Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the 
Disposal and Reuse of Ontario Air National Guard Station, Ontario, CA

    The United States Air Force (Air Force) is issuing this notice to 
advise the public that the Air Force intends to prepare an 
Environmental Assessment (EA) to assess the potential environmental 
impacts of disposal and reuse of Ontario Air National Guard Station 
(ANGS), Ontario, California.
    The EA will address the potential environmental impact of disposal 
of the property to public or private entities, as well as the potential 
environmental impact of all reasonable reuse alternatives.
    To provide a forum for public officials and the community to 
provide information and comments, a scoping meeting will be held in 
Ontario, California, on May 2, 1996, and the scoping period will extend 
to 31 May 1996. Notice of the time and location of this meeting will be 
provided at a later date, and publicized in the community. The purpose 
of this meeting is to help identify issues that need to be assessed and 
discussed in the EA. During this meeting, the Air Force will discuss 
the proposal to dispose of Ontario ANGS, describe the process involved 
in preparing an EA, and ask for help in identifying alternative uses 
for Ontario ANGS and any significant environmental impacts that may 
result from its disposal by the Air Force. In soliciting disposal and 
reuse alternatives, the Air Force will consider all reasonable 
alternatives offered by any federal, state, or local government agency, 
and any federally-sponsored or private entity or individual.
    To ensure sufficient time to adequately consider public comments 
concerning environmental issues and disposal and reuse alternatives to 
be included in the EA, the Air Force recommends that comments and reuse 
proposals be presented at the upcoming scoping meeting or forwarded to 
the address listed below at the earliest possible date. The Air Force 
will, however, accept additional comments at any time during the 
environmental impact analysis process.
    Please direct written comments or requests for further information 
concerning the Ontario ANGS disposal and reuse EA to: Mr. George 
Gauger, AFCEE/ECM, 3207 North Road, Brooks AFB, TX 78235-5363, 210/536-
6545 or 210/536-3839.

Air Force Federal Register Liaison Officer.
