The U.S. Naval Special Warfare Command (NSWC) has prepared a
Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) to analyze the potential impacts of proposed
naval special operations training in the State of Hawaii. The public is encouraged to
review and provide comments on the Draft EA through Dec. 10, 2018.
Concurrent with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, the Navy is
conducting National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) Section 106 consultations regarding
potential effects of the Proposed Action on historic properties. NSWC has determined that
the naval special operations training is considered an Undertaking as defined in the
NHPA 36 CFR §800.16(y) and is a type of activity that has the potential to cause effects on
historic properties. Pursuant to 36 CFR §800.2(d), 800.3(b), and 800.3(e), the Navy is
soliciting members of the public who wish to participate as consulting parties in the NHPA
Section 106 process associated with this Undertaking. If interested in participating, provide
written notification at the email or physical addresses below within 30 days of this notice.
