NOAA
established the OEAB under the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (FACA) and
legislation that gives the agency
statutory authority to operate an ocean
exploration program and to coordinate a
national program of ocean exploration.
The OEAB advises NOAA leadership on
strategic planning, exploration
priorities, competitive ocean
exploration grant programs and other
matters as the NOAA Administrator
requests.
OEAB members represent government
agencies, the private sector, academic
institutions, and not-for-profit
institutions involved in all facets of
ocean exploration—from advanced
technology to citizen exploration.
In addition to advising NOAA
leadership, NOAA expects the OEAB to
help to define and develop a national
program of ocean exploration—a
network of stakeholders and
partnerships advancing national
priorities for ocean exploration.

Statement, Fort Campbell, KY
Department of the Army, DoD.
Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
The Department of the Army
and Fort Campbell announce the
decision to conduct proposed training
mission and mission support activities
at Fort Campbell, KY. The action was
the preferred alternative identified in
the Final Programmatic Environmental
Impact Statement (PEIS) for Training,
Mission and Mission Support Activities
at Fort Campbell. The Record of
Decision (ROD) explains the potential
environmental and socioeconomic
impacts associated with the selected
action, which includes implementing
site-specific projects in support of
Soldier training, using Adaptable Use
Zones for future facility siting,
streamlining review of routine range
and training land actions, and pursuing
reactivation of the airspace previously
designated as the R3703 A, B, and C
restricted airspace. The selected
alternative best meets the Army’s need
to build, update, and operate military
training ranges and other facilities on
Fort Campbell to ensure that its Soldiers
are proficiently trained across the full
spectrum of military operations. As part
of the implementation of this decision,
the Army will take practical measures to
mitigate impacts to protect and sustain
the environment.

(Air Assault), the 5th Special Forces
Group, 160th Special Operations
Aviation Regiment, and other tenant
units. The mission of Fort Campbell is
primarily to support and train the units
stationed on the installation in
preparation for a variety of assigned
combat and combat related missions.
Fort Campbell is committed to
providing Soldiers with a high quality
training environment. The selected
alternative allows the Army to take the
necessary actions to support high
quality training at an environmentally
sustainable Fort Campbell, including
range construction, modernization, and
maintenance; land management
activities; and reactivation of restricted
airspace. The selected alternative best
meets the Army’s need to build, update,
and operate military training ranges and
other facilities on Fort Campbell to
ensure that its Soldiers are proficiently
trained across the full spectrum of
military operations.
The selected alternative includes
continuing existing military training on
Fort Campbell, constructing and
operating site-specific projects in
support of Soldier training, creating
adaptable use zones to facilitate future
modernization and range facility
construction, implementing routine
range and training land actions and
environmental stewardship practices,
and pursuing reactivation of the
airspace previously designated as the
R3703 A, B, and C restricted airspace.
The ROD incorporates analysis
contained in the Final PEIS for Fort
Campbell including comments provided
during formal comment and review
periods. There were no comments
received during the waiting period, a
period that was initiated when the
Notice of Availability for the Final PEIS
was published in the Federal Register
on May 13, 2016 (81 FR 29849).
Implementing this decision is not
expected to result in significant impacts;
however, moderate adverse impacts
could occur to soils, biological
resources, and water resources,
including potential impacts to the
Northern Long Eared Bat. To minimize
the potential adverse impacts, the Army
will mitigate these effects through a
variety of strategies as described in the
ROD.
