The FEIS evaluates potential environmental and socioeconomic effects that would occur upon implementation of realignment actions at APG pursuant to recommendations of the 2005 Defense Base Realignment and Closure ( BRAC) Commission.

The FEIS addresses alternatives that include renovation of existing facilities and construction of new facilities required to accommodate incoming military missions and a net gain of about 4,400 people as mandated by the 2005 BRAC Commission's recommendations at APG.  Activities realigning to APG are administrative and research and development in nature.

The waiting period on the FEIS will end 30 days after publication of the notice of availability on 12 July 2007 in the Federal Register by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.  A Record of Decision will be signed at the end of this 30-day period.
