EIELSON AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska -- The United States Department of the Air Force is in the initial stages of examining an optimization plan for the Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex (JPARC).
The JPARC consists of all airspace used for military training in Alaska, providing unmatched opportunities for present and future service, joint, interagency and multinational training.
Proposed modifications on the existing Air Force-managed JPARC will address evolving training needs for U.S. and allied forces aircrews.
Public engagement is a key part of the Air Force’s National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process. There are designated phases of NEPA’s Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process when the public can provide comments.
The Air Force is hosting a series of meetings to provide information to interested parties and solicit questions from the public about the proposed action.
Virtual Public Meetings (Alaska Time):
• Saturday, Jan. 24, 10:00 a.m.
• Monday, Jan. 26, 6:00 p.m.
• Wednesday, Jan. 28, 6:00 p.m.
• Thursday, Jan. 29, 10:00 a.m.
Additional details can be found at www.JPARCairspaceEIS.com.
Questions, comments, and concerns can be addressed during the virtual meetings. Please visit the website for instructions on how to access them.
