Number: Defense Biometric
Identification Records System; OMB
Control Number 0702–0127.
Needs and Uses: The DoD Automated
Biometric Identification System (ABIS)
is an authoritative biometrics data
repository that processes, matches, and
stores biometric identity information
data, collected by global U.S. forces,
during the course of military operations.
Biometric data may also be collected for
use in field identification and recovery
of persons, or their physical remains,
who have been captured, detained,
missing, prisoners of war (POW), or
personnel recovered from hostile
control. The information processed by
DoD ABIS (biometric, biographic,
behavioral, and contextual data) is
collected by DoD military personnel
worldwide using hand-held biometric
collection devices across the full range
of military operations for DoD
warfighting, intelligence, law
enforcement, security, force protection,
base access, homeland defense,
counterterrorism, business enterprise
purposes, and also in information
environment mission areas. It also
includes biometric data from
individuals collected from interagency
or foreign partners’ data repositories.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Annual Burden Hours: 201,872.917.
Number of Respondents: 2,422,475.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 2,422,475.
Average Burden per Response: 5
minutes.
Frequency: As Required.
The information collected and
processed by DoD ABIS is shared,
accessed, and leveraged by DoD
partners, U.S. Government inter-agency
agency and departmental stakeholders,
and approved multi-national partners,
such as the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI), Department of
Homeland Security (DHS), and Office of
the Director of National Intelligence
(ODNI) for intelligence,
counterterrorism, military force
protection, national security, and law
enforcement purposes. DoD provides
collected and processed information to
the FBI/Terrorist Screening Center
(TSC) to place individuals on National

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Office of the Secretary
Notice of Availability of the Final
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Long Range Discrimination Radar
Operations at Clear Air Force Station,
Alaska
Missile Defense Agency,
Department of Defense (DoD).
ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
The Missile Defense Agency
(MDA), as the lead agency, announces
the availability of the Final
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the Long Range Discrimination
Radar (LRDR) located at Clear Air Force
Station (CAFS), Alaska. The Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) and the
Department of the Air Force (DAF) are
cooperating agencies to this Final EIS.
DATES: MDA will not issue a final
decision on the proposed action for a
minimum of 30 days after the date that
the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) publishes
its Notice of Availability (NOA) in the
Federal Register.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Ryan Keith, MDA Public Affairs, at 256–
450–1599 or by email: lrdr.info@
mda.mil. The Final EIS for the Long
Range Discrimination Radar Operations
at Clear Air Force Station, Alaska is
available online at the MDA’s website
at: https://www.mda.mil/system/lrdr.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of Defense’s NOA (85 FR
68314) for the Draft EIS was published
in the Federal Register on October 28,
2020, and the USEPA’s NOA (ER–FRL–
9053–6) for the Draft EIS was published
in the Federal Register on October 30,
2020, which provided notice that the
Draft EIS was available for comment
from October 30, 2020 to December 21,
2020.
MDA hosted a telephone public
meeting, December 2, 2020, and an

online open house to share information
about the proposed action and
alternatives and allow the public to
provide comments and ask questions.
Additionally, the public was able to
submit comments by facsimile, postal
mail, or via a project email address.
MDA received comments on the Draft
EIS from ten individuals or
organizations, one of which commented
twice. Commenters requested changes to
the proposed Restricted Areas, more
information about communication
methods if Restricted Areas are
activated at unscheduled times, and
mitigation for climate change and air
quality. Comments on the Draft EIS
were considered and incorporated as
appropriate into the Final EIS.
Comments resulted in the addition of
clarifying text and an update to the
impacts to airspace based on
information presented during the FAA
Safety Risk Management Panel’s
analysis. However, these changes did
not significantly change the alternatives
or analysis presented in the EIS.
Background: In response to the
Congressional mandate to deploy the
LRDR, MDA completed a siting analysis
for the LRDR, which selected CAFS out
of 50 candidate Department of Defense
installations in Alaska. In June 2016,
MDA and DAF prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA), to
evaluate the potential environmental
impacts associated with the
construction and operation of the LRDR
at CAFS. The 2016 EA resulted in a
Finding of No Significant Impact, and
construction of the LRDR began in July
2017.
Since that time, due to emerging
threats, MDA proposes to modify the
LRDR operational requirements and
procedures to reflect continuous
operations. Due to the proposed changes
to LRDR operations, airspace
restrictions at CAFS are necessary to
ensure that aircraft would not encounter
high intensity radiation fields (HIRF)
resulting from the LRDR operations that
exceed FAA’s HIRF certification
standards for aircraft electrical and
electronic systems. The proposed
airspace restrictions include expanding
the existing Restricted Area (R–2206) at
CAFS by adding six new Restricted
Areas. The preferred alternative is to
operate the LRDR continuously under
the changed operational concept and to
implement the associated proposed
airspace restrictions as described in the
Proposed Action analyzed in the Final
EIS.
The EIS also analyzes the No Action
Alternative. Under the No Action
Alternative, the LRDR would be
operated in a manner that would
