The purpose of the Proposed Action is to conduct and facilitate training activities at the FRTC to ensure that the DoN achieves its mission, to maintain, train, and equip combat-ready naval forces capable of winning wars, deterring aggression, and maintaining freedom. The alternatives analyzed in the FRTC EIS are as follows. 1. No Action Alternative: Baseline training activities, as defined by the tempo and type of training, when averaged over recent representative years. 2. Alternative 1: Overall adjustments to types and levels of activities, from the baseline as necessary to support current and planned DoN training requirements, from 8,558 annual activities under the No Action Alternative to 9,147 annual activities. In addition, the DoN proposes range investments involving upgrades to the Tactical Combat Training System, upgrade of Threat EW Systems, and installation of fiber optic telecommunications infrastructure. 3.

Resource areas to be addressed in the EIS will include, but not be limited to, terrestrial resources and biological resources, geology, soils and water resources, land use and recreation, air quality, noise, cultural resources, transportation, socioeconomics, environmental justice, and public health and safety.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2000, the DoN completed an EIS for 
Proposed FRTC Requirements. The DoN's new Proposed Action is to 
continue and enhance training activities within the existing FRTC. In
