Finding of No Significant Impact and Final Programmatic 
Environmental Assessment for Army 2020 Force Structure Realignment

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of Availability.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of the Army announces the availability of the 
Finding of No Significant Impact (FNSI) for implementation of force 
structure realignment to reduce the Army active duty end-strength from 
562,000 at the end of Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 to 490,000 by FY 2020. 
After reviewing the Final Programmatic Environmental Assessment for 
Army 2020 Force Structure Realignment (PEA), supporting studies, and 
comments received during the public review period, the Deputy Chief of 
Staff of the Army, G-3/5/7 has signed the FNSI that concluded there 
will be no significant environmental impacts, other than socioeconomic, 
likely to result from implementation of either of the analyzed 
alternatives. Although there could be significant socioeconomic 
impacts, these alone do not require the preparation of an Environmental 
Impact Statement; therefore, one will not be prepared.
    An electronic version of the FNSI and PEA is available for download 
at http://aec.army.mil/usaec/nepa/topics00.html.
