The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Honolulu District; U.S. EPA, Region 9; and the National Marine Fisheries Service, Pacific Islands Regional Office are cooperating agencies. PHNSY & IMF’s mission is to repair, maintain, and modernize DoN fastattack submarines and surface ships. The purpose of the proposed action is to provide appropriate dry dock capability at PHNSY & IMF no later than January 2028 to meet submarine depot maintenance mission requirements, as well as build and operate a properly sized and configured WPF to enable efficient submarine maintenance. The proposed action is needed because the existing DD3 at PHNSY & IMF does not have the necessary length or floor strength to accommodate current and future class fast-attack submarines. Additionally, an appropriately sized and adjacent WPF is needed to reduce lost operational days by increasing collaboration and efficiency among the workforce. The culmination of a replacement DD and new WPF will ensure that the Navy achieves necessary efficiencies and is capable of fulfilling scheduled maintenance requirements. The mission need date of January 2028 is driven by current projected Fleet maintenance schedules. The DoN is considering four action alternatives that meet the purpose of and need for the proposed action, as well as a no action alternative. Under the No Action Alternative, Alternative 1, there would be no change from the status quo. Action alternatives are differentiated by the location of the WPF relative to a new dry dock (east or west), whether the WPF serves only that dry dock (single support concept) or has capability to serve more than one dry dock (multiple support concept), and whether the dry dock is covered or uncovered. In the EIS, the DoN analyzes potential environmental impacts of the different alternatives. Additionally, the DoN will conduct all coordination and consultation activities required by the National Historic Preservation Act, the Endangered Species Act, the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the Clean Water Act, and other laws and regulations determined to be applicable lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:50 Feb 03, 2022 Jkt 256001 to the project.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice of Intent to prepare this EIS was 
published in the Federal Register on September 15, 2020 (Federal 
Register (FR) Doc 2020-19961) with a correction on September 18, 2020. 
The DoN's coaction proponents for this EIS are JBPHH and Naval 
Facilities Engineering Systems Command Program Management Office 555. 
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Honolulu District; U.S. EPA, Region 
9; and the National Marine Fisheries Service, Pacific Islands Regional 
Office are cooperating agencies.
    PHNSY & IMF's mission is to repair, maintain, and modernize DoN 
fast-attack submarines and surface ships. The purpose of the proposed 
action is to provide appropriate dry dock capability at PHNSY & IMF no 
later than January 2028 to meet submarine depot maintenance mission 
requirements, as well as build and operate a properly sized and 
configured WPF to enable efficient submarine maintenance. The proposed 
action is needed because the existing DD3 at PHNSY & IMF does not have 
the necessary length or floor strength to accommodate current and 
future class fast-attack submarines. Additionally, an appropriately 
sized and adjacent WPF is needed to reduce lost operational days by 
increasing collaboration and efficiency among the workforce. The 
culmination of a replacement DD and new WPF will ensure that the Navy 
achieves necessary efficiencies and is capable of fulfilling scheduled 
maintenance requirements. The mission need date of January 2028 is 
driven by current projected Fleet maintenance schedules.
    The DoN is considering four action alternatives that meet the 
purpose of and need for the proposed action, as well as a no action 
alternative. Under the No Action Alternative, Alternative 1, there 
would be no change from the status quo. Action alternatives are 
differentiated by the location of the WPF relative to a new dry dock 
(east or west), whether the WPF serves only that dry dock (single 
support concept) or has capability to serve more than one dry dock 
(multiple support concept), and whether the dry dock is covered or 
uncovered.
    In the EIS, the DoN analyzes potential environmental impacts of the 
different alternatives. Additionally, the DoN will conduct all 
coordination and consultation activities required by the National 
Historic Preservation Act, the Endangered Species Act, the 
Magnuson[hyphen]Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the

applicable to the project. The DoN will implement mitigation and 
monitoring measures to avoid or reduce environmental impacts, as 
determined in cooperation with the appropriate regulatory agencies and 
consulting parties.
    The DoN distributed the Draft EIS to federal agencies and Native 
Hawaiian Organizations with which the DoN is consulting and to other 
stakeholders. The DoN provided press releases to the local newspapers 
and distributed letters and postcards to stakeholders, Native Hawaiian 
Organizations, and other interested parties. Copies of the Draft EIS
