Notice of Availability (NOA); Final Environmental Impact 
Statement (FEIS) for the Proposed Disposal of the Volunteer Army 
Ammunition Plant (VAAP); Chattanooga, TN

    Pursuant to the requirements of the National Environmental Policy 
Act (NEPA) of 1969, and the President's Council on Environmental 
Quality Regulations (40 CFR parts 1500-1508), as implemented by General 
Services Administration (GSA), this Notice of Availability (NOA) for 
FEIS is announced. The proposed action is the disposal of all of real 
property associated with this government owned facility. The property 
consists of about 6,500 acres of land including buildings, industrial 
facilities and equipment, roadways, utilities, specialized facilities, 
easements, rights of way, and natural undeveloped land.
    The FEIS addresses impacts of two alternatives considered: Disposal 
and No-Action (Continued Federal Ownership). The FEIS examined the 
short and long-term impacts to both natural environment and impacts to 
the surrounding community. The Disposal Alternative is further refined 
into a series of land use scenarios. These were developed with the 
input from the local community and through the scoping process. GSA has 
addressed comments on the Draft EIS in the FEIS.
    The FEIS release date is July 30, 1999. After a 30-day period for 
final comment, GSA will issue a Record of Decision (ROD). The decision 
on the proposed Disposal will be made 30 days after the release of the 
FEIS. GSA anticipates this decision will be rendered on August 30, 
1999.
    GSA solicits final comments in writing at the following address: 
Mr. Phil Youngberg, Regional Environmental Officer (4PT), General 
Services Administration (GSA), 401 West Peachtree Street, NW, Suite 
3015, Atlanta, GA 30365; Fax: Mr. Phil Youngberg at 404-331-4540.

    Dated: July 23, 1999.
Phil Youngberg,
Regional Environmental Officer (4PT).
