawatts of electricity) and administrative functions for up to 6,500 personnel. • Phase II. Development would occur in the mid-term on the eastern half of Site M1, supporting 1.2 million square feet of administrative facilities. • Phase III. Development would occur on Site M2 in the long term, supporting an additional 2.8 million square feet of administrative facilities, bringing built space to 5.8 million square feet for up to 11,000 personnel. Alternatives identified include each of the development phases identified above, as well as three options for E:\FR\FM\02JYN1.SGM 02JYN1
