C. Meeting Schedule
TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Invitations to individual members of
the SEDAR Pool to participate in stock
assessments are at the discretion of the
Office of Sustainable Fisheries, NMFS.
Stock assessment timing, frequency, and
relevant species will vary depending on
the needs determined by NMFS and
SEDAR staff. Currently, NMFS
anticipates holding stock assessments
for smoothhound sharks (i.e., Mustelus
canis, M. norrisi, and M.
sinusmexicanus) in 2014. The specific

Environmental Assessment Finding of

Notice of Availability (NOA) for
Strategic Network Optimization (SNO)
Environmental Assessment (EA)
Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI).
AGENCY:
ACTION:
On September 20, 2013,
Defense Logistics Agency (DLA)
published a NOA in the Federal
Register (78 FR 57845) announcing the
publication of the Strategic Network
Optimization EA. The EA was available
for a 30-day public comment period
which ended October 19, 2013. The EA
was prepared as required under the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) (1969). In addition, the EA
complied with DLA Regulation (DLAR)
1000.22. No comments were received
during the comment period. This FONSI
documents the decision of DLA to select
the Global Distribution Network
alternative to implement the SNO
Program for the Department of Defense
(DoD). DLA has determined that the
proposed action was not a major federal
action significantly affecting the quality
of the human environment within the
context of NEPA and that no significant
impacts on the human environment are
associated with this decision.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ann
Engelberger at (703) 767–0705 during
normal business hours Monday through
Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
(EST) or by email: Ann.Engelberger@
dla.mil.
SUMMARY:
The SNO
Program originated in June 2009 at DOD
to: (1) Improve the distribution process,
(2) improve surface and air delivery
performance, (3) stage inventories in
forward locations in anticipation of
future demand, (4) optimize the
distribution network and (5) generate
cost savings/avoidances. In January
2012, the DoD’s Joint Logistics Board
(JLB) approved a course of action for
Phase I to implement the SNO Program.
The development of the SNO Program
adheres to the intent of the JLB decision.
Purpose and Need for Action: The
purpose of the SNO Program is to
improve DLA’s distribution network,
including supply, distribution,
disposition and transportation of
materials for warfighter support. The
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

SNO Program is needed to reduce
operating costs and maintain
operational readiness.
Proposed Action and Alternatives:
Under the Proposed Action, DLA would
optimize the DoD distribution network
with a reconfigured transportation
network as the critical factor in reducing
costs and maintaining or improving
service levels to end customer.
DLA would expand the existing
Forward Flow Network from two main
distribution hubs (DLA Distribution San
Joaquin, California and DLA
Distribution Susquehanna,
Pennsylvania) to three hubs by adding
DLA Distribution Red River, Texas. DLA
Distribution Red River is an existing
DoD facility, so no new construction is
required. DLA would also optimize the
DoD Reverse Flow Network (disposing
of excess property) by reducing the
number of current customer service
locations, co-locating with existing DLA
distribution centers, instituting process
changes and personnel restructuring.
As an alternative to the reconfigured
Global Distribution Network, DLA
considered taking no action. Under the
no action alternative, DLA would
continue the current storage,
distribution, disposition and
transportation networks. The no action
alternative would not satisfy the
project’s purpose and need; however,
the alternative was included in the
environmental analysis to provide a
baseline for comparison with the
proposed action and was analyzed in
accordance with Council on
Environmental Quality regulations for
implementing NEPA.
Potential Environmental Impacts:
Potential environmental impacts of the
reconfigured Global Distribution
Network alternative have been assessed
and compared to the impacts of the no
action alternative with following
impacts:
• No significant impacts to
transportation resulting from the
reduction in travel time from
distribution hub to installation.
• Any slight increase in activity from
the change in the type of distribution at
the San Joaquin and Susquehanna sites
would not alter existing emissions from
mobile sources, resulting in no
significant impacts.
• An increase in emissions from
mobile sources at DLA Distribution Red
River, with more daily truck trips in and
out of the facility. Emissions from this
increase would however be localized
and would not be expected to impact
national or regional emission levels or
the attainment status of Bowie County,
resulting in no significant impacts to air
quality.

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 213 / Monday, November 4, 2013 / Notices
• A beneficial impact to
socioeconomics from a boost in primary,
secondary and induced employment at
DLA Distribution Red River associated
with the potential increase in
transportation requirements at this
facility.
• No significant impacts to land use
from the increased activity at DLA
Distribution Red River.
Determination: DLA has determined
that implementation of the reconfigured
Global Distribution Network will not
have a significant effect on the human
environment. Human environment was
interpreted comprehensively to include
the natural and physical environment
and the relationship of people with that
environment. Specifically, no highly
uncertain or controversial impacts,
unique or unknown risk or cumulatively
significant effects were identified.
Implementation of the reconfigured
Global Distribution Network will not
violate any federal, state or local laws.
Based on the results of the analyses
performed during the preparation of the
programmatic environmental
assessment, David Rodriguez, Director,
DLA Installation Support, concludes the
selection of the reconfigured Global
Distribution Network to implement the
SNO Program does not constitute a
major federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human
environment within the context of
NEPA. Therefore, an environmental
impact statement for the proposed
action is not required.
