Arizona

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of availability (NOA).

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

SUMMARY: This announces the availability of the Draft Environmental 
Impact Statement (DEIS) which assesses the potential environmental 
impacts of the approval of updates to three components of the Fort 
Huachuca Real Property Master Plan, and the authorization of the steps 
leading to project implementation. The proposed action includes 
approval of updates to the Long-Range Component, the Short-Range 
Component, and the Capital Investment Strategy of the installation Real 
Property Master Plan, which will be used to guide real property and 
facilities management at Fort Huachuca.
    The alternatives to the proposed action considered in this DEIS are 
No-Action (continuation of current management conditions) and the Long-
Range alternative to the proposed action which consists of approving 
the Long-Range Component update but not the Short-Range Component and 
Capital Investment Strategy updates. Overall, under the proposed 
action, no significant environmental impacts to cultural resources, air 
quality, noise, geology and soils, hydrology and water resources, 
biological resources (including federally listed threatened and 
endangered species and critical habitat), energy, waste management, or 
transportation are anticipated.

DATES: The public comment period for the DEIS will end 45 days after 
publication of the NOA in the Federal Register by the U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency.
