  • The public participates in the NEPA process during the following stages:
    • Scoping Period: Help to identify the scope of the analysis, including potential environmental issues and viable alternatives.
    • Draft EIS/OEIS Public Review and Comment Period: Evaluate and provide substantive comments on the draft analysis.
    • Final EIS/OEIS 30-Day Wait Period: Review the Final EIS/OEIS and Navy responses to substantive comments received on the Draft EIS/OEIS.
