DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
United States Air Force
Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement for
Modification of the Condor 1 and
Condor 2 Military Operations Areas
Used by the 104th Fighter Wing of the
Massachusetts Air National Guard

sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES

AGENCY: Air National Guard,
Department of Defense.
ACTION: Notice of intent (NOI) to prepare
an environmental impact statement.
SUMMARY: This notice replaces the
posting in the Federal Register on June
17, 2009, Vol. 74, No. 115 with the
corrected location of the public hearing
from the Civic Center in Augusta,
Maine. In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, as amended (42 United States
Code [U.S.C.] 4321–4347), the Council
on Environmental Quality (CEQ) NEPA
Regulations (40 Code of Federal
Regulations [CFR] parts 1500–1508),
and the United States Air Force’s
(USAF) Environmental Impact Analysis
Process (EIAP, 32 CFR part 989), the Air
Force is issuing this notice to advise the
public and other Federal agencies that
the ANG intends to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for proposed modifications of the
Condor 1 and Condor 2 Military
Operations Areas (MOAs) used by the
104th Fighter Wing (FW) of the
Massachusetts ANG (MAANG). The
104th FW is based at Barnes ANG Base
in Westfield, Massachusetts. The study
area for this EIS includes portions of
Piscataquis, Somerset, Franklin, and
Oxford counties in Maine and a portion
of Coos County, New Hampshire.
The ANG and Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) completed an
Environmental Assessment (EA) of this
proposal in June 2008. However, in
response to requests from elected
officials and the general public, the
ANG has elected to prepare an EIS. The
ANG conducted five previous scoping
meetings in the towns of Rumford,
Mexico, Rangeley, and Farmington (2),
Maine as part of the EA process; the
previous scoping meetings are sufficient
and follow-on scoping meetings are not
deemed necessary. However, the Air
Force requests formal written scoping

comments from the public, State and
local government agencies, as well as
affected Federal agencies for 30 days
after the publication date of this NOI, to
ascertain if there are additional issues
relevant to the range of actions,
alternatives, and impacts to be
examined in detail in the draft EIS.
The Condor 1 and 2 MOAs are
centered approximately 200 nautical
miles northeast of Barnes ANG Base.
The altitudes of both MOAs currently
extend from 7,000 feet above mean sea
level (MSL) (between approximately
2,800 feet and 6,300 feet above ground
level [AGL]) up to 18,000 ft MSL.
Condor 1 MOA is located immediately
west of Condor 2 MOA. The Condor 1
and 2 MOAs are currently utilized by
aircraft from the MAANG, the Vermont
ANG, the United States Air Force, and
the United States Navy. Units from
these services utilize a variety of aircraft
including the F–15, F–16, KC–10, KC–
135, and P–3. Of these aircraft, F–15 and
F–16 operations currently constitute 86–
88% of annual operations in the Condor
1 and 2 MOAs.
The Ready Aircrew Program (RAP) is
the United States Air Force’s
continuation training program designed
to focus training or develop capabilities
needed to accomplish a unit’s core
missions. The RAP requirements for
every qualified F–15 and F–16 pilot
include Low Altitude Awareness
Training (LOWAT) which includes
realistic, mission oriented air-to-air
operations while in a LOWAT-certified
low-altitude block at or below 1,000 feet
AGL, as well as Low Slow/Visual
Identification intercept and Slow
Shadow intercept training missions.
These training missions require pilots to
identify and engage aerial targets at low
altitude, and perform low altitude
navigation, tactical formation, and
defensive maneuvering to avoid or
negate threats.
In order to be Combat Mission Ready,
all F–15 and F–16 pilots are required to
demonstrate proficiency in these skills
down to 500 feet AGL, over land, on a
regular basis. Pilot operational training
standards require missions to be
accomplished in the low, medium, and
high altitude regimes. As currently
defined, the floors of Condor 1 and 2
MOAs are too high to allow for the
effective and efficient completion of
required training. The purpose of the
Proposed Action is to rectify these
deficiencies and provide the 104th FW
with adequate training airspace in a safe
training environment to fulfill its
mission.
The 104 FW proposes to combine the
Condor 1 and 2 MOAs, divide the
combined MOA into Condor Low MOA

and Condor High MOA, and lower the
flight floor of the proposed Condor Low
MOA from 7,000 feet MSL to 500 feet
AGL. Condor Low MOA would extend
from 500 feet AGL up to, but not
include, 7,000 feet MSL. Condor High
MOA would extend from 7,000 feet
MSL up to, but not include, 18,000
MSL. As part of the EIAP, and in
accordance with the requirements of
NEPA, the EIS will consider potential
alternatives to the Proposed Action.
Other Alternatives to be considered
include lowering the floor of Condor 1
MOA and leaving Condor 2 MOA
unchanged, completing low-altitude
training in other airspace in the
Northeast, deploying to conduct lowaltitude training, and no action.
The draft EIS will be made available
for a 45-day public review and comment
period. The Air Force will sponsor a
public hearing on the draft EIS in mid
August 2009 at the University of Maine,
Farmington, ME. Notification of hearing
time and related logistics will be made
via local public notifications.
No additional meetings are planned at
this time. In addition to comments
received at the public hearing, any
written comments on the draft EIS
received at the address below by
October 1, 2009, will be considered in
the preparation of this EIS.
