BILLING CODE 5001–06–P [FR Doc. 2010–26930 Filed 10–22–10; 8:45 am] 16:05 Oct 22, 2010 Jkt 223001 ACTION: The Department of the Army announces the availability of the ROD, which summarizes the decision on how to implement property disposal in accordance with the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (the Base Closure Act), Public Law 101– 510, as amended, following the closure of Fort Monroe, Virginia. The Army has decided to implement its preferred alternative of early transfer of surplus non-reverting federal property to other entities for reuse. Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and its implementing regulations, the Army prepared a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) that includes the evaluation of the environmental and socioeconomic impacts of disposing of surplus Federal property that does not revert to the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the implementation by others of reasonable, foreseeable reuse alternatives for the entire property. Under the early transfer alternative, the Army can transfer and dispose of nonreverting property for redevelopment before environmental remedial actions have been completed. This method of early disposal, allowable under Section 120(h)(3)(C) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), would defer the CERCLA covenant requirement to complete all necessary environmental cleanup prior to the transfer of the remediated property. In this way, parcels could become available for redevelopment and reuse sooner under this disposal alternative than under any other. The Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia must concur with the deferral request for the nonreversionary property at Fort Monroe. ADDRESSES: To obtain a copy of the ROD, contact Mr. Robert Reali, Fort Monroe BRAC Environmental Coordinator, Directorate of Public Works, 318 Cornog Lane, Fort Monroe, VA 23651–1110; via e-mail address at monr.post.nepapublic@us.army.mil; or via Web site at https:// www.hqda.army.mil/acsim/brac/ nepa_eis_docs.htm. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Rob Reali at (757) 788–5363. SUMMARY: AGENCY: ACTION: Department of the Navy, DoD. Notice. The Department of the Navy (DoN), after carefully weighing the environmental consequences of the proposed action as presented in the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS), announces its decision to implement the expanded safety zones and associated mitigation measures and continue DoN training at Pinecastle Range, as detailed in the Final Environmental Impact Statement for Renewal of Authorization to Use Pinecastle Range, Ocala National Forest, Florida, dated January 2002, in furtherance of DoN’s statutory obligations under Title 10 of the United States Code governing the roles and responsibilities of the DoN. In its decision, the DoN considered applicable laws and executive orders, including an analysis of the effects of its actions in compliance with the Endangered Species Act, the Coastal Zone Management Act, and the National Historic Preservation Act, and the requirements of Executive Order (EO) 12898, Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low Income Populations and EO 13045, Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. Implementation of the proposed action could begin immediately. SUMMARY: The complete text of the DoN’s Record of Decision (ROD) is available for public viewing on the project Web site at https://www.pinecastleseis.com along with copies of the SFEIS and supporting documents.
