The Study Area remains unchanged from that presented in the 2020 environmental analysis. The Study Area includes the at-sea areas of the Mariana Islands Range Complex (MIRC); additional areas on the high seas north and west of the MIRC; the transit corridor between the MIRC and the Hawaii Range Complex; Navy pierside locations on Guam in Apra Harbor and nearshore areas of Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands; and FDM, where at-sea and land-based activities may impact land.
Because the MITT SEIS/OEIS Proposed Action does not include any changes to the land-based activities on Guam, Saipan, Tinian, and Rota previously analyzed in 2015, the Action Proponents will not reanalyze land-based activities on these islands in the SEIS/OEIS. As was done in the 2020 SEIS/OEIS, the Action Proponents are updating the analysis for activities proposed to occur on and around FDM.
