Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 38 / Tuesday, February 26, 2019 / Notices
Description of the No Action
Alternative: Under the No Action
Alternative, DLA would not upgrade the
Main Gate ACP at Defense Distribution
Depot, San Joaquin. The ACP
enhancements would not be provided,
and operational conditions would not
be improved. Gate 2 and the Employee
Gate would remain open. Compliance
with DoD UFCs 4–010–01 and 4–022–01
would not be met. Critical logistic and
security operations at Defense
Distribution Depot, San Joaquin would
be vulnerable to disruption and
potentially long-term denial of service,
which could have an immediate impact
on the command and control of these
operations. DLA police would continue
to use inadequate facilities to inspect
incoming light vehicles. The No Action
Alternative would not meet the purpose
of and need for the Proposed Action.
Potential Environmental Impacts: No
significant effects on environmental
resources would be expected from the
Proposed Action. Insignificant adverse
effects on noise, air quality, geological
resources, water resources, biological
resources, health and safety,
infrastructure and transportation, and
hazardous materials and wastes would
be expected. Insignificant beneficial
effects on geological resources, water
resources, health and safety,
infrastructure and transportation, and
hazardous materials and wastes would
be expected. No impacts on land use or
environmental justice would be
expected. Details of the environmental
consequences are discussed in the EA,
which is hereby incorporated by
reference.
Determination: DLA has determined
that implementation of the Proposed
Action will not have a significant effect
on the human environment. Human
environment was interpreted
comprehensively to include the natural
and physical environment and the
relationship of people with that
environment. Specifically, no highly
uncertain or controversial impacts,
unique or unknown risks, or
cumulatively significant effects were
identified. Implementation of the
Proposed Action will not violate any
federal, state, or local laws. Based on the
results of the analyses performed during
preparation of the EA and consideration
of comments received during the public
comment period, Mr. Gordon B. Hackett
III, Director, DLA Installation
Management, concludes that
implementation of the Proposed Action
at Defense Distribution Depot, San
Joaquin does not constitute a major
federal action that would significantly
affect the quality of the human
environment within the context of

NEPA. Therefore, an environmental
impact statement for the Proposed
Action is not required.

recommendations to the Secretary of
Defense regarding: i. Which countries
are not emphasized in other U.S. study
abroad programs, such as countries in
which few U.S. students are studying

countries for the purpose of 50 U.S.C.

disciplines described in 50 U.S.C.
1902(a)(1)(B) relating to the national

1902(a)(1)(C) are areas in which U.S.
students, educators, and Government

training and are, therefore, critical areas
within those disciplines for the purpose
of that section; iv. how students desiring
scholarships or fellowships can be
encouraged to work for an agency or
office of the Federal Government
involved in national security affairs or
national security policy upon
completion of their education; and v.
