On March 7, 2007 a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an EIS/OEIS was published in the Federal Register. The NOI briefly described the DoD's proposed actions and announced its intent to hold public scoping meetings. The JGPO held a series of public scoping (information gathering) meetings on Guam, Saipan, and Tinian during April 2007. The intent of these meetings was to: (1) inform the public of DoD's proposed activities, and (2) seek input from the public regarding any concerns or issues related to the proposed activities.

Information displayed and materials that were handed out at the public scoping meetings are provided in PDF format below.
