[Federal Register Volume 61, Number 128 (Tuesday, July 2, 1996)] [Notices] [Page 34424] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 96-16809] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE Department of the Army Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) for Disposal of Property at the Defense Personnel Support Center (DPSC), Philadelphia, PA AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD. ACTION: Correction notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This document contains a correction to a previous notice published in the October 13, 1995, edition of the Federal Register (60 FR 53344-53345) and in subsequent advertisements published on November 9, 1995, in local media; i.e., Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Daily News, South Philadelphia Review, Defense Personnel Support Center News. In this previous notice, the Army indicated that it would, in accordance with the provisions and requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) whereby it would assess the potential direct, indirect and cumulative impacts resulting from its disposal (and, secondarily, the subsequent reuse by others) of the Defense Personnel Support Center (DPSC)--and Army-owned installation located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Nonetheless, after carefully considering the information gathered and analysis performed during the past eight months, the Army has not determined that it would be more appropriate to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the disposal and reuse of DPSC. Accordingly, to afford the public the greatest opportunity practicable to participate in the assessment of impacts and alternatives associated with the preparation of an EA for the disposal and reuse of DPSC, the Army will (although not legally required to do so) proceed as follows: (1) A draft copy of the DPSC EA will be made available to the public on Monday, July 15, 1996, at the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Passyunk Branch at 20th and Shunk Streets. (2) Comments regarding this draft EA will be accepted by Mr. John Bravo, the Base Environmental Coordinator at DPSC, DPSC-DXE, 2800 South 20th Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19145 until 5 PM daylight savings time on Monday, July 29, 1996. (3) Army representatives will host a public meeting at the Defense Personnel Support Center Auditorium on July 30, 1996, at 7 PM daylight savings time, at which meeting they will respond to comments the Army has received respecting the draft EA, and they will also solicit and respond to any other questions and comments concerning the Army's NEPA process at DPSC that members of the audience may raise at that time. Following the conclusion of the July 30, 1996, meeting, the Army will proceed with its DPSC NEPA analysis in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information regarding this environmental assessment, please contact the DPSC Project Manager, Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District, at 334-690-2725. Raymond J. Fatz, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Environment, Safety and Occupational Health) OASA (I,L&E). [FR Doc. 96-16809 Filed 7-1-96; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3710-08-M
