SUMMARY: Pursuant to National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the 
Department of Army (DA) prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Statement 
(DEIS) to evaluate alternatives for future family housing development 
for Fort McCoy, Wisconsin. Approximately 16 units are proposed for 
construction in fiscal year 1994. Additional units may be constructed 
as required, with the total constructed over a 20-year period not to 
exceed 374 units. The facilities are needed to replace existing 
substandard family housing on-post and an inadequate supply of rental 
units in the surrounding communities. The DEIS evaluates three 
alternatives:

    a. Plan for development of family housing on post on a 262-acre 
site along State Highway 21 on the west side of the installation.
    b. Develop off-post, rental units financed by a third party in 
Sparta and Tomah. A maximum of 187 units would be developed in each 
city over a 20-year period.
    c. No action.

DATES: A 45-day public review period commences with publication of a 
notice by the Environmental Protection Agency.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on the report may be submitted to Mr. 
Robert Sholl at Burns & McDonnell Engineers, 4800 East 63rd Street, 
Kansas City, MO 64130-4696.
