SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et
seq.), the Council on Environmental
Quality Regulations for Implementing
the Procedural Provisions of NEPA (40
CFR Parts 1500–1508), and NASA NEPA
policy and procedures (14 CFR Part
1216, Subpart 1216.3), NASA has
prepared a Draft PEA that analyzes
scientific balloon launch and flight
operations originating from NASA’s
PO 00000
Frm 00080
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Columbia Scientific Balloon Facilities
(CSBF) in Fort Sumner, New Mexico
and Palestine, Texas. NASA has
launched and monitored the flights of
balloons from these locations for over 25
years. NASA is not proposing to change
the launch locations and is only
proposing to increase the number of
scientific balloons launched each year.
Balloon flights originating from CSBF
Fort Sumner would increase from 15 to
25 annually; balloons launched from
CSBF Palestine would continue at
approximately 6 per year. The No
Action Alternative, under which
balloon launch and flight operations
would not increase, is also analyzed in
detail in the Draft PEA.
In accordance with its NEPA
procedures, NASA has also prepared a
Draft FONSI that preliminarily
concludes that an Environmental Impact
Statement is not needed for the
proposal.
DATES: Interested parties are invited to
submit comments on the draft PEA and
the draft FONSI, preferably in writing,
no later than 30 days from the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.
ADDRESSES: Comments submitted via
mail should be addressed to: Joshua A.
Bundick, NEPA Program Manager,
Scientific Balloon Program, NASA
Goddard Space Flight Center’s Wallops
Flight Facility, Wallops Island, VA
23337. Comments also may be
submitted via electronic mail to: wffnepa@lists.nasa.gov.
