srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 245 / Wednesday, December 22, 2010 / Notices
Commission Report, the Army is
required to close Fort McPherson and
relocate certain tenant organizations to
Pope Air Force Base, North Carolina;
Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina;
Fort Eustis, Virginia; and Fort Sam
Houston, Texas. The tenant relocation
actions were the subject of separate
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) analyses. After tenants are
relocated and all non-caretaking
operations have ceased on the
installation, the Army will close Fort
McPherson. Closure is required no later
than 15 September 2011.
Following closure, the property
(approximately 487 acres) will be excess
to Army needs. Accordingly, the Army
proposes to dispose of its real property
interests at Fort McPherson. The DoD
and the Army have recognized the
McPherson Planning Local
Redevelopment Agency (MPLRA) as the
local reuse authority for reuse planning
associated with Fort McPherson. The
MPLRA developed the Fort McPherson
Reuse Plan, which is pending
notification from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development
required under the BRAC Act and the
Stewart B. McKinney Homeless
Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11301 et seq.).
The plan is available electronically at
https://
www.mcphersonredevelopment.com/.
On 9 September 2009, Governor Purdue
authorized the establishment of the
McPherson Implementing Local
Redevelopment Authority, which will
be responsible for overseeing the
implementation of the Reuse Plan.
Four alternatives were analyzed in the
FEIS: (1) A No Action Alternative,
under which the Army would continue
operations at Fort McPherson at levels
similar to those occurring prior to the
BRAC Commission’s recommendation
for closure; (2) an Early Transfer
Alternative, under which transfer and
reuse of the property would occur
before environmental remedial actions
have been completed (but consistent
with protection of human health and the
environment); (3) a Traditional Disposal
Alternative, under which transfer and
reuse of the property would occur once
environmental remediation is complete
for individual parcels of the installation;
and (4) a Caretaker Status Alternative,
which begins following the closure of
the installation in the event that the
Army is unable to dispose of the
property, after which time the
maintenance of the property would be
reduced to minimal activities necessary
to ensure security, health, and safety,
and to avoid physical deterioration of
facilities. Alternative 2 (Early Transfer)
is the Army’s preferred alternative,
VerDate Mar<15>2010
20:24 Dec 21, 2010
Jkt 223001
which would make the property
available for reuse sooner than under
the traditional disposal alternative.
Three reuse scenarios, based on
medium, medium-high, and high
intensity levels of reuse are also
evaluated as secondary actions of
disposal of Fort McPherson. These reuse
scenarios encompass the level of reuse
expected under the Reuse Plan, which
is considered the medium-high intensity
reuse scenario.
For early transfer and traditional
disposal alternatives, moderate adverse
effects would be expected to occur to
aesthetics and visual resources, noise,
water resources, biological resources,
cultural resources (to include the
historic district at Fort McPherson),
transportation, and utilities. Reuses
analyzed in the EIS could result in
significant adverse effects in the areas of
land use, air quality, and transportation.
Disposal of the property for reuse in
accordance with the Reuse Plan would
mitigate to less than significant the
direct and cumulative impacts of
disposal and reuse.
A Record of Decision stating which
alternative the Army has selected will
not be issued earlier than 30 days after
this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Advisory Commission on Accessible
Instructional Materials in Postsecondary
Education for Students with Disabilities
(the Commission) is established under
Section 772 of the Higher Education
Opportunity Act, Public Law 110–315,
dated August 14, 2008. The Commission
is established to (a) conduct a
comprehensive study, which will—(I)
assess the barriers and systemic issues
that may affect, and technical solutions
available that may improve, the timely
delivery and quality of accessible
instructional materials for
postsecondary students with print
disabilities, as well as the effective use
of such materials by faculty and staff;
and (II) make recommendations related
to the development of a comprehensive
approach to improve the opportunities
for postsecondary students with print
disabilities to access instructional
materials in specialized formats in a
time frame comparable to the
availability of instructional materials for
postsecondary nondisabled students.
In making recommendations for the
study, the Commission shall consider—
(I) how students with print disabilities
may obtain instructional materials in
accessible formats within a time frame
comparable to the availability of
instructional materials for nondisabled
students; and to the maximum extent
practicable, at costs comparable to the
costs of such materials for nondisabled
students; (II) the feasibility and
technical parameters of establishing
standardized electronic file formats,
such as the National Instructional
Materials Accessibility Standard as
defined in Section 674(e)(3) of the
