DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Office of the Secretary
Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the Long Range Discrimination
Radar (LRDR) at Clear Air Force
Station (CAFS)
Missile Defense Agency,
Department of Defense.
ACTION: Notice of intent.
AGENCY:
The Missile Defense Agency
(MDA) announces its intention to
prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) in accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) of 1969 and the Council on
Environmental Quality Regulations for
Implementing the Procedural Provisions
of NEPA. MDA began construction of
the LRDR following a 2016
Environmental Assessment (EA) and
Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI). Due to threat evolution,
operational requirements have created
the need to expand the current Special
Use Airspace (SUA) at Clear Air Force
Station (AFS) to protect nearby aircraft.
Several potential designs of the
additional SUA have been developed.
The MDA is preparing this EIS to
evaluate potential environmental
impacts that could result from the LRDR
SUA alternatives. The Department of
Defense has not selected a preferred
alternative for the proposed SUA.
DATES: Scoping meetings will be held in
the Alaskan communities of Anderson,
Fairbanks and Anchorage during June
2019. Notification of the meeting
locations, dates, and times will be
published and announced in local news
media prior to public scoping meetings.
The MDA invites public comments on
the scope of the LRDR EIS during a 30day public scoping period beginning
with publication of this notice in the
Federal Register. Comments will be
accepted on or before June 17, 2019.
ADDRESSES: Written comments,
statements, and/or concerns regarding
the scope of the EIS or requests to be
added to the EIS distribution list should
be addressed to MDA CAFS EIS and
sent by email to info@cleareis.com, by
facsimile 907–644–2022, or by U.S.

mda.info@mda.mil. Additional
information can be found at MDA’s
website: https://www.mda.mil/news/
nepa_documents.html.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with 40 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) 1501.6, cooperating
agencies for consultation, review, and
comment on the EIS include the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) and U.S.
Air Force (USAF). Other cooperating
agencies may be identified during the
scoping process.
An initial EA was prepared in April
2016 and resulted in a FONSI in June
2016 to support the construction and
operation of the LRDR. A detailed
analysis of all resource categories was
assessed in the EA. Since that time, the
adversary threat evaluation has evolved
requiring changes to the LRDR’s plans
for operation, which in turn required
MDA to reexamine the LRDR’s
operational tempo and battlespace
coverage. To meet these more
challenging requirements, LRDR
operational and system procedures were
adapted, resulting in expanded
requirements for a Special Use Airspace
(SUA) at CAFS that will provide
continual protection for aircraft from
LRDR High Intensity Radiated Fields
(HIRF).
Restricted Area R–2206 is currently in
effect at CAFS. Designed and
implemented over 50 years ago to
support the original Ballistic Missile
Early Warning System (BMEWS) and its
replacement, the Upgraded Early
Warning Radar (UEWR), R–2206 will no
longer be sufficient to protect aircraft
from HIRF levels that will be generated
by the more powerful LRDR in its
expanded role discussed in this notice.
Alternative designs for the additional
Restricted Area have been developed.
The EIS will analyze potential
environmental impacts from each
alternative. Our preliminary indications
are that the majority of impacts will be
in the areas of socioeconomics and
airspace. However, to the extent these
impacts differ from those analyzed in
the 2016 EA, we will analyze them in
this EIS process.

rule-making process and meet National
Historic Preservation Act requirements,
including Section 106 Consultation.
The MDA encourages all interested
members of the public, as well as
federal, state, tribal and local agencies,
to participate in the scoping process for
the preparation of this EIS. The scoping
process assists in determining the scope
of issues to be addressed and helps
identify significant environmental
issues to be analyzed in-depth in the
EIS.

[Docket No. CP19–118–000]
Trans-foreland Pipeline Company,
LLC; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Kenai LNG Cool Down
Project and Request for Comments on
Environmental Issues
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an
environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of
the proposed Kenai LNG Cool Down
Project involving construction and
operation of facilities by Trans-foreland
Pipeline Company, LLC (Trans-foreland)
near Nikiski in the Kenai Peninsula
Borough, Alaska. The Commission will
use this EA in its decision-making
process to determine whether the
project is in the public interest.
This notice announces the opening of
the scoping process the Commission
will use to gather input from the public
and interested agencies about issues
regarding the project. The National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
requires the Commission to take into
account the environmental impacts that
could result from its action whenever it
considers the issuance of an
authorization. NEPA also requires the
Commission to discover concerns the
public may have about proposals. This
process is referred to as ‘‘scoping.’’ The
main goal of the scoping process is to
focus the analysis in the EA on the
important environmental issues. By this
notice, the Commission requests public
comments on the scope of the issues to
address in the EA. To ensure that your
comments are timely and properly
recorded, please submit your comments
so that the Commission receives them in
Washington, DC on or before 5:00 p.m.
Eastern Time on June 12, 2019.
You can make a difference by
submitting your specific comments or
concerns about the project. Your
comments should focus on the potential
environmental effects, reasonable
alternatives, and measures to avoid or
lessen environmental impacts. Your
