Public Involvement
*** Virtual Public Meeting Recording (AFTT Webinar Recording) Now Available in Left-Hand Pane ***
Background
NEPA requires federal agencies to consider the potential environmental impacts of their proposed actions before making a decision. The public has an opportunity to provide input at the following key phases of the NEPA process:
- During the public scoping phase: The public helps identify the scope of analysis, environmental resource areas, and potential alternatives to be analyzed in the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (Supplemental).
- During the public comment period for the Draft Supplemental (anticipated in fall of 2024): The public evaluates and comments on the draft analysis of the Proposed Action and alternatives and their potential impacts on environmental resource areas.
- Comments submitted during the scoping phase will be taken into consideration during the development of the Draft Supplemental. Comments received during the draft review public comment period will become part of the public record and will be addressed in the Final Supplemental.
- Upon completion, the Final Supplemental will be released to the public. Following the 30-day wait period, the Department of the Navy will issue a Record of Decision.
