SUMMARY: The Department of Defense (DoD) announces the availability of 
the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) as part of the 
environmental planning process for the East Campus Integration Program 
at Fort George G. Meade, Maryland (hereafter referred to as Fort 
Meade). The DoD proposes to continue to develop operational complex and

on Fort Meade for use by NSA and the Intelligence Community.

DATES: The Final EIS is available for a 30-day period following

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the Proposed Action is to 
provide facilities that are fully supportive of the Intelligence 
Community's function and to continue to integrate the East Campus with 
the NSA Main Campus. The need for the action is to meet mission 
requirements, both internally at the NSA and within the Intelligence 
Community. The EIS considered four options for emergency power 
generation; two options for building heating systems; four options for 
locations of parking facilities; acquisition of additional space at two 
existing, offsite leased locations; and the No Action Alternative.
