Notice of Intent To Prepare Environmental Impact Analyses for 
Defense Base Realignment and Disposal Actions Resulting From the 1995 
Commission's Recommendations

AGENCY: Department of Defense, United States Army.

ACTION: Correction notice.

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

SUMMARY: In previous Federal Register notice (60 FR 49263-49264) of 
September 22, 1995, the following corrections should be made:
    On page 49263 in column three, paragraph a(2) indicates that an 
environmental assessment is planned for Detroit Arsenal, Michigan, for 
receiving automotive materiel management functions from Aviation-Troop 
Command, St. Louis, Missouri, to align with Tank-Automotive and 
Armaments Command. This relocation is below the threshold requiring an 
environmental assessment and is covered by a Department of Army 
categorical exclusion which will be analyzed within a Record of 
Consideration.
    On page 49263 in column three, paragraph a(4) indicates that an 
environmental assessment is planned for Fort Bliss, Texas, for 
receiving U.S. Army Test and Experimentation Center missions and 
functions from Fort Hunter Liggett, California. Department of the Army 
approved a plan on July 31, 1996, to inactivate the U.S. Army Test and 
Experimentation Center in place. Therefore, the environmental analysis 
on its relocation is canceled.
    On page 49264 in column one, paragraph c(2) indicates that an 
environmental assessment is planned for property disposal at Big 
Coppitt Key, Florida. The property has since been identified for 
transfer to the Department of the Navy. The transfer of real property 
administrative control to another military department is covered by a 
Department of Army categorical exclusion which will be analyzed within 
a Record of Consideration.
    On page 49264 in column one, paragraph c(22) indicates that an 
environmental assessment is planned for property disposal at Senena 
Army Depot, New York. We have reassessed our initial determination and 
now plan to analyze property disposal at this site in an environmental 
impact statement.
    On page 49264 in column one, paragraph c(24) indicates that an 
environmental assessment is planned for property disposal at Sudbury 
Training Annex, Massachusetts. The property has since been identified 
for transfer to other federal agencies. The transfer of real property 
administrative control to other federal agencies is covered by a 
Department of Army categorical exclusion which will be analyzed within 
a Record of Consideration.
    On page 49264 in column one, paragraph d(2) indicates that an 
environmental impact statement is planned for property disposal at 
Defense Distribution Depot, Memphis, Tennessee. We have reassessed our 
initial determination and now plan to analyze property disposal at this 
site in an environmental assessment.
