Fourth Supplemental Record of Decision (FSROD) for the Disposal 
and Reuse of Grissom Air Force Base (AFB), Indiana

    On July 14, 2000, the Air Force issued the Fourth Supplemental 
Record of Decision (FSROD) for the Disposal and Reuse of Grissom AFB, 
Indiana. The decision included in this FSROD has been made in 
consideration of, but not limited to, the information contained in the 
Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the disposal and reuse 
of Grissom AFB, filed with the Environmental Protection Agency and made 
available to the public on September 6, 1994.
    Grissom AFB closed on September 30, 1994, pursuant to the Defense 
Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (10 U.S.C. 2687 note) and the 
recommendations of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission. 
The FEIS analyzed potential environmental impacts of the Air Force's 
disposal options by portraying a variety of potential land uses to 
cover a range of reasonably foreseeable future uses of the property and 
facilities by others.
    The Air Force issued a ROD on October 11, 1994 and Supplemental 
RODs on June 30, 1997, April 14, 1998, and August 13, 1999, that 
documented decisions regarding the intended disposal of Government-
owned property at the base. Since the issuance of the ROD and the 
Supplemental RODs, changing governmental priorities and economic 
situations have required a modification to the following Air Force 
disposal decisions: Parcel 01 (Electrical Distribution System, 
including approximately 1 acre of land) and 06 (Gas Distribution 
System) are made available for disposal by Economic Disposal Conveyance 
(EDC) rather than negotiated sale to utility companies.
    The implementation of these conversion activities and associated 
environmental mitigation measures will proceed with minimal adverse 
impact to the environment. This action conforms with applicable 
Federal, State and local statutes and regulations, and all reasonable 
and practical efforts have been incorporated to minimize harm to the 
local public and the environment. The analyses contained in the FEIS 
are still valid. Any questions regarding this matter may be directed to 
Mr. John J. Corradetti, Jr., Program Manager, Division A, at 703-696-
5250. Correspondence should be sent to AFBCA/DA, 1700 North Moore 
Street, Suite 2300, Arlington, VA 22209-2802.

Janet A. Long,
Air Force Federal Register Liaison Officer.
