Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for 
T-X Recapitalization Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph

AGENCY: Department of the Air Force, Department of Defense.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The United States Air Force (USAF) is issuing this notice to 
advise the public of the intent to prepare an Environmental Impact 
Statement (EIS) for the proposed T-X Recapitalization at Joint Base San 
Antonio (JBSA)-Randolph. The EIS will assess the potential 
environmental consequences of the replacement of T-38C aircraft with 
the new fifth-generation T-X training aircraft, and, construction and 
renovation of T-X support facilities at JBSA-Randolph, Texas.

DATES: USAF invites the public, stakeholders, and other interested 
parties to attend an open house public scoping meeting from 5 p.m. to 8 
p.m. on Tuesday, March 19, 2019 at the Olympia Hills Golf & Event 
Center, 12900 Mount Olympus, Universal City, Texas. A second open house 
public scoping meeting will be held from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, 
March 20, 2019 at Midway Hall, 728 Midway, Seguin, Texas. Participants 
may provide written comments at either of these public scoping 
meetings.

ADDRESSES: The project website www.TXRecapitalizationEIS.com provides 
more information on the EIS and can be used to submit scoping comments. 
Scoping comments may also be submitted to Mr. Christopher Moore, (210) 
925-2728, AFCEC/CZN; Attn: T-X Recapitalization EIS; 2261 Hughes Ave, 
Suite 155; JBSA Lackland, TX 78236-9853, 
[email protected]. Comments will be accepted at any time 
during the environmental impact analysis process. However, to ensure 
the USAF has sufficient time to consider public input in the 
preparation of the Draft EIS, scoping comments should be submitted in 
English to the website or the address listed above by April 5, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The USAF intends to prepare an EIS to 
address the proposed replacement of the T-38C aircraft with the T-X 
aircraft and evaluate alternatives with varying levels of aircraft 
operations, five military construction projects and additional minor 
facility renovations at JBSA-Randolph.
    Scoping and Agency Coordination: To effectively define the full 
range of issues to be evaluated in the EIS, the USAF will determine the 
scope of the analysis by soliciting comments from interested local, 
state and federal elected officials and agencies, as well as interested 
members of the public and others. A scoping meeting will be held in 
Universal City and the City of Seguin and the scheduled dates, times, 
and locations for the scoping meetings will also be published in local 
media a minimum of 15 days prior to the scoping meeting. The USAF also 
welcomes comments under Section 106 of the National Historic 
Preservation Act (36 Code of Federal Regulations 800) regarding the 
identification of or effects on historic properties.
    If you have comments or would like to become a consulting party in 
the Section 106 process, please visit the project website or contact 
Mr. Christopher Moore, AFCEC/CZN at the address above.

Acting Air Force Federal Register Liaison Officer.
