Notice of 30-Day Public Review Period and Availability of Final 
Environmental Assessment and Draft Finding of No Significant Impact: 
Former Naval Air Station Alameda, Alameda, California

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice provides information on the 30-day public review 
period and availability of a Final Environmental Assessment (EA) and 
Draft Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the Department of 
Navy's (DoN) transfer of excess property at Naval Air Station (NAS) 
Alameda, Alameda, California.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Kimberly A. Ostrowski, Director, 
Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Base Realignment and Closure 
Program Management Office, West, 1455 Frazee Road, Suite 900, San 
Diego, CA 92108-4310, telephone 619-532-0993.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Proposed Action is the transfer of 
approximately 624 acres of excess federal property at the former NAS 
Alameda from the DoN to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) via

[[Page 69078]]

a Federal-to-Federal transfer. VA will be responsible for the 
subsequent construction and operation of an outpatient clinic (OPC), 
offices, and National Cemetery on approximately 112 acres of land 
(referred to as the ``VA Development Area'').
    Based on information gathered during preparation of the Final EA 
and based upon the findings in the Final EA, DoN finds that 
implementation of the Proposed Action, with the VA's implementation and 
monitoring of the mitigation measures identified in the FONSI, would 
not have a significant impact on the human environment and an 
Environmental Impact Statement is not required for the transfer of 
excess property and VA's development of an OPC, offices, cemetery, and 
associated infrastructure at the former NAS Alameda.
    The FONSI is available for public review for 30 days before 
becoming final at which time the proposed action may be implemented. 
The FONSI public review period ends 30 days after issuance of the 
Notice of Availability.

Commander, Office of the Judge Advocate General, U.S. Navy, Federal 
Register Liaison Officer.
