Contiguous Regions. The West Region
consists of Arizona, California, Idaho,
Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. The
Draft PEIS analyzes potential impacts of
the deployment and operation of the
NPSBN on the natural and human
environment in the West Region, in
accordance with FirstNet’s
responsibilities under NEPA.
Next Steps
All comments received by the public
and any interested stakeholders will be
evaluated and considered by FirstNet
during the preparation of the Final PEIS.
Once a PEIS is completed and a Record
of Decision (ROD) is signed, FirstNet
will evaluate site-specific
documentation, as network design is
developed, to determine if the proposed
project has been adequately evaluated in
the PEIS or warrants a Categorical
Exclusion, an Environmental
Assessment, or an Environmental
Impact Statement.
