SUMMARY: The United States Department of the Navy, after carefully 
weighing the strategic, operational, and environmental consequences of 
the Proposed Action (Point Mugu Sea Range Final Environmental Impact 
Statement/Overseas Environmental Impact Statement (EIS/OEIS), published 
in the Federal Register on January 7, 2022), is announcing its decision 
to continue military readiness activities and increase research, 
development, acquisition, testing, evaluation, and training activities 
in the Point Mugu Sea Range as identified under Alternative 1 in the 
Point Mugu Sea Range Final EIS/OEIS.

ADDRESSES: The complete text of the Record of Decision (ROD) is 
available on the project website at www.pmsr-eis.com, along with the 
January 2022 Final EIS/OEIS and supporting documents. Single copies of 
the ROD are available upon request by contacting: Commander, Naval Air 
Warfare Center Weapons Division, Range Sustainability Office/

Room 101 (M/S0460), Point Mugu, CA 93042-5049, Attention: Point Mugu 
Sea Range EIS/OEIS Project Manager.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Implementation of Alternative 1 (Preferred 
Alternative) will enable the Navy, other U.S. military services, and 
its allies to meet their respective missions. The Navy's mission, under 
Title 10 United States Code (U.S.C.) Section 5062, is to maintain, 
train, and equip combat-ready military forces capable of winning wars, 
deterring aggression, and maintaining freedom of the seas. Alternative 
1 includes activities that are the same or similar to those currently 
occurring, but that would occur at a more frequent level. Alternative 1 
is based on increasing requirements to meet the current geopolitical 
environment, and supports the full spectrum of potential testing and 
training necessary to respond to a national emergency or crisis. The 
Navy will continue to implement the full suite of mitigation measures 
detailed in Chapter 5 (Standard Operating Procedures and Mitigation 
Measures) of the Point Mugu Sea Range Final EIS/OEIS to avoid or reduce 
potential environmental impacts during testing and training activities.
