Notice of Redesignation of Environmental Impact Statement as 
Environmental Assessment

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DOD.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Navy's intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement 
is hereby withdrawn for the following action: Disposal and Reuse of 
Naval Air Station (NAS) Dallas, Texas. Pursuant to Section 102(2)(C) of 
the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as implemented by 
the Council on Environmental Quality regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500-
1508), the Department of the Navy published a Notice of Intent to 
prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the Disposal and Reuse of 
Naval Air Station Dallas, Texas, in the Federal Register on May 18, 
1994. The Notice of Availability for the Draft EIS (DEIS) was published 
in the Federal Register on July 14, 1995. The DEIS was distributed to 
various federal, state, and local agencies, elected officials, special 
interest groups, interested individuals, and the media.
    During the preparation of the Final EIS, there was a change to the 
amount of property being disposed of through surplus. The amount of 
property subject to NEPA under the BRAC process is now only a small 
portion of the total base property, and proposed reuse appears to have 
no significant impacts. This notice announces to the public that this 
Environmental Impact Statement has been redesignated as an 
Environmental Assessment (EA).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Laurens Pitts, Southern Division, 
Naval Facilities Engineering Command, at telephone (843)820-5893, fax 
(843)820-7472, or e-mail: [email protected].

    Dated: July 7, 1999.
Ralph W. Corey,
Commander, Judge Advocate General's Corps, U.S. Navy, Alternate Federal 
Register Liaison Officer.
