{"abstract":"Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, and regulations implemented by the Council on Environmental Quality, the Department of the Navy (DoN)(including both the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Marine Corps) in cooperation with the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Army, and U.S. Air Force, announces its intent to prepare the Hawaii-California Training and Testing (HCTT) Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)/Overseas EIS (OEIS). The HCTT EIS/OEIS will include an analysis of range sustainment and modernization activities, training activities; and research, development, testing, and evaluation activities (hereafter referred to as \"testing\") that will be conducted in the HCTT Study Area. When discussed together, training and testing are also referred to as \"military readiness activities.\" The DoN is initiating a 45-day public scoping process to receive comments on the scope of the EIS/OEIS including identification of potential alternatives and environmental concerns, information and analyses relevant to the Proposed Action, issues the public would like to see addressed in the EIS/OEIS, and the project's potential to affect historic properties pursuant to section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966.","action":"Notice.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE","name":"Defense Department","id":103,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/defense-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/103","parent_id":null,"slug":"defense-department"},{"raw_name":"Department of the Navy","name":"Navy Department","id":378,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/navy-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/378","parent_id":103,"slug":"navy-department"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2023/12/15/2023-26905.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"88 FR 86885","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2024-01-29","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"The 45-day public scoping period begins on December 15, 2023, and extends to January 29, 2024.
