The United States Air Force signed the Record of Decision for the F-35A Operational BeddownPacific, for the Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska Supplemental Final Environmental Impact Statement on December 19, 2017. The Record of Decision reflects the Air Force decision to implement the three Proposed Action Alternatives: provide additional stormwater runoff control; develop equipment and material laydown areas; and provide additional heat, water, and power to the South Loop. The decision was based on matters discussed in the F-35A Operational BeddownPacific, Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement, contributions from the public and regulatory agencies, and other relevant factors. The Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement was made available to the public on October 6, 2017 through a Notice of Availability published in the Federal Register (82 FR 46808) with a 30-day wait period that ended on November 6, 2017. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Hamid Kamalpour, AFCEC/CZN, 2261 Hughes Ave, Ste 155, JBSA Lackland, TX 78236, ph: 210-925-2738.

The Department of Defense (DoD) is publishing this semiannual agenda of regulatory documents, including those that are procurement- related, for public information and comments under Executive Order 12866 ``Regulatory Planning and Review.'' This agenda incorporates the objective and criteria, when applicable, of the regulatory reform program under the Executive order and other regulatory guidance. It contains DoD regulations initiated by DoD components that may have economic and environmental impact on State, local, or tribal interests under the criteria of Executive Order 12866. Although most DoD regulations listed in the agenda are of limited public impact, their nature may be of public interest and, therefore, are published to provide notice of rulemaking and an opportunity for public participation in the internal DoD rulemaking process. Members of the public may submit comments on individual proposed and interim final rulemakings at www.regulations.gov during the comment period that follows publication in the Federal Register. This agenda updates the report published on August 24, 2017, and includes regulations expected to be issued and under review over the next 12 months. The next agenda is scheduled to be published in the spring of 2018. The complete Unified Agenda will be available online at www.reginfo.gov. Because publication in the Federal Register is mandated for the regulatory flexibility agendas required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 602), the Department of Defense's printed agenda entries include only: (1) Rules that are in the Agency's regulatory flexibility agenda, in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, because they are likely to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities; and (2) any rules that the Agency has identified for periodic review under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. Printing of these entries is limited to fields that contain information required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act's agenda requirements. Additional information on these entries is in the Unified Agenda available online.
