ACTION: Notice of public meeting. AGENCY: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) invites interested parties to attend a preconsortium meeting on June 2–3, 2011 to be held on the NIST campus. The goal of the one-day meeting is to evaluate industry interest in creating a NIST/industry consortium focused on advanced neutron-based probes for soft materials. The goals of such a consortium would include the development of neutron-based measurements that would address critical needs for manufacturers of soft materials such as polymers, complex fluids, and protein-based materials. Advances in neutron-based measurement science are anticipated through the development of sample environments that closely mimic manufacturing processes, measurement methods to probe and analyze complex mixtures, and data analysis models that support routine measurements with high information content. The consortium would be administered by NIST. Consortium research and development would be conducted by NIST staff members along with at least one technical representative from each participating member company. CRADA contributions for participation in the consortium would be on the order of Twenty Thousand ($20,000) per year. The initial term of the consortium is intended to be three years. DATES: The meeting will take place on June 2–3, 2011 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held on the NIST Gaithersburg campus, 100 Bureau Drive, Gaithersburg, MD 20899.

Record of Decision (ROD) for the Base Closure and Realignment 
(BRAC) 2005 Actions at Fort McPherson, GA

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.

ACTION: Record of decision.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: 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 McPherson, Georgia.
    The Army has decided to implement its preferred alternative of 
early transfer of surplus 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 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 surplus 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) of 1980, 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 Georgia must concur 
with the deferral request for the surplus federal property at Fort 
McPherson.

ADDRESSES: To obtain a copy of the ROD contact Mr. Owen Nuttall, Fort 
McPherson BRAC Environmental Office, Building 714, 1508 Hood Avenue,
