Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for 
Basing F-35a Operational Aircraft

AGENCY: United States Air Force, Air Combat Command and Air National 
Guard, DOD.

ACTION: Revised notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The United States Air Force published a Notice of Intent to 
prepare an EIS in the Federal Register (Vol. 74, No. 249, page 69080) 
on Dec. 30, 2009. Due to scheduling conflicts, scoping meetings 
originally proposed to be held January 11-14, 2010 in Idaho will now be 
held February 16-19, 2010. The Brunswick, Georgia meeting will be held 
during the week of February 8-12, 2010. Meeting locations remain the 
same. All other meeting dates remain the same. The original Notice of 
Intent identified that potential environmental impacts at Shaw AFB/
McEntire JNGB would be analyzed for no action and in increments of 24 
primary assigned aircraft (PAA), up to a total of 72 PAA. The revised 
description of the alternative is as follows, ``Shaw AFB/McEntire JNGB 
would be analyzed for no action and in increments of 24 PAA, up to a 
total of 96 PAA.'' This revised Notice of Intent has been prepared to 
notify the public of these changes.

DATES: The Air Force intends to hold scoping meetings in the following 
communities: January 19-22, 2010 Ogden, Layton, Callao Utah; Wendover 
Nevada; January 25-28, 2010 Winooski, Vermont; Littleton, New 
Hampshire; Watertown, New York; February 1-4, 2010 Sumter, Eastover, 
and Kingstree, South Carolina; and Augusta, Georgia; February 8-12, 
2010 Brunswick, Georgia; Jacksonville, Avon Park, Lake Wales and 
Palatka Florida; February 16-19, 2010 Grand View, Twin Falls, Boise, 
and Mt. Home, Idaho. The scheduled dates, times, locations and 
addresses for the meetings will be published in local media a minimum 
of 15 days prior to the scoping meetings. All meetings will be held 
from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
    Comments will be accepted at any time during the environmental 
impact analysis process. However, to ensure the Air Force has 
sufficient time to consider public input in the preparation of the 
Draft EIS, comments should be submitted to the address below by March 
1, 2010.
