Notice of Availability of a Finding of No Significant Impact 
(FONSI) for the Transfer of Wake to Other Federal Agencies

    The U.S. Air Force is proposing the transfer of Wake Island 
Airfield (WIA) to other federal agencies in accordance with the 
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Council on Environmental 
Quality regulations implementing NEPA, the Department of Defense 
Directive (DOD) 6050.1 and Air Force Regulation (AFR) 19-2. These 
directives require the U.S. Air Force (USAF) to consider environmental 
consequences when authorizing or approving federal actions.
    The USAF has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) analyzing 
the potential environmental consequences of the proposed transfer of 
civil administration authority for WIA from the USAF to other federal 
agencies, and the planned future uses of WIA by the recipient agencies.
    On the basis of the EA, we conclude the implementation of the 
proposed action or any of the alternatives will not have a significant 
effect on the quality of the environment at WIA and, as a result, an 
Environmental Impact Statement is not warranted.
    Comments on this FONSI must be received on or before September 15, 
1994 and may be addressed to Capt William Cronin, 15 CES/CEVP, 75 H 
Street, Hickam AFB HI 96853-5328, Telephone (808) 449-7514.
    Documents are available for public review at Hawaii State 
University, 478 South King, Honolulu, HI, 96813, Telephone (808) 586-
3500.
