All three scale down development and remove any fighter aircraft operations. As in the original 2012 draft EIS, the revision includes Saipan-only and Tinian-only alternatives. There is now, also, a hybrid alternative dividing activities between the two islands. The Air Forces goal is to have backup capacity in the Marianas region in the event its planes cannot use Anderson Air Force Base on Guam because of a natural disaster or military attack. On Wednesday, November 4, the Air Force will host an open house meeting on the revised draft EIS at Northern Marianas College, Building D-1, from 5 to 8 p.m. On Thursday, November 5, there will be an open house at Tinian Elementary School Cafeteria from 6 to 8 p.m. Public comment can be submitted at these meetings or online at https://pacafdivertmarianaseis.com/comment-form.html. All comments must be received by December 1, 2015 (ChST). # | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
