Notice.
Jkt 247001
Pursuant to section 102(2)(c)

The DoN will hold seven public
meetings to inform the public about the
proposed action, alternatives under
consideration, the environmental
analysis, and to provide an opportunity
for the public to submit oral and written
comments on the Draft EIS. Public
meetings will include an open house
session with informational poster
stations staffed by DoN representatives,
followed by a brief presentation by the
DoN, and a public oral comment
session. A stenographer will be
available throughout the meeting to
record oral comments from the public.
In the interest of available time, and to
ensure all who wish to provide an oral
statement to the stenographer have the
opportunity to do so, each speaker’s
comments will be limited to three
minutes. Equal weight will be given to
oral and written statements. Federal,
state, and local agencies and officials,
Native American tribes, and interested
organizations and individuals are
encouraged to provide comments in
person at the public meetings or in
writing during the public review period.
Comments may be provided at the
public meetings, by mail, and through
the project website at: https://

All comments submitted during the
public review period, oral or written,
will become part of the public record
and will be reviewed and considered in
the preparation of the Final EIS. For
consideration in the Final EIS,
comments must be postmarked or

The
Bureau of Land Management, Federal
Aviation Administration, and United
States Fish and Wildlife Service are
federal cooperating agencies for this EIS.
Additional state and county cooperating
agencies include: Nevada Department of
Wildlife, Nevada Division of Minerals,
Nevada Department of Agriculture,
Nevada Department of Transportation,
Nevada Governor’s Office of Energy,
Churchill County, Eureka County,
Lander County, Mineral County, Nye
County, and Pershing County. The DoN
is also working with thirteen federally
recognized Native American tribes and
one Tribal Council.
The FRTC is a training complex in the
high desert of northern Nevada
encompassing airspace, land ranges, and
electronic systems used primarily for air
and ground training activities. The
DoN’s proposed action is to modernize
the FRTC by expanding land ranges and
modifying associated airspace
configurations. The proposed action has
the following elements:
• Congressional renewal of the 1999
public land withdrawal of 202,864 acres
which is scheduled to expire in
November 2021.
• Withdrawal and reservation by
Congress for military use of up to
approximately 618,727 acres of
additional federal land.
• Acquisition of approximately
65,153 acres of private or state-owned
(non-federal) land.
• Expansion of associated special use
airspace and reconfiguration of existing
airspace.
• Modification of range infrastructure
to support modernization, including
construction of new targets.
The purpose of the proposed action is
to provide sustainable and modernized
airspace, range, maneuver areas,
training facilities, and range
infrastructure and resources that would
support acceptably realistic air warfare
training activities as well as special
operations ground training activities in
order to meet emergent and future
threats. The proposed action would
enable the DoN’s execution of its
congressionally mandated roles and
responsibilities under 10 United States
Code (U.S.C), section 5062 and 10
U.S.C. 167. Current range configurations
do not support realistic training.

Jkt 247001
Increasing the size of the range would
allow the DoN to realistically train with
precision-guided munitions, which
require greater safety buffer zones
because they are launched from aircraft
at higher altitudes and longer distances
from targets. It would also allow ground
forces to realistically conduct tactical
ground mobility training.
