2005 Base Closure and Realignment (BRAC) Recommendations for the 
Joint Strike Fighter Initial Joint Training Site at Eglin Air Force 
Base, FL

ACTION: Record of Decision (ROD).

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

SUMMARY: On February 5, 2009, the United States Air Force signed the 
ROD for the implementation of the BRAC 2005 recommendations for the 
Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) Initial Joint Training Site (IJTS) at Eglin 
Air Force Base (AFB), Florida. The ROD states the Air Force decision to 
implement portions of the Alternative 1 cantonment and Alternative 1 
flight training action alternatives, by allowing delivery of 59 
aircraft, associated cantonment construction, and limiting flight 
training operations until a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement 
(EIS) is completed. The decision was based on matters discussed in the 
Final EIS, inputs from the public and regulatory agencies, and other 
relevant factors. On October 17, 2008 the Final EIS Notice of 
Availability was published in the Federal Register (Volume 73, Number 
202, Page 61859) with the waiting period for signing the ROD ending on 
November 17, 2008.
