DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Notice of Public Meetings for the Naval
Air Station Key West Airfield
Operations Draft Environmental Impact
Statement
Department of the Navy, DoD.
Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c)
of the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 and regulations
implemented by the Council on
Environmental Quality Regulations (40
Code of Federal Regulations parts 1500–
1508), the Department of the Navy
(DoN) has prepared and filed with the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency a
Draft Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) evaluating the potential
environmental effects associated with
supporting and conducting continued
airfield operations at Naval Air Station
(NAS) Key West. Specifically, the Draft
srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
EIS addresses the environmental effects
of maintaining current/baseline training
operations, supporting airfield
operations by new types of aircraft, and
modifying airfield operations as
necessary in support of the Fleet
Response Training Plan.
With the filing of the Draft EIS, the
DoN is initiating a 45-day public
comment period beginning on June 29,
2012 and ending on August 13, 2012.
During this period, the DoN will
conduct two public meetings to receive
oral and written comments on the Draft
EIS. This notice announces the dates
and locations of the public meetings and
provides supplementary information
about the environmental planning effort.
Dates and Addresses: Public
information and comment meetings will
be held in Key West, Florida between 5
p.m. and 8 p.m. on the following dates
and at the following locations:
1. Wednesday, August 1, 2012,
Doubletree Grand Key Resort
Conference Room, 3990 South Roosevelt
Boulevard, Key West, Florida 33040.
2. Thursday, August 2, 2012,
Tennessee Williams Theater at Florida
Keys Community College, 5901 College
Road, Key West (Stock Island), Florida.
Federal, state, and local agencies and
officials, and interested groups and
individuals, are encouraged to provide
comments in person at the public
meetings or in writing anytime during
the public comment period. At the
public meetings, attendees will be able
to submit comments orally or in writing.
Equal weight will be given to oral and
written statements. Comments may also
be submitted via the U.S. Postal Service
to Naval Facilities Engineering
Command Southeast, NAS Key West Air
Operations EIS Project Manager, P.O.
Box 30, Building 903, NAS Jacksonville,
FL 32212 or electronically via the
project Web site (https://
www.keywesteis.com). All statements,
oral or 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.
All written comments must be post
marked or received (online) by August
13, 2012, to ensure they become part of
the official record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice
of Intent to prepare this Draft EIS was
published in the Federal Register on
May 12, 2010 (75 FR 26739). The DoN’s
proposed action is to support and
PO 00000
Frm 00027
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

conduct aircraft training operations and
capabilities at NAS Key West by
maintaining current/baseline training
operations, supporting airfield
operations by introducing new types of
aircraft, and modifying airfield
operations as necessary in support of
the Fleet Response Training Plan. The
purpose of the proposed action is to
sustain fleet training at and associated
with NAS Key West airfield for Navy
tactical aviation and for use by other
Department of Defense and federal
agencies. The proposed action is needed
in order to maintain the level of
readiness mandated in Title 10 United
States Code Part 5062.
The Draft EIS evaluates the potential
environmental effects of the No Action
Alternative and three action
alternatives. Under the No Action
Alternative, annual airfield operations
would continue to occur at a level
similar to present (approximately 47,500
annual operations); support of existing
capabilities would continue; no new
aircraft would be introduced; and, no
facilities would be altered to support
next generation aircraft training
operations. Under Alternative 1, annual
airfield operations would continue at a
level similar to present (approximately
47,500 annual operations), plus legacy
aircraft would gradually transition to
next generation aircraft and existing
facilities would be altered to meet
requirements for next generation
aircraft. Alternative 2 would be the
same as Alternative 1, plus provide the
flexibility to accommodate additional
carrier air wing Field Carrier Landing
Practice (FCLP) training at NAS Key
West when primary carrier air wing
training locations around the United
States are unavailable. Additional
carrier air wing FCLP operations would
vary annually based on availability of
the primary training locations, but could
total up to 4,500 additional operations
(2,250 patterns). Total annual airfield
operations under Alternative 2 could
equal approximately 52,000 operations.
Alternative 3 would be the same as
Alternative 2, plus provide operational
capacity and flexibility to effectively
meet DoN training requirements under
the Fleet Response Training Plan with
an approximate ten percent increase in
other annual airfield operations. Total
annual airfield operations under this
alternative could equal approximately
57,000 operations. A preferred
alternative has not been selected or
identified by the DoN. The DoN seeks
comment from the public or interested
parties regarding selection of a preferred
alternative.
