SUMMARY: The United States Department of the Navy (DoN), after 
carefully weighing the strategic, operational, and environmental 
consequences of the proposed action, announces its decision to conduct 
training and testing activities in the Hawaii-Southern California study 
area as described in Alternative 2 of the Final Environmental Impact 
Statement/Overseas Environmental Impact Statement for Hawaii-Southern 
California Training and Testing, dated August 2013. Under Alternative 
2, the DoN will be able to meet current and future DoN and Department 
of Defense training and testing requirements. In addition to analyzing 
baseline testing and training in Alternative 2, the DoN analyzed areas 
where training and testing will continue as in the past, but were not 
considered in previous environmental analyses. Alternative 2 also 
includes the establishment of new range capabilities, as well as 
modifications of existing abilities; adjustments to the type and tempo 
of training and testing; and the establishment of additional locations 
to conduct activities between range complexes.
