Cooperating Agency Actions
The PFRR EIS will serve as a
decision-making tool not only for NASA
but also for its two Federal Cooperating
Agencies, BLM and USFWS. Directly
north of the PFRR facility are its
downrange flight zones, over which
rockets are launched and within which
spent stages and payloads impact the
ground. Within these flight zones are
BLM’s Steese National Conservation
Area and White Mountain National
Recreational Area, and the USFWSmanaged Arctic and Yukon Flats
National Wildlife Refuges. Historically,
the managing entities have issued UAF
annual or multi-year special-use
authorizations and agreements for
impact of rockets and recovery
operations on these lands.
BLM and USFWS are currently
considering if and how future
authorizations for rocket landing and
recovery would be issued for the
properties under their management. As
such, the DEIS considers the effects of
each agency’s respective permitting
actions.

Alternatives
The DEIS evaluates the environmental
consequences of five alternative means
for continuing sounding rocket launches
at PFRR. The alternatives differ
primarily in the level of effort that
would be exerted to locate and recover
past and future launch related items in
downrange lands. Two alternatives also
include a restriction on planning rocket
motor or payload impacts within
designated Wild or Scenic Rivers.
Public Meetings
NASA and its Cooperating Agencies
plan to hold public meetings in Alaska
to discuss the SRP at PFRR and to solicit
comments on the DEIS.
The public meetings are currently
scheduled for:
—Wednesday, October 24, 2012, at the
USFWS Alaska Regional Office,
Gordon Watson Conference Room,
1011 East Tudor Road, Anchorage,
Alaska, 6:00 p.m.–8:00 p.m.
—Thursday, October 25, 2012, at the
BLM Fairbanks District Office, 1150
University Avenue, Fairbanks, Alaska,
6:00 p.m.–8:00 p.m.
Times and locations of additional
meetings, particularly those with
interior Villages, will be coordinated
with the respective governing bodies
and published locally as they are
scheduled. NASA will consider all
comments received in developing its
Final EIS; comments received and
responses to comments will be included
in the Final document. In conclusion,
