EIS and can be used to submit scoping
comments. Scoping comments can also
be submitted to Mountain Home AFB
Airspace EIS, c/o Leidos, 1740 East
Fairview Ave., PMB 20, Meridian, ID
83642.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Mountain
Home AFB managed airspace consists of
six Military Operations Areas (MOAs)
with airspace over portions of Idaho,
Nevada, and Oregon and two USAF
ranges in Idaho for inert weapons
deployment. The Jarbidge North and
Owyhee North MOAs have operational
floors at 100 feet above ground level
(AGL). The other four MOAs (Jarbidge
South, Owyhee South, Paradise North,
and Paradise South) have operational
floors at 10,000 feet mean sea level
(MSL) or 3,000 feet AGL, whichever is
higher. Supersonic aircraft flights are
permitted above 30,000 feet MSL within
all the MOAs except over the Duck
Valley Indian Reservation. Supersonic
events above 10,000 feet AGL are
permitted only in the Jarbidge North
and Owyhee North MOAs.
Modifying this airspace will allow the
USAF to provide a more realistic and
efficient airspace training environment
and improve aircrew proficiency in lowaltitude tactics and radar masking using
mountainous terrain for survival in a
highly contested environment. The
proposed airspace changes include: (1)
changing low-altitude operational
airspace floors that currently prohibit
realistic low-altitude training (LOWAT)
certification and maintenance training
and negatively impact vertical
capability and capacity, (2) providing
consistent low-level operational floors
for low-altitude flights to allow use of
topographic features of mountainous
terrain to mask the aircraft and safely
neutralize or avoid technologically
advanced threats, and (3) allowing
aircrews to descend at supersonic speed
and to fly at lower supersonic altitudes
so they can realistically train on evasive
maneuvers.
While only a small portion of overall
flights, any low-altitude operations
would be subject to specific limitations;
however, these operations are essential
for training and mission completion.
Alternatives that address the training
requirements will be defined as
reasonable alternatives for analysis in
the EIS. The analysis will also include
the No Action Alternative which
provides a benchmark to enable USAF
decision-makers to compare the
magnitude of the potential
environmental effects of the Proposed
Action. The Federal Aviation
Administration is a Cooperating Agency
for this EIS.

Scoping and Agency Coordination: To
effectively define the full range of issues
to be evaluated in the EIS, the USAF
will solicit written comments from
interested local, state, and federal
agencies and elected officials, Native
American tribes, interested members of
the public, and others. Public scoping
meetings will be held in the local
communities beneath or adjacent to the
airspace. The scheduled dates, times,
locations, and addresses for the public
scoping meetings are concurrently being
published in local media.
