Download as PDF 29322 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 100 / Tuesday, May 25, 2010 / Notices disclosure statements filed after the final rejection or after the filing of a notice of appeal. Furthermore, petitions concerning the refusal to enter amendments and/or evidence remain delegated to the Patent Examining Corps as provided in the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure (MPEP) 1002.02(b) and (c). Once the Chief Judge accepts the appeal brief as compliant, an examiner’s answer will be provided in the ex parte reexamination proceeding if the examiner determines that the appeal should be maintained. The examiner will treat all pending, rejected claims as being on appeal. If the notice of appeal or appeal brief identifies fewer than all of the rejected claims as being appealed, the issue will be addressed by the BPAI panel. The jurisdiction of the ex parte reexamination proceeding will be transferred to the BPAI when a docketing notice is entered after the time period for filing a reply brief expires or the examiner acknowledges the receipt and entry of the reply brief. After taking jurisdiction, the BPAI will not return or remand the ex parte reexamination proceeding to the Patent Examining Corps for issues related to a noncompliant appeal brief. This notice does not apply to inter partes reexamination proceedings. The Office is considering a streamlined procedure for review of briefs filed in inter partes reexamination proceedings, in which the Chief Judge will also have the sole responsibility for determining whether briefs filed in inter partes reexamination proceedings comply with 37 CFR 41.37, 41.67, 41.68, and 41.71.

DATES: The Draft EIS public review period will begin May 21, 2010, and end on July 6, 2010. Each of the two public meetings will be conducted as an informational open house. Individuals will have the opportunity to review the information presented in the Draft EIS. Marine Corps and Navy representatives will be available to clarify information related to the Draft EIS.

Equal weight will be given to oral and written statements. All statements, oral transcription and written, submitted during the public review period will become part of the public record on the Draft EIS and will be responded to in the Final EIS. Comments may also be submitted by regular U.S. mail or electronically as described below. ADDRESSES: A copy of the Draft EIS is available at the project Web site, https://www.usmcjsfwest.com, and at the local libraries identified at the end of this notice. Comments on the Draft EIS can be submitted via the project Web site, or submitted in writing to: Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southwest, Attn: JSF EIS Project Manager, 1220 Pacific Highway, San Diego, California 92132–5190. Mailed comments must be postmarked by July 6, 2010, and electronic comments must be submitted on or before July 6, 2010, to be considered in this environmental review process. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Adrianne Saboya, Environmental Planner, Central Integrated Product Team at telephone: 619–532–4742, by fax: 619–532–4160 or write to Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southwest, Attn: Ms. Adrianne Saboya, 1220 Pacific Highway, San Diego, California 92132–5190. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice of Intent (NOI) for the EIS was published in the Federal Register on January 19, 2009 (Vol. 74, No. 10, p. 2515). Proposed Action The proposed action would base up to 11 operational F–35B squadrons and 1 Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) squadron (184 aircraft) on the West Coast, and would replace eight F/A–18 squadrons (126 aircraft) and four AV–8B squadrons (56 aircraft) currently authorized for basing on the West Coast. The proposed action also includes construction and/or renovation of airfield facilities necessary to accommodate and maintain the F–35B squadrons, including construction of an auxiliary landing field on the Barry M. Goldwater Range West in Arizona; PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 29323 changes to personnel in support of basing; and conducting F–35B training and readiness operations in existing airspace and on existing ranges to ensure pilots attain and maintain combat ready status. The eight F/A–18 squadrons to be replaced are currently authorized for basing at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Miramar. The four AV–8B squadrons are based at MCAS Yuma. Purpose and Need The purpose of the Proposed Action is to efficiently and effectively maintain combat capability and mission readiness as the Marine Corps faces increased deployments across a spectrum of conflicts, and a corresponding increased difficulty in maintaining an aging legacy aircraft inventory. The need for the proposed action is to replace aging legacy aircraft and integrate the operational and OT&E F–35B squadrons into the existing Marine Corps command and organizational structure. This action would also ensure that the Marine Corps’ aircrews benefit from the aircraft’s major technological improvements and enhanced training and readiness requirements. Alternatives Considered in the Draft EIS The proposed F–35B squadrons would be split between two aviation facilities. Evaluations were made of the following five split-basing alternatives. • Alternative 1 (Preferred)—Six operational squadrons at MCAS Miramar in San Diego County, California, and five operational squadrons plus one OT&E squadron at MCAS Yuma in southwestern Arizona. • Alternative 2—Four operational squadrons at MCAS Miramar and seven operational squadrons plus one OT&E squadron at MCAS Yuma. • Alternative 3—Seven operational squadrons plus one OT&E squadron at MCAS Miramar and four operational squadrons at MCAS Yuma. • Alternative 4—One operational squadron plus one OT&E squadron at MCAS Miramar and ten operational squadrons at MCAS YUMA. • Alternative 5—Ten operational squadrons at MCAS Miramar and one operational squadron plus one OT&E squadron at MCAS Yuma. Under all basing alternatives, MCAS Miramar would lose eight F/A–18 squadrons and MCAS Yuma would lose four AV–8B squadrons. Construction of an auxiliary landing field within the Barry M. Goldwater Range West, as well as operations within the Bob Stump Training Range Complex and Barry M. Goldwater Range East are included as E:\FR\FM\25MYN1.SGM 25MYN1
