ACTION: Notice of Intent. SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.), the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of NEPA (40 CFR Parts 1500–1508), and Air Force policy and procedures (32 CFR Part 989), the Air Force is issuing this notice to advise the public of its intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to assess the potential environmental impacts of establishing training F–35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) aircraft at one or more existing Air Force installations within the continental United States. The proposed basing alternatives are Luke AFB, Arizona; Holloman AFB, New Mexico; Eglin AFB, Florida; Air Terminal Air Guard Station, Idaho; and Tucson International Airport Air Guard, Arizona. Each candidate base is an alternative. The potential environmental impacts for each alternative will be analyzed for no action and in six increments of 24 primary assigned aircraft. The Air Force version of the F–35 JSF, designated F–35A, is a conventional take-off, multiple-role fighter with an emphasis on air-to-ground missions. The aircraft was designed to supplement and eventually replace legacy aircraft as well as complement the air-to-air mission of the F–22A Raptor. At any of the alternative locations, the beddown action would involve personnel changes, facility construction and modifications, and aircraft training operations. Scoping: In order to effectively define the full range of issues to be evaluated in the EIS, the Air Force will determine the scope of the EIS (i.e., what will be covered and in what detail) by soliciting VerDate Nov<24>2008 11:00 Dec 24, 2009 Jkt 220001 scoping comments from interested state and federal agencies and interested members of the public through the Federal Register and various media in the local areas of concern. Scoping comments should be submitted to the address below by the date indicated. The Air Force will also hold a series of scoping meetings to further solicit input regarding the scope of the proposed action and alternatives. DATES: Scoping meetings will be held in the potentially impacted communities. The scheduled dates, times, locations and addresses for the meetings will be published in local media a minimum of 15 days prior to the scoping meetings. The Air Force intends to hold scoping meetings in the following communities: January 25–29, 2010 Carrizozo, Alamogordo, Truth or Consequences, Socorro, and Fort Sumner, New Mexico; February 8–12, 2010 Marsing, Boise, Meridian, and Bruneau Idaho; February 22–26, 2010 El Mirage, Sun City, Gila Bend, Wickenburg, and Litchfield Park, Arizona; March 1–5, 2010 Tucson, San Carlos, Safford, Bisbee, Arizona. Comments will be accepted at any time during the environmental impact analysis process. However, to ensure the Air Force has sufficient time to consider public input in the preparation of the Draft EIS, comments should be submitted to the address below by March 25, 2010. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David Martin, HQ AETC/A7PP, 266 F Street West, Randolph AFB, TX 78150– 4319, telephone 210–652–1962.

E9–30661 Filed 12–24–09; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4000–01–P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Reimbursement for Costs of Remedial Action at Active Uranium and Thorium Processing Sites Department of Energy. Notice of the acceptance of Title X claims during fiscal year (FY) 2010. AGENCY: ACTION: SUMMARY: This Notice announces the Department of Energy (DOE) acceptance of claims in FY 2010 from eligible active uranium and thorium processing site licensees for reimbursement under Title X of the Energy Policy Act of 1992. In FY 2009, Congress appropriated $70 million for Title X in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act). In addition, Congress provided $10 million for Title X through the normal appropriation process. As of the end of FY 2009, there are approximately $36.6 million of Recovery Act funds available for PO 00000 Frm 00033 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 reimbursement in FY 2010, as well as the $10 million provided by the FY 2009 appropriation. Approximately $14 million of the Recovery Act funds will be reimbursed to licensees in early calendar year 2010 following the review of claims received by May 1, 2009. In order to ensure DOE fully utilizes the Recovery Act funds provided for the Title X Program, licensees will be eligible to submit two separate claims in FY 2010. The first claim will be the final FY 2010 annual claim for costs of remedial action performed primarily during the previous calendar year. The second claim will address a portion of the remedial action costs incurred during calendar year 2010, effectively an early FY 2011 claim. The early submission of these claims will enable DOE to meet the specific requirements of the Recovery Act and obligate funding prior to the statutory deadline of September 30, 2010. As of this date it appears there will be no increase in FY 2010 to the uranium dry short ton ceiling, to the individual uranium licensee reimbursement ceilings, to the total amount authorized for reimbursement to the uranium licenses, or to the total amount authorized for reimbursement to the thorium licensee because the change in the average monthly Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers from 2008 to 2009 is expected to be less than or equal to one. As a result, uranium licensees whose costs exceed the uranium dry short ton ceiling will not be eligible for reimbursement in FY 2010. DATES: In order to utilize the Recovery Act funds most effectively, the Department will accept two claims from each licensee in FY 2010. 1. The first claim will be the final FY 2010 claim for any costs of remedial action performed prior to that claim submission date but not previously claimed. The closing date for submission of the final FY 2010 claims will be April 30, 2010. It is the intent of the Department to complete the review of the final FY 2010 claims and reimburse eligible claim amounts in January or February of 2011, but no later than April 29, 2011. 2. The second claim will be the partial FY 2011 claim for costs of remedial action performed subsequent to work claimed in the final FY 2010 claim but prior to the submission date. The closing date for submission of the partial FY 2011 claims will be August 24, 2010. The partial FY 2011 claims will be reviewed along with the final FY 2011 claims: The closing date for submission of final FY 2011 claims will be on or about April 29, 2011.
