Notice of Intent To Prepare a Draft Environmental Impact 
Statement (DEIS) for the Installation Operations and Master Plan 
Update, U.S. Army Aviation Center (USAAC) and Fort Rucker, Fort Rucker, 
Alabama

AGENCY: Department of Army, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of Intent.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The United States Army proposes to prepare a Draft 
Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for changes to the operation and 
ongoing mission of the U.S. Army Aviation Center and Fort Rucker, 
Alabama. The DEIS will identify and evaluate the environmental, social, 
and economic aspects of the installation operation, master planned 
component plans and their alternatives for the proposed changes to the 
ongoing mission and training activities of the USAAC and Fort Rucker. 
Alternatives to be evaluated include:
    a. No action. Installation ongoing operations, development and 
training would continue at current levels.
    b. Master plan and component plans would be implemented and current 
operations, development and training levels would be maintained. 
Construction listed in the master plan would be implemented.
    c. Master plan and component plans would be revised and expanded to 
support new and changing missions. Operations, development and training 
programs may be expanded. Construction above the level outlined in the 
master plan would be implemented as necessary to meet total 
requirements.
    The U.S. Army will conduct scoping meetings on or near Fort Rucker. 
As soon as dates and locations of the scoping meetings have been 
established, they will be published in local newspapers. The purpose of 
the meetings will be to gather information from the public about the 
issue they would like to see addressed in the DEIS. Comments may be 
made orally or in writing at the meetings.
