Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 91 / Thursday, May 9, 2024 / Notices
provide an opportunity for attendees to
learn more about the Proposed Action
and Alternative and provide an early
and open process to assist the DAF in
determining the scope of issues for
analysis in the EIS, including
identifying significant environmental
issues and eliminating from further
study non-significant issues. Project
team members will be available to
answer questions and there will also be
an opportunity to provide written
comments. Scoping meeting notification
and scoping materials will be provided
in English and Spanish.
The Notice of Availability (NOA) of
the Draft EIS is anticipated in the late
Fall of 2024 and the NOA for the Final
EIS is anticipated in the Summer of
2025. A decision could be made no
earlier than 30 days after the Final EIS.
ADDRESSES: The project website
(www.492sow-beddown-eis.com)
provides information related to the EIS,
such as environmental documents,
schedule, and project details, as well as
a comment form. Comments may be
submitted via the website comment
form, emailed to afcec.czn.nepacenter@
us.af.mil, or mailed to 492 SOW
Beddown EIS, 13397 Lakefront Drive;
Suite 100 Earth City, MO 63045.
Members of the public who want to
receive future mailings informing them
of the availability of the Draft EIS and
Final EIS are encouraged to submit a
comment that includes their name and
email or postal mailing address. For
other inquiries, please contact Mr. Nick
Post, NEPA Project Manager at
afcec.czn.nepacenter@us.af.mil or 1–
210–925–3516.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
purpose for the DAF’s Proposed Action
is to create co-located AFSOC and ACC
units that have the resources required to
optimize the DAF special operations
and special warfare forces to support the
National Defense Strategy (NDS) while
maximizing AFSOC’s capabilities as a
power projection wing that provides
United States Special Operations
Command and combatant commands
specialized airpower against the entire
range of threats to the United States and
our allies/partners. The need for the
proposed action stems from 2023
AFSOC strategic guidance, which aligns
with the 2022 NDS. The strategic
guidance emphasizes that the AFSOC
mission is to enable the joint force by
delivering AFSOC mission capabilities
across the spectrum of competition and
conflict. A new IS, as a geographically
separated unit under ACC’s 361 ISRG, is
needed to continue to provide ACC
direct support to the AFSOC mission.
As AFSOC aircraft relocate to Davis-
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:17 May 08, 2024
Jkt 262001
Monthan AFB, Arizona, the ACC
cryptologic operators, analysts, and
mission support personnel that
currently support those aircraft and
missions would need to remain colocated. The unique capabilities of the
ACC IS would be critical to the success
of the 492 SOW mission. This action is
needed because the global security
environment has fundamentally
changed. In response to the changing
nature of threats to the United States,
AFSOC needs to accelerate
transformation to properly prepare,
prevent, and prevail against any
adversary in today’s complex and
uncertain operational environment.
The DAF has identified a Proposed
Action Alternative and the No Action
Alternative to be carried forward for
analysis in the EIS. Under the Proposed
Action, the DAF would transform the
492 SOW into an AFSOC’s PPW at
Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona. This
PPW would include the 492 SOW, the
6th and 319th Special Operations
Squadrons, an MC–130J squadron,
activation of an IS as a geographically
separated unit under the ACC 361 ISRG,
and Special Tactics and Special
Operations Theater Air Operations
Squadrons. The Proposed Action would
include the construction, renovation
and demolition of facilities at DavisMonthan AFB, as necessary to support
the 492 SOW beddown. AFSOC
aircrews would use airspace over areas
in Southern Arizona and Southern New
Mexico including special use airspace.
No new special use airspace would be
created and there would be no
modifications to existing special use
airspace as part of the Proposed Action
Alternative.
Under the No Action Alternative, the
492 SOW beddown would not occur at
Davis-Monthan AFB and there would be
no new AFSOC mission personnel or
ACC IS personnel at Davis Monthan
AFB.
Potential impacts may include
impacts to land use, airspace
management, safety, noise, hazardous
materials and waste, physical resources
(including soil and water resources), air
quality, transportation, socioeconomics,
and environmental justice as well as
potential impacts to cultural and
biological resources due to ground
disturbing activities.
Potential permits that could be
required include, but are not limited to,
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act,
Clean Air Act, General Construction,
and a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System permit.
Scoping and Agency Coordination:
Consultation will include, but not
necessarily be limited to, consultation

under Section 7 of the Endangered
Species Act and consultation under
Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act, to include
consultation with federally recognized
Native American Tribes. The DAF will
determine the scope of the analysis by
soliciting comments from interested
local, state, and federally elected
officials and agencies, federally
recognized Native American tribes, as
well as interested members of the
public. Comments are requested on
identification of potential alternatives,
information, and analyses relevant to
the Proposed Action.
