SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 14, 1995, DOE published a Notice of
Intent (NOI) in the Federal Register to prepare a PEIS on the Stockpile
Stewardship and Management Program [60 FR 31291]. A public comment
period, during which DOE held public scoping meetings at the sites
potentially affected by the program, followed the NOI and lasted until
August 11, 1995. Comments received during the scoping period were
considered in developing the Stockpile Stewardship and Management PEIS
IP.
The Stockpile Stewardship and Management IP describes the scope of
the PEIS, including the alternatives that will be evaluated. Eight DOE
sites are potentially affected: Pantex Plant (Amarillo, Texas),
Savannah River Site (Aiken, South Carolina), Y-12 Plant (Oak Ridge,
Tennessee), Kansas City Plant (Kansas City, Missouri), Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory (Livermore, California), Los Alamos
National Laboratory (Los Alamos, New Mexico), Sandia National
Laboratories (Albuquerque, New Mexico), and the Nevada Test Site (Las
Vegas, Nevada).
The Stockpile Stewardship and Management Draft PEIS is expected to
be available in February 1996. Following the publication of the Draft
PEIS, public hearings will be held at potentially affected sites.
Information on the locations, dates, and times of the public hearings
will be published in the Federal Register at least 15 days prior to the
first hearing, and will also be made available by additional
appropriate means, including the electronic bulletin board addressed
above.
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 28th of December, 1995.
Victor H. Reis,
Assistant Secretary for Defense Programs.
