DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

National Nuclear Security Administration

Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for
the Continued Operation of the Department of Energy/National Nuclear
Security Administration Nevada Test Site and Off-Site Locations in the
State of Nevada

AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security
Administration.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact statement
and conduct public scoping meetings.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), the Council on Environmental
Quality (CEQ) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) regulations
implementing NEPA (40 CFR Parts 1500-1508 and 10 CFR Part 1021,
respectively), the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), a
semi-autonomous agency within DOE, announces its intention to prepare a
site-wide environmental impact statement (SWEIS) (DOE/EIS-0426) for the
continued operation of DOE/NNSA activities at the Nevada Test Site
(NTS) and certain off-site locations (the Remote Sensing Laboratory at
Nellis Air Force Base, Las Vegas, Nevada, the DOE/NNSA campus in North
Las Vegas, and the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) including
activities at the Tonopah Test Range (TTR)) in the State of Nevada. The
purpose of this notice is to invite individuals, organizations, and
government agencies and entities to participate in developing the scope
of the SWEIS.
    The new SWEIS will consider a No Action Alternative, which is to
continue current operations through implementation of the 1996 Record
of Decision (ROD) (61 FR 65551; 12/13/96), and subsequent decisions.
Three action alternatives proposed for consideration in the SWEIS would
be compared to the No Action Alternative. The three action alternatives
would differ by either their type or level of on-going operations and
may include proposals for new operations or the reduction or
elimination of certain operations.

DATES: NNSA invites comments on the scope of this SWEIS. The public
scoping period starts with the publication of this notice in the
Federal Register and will continue through October 16, 2009. NNSA will
consider all comments defining the scope of the SWEIS received or
postmarked by this date. Comments received or postmarked after this
date will be considered to the extent practicable. NNSA will conduct
public scoping meetings in Las Vegas, Tonopah and Pahrump, Nevada and
St. George, Utah scheduled as follows:

Thursday, September 10, 2009--2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m.
    Frank H. Rogers Science & Technology Building, Desert Research
Institute, 755 East Flamingo Road, Las Vegas, NV.
Monday, September 14, 2009--5:30-7:30 p.m.
    Bob Ruud Community Center, 150 North Highway 160, Pahrump, NV.
Wednesday, September 16, 2009--5:30-7:30 p.m.
    Tonopah Convention Center, 301 Brougher Ave., Tonopah, NV.
Friday, September 18, 2009--5:30-7:30 p.m.
    Holiday Inn Conference Center, 850 South Bluff Street, St. George,
Utah.

    These scoping meetings will provide the public with an opportunity
to present comments, ask questions, and discuss issues with NNSA
officials regarding the SWEIS. Preparation of the SWEIS will require
participation of other Federal agencies. As bordering land managers,
the USAF and BLM have an inherent interest in activities at the Nevada
Test Site (NTS). The DHS and DTRA are tenant organizations with ongoing
and future operations at the NTS: Therefore requests for cooperating
agency participation will be extended to the DOE, Department of
Defense, U.S. Air Force (USAF) and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency
(DTRA), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Department
of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM.)

ADDRESSES: To submit comments on the scope of the SWEIS, questions
about the document or scoping meetings, or to be included on the
document distribution list, please contact: Linda M. Cohn, NNSA Nevada
Site Office, SWEIS Document Manager, P.O. Box 98518, Las Vegas, Nevada
89193-8518; telephone (702) 295-0077; fax (702) 295-5300; or e-mail
