SUMMARY: On September 17, 2010, the United States Air Force signed the 
ROD for the 2005 Base Closure and Realignment (BRAC 2005) directed 
Beddown and Flight Operations of Remotely Piloted Aircraft at Grand 
Forks AFB, North Dakota. The ROD states the Air Force decision to 
implement the mitigated preferred alternative (Alternative C--Southern 
Restricted Area Creation, Ground-Based Improvements and Personnel 
Changes--Airspace Scenario 2).
    The decision was based on matters discussed in the Final 
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the BRAC Beddown and Flight 
Operations of Remotely Piloted Aircraft at Grand Forks AFB, North 
Dakota, inputs from the public and regulatory agencies, and other 
relevant factors. The Final EIS was made available to the public on 
July 23, 2010 through a NOA in the Federal Register (Volume 75, Number 
141, Page 43161) with a wait period that ended on August 23, 2010. The 
ROD documents only the decision of the Air Force with respect to the 
proposed Air Force actions analyzed in the Final EIS. Authority: This 
NOA is published pursuant to the regulations (40 CFR 1506.6) 
implementing the provisions of the NEPA of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321, et 
seq.) and the Air Force's Environmental Impact Analysis Process (EIAP) 
(32 CFR 989.21(b) and 989.24(b)(7))
