Notice of Availability of a Finding of No Significant Impact

(FONSI) for the Construction of an 18-hole Golf Course at Andrews Air

Force Base, Maryland

The U.S. Air Force (USAF) is proposing the construction of an 18-

hole golf course in accordance with the National Environmental Policy

Act (NEPA) the Council on Environmental Quality regulations

implementing NEPA, the Department of Defense Directive (DOD) 6050.1,

and Air Force Instruction 32-7061. These directives require the USAF to

consider environmental consequences when authorizing or approving

federal actions.

The USAF has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) analyzing

the potential environmental consequences of the proposed golf course

construction.

On the basis of the EA, we conclude the implementation of the

proposed action will not have a significant effect on the quality of

the environment at Andrews Air Force Base and, as a result, an

Environmental Impact Statement is not warranted.

Comments on this FONSI must be received on or before 16 Aug 95 and

may be addressed to Lt Col Michael Newberry, 89 CES/CEV, 3465 North

Carolina St, Andrews AFB, MD, 20331-4803, Telephone (301) 981-2579.

Documents are available for public review at Oxon Hill Public

Library, 6200 Oxon Hill Rd, Oxon Hill, MD, Telephone (301) 839-2400.

Air Force Federal Register Liaison Officer.
