Department of the Navy November 25, 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department of the Navy (DON) pursuant to section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, 42 United States Code (U.S.C.) 4332(2)(c), and the Council on Environmental Quality regulations (40 CFR parts 1500-1508), announces its decision to dispose of Naval Station Treasure Island (NSTI), which includes both Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island. NSTI is located midway between the shores of the cities of San Francisco and Oakland. The disposal of NSTI will be accomplished in a manner that will allow the Treasure Island Development Authority (TIDA), the redevelopment authority established by the State of California and recognized by DoD, to reuse the property as set out in Alternative 1, described in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) as the preferred alternative. The decision by DON to dispose of the property in a manner that allows TIDA to reuse the property as described in the preferred alternative does not make the DON responsible for any obligation or commitment, fiscal or other, made by TIDA to the State of California or to third parties. Obligations or commitments made by TIDA in the course of developing its redevelopment plan, or in obtaining approval of the redevelopment plan from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), remain the responsibility of TIDA.
