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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act 
(NEPA) of 1969 (42 United States Code [U.S.C.] Sec. Sec.  4321-4347), 
the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) NEPA Regulations (40 Code of 
Federal Regulations [CFR] Parts 1500-1508), and the United States Air 
Force's (Air Force) Environmental Impact Analysis Process (EIAP) (32 
CFR Part 989), the Air Force is issuing this notice to advise the 
public of its intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement 
(EIS).
    The EIS will assess the potential environmental consequences of a 
proposal to define final disposition of housing units and associated 
structures known as the ``Fort Kamehameha Historic District''; an area 
on Hickam AFB, O'ahu, Hawai'i, eligible for listing on the National 
Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in accordance with Section 110(a)(2) 
of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA).
    Alternatives currently identified for evaluation would include 
various options that fall under the five categories of: adaptive-use; 
relocation; deconstruction and salvage; demolition; and the No Action 
alternative. Any Proposed Action could include a single action, or 
combination of actions, under the five categories above. Sub-actions 
under these categories may include: leasing; sale; transfer to another 
government agency; and retention by the Air Force. Compliance with the 
NHPA will be done through consultation under Section 106 of 36 CFR Part 
800.

DATES: The Air Force will hold a scoping meeting to solicit public 
input concerning the scope of the Proposed Action and alternatives, as 
well as to help identify other concerns and issues to be addressed in 
the environmental analysis.
    The scoping meeting will be held Thursday, July 8, 2008 from 5 to 8 
p.m. at the Aliamanu Elementary School, 3265 Salt Lake Boulevard, 
Honolulu, HI.

ADDRESSES: Federal, state, and local agencies, and interested groups 
and persons are invited to attend the scoping meeting. All are 
encouraged to provide comments on the proposed action either at the 
scoping meeting or by mail, postmarked by July 21, 2008 to ensure 
proper consideration in the environmental impact analyses.

further information to: Ms. Tiffany Patrick, 15 CES/CEVP NEPA Program
