States (CONUS) Interceptor Site (CIS)

34315–34316). The public comment
period is extended 30 days and ends on

DATES: The extended 75-day public
comment period for the Draft EIS began

Public comments on the Draft EIS are
requested pursuant to the NEPA. All
written comments received during the
comment period will become part of the
public record. Providing private address
information with your comment is
voluntary and such personal
information will be kept confidential
unless release is required by law. All
comments received by the public,
including at public meetings, will be
addressed in the Final EIS. A NOA will
be published notifying the public of the
final EIS.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Christopher Johnson, MDA Public
Affairs, at 571–231–8212, or by email:
mda.info@mda.mil. For more
information, including a downloadable
copy of the Draft EIS, visit the MDA
Web site at https://www.mda.mil.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Action and Alternative: The
Department of Defense (DoD) does not
have a proposed action and has not
made a decision to deploy or construct
an additional interceptor site. Current
sites in Alaska and California provide
the necessary protection of the
homeland from a ballistic missile attack
by countries such as North Korea and
Iran. If the DoD were to make a decision
in the future to construct a new site, the
prior completion of the required site
studies and EIS could shorten the
timeline necessary to build such a site.
If deployed, a CIS would be an
extension of the existing Ground-based
Midcourse Defense (GMD) element of
the Ballistic Missile Defense System. To
the extent practicable, the CIS would be
built as a contiguous Missile Defense
Complex, similar to that found at Fort
Greely, Alaska, and would consist of a
deployment of up to a total of 60
Ground-Based Interceptors (GBIs) in up
to three GBI fields. The GBIs would not
be fired from their deployment site
except in the Nation’s defense and no
test firing would be conducted at a CIS.
The overall system architecture and
baseline requirements for a notional CIS
include, but are not limited to, the GBI
fields, Command Launch Equipment,
In-Flight Interceptor Communication
System Data Terminals, GMD
Communication Network, supporting
facilities, such as lodging and dining,
recreation, warehouse and bulk storage,
vehicle storage and maintenance, fire
station, hazardous materials/waste
storage, and roads and parking where
necessary.
Candidate site locations under
consideration include: Fort Custer
Training Center in Michigan; Camp
Ravenna Joint Military Training Center
in Ohio; and Fort Drum in New York.

Earlier this year, MDA designated the
Center for Security Forces Detachment
Kittery Survival, Evasion, Resistance
and Escape Facility (SERE East) in
Redington Township, Maine, as an
Alternative Considered, but Not Carried
Forward. The Draft EIS also analyzed a
No Action Alternative or no CIS
deployment. The DoD has not made a
decision to deploy or construct a CIS
and does not have a preferred
alternative.
For each of the candidate site
locations, the following resource areas
were assessed: Air quality, air space,
biological, cultural, environmental
justice, geology and soils, hazardous
materials and hazardous waste
management, health and safety, land
use, noise, socioeconomics,
transportation, utilities, water,
wetlands, and visual and aesthetics.
