    When: August 19, 2014

    The 2013 National Defense Authorization Act requires
    the MDA to prepare an EIS to evaluate possible
    additional locations in the U.S. best suited for a potential
    future deployment of an interceptor site capable of
    protecting the homeland against threats from nations,
    such as North Korea and Iran. The existing Ground-
    based Midcourse Defense System provides homeland
    defense from a limited long-range ballistic missile
    attack. The Department of Defense has not made
    a decision to deploy or construct the CIS.
    Four locations are being considered as part of the EIS:
    Fort Custer Training Center (FCTC), Augusta, MI; Camp
    Ravenna Joint Military Training Center Ohio Army
    National Guard, Portage and Trumbull Counties, OH; Fort
    Drum, Fort Drum, NY; and the Center for Security Forces
    Detachment Kittery Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and
    Escape Facility (SERE East), Redington Township, ME.
    Public input is important to ensure signicant
    environmental issues, other areas of concern, and
    alternatives are considered early in the EIS process.
    The public meeting will be in an open house format,
    which provides attendees with the opportunity to
    talk with and ask questions of representatives from
    the MDA and Fort Drum. Additionally, you will have
    the opportunity to provide verbal and written ocial
    comments. The MDA will use your input to help identify
    environmental and other issues to be considered in
    completing this EIS.
    In addition to attending the meeting, the public may
    submit written comments until September 15, 2014.

    meeting to review the scope of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for a potential additional
