AGENCY: Department of the Air Force, Department of Defense.

ACTION: Record of decision.

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

SUMMARY: On March 20, 2007, the United States Air Force signed a Record 
of Decision for the Realistic Bomber Training Initiative Supplemental 
Environmental Impact Statement. This decision was based on information, 
analysis, and public comments contained in both the Environmental 
Impact Statement for the Realistic Bomber Training Initiative (Federal 
Register Notice of Availability February 4, 2000) and the Supplemental 
Environmental Impact Statement for the Realistic Bomber Training 
Initiative (Federal Register Notice of Availability published August 
11, 2006), along with other relevant factors. After carefully 
considering the issues addressed in the Supplemental Environmental 
Impact Statement and the comments submitted, the Air Force decided not 
to change the decision described in the initial Record of Decision and 
to continue implementation of Alternative B of the Realistic Bomber 
Training Initiative. This alternative includes the use of appropriate 
training assets associated with Instrument Route IR-178/Lancer Military 
Operations Area. As indicated above, a Notice of Availability of the 
Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement was published in the 
Federal Register on August 11, 2006 (Volume 71, Number 155, Page 
46220). The required 30-day waiting period for a Record of Decision has 
been completed.
