Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 75 / Friday, April 18, 2014 / Notices
Berthing, and Army Air and Missile
Defense Task Force’’ dated July 2010.
The Record of Decision (ROD) for the
Final EIS was signed on September 20,
2010, and published in the Federal
Register (75 FR 60438, September 30,
2010). In the months following the
issuance of the ROD, the DoN made
adjustments with regards to the LFTRC,
including application of a probabilistic
methodology that shrank the overall
footprint of the Multi-Purpose Machine
Gun range. The DoN also formally
committed that if the Route 15 area was
selected for the LFTRC, DoN would
provide for 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week access to Pagat Village and Pagat
Cave historical sites, to include the trail
leading to both. Faced with this new
information, the DoN initially elected to
prepare an SEIS limited solely to the
evaluation of impacts associated with
the location, construction, and
operation of the LFTRC. The DoN issued
its Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare the
SEIS in February 2012 in the Federal
Register (77 FR 6787, February 9, 2012).
In the NOI, the DoN preliminarily
identified five (5) alternatives for the
LFTRC: Two (2) were adjacent to Route
15 in northeastern Guam, and three (3)
were located at or immediately adjacent
to the Naval Magazine (NAVMAG).
Public scoping meetings were
conducted for the SEIS in March 2012,
and the public scoping comment period
closed on April 6, 2012. Shortly
thereafter, on April 27, 2012, the U.S.Japan Security Consultative Committee
issued a joint statement announcing its
decision to adjust the plans outlined in
the May 2006 Roadmap for Realignment
Implementation. In accordance with
these ‘‘2012 Roadmap Adjustments,’’
the DoD adopted a new force posture in
the Pacific providing for a materially
smaller and reconfigured force on
Guam. In conjunction with changes in
the mix of personnel involved in the
relocation, the adjustments reduced the
originally planned relocation of
approximately 8,600 Marines with
approximately 9,000 dependents to a
force of approximately 5,000 Marines
with approximately 1,300 dependents.
That decision prompted the DoN’s
review of the actions previously
planned for Guam and approved in the
September 2010 ROD. This review
concluded that while some actions
remained unchanged, others, such as
the size and location of the cantonment
and family housing areas, could
significantly change because of the force
modification. Therefore, the DoN
published a new NOI in the Federal
Register (77 FR 61746, October 11,
2012) and amended the scope of the
VerDate Mar<15>2010

ongoing LFTRC SEIS to add those
actions that materially changed due to
the new force posture. The DoN
conducted additional public scoping
meetings for this SEIS in November
2012.
Dated: April 14, 2014.

Alternatives Considered
BILLING CODE 3810–FF–P
The Draft SEIS analyzes a range of
alternatives for the proposed action
including the no action alternative. The
Draft SEIS analyzes four (4)
cantonment/family housing alternatives:
Alternative A—Finegayan; Alternative
B—Finegayan/South Finegayan;
Alternative C—AAFB; and Alternative
D—Barrigada. The Draft SEIS analyzes
five (5) LFTRC alternatives: Alternative
1—Route 15; Alternative 2—NAVMAG
East/West; Alternative 3—NAVMAG
North/South; Alternative 4—NAVMAG
L-Shaped; and Alternative 5—Andersen
Air Force Base Northwest Field (NWF).
The Draft EIS provides information on
the affected environment and impacts of
the proposed actions for 18 distinct
resource areas. These resource areas
include water quality, terrestrial
biology, socioeconomics and
environmental justice, land use, cultural
resources, recreation, visual, marine
transportation, ground transportation,
air quality, noise, and utilities
(including water, power and
wastewater), among others.

Instructions
Office of the Secretary/Office of
the Deputy Secretary, Department of
Education (ED).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
Per the guidance of CEQ, an agency’s
preferred alternative is the alternative
that the agency believes best fulfills its
statutory mission and responsibilities,
giving consideration to economic,
environmental, technical and other
factors (40 CFR 1502.14(e)). The DoN
considered military requirements,
infrastructure and environmental
impacts and constraints, and scoping
input from the public, resource
agencies, and Government of Guam
during the process of identifying a
preferred alternative. The DoN’s
preferred alternative is to construct and
operate a cantonment (including family
housing) at Finegayan (Alternative A)
and an LFTRC at NWF (Alternative 5).
This combination best meets Marine
Corps operational requirements (size
and layout), maximizes the use of
federal land on Guam, and optimizes
operational efficiencies due to the
relative proximity of the facilities.
In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. chapter 3501 et seq.), ED is
proposing an extension of an existing
information collection.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to

VerDate Mar<15>2010

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
DOE and Hawaii entered into a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
in January 2008 that established a longterm partnership to assist Hawaii in its
efforts to transform the way in which
energy efficiency and renewable energy
resources are planned and used in the
State. The MOU established working

groups to address key sectors of the
energy economy (e.g., electricity, enduse efficiency, transportation, and
fuels), which led to the establishment of
the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative
(HCEI). A goal of the HCEI is to meet 70
percent of Hawaii’s energy needs by
2030 through energy efficiency and
renewable energy (collectively ‘‘clean
energy’’).
PEIS Scoping
On December 14, 2010, DOE issued a
notice of intent to prepare a PEIS, with
the State of Hawaii as a joint lead, on
the wind phase of the Hawaii
Interisland Renewable Energy Program
(75 FR 77859). In light of scoping
comments and regulatory and policy
developments, DOE broadened the
range of reasonable energy efficiency
and renewable energy activities and
technologies to be analyzed in the PEIS
and issued an amended notice of intent
to prepare the Hawaii Clean Energy
PEIS (77 FR 47828; August 10, 2012). In
preparing the PEIS, DOE considered
scoping comments received on the
initial and amended notices of intent.
The Hawaii Clean Energy Draft PEIS
was prepared with the following
cooperating agencies: State of Hawaii
(Department of Business, Economic
Development and Tourism), U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
Region 9, Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management, National Park Service,
Natural Resources Conservation Service,
U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Navy, and
Federal Aviation Administration.
Purpose and Need for Agency Action
The purpose and need for DOE’s
action is based on the 2008 MOU with
the State of Hawaii that established the
long-term HCEI partnership. Consistent
with this MOU, DOE’s purpose and
need is to support the State of Hawaii
in its efforts to meet 70 percent of the
State’s energy needs by 2030 through
clean energy. DOE’s primary purpose in
preparing this PEIS is to provide
information to the public, Federal and
State agencies, and future energy
developers on the potential
environmental impacts of a wide range
of energy efficiency activities and
renewable energy technologies that
could support the HCEI. This
environmental information could be
used by decisionmakers, developers,
and regulators in determining the best
activities and technologies to meet
future energy needs. The public could
use this PEIS to better understand the
types of potential impacts associated
with the various technologies.
