The Department of the Air Force issued this NOI to prepare an EIS for T-7A Recapitalization at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, covering the replacement of T-38C aircraft with up to 108 to 131 T-7A aircraft. The EIS will analyze four alternatives (three action alternatives plus No Action) addressing flight operations, nighttime operations, temporary personnel increases of roughly 100 people, and construction and renovation of maintenance and support facilities. Anticipated impacts include increased nitrogen oxide emissions, aircraft noise affecting nearby environmental justice communities, and potential floodplain disturbance. The 30-day scoping period opened July 3, 2024; the Draft EIS is expected mid-2025 and the Final EIS in late 2025.
