The United States Department of the Navy, after carefully weighing the strategic, operational and environmental consequences of the proposed action, announces its decision to support and conduct airfield operations at Naval Air Station (NAS) Key West by accomplishing the proposed action as set out in Alternative 2. Alternative 2 will provide for the transition from legacy aircraft to next generation aircraft, alteration of existing facilities as necessary to meet requirements for next generation aircraft, and will potentially accommodate carrier air wing detachment training events should primary carrier air wing training locations on the U.S. East Coast be unavailable. Total annual airfield operations could equal up to approximately 52,000 operations.
