Notice of Public Hearing for the Draft Environmental Impact 
Statement for the Realignment of Naval Training Center, Great Lakes, IL

    Pursuant to Council on Environmental Quality regulations (40 CFR 
parts 1500-1508) implementing procedural provisions of the National 
Environmental Policy Act, the Department of the Navy has prepared and 
filed with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency the Draft 
Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the realignment of Naval 
Training Center Great Lakes, Illinois.
    In response to the recommendations of the 1993 Defense Base Closure 
and Realignment Commission (BRAC-93) and to legislative requirements in 
the 1990 Base Closure and Realignment Act (Pub. L. 101-510), Naval 
Training Center (NTC) Orlando, Florida; NTC San Diego, California; 
Naval Technical Training Center (NTTC) Treasure Island; and Combat 
Systems Technical Schools Command (CSTC) Mare Island are to be closed 
and some of the Service School Command (SSC) training is to be 
realigned and collocated at NTC Great Lakes, Illinois. The proposed 
action consists of renovations to existing buildings within the SSC, 
some new construction and increases in student and instructor personnel 
over current levels. Also, 240 new family housing units are to be 
constructed at Naval Air Station Glenview, which is closing.
    The DEIS has been distributed to various federal, state, and local 
agencies, elected officials, special interest groups, and the media. A 
limited number of single copies are available at the address listed at 
the end of this notice for public review and comment. A public hearing 
to inform the public of
the DEIS findings and to solicit comments will be held on June 23, 
1994, beginning at 7 p.m., at the College of Lake County, room A162, 
19351 West Washington Street, Grayslake, Illinois.
    The public hearing will be conducted by the Navy. Federal, state, 
local agencies, and interested parties are invited and urged to be 
present or represented at the hearing. Oral statements will be heard 
and transcribed by a stenographer; however, to assure accuracy of the 
record, all statements should be submitted in writing. All statements, 
both oral and written, will become part of the public record on this 
study. Equal weight will be given to both oral and written statements.
    In the interest of available time, oral comments should not exceed 
five minutes. Longer statements should be summarized at the public 
hearing and submitted in writing either at the hearing or mailed to the 
address listed at the end of this announcement.
    All written statements must be postmarked by July 11, 1994, to 
become part of the official record.
