Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment Regarding DLA Energy's Mobility Fuel Purchasing Programs
The Defense Logistics Agency is America's combat logistics support agency responsible for sourcing and providing nearly every consumable item used by U.S. military forces worldwide. DLA Energy is a primary level field activity of DLA responsible for providing the Department of Defense and other government agencies with comprehensive energy solutions in the most effective and efficient manner possible. Its products and services offer a large array of energy related needs for the Federal Government and also help facilitate the cycle of storage and deployment of fuels and other energy sources. DLA Energy's action, to purchase mobility fuels for the Department of Defense, has not changed. However, the nature and makeup of the petroleum market has. Crude oil from Canada represents 13% of total United States consumption. The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers 2010 forecast states that by 2020 Canadian oil sands production will rise from 2.72 million barrels per day in 2009 to 4.34 million barrels per day in 2025. In addition, within the past three years, the Department of State has approved two new pipelines to transport crude oil derived from Canadian oil sands to the United States. An additional permit for a third pipeline is pending. Thus, more petroleum products derived from Canadian oil sands recovered crude may be available within the United States petroleum market. In addition, because various types of crudes are comingled prior to processing and because refined petroleum products are fungible, it is anticipated that these petroleum products produced from Canadian oil sands recovered crude will be blended with and thus indistinguishable from other petroleum products, thereby making it difficult for DLA Energy to exclude Canadian oil sands recovered crude refined petroleum from routine petroleum purchases. Therefore, DLA Energy has decided to study whether its current purchases of mobility fuels for its customers today, and in the future, would or would not have environmental consequences. DLA Energy will conduct an Environmental Assessment to evaluate the potential environmental, human health, engineering and socioeconomic considerations, including a review of lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions, associated with DLA Energy's purchase of mobility fuels, including any fuels containing Canadian oil sands recovered crude, in light of Section 526 of the EISA. The Environmental Assessment will aid DLA Energy in defining the effects of its current mobility fuels purchasing program, and determine whether a modification to this program would bring an improved environmental outcome without consequences to DLA Energy's mission to support the Warfighter with comprehensive Energy solutions in the most effective and efficient manner possible. This notice serves as an announcement of scoping. As such, comments are sought from the public, government agencies, and other interested persons and organizations. Scoping is used to gain insight into the issues to be addressed and to identify other significant issues related to the proposed actions. All comments submitted during scoping will be considered by DLA Energy. There is always the possibility that DLA Energy might proceed to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed actions instead of an Environmental Assessment. If this occurs, comments submitted now will be considered for any Environmental Impact Statement that is developed.
